I am 72 years old. My father was antifa. My mother was antifa. Four of my maternal uncles were antifa. Two of my maternal aunts were antifa. My paternal great uncle was antifa. They all joined the military to fight the fascists in WWII. I am antifa.

Believing that Trump took over the D.C. police department because he's discovered a crime "emergency" in D.C., is like believing Trump had Ghislaine Maxwell transferred to a "Club Fed" minimum security facility because he's taken a sudden interest in federal prison management.

THIS is what courage looks like.Today, striking farmworkers bravely stood in front of cameras, the community, and the press, risking their jobs, safety, and future. To speak the truth. About the stolen wages. About the years of being unheard. This is a movement. And today was a turning point.

Trump talking to Musk - about incarcerating NOT JUST American citizens that are criminals currently incarcerated here... But also "non productive" citizens. I really really hope that @hcrichardson.bsky.social addresses this during her Virtual Town Hall in just an hour... (Everyone should attend)

As I posted in August on the other place… Still thinking about (& waiting for *any* journalist to ask about): Trump’s claim that heads of other countries are “getting rid of non-productive people” — a plan he called “brilliant for them” — and what he meant when he said “so would I”…..????👇

New knowledge for me today! Kudos to Robert Vaughn...

Raise a glass for the legendary and literate Robert Vaughn, born this day in 1932. This guy wrote a book on the Hollywood blacklist to earn a PhD after he had an Oscar nomination!

You are up to date.
