Fascists lose in Brazil, Serbia, and Hungary. Rising protests in Albania, France, and other European countries against billionaires and corruption. Very encouraging...

I made donations yesterday to Peltola and Talarico and now @actblueorg.bsky.social has their mitts on me and are text spamming many times a day. I realize everyone needs money but this is really too much. Stop!!!

Wow, that's a really good point.

Meta and Tik Tok refusing to allow the trailer for Musk to run as a paid ad on their site—just like any other movie trailer—means users should fight tech oligarch solidarity and share it widely youtu.be/FFTf1lzcs28?...

The situation in Haiti is terrifying. On Sunday, 150 gunmen swept down on a town to kill, rape, loot, and burn. 22 people were executed in a churchyard. 52 were taken hostage. Stephen Miller mockingly says Haiti is safe and ICE just sent its second deportation flight this month; with kids on board.

We are a broken nation. Hundreds of thousands of Haitians were living and working legally, paying taxes, and contributing. Haiti remains wholly unsafe. But Trump hates Haitians, and the White House wanted videos of Black people in chains, so they stripped them of status and turned on the cameras.

Absolutely bonkers.

Absolutely devastating that the Spokane fire was intentionally started. www.king5.com/article/news...

Reuters finally acknowledges existence of Network State: “Concerns have also been raised over Srinivasan’s mission, outlined in his 2022 book The Network State, to set up new decentralised communities separate from existing nation ​states...” www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

This week is going to be stupid. Next week will be worse, and the week after that even worse..., and then we will have elections. The days after that, it'll be so bad that we will miss these days.

ICE is still gunning people down in our streets. It is a moral tragedy that this has become commonplace in our country. Do not let anyone convince you that it has to be this way. This is a choice.

Epstein survivors released this video today urging senators to block the confirmation of Todd Blanche for Attorney General. They’re trying to get to 20,000 signatures on their petition to send a message to the Senate. ujoin.co/campaigns/45...

Not to make this all about America, but things like this, the Tartan Army, the Cape Verde story, Bosnia-Herzegovina and others are good illustrations of how you can be proud to be where you're from and confident in your identity while being kind and gracious and without being a complete dingleberry

Trump et al will drag this out, and hang their hats on the Kavanaugh dissent that says congress can enact a statutory correction on birthright. But the majority clearly said it cannot and to do do is unconstitutional. Ugly.

This is simply not true. Congress cannot do this without a Constitutional Amendment. No gray area here.

I love this one. This was the one that made me realize these were going to work. A minute isn’t much time and I worried it was too little. But this one does more in a minute than I could do in a whole semester.

Kagan makes sure that Trump’s gutter racism — and the majority hand-waiving it away — gets into the record.

Anyone not running on reforming the Supreme Court cant be the leader of anything moving forward. It's an unhinged gang of extremists unrestrained by anything or anyone.

The Supreme Court is utterly diseased. We must flip the senate, block all Trump nominees, kill the filibuster, elect a Dem POTUS, and pass a law adding four seats to remediate the racist cancer on the bench.

🚨 BIG NEWS. A federal court just declared unlawful and blocked a series of Trump admin policies heavily restricting legal immigration since last December. The judge overturns "pauses" on immigration benefits for nationals of disfavored countries, as well as related policies.

this guy (left) was doing insanely brisk biz with Knicks merch outside Penn/MSG. this woman was literally trying to buy the shirt off his back because it was the only large he had left in white. in the two mins I was standing there, this same thing happened twice. but he wouldn’t sell his own!

Our client with young kids and low income was hit with a $1.8 million fine for “refusing” to leave the country in spite of being on the wait list for a crime victim visa. The wait list explicitly gives “deferred action” —meaning the government won’t take any action against you. Bonkers and cruel.

”It should be for everyone.” I so agree with my friend below. Wake up people , evil is crawling out from under it’s rock ! It never left us, it’s been here all along.

Also mood:

not the vicar of christ with another absolute banger of a post

Seattle is always awesome. #NoKings

While cruelty has always been the point of Trump's whole Administration, nothing highlights that more than dropping a nearly blind elderly man 5 miles from nowhere in freezing weather so that he die alone, afraid, and abandoned. This is Trump's America. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

“By declining the State of the Union visit, the US Women’s Hockey Team’s polite 'no thanks' says more than any corporation, or tech billionaire, or media company is willing to say. Amid so much cowardice, it’s those who stood up who will be remembered…

“However alarmed you are, it’s not enough.” Stop what you’re doing and read this incredible @jvl.bsky.social piece.

This is incredibly similar to an experience I had with an asylum case in immigration court. www.seattletimes.com/opinion/here...

The extraordinary courage of people who are documenting ICE atrocities in places like Minneapolis, at great personal risk, are also achieving something else: They're changing the public's mind about immigration. We have a rare opportunity here. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2059...

NEW. Aaron Reichlin-Melnick on Trump's mass deportation regime. “The government wants to arrest, detain, and deport one in every 24 people—4% of the population. That can't be done without transforming who we are and our relationship to law enforcement.” youtu.be/AJ9WFEhCpTM?...

🚨HOLY CRAP. The Trump admin just took a SLEDGEHAMMER to due process, largely eliminating the Board of Immigration Appeals process and MANDATING DISMISSAL of ALL appeals (which cost $1,000 thanks to OBBBA) filed after tomorrow unless a majority of the BIA votes to hear the case.

The Boss comes through. Surprisingly wrenching.

The regime obviously thought they'd be able to take out a few dozen scary-queer-weirdo Antifa types in black masks and then successfully cow the rest of the Coastal Elite Liberal class into terrified silence: they were not expecting "totally fearless mass nonviolent resistance by entire cities."

Hopping on this bandwagon tonight! 💙💚

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

Marie Glausenkamp Perez has failed the people of the United States. As Washingtonians, we have a chance to at minimum censure her for funding the Murder Bureau through the Democratic Party Convention this summer. Censure her through the party. Sign up to run here: wadems.org/press/12-4-2...

Per the AP: “Drew Evans, superintendent of the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, said during a news conference Saturday that federal officers blocked his agency from the shooting scene, and when they returned with a signed judicial warrant, they were still blocked.”

Call it an execution. No other word.

There will be time for grief. And love and compassion. And resolve. And courage. But right now I’m so f**king MAD! #iceout

Stephen Miller called the victim, an ICU nurse at the VA filming ICE, a “domestic terrorist who tried to assassinate federal law enforcement.” Greg Bovino said he “wanted to massacre law enforcement.” You saw the videos. How can any Republican not call for their resignations?
