easy call

I… have a few comments.

I’m going to point out how many people I’ve seen in the last year say that we don’t need to worry about 2028, that a corrupt federal government can’t corrupt state-run elections. You’re wrong and it may be fatal to our democracy if you keep being wrong.

lol House Republican leadership just cancelled all votes for the day

I've studied so many concentration camps through history that held vulnerable people in just this kind of crowded squalor. You demonize people, you demand more arrests, this is what you get. It already has its own budget and its own momentum, and is on track to go much further, unless we stop it.

The DNC Resolutions Committee has passed my resolution to hold Trump Administration officials legally accountable for their crimes. Assuming the whole packet passes on Friday, it will become the official position of the national Democratic Party.

I think people should respond this way any time they are asked this question bsky.app/profile/dipl...

Anti-War protest tonight at 6 pm at the White House. Spread the word!

This is a sick civilization. An open call to genocide. It is clear that Gaza is how we got here- tolerating genocide in one space begets another. Generations of our ancestors have worked to build something different, toward the preservation of earthly life. I hope I live to see this re-orientation.

Without public funding for science, this is what we're left with.

You know what’s a really good way to learn to brainstorm, bounce ideas? Read more. No joke, read more. Keep a commonplace book next to you and write down whatever the fuck comes to mind Mind map it. Let the thoughts float in a nebulous cloud above your head. Your brain will pin them down eventually

Can't overstate how dangerous and depressing it is that there's a cottage industry of shameless charlatans who see it as their mission to validate every id-driven obsession, grudge-fueled preoccupation, and long-held bigotry of the racist, senile old grifter we put in the White House.

this is the type of thing that will get me door knocking, phone banking, whatever.

A single vote for Trump in the birthright citizenship case would be as bad as anything the Court has done since Bush v. Gore. This issue has been settled for more than a century. It is the jurisprudential equivalent of asking what 2+2 is. Any answer other than 4, something is deeply, deeply wrong.

the lib canary mission crew still at it, I see

Trans rights are labor rights. Always. ✊🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

What the fuck are we doing here

As the parent of transgender child, I can testify that the standard of care was EXTREMELY CONSERVATIVE even before the recent moral panic. I cannot stress this enough. EXTREMELY CONSERVATIVE. Anyone who says otherwise is completely uninformed or blatantly lying. Period.

these guys love israel so much they wanna bring the IDF here

as an outsider looking in, what this looks like to me is unscrupulous partisans leveraging norms of academic collegiality to do hack work, and then getting the vapors when people point out, correctly, that theirs is hack work

one more time for the people in the back: FIRE is a bad faith actor that gins up free speech panic to safeguard the interests of capital

Fuckin a yes

Hard to see why the Minnesota ICE watching community booted this guy, he’s a 190 IQ genius.

usually Starbucks puts a fig-leaf over their union-busting, but closing some of the busiest and highest revenue stores in Seattle AND telling the workers they can’t transfer to other stores says they’ve given up even aspiring to plausible deniability

Chuck Schumer can remove any one of his caucus from any committee assignment. There is no reason other than Chuck is fine with Fetterman doing exactly this again and again.

When you see the term Zio, remind that person the literal Grand High Wizard of the KKK David Duke coined that term. That if they want to say zionist just use that word. They do not need to use KKK slang. Most people are using Zio thinking it is just a short form and not a literal KKK term.

NEW: Father of service member killed in Iran war said he never told Pete Hegseth to 'finish' the job

The Fourth Amendment was designed to prevent unreasonable search and seizure, but it never imagined a world where corporations are the primary drivers of mass surveillance and governments are just their customers

A little bit of left context. Left labor activists lost their illusions of the man Chavez had become by 1980 — or earlier — long ago. We need movements, not heroes. labornotes.org/blogs/2014/0...

tax him harder and twice on Tuesdays

Support the USPS

Civil Rights icon, @doloreshuerta, made a brave move today, revealing a secret she had been holding for 60 years for the sake of the Farm Workers movement. You can read her letter here: medium.com/@dolores_hue...

Time to repeat these kinds of numbers relentlessly - and have a broader discussion of what the whole $1 trillion defense budget could pay for.

Weird how every journalist writing ‘balanced’ feature stories on this issue turns out to be a deranged conspiracist and ideologue the second you hear them speak off the cuff

as Trump reportedly considers sending ground troops in to open the straight of hormuz, it's worth remembering how much extra, unnecessary danger it puts US troops in to preemptively declare "we will murder soldiers who surrender to us" (which is what "no quarter" means)

ICE agents in Oregon testified under oath that they used a custom-made app to identify neighborhoods and people to target & had daily arrest quotas they sought to meet during operations ✏️ @theguardian.com

albert pujols with glasses has also made me forget his entire career with the angels. to me he now retired in 2012 and this is the first time i've seen him since

yeah, i gotta root for team DR to win this whole WBC. too talented, too cool, it's undeniable

using public office to name and shame evil landlords into submission is so cool. i hope democrats learn from him
