I took this picture of my cat Pandora today, and I had to meme it. That look sums up my feelings about the state of things. #Resist #ImpeachThemAll #Oligarchy #AntiFascist #Cat

Since there have been too many documented instances of ICE murdering people in the street or illegally grabbing or beating US citizens the Trump regime has an innovative solution; you can no longer film ICE and fuck your first amendment, buddy.

Just now, 11 state and city lawmakers were arrested by DHS police on the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza after a hour of demanding access to the ICE lock up on the same floor. @thecity.nyc

This is the playbook, folks. If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away. Do not be quiet in this moment.

Everyone should be held to the same standards.

The #StarTrek Strange New Worlds season finale was the most #DoctorWho ish episode of Trek ever, and it was beautiful. I don't mind a timey-wimey episode on occasion, especially if it's done well.

While we're "celebrating" the legacy of Charlie Kirk, let's not forget how he spread and elevated Russian propaganda. #CharlieKirk #Russia #Propaganda #FDT

Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life. The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.

RIP Charlie Kirk. May all who mourn find solace in knowing that he believed gun deaths were “worth it,” “prudent,” and “rational.”

What is happening in DC is an abuse of federal authority based on a manufactured crisis. Violent crime for 2024 in DC is down 35% from 2023, the lowest it’s been in 30+ years. #FreeDC

I saw a #Waymo self-driving car for the first time this past weekend. It was stuck at the bottom of an uphill road. Apparently, the grade was too steep for it to proceed. Sounds about right.

If you haven't been keeping up with the comedy world this past week, then fix that. Check out what South Park, Daily Show, and Late Show are up to. I caught up last night. Wonderful stuff.

We are a nation under duress. People are being taken from their homes, from grocery stores, from safe places. People with no prior criminal history. People who have active cases for citizenship or asylum.

Recently, my book THEY CALLED US ENEMY was banned – again – in Tennessee. Book bans are out of control. Huge parts of American history are being restricted.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."  -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

Too many Democrats are too timid to speak out against war with Iran, falsely believing that staying on the sidelines absolves them of the consequences of such colossal decisions. Email your senators: act.indivisible.org/sign/no-iran... Email your representative: act.indivisible.org/sign/no-iran...

“No New Wars” turned into “Let’s bomb Iran” real quick. It’s almost like the Trump regime is ideologically captured by the military industrial complex…

Well, fuck. Unauthorized (by Congress). "President for peace," huh? #Iran #Bomb #FDT #Resist

By now, we've all seen the video of Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) being forcibly removed and handcuffed for asking a question during Kristi Noem's press conference. But what Noem said just moments before the video was taken is "classic authoritarian red-baiting," points out @davidcorn.bsky.social.

My friends, it's not just happening in a galaxy far, far away.

I'll be at one of the No Kings rallies in Orange County on Saturday. Join me! #Resist

Today they have crossed a deep red line. We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

I'm on my way to the Senate floor to talk about the assault on my colleague, Senator Alex Padilla. This is a horrifying moment in our nation’s history.

If a US Senator is not safe from being handcuffed and detained for free speech, none of us are safe.

Thank you, @padilla.senate.gov You showed up. You demanded answers. You got in their faces. We see you representing us. Since they detained you for simply asking questions at a press conference, I hope more people get the message about the danger this country is in. #Resist #Padilla #ICE #DHS

It’s looking like Saturday’s No Kings mobilizations are going to be even bigger than Hands Off! We need to show up by the millions to demonstrate that Trump’s tyrannic crackdown is only deepening our resolve. Find a peaceful protest near you for No Kings Day: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

Save this and send it to anyone who may need it. We do still have rights.

LAPD when they think nobody is watching

They're not coming after "criminals and gang members." They're coming after kids. They're coming after members of our communities. This is a unconscionable. #DHS #ICE #AbolishICE #Not1More #Resist

Bernie, you rascal! You’re spot on here.

Boosting the signal. This happened today in LA. And he's just one of thousands around the US. But this time, they attacked someone in a position of power, someone in union leadership. Oops? #AbolishICE #ShutDownICE #Not1More #50501
