When Trump is finally defeated, remember that the hangers-on and the ghouls surrounding him, the JD Vances of the world, will all claim that they were trying to moderate his evil and they should be thanked. And we need to remember that this is a lie. They were willing to do anything for power.

Yes, Congress should be able to do these things. A court this contemptuous of Congress deserves to be packed by Congress, not only to correct these disastrous precedents but also because Congress needs to show both Article II and Article III who’s boss.

Tonight we congratulate our friend Stephen Colbert and his writers, staff and crew for eleven years of excellence. Watch Colbert’s finale tonight, and then never watch CBS again.

when we mourn le guin, we mourn one of our greatest writers & thinkers. but we also mourn one of our all-time greatest haters

Just wanted to remind folks, especially the GOP and the FDD, that Barack Obama’s 2015 nuclear deal didn’t give Iran control of the Strait of Hormuz or allow it to keep 60% enriched uranium. It sent $1.7 billion to Iran versus the tens of billions Iran will now make from tolls. 🤷🏽‍♂️

It's launch day for On Alien Skies, the final book in my Icarus Code series. Audio coming soon. www.amazon.com/Alien-Skies-... #BookSky

Definitely the first State of the Union where the president talked about the military killing unarmed fishermen as a laugh line

I tried to think of all the possible nonsense that could come out of the State of the Union address tonight and then realized there was enough possible nonsense I could just make Bingo cards.

Be a shame if a bunch of people started calling the hotel asking why they're hosting a gaggle of murderous ethnonationalist thugs

That's a @marriott-hotels.bsky.social outlet, if they'd like to go on record about hosting white supremacist gangs with a growing body count?

oh commuters just found the motherlode of ice agents at a suburban hotel, including, potentially, bovino himself. a bunch of confirmed ICE and CBP cars from the bovino convoy there. spring hill suites in maple grove. people of the twin cities, do with this info what you will.

AND IMPEACH AND REMOVE. We need to clamor for that even if the votes aren't there—yet.

ICE isn't law enforcement without training; ICE is white nationalism with guns.

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

"A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people." —The Declaration of Independence

The only lawless behavior I see in this video is ICE harassing and threatening people for no good reason. ICE authority is limited by federal law. They exist for immigration enforcement only. They do not have general police powers. (8 U.S.C. § 1357)

How much more in your face can it be? "Why are you asking me for my paperwork?" "Because of your accent." "You have an accent too." "Where were you born sir?" "Where were you born at?" "Put your hands behind your back."

I mean, I would, if I were them. The US is 100% not to be trusted any more, nor will we be again for a long time, if ever. Even when we get rid of the current feculent toad in what remains of the White House, the US fascist infrastructure will remain and could resurface, like a case of Nazi shingles

Flashback Kamala Harris: “Donald Trump intends to use the United States Military against American citizens who simply disagree with him.”

I also must say that it's a bit rich that Trump and his DOJ think it's a good idea to gin up a bullshit investigation about supposed illegalities in ... {checks notes} … renovating a federal building

Across the country, Americans are honoring Renee Nicole Good and mourning all the lives ICE has taken and destroyed. Hundreds of marches and vigils are planned this weekend. Please join us to say ICE Out For Good: www.mobilize.us?tag_ids=2913...

The Duffer Brothers were clearly channeling Jim Henson this season... #StrangerThings

As a former USAID worker, I strongly second this post.

In memory of all of the transgender people who have been lost to violence.

“Quiet, Piggy” would be fitting for his tombstone.

Our office is aware of reports that the Border Patrol is bringing its operation to Raleigh.

A sobering and necessary read. The answer to their question--both my own answer and that of the NYT Editorial Board--is "Yes." The next question is what we, as a nation, are going to do about it.

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

There was a huge turnout for Cary NC in June…but today was at least two to three times bigger. #nokingsCary

If you're in Northern Virginia, I'm giving a talk on Reading as Resistance from 11:30-12:00 tomorrow 10/4 at the Fredericksburg Independent Book Fest. (fredbookfest.com) It's a wonderful event with 60+ regional authors. We'll be outdoors on what should be a lovely fall day. Come join us! #booksky

Right after declaring ANTIFA a terrorist organization the Trump administration will be severing diplomatic ties with Narnia.

PBS & NPR educated the masses… their funding was cut Colbert rightfully called out a bribe… he was cancelled Kimmel said that MAGA were working hard to say the Kirk shooter wasn’t one of them… he gets suspended A Fox News host calls for mass killing of homeless people… and keeps his job Fascism.

Watching all these centrist pundits stress the “civility” of Charlie Kirk’s style without addressing the ugliness of his substance is giving me a renewed appreciation of how the civil, polite White Citizens’ Councils conned the same crowd into thinking they were distinct from the cruder Klan.

The details surrounding the abhorrent shooting of Charlie Kirk remain unclear, but what is crystal clear is that political violence is a cancer. This violence must have no safe harbor and must be condemned in all its forms and in all corners.

This is not reporting. This is propaganda.

Ditto.

“Is this the politics of playground children?” “We’ve got the most incredible weapons in the hands of absolute idiots.” Caller Roger doesn’t hold back in his reaction to US strikes on Iran.

If you’ve got a badge and a gun but think your actions are shameful enough to need a mask, you should quit.

Overflow crowd at Cary, NC #NoKings rally.

Someone apparently has the CHRONOS gene. 🙂
