Greta Thunberg & Jane Goodall #JaneGoodall #environment Everyday should be Earth day.

The Democrats should begin building a case for law and order -- for restoring the equal and moral administration of justice. Do it now, as Trump’s power grab reaches a tipping point. Promise to hold accountable anyone tempted to break the law in his name. www.nydailynews.com/2025/09/23/i...

I spoke to a Venezuelan woman who was arrested in this raid and later released with her 4yo son. She said agents broke down their door, pointed guns at them and made sexualized remarks about Venezuelan women. When she returned to her apartment it was boarded up and all her possessions were gone.

ErsinÇelik: They dragged #GretaThunberg by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others Lorenzo D’Agostino: she was wrapped in the Israeli flag and paraded like a trophy www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

the people who told us to calm down because Roe was settled law are the same people now telling us to calm down because the military would never open fire on Americans

We cannot let the myth of American exceptionalism numb us into imagining we are above devolving into inhumanity. We have every ingredient in place to become something historically monstrous. It will happen here unless we refuse to allow it. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/now-that-f...

You're either with ICE or with humanity and democracy. Choose.

FBI wants to talk you about a post on social media you posted about Donald Trump....

@govpritzker.illinois.gov 37 and Kedzie, East Garfield, Illinois. This is assault.

Yesterday, Kristi Noem’s and Greg Bovino’s masked agents threw chemical agents near an elementary school, arrested elected officials exercising their First Amendment rights, and raided a Wal-Mart.

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

The show of force highlighted President Donald Trump's unprecedented use of Border Patrol agents as a surge force in major cities, rerouting personnel who would normally be tasked with guarding America’s borders with Mexico and Canada

Well this settles once and for all that #Xi / #CCP have been puppeteering the #TrumpGrift with #Putin, #MBS & #GCC all along: Junior Spokesmodel #Hegseth bloodthirsty (dept. of) war machine turns blind eye to China and Russia to attack its own #USA citizens. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

The Journalism is not a Crime rally is happening steps from where ICE assaulted a journalist yesterday.

this is wild: while Stephen Miller's guy was in Minnesota for his uncle's funeral, somebody was able to see his entire phone and take pictures of his Signal group chats talking about military deployments to Portland, and brought them to the Strib (gift link: www.startribune.com/trump-offici...)

Goes without saying that this is an illegal order that military commanders are bound to disobey.

"When faced with actual, explicit, documented government censorship—the kind they’ve been breathlessly warning about for years—they have nothing to say. Because this censorship serves their agenda, targets their enemies, and advances their political goals." www.techdirt.com/2025/10/03/d...

“Regional leaders have responded to the bravery and steadfastness that Gaza’s Palestinians have shown with fear, cowardice and self-interest. […] Betrayal is another word that comes to mind.” David Hearst, editor-in-chief of #MiddleEastEye, @middleeasteye-rss.bsky.social youtu.be/qqTiV94SGWk

The endgame for all of this is constructing a military that will obey orders when ordered to fire on citizens. That's the throughline to half of what Trump is doing.

Republicans are simply lying about this, again. They are lying for a reason: 15 million people are going to lose health care because of the Republican tax law signed by Trump. Many millions more are going to see huge health care cost increases very soon thanks to Republicans.

Journalists and congressional staff have asked me what MPD officers think of the federalization shenanigans in DC. If you are reading this, you are an outlier in terms of civic attentiveness. 1/3rd of Americans didn't vote last election. Most officers don't care. Apathy is the slow death of the US.

#Vought and his boss #Thiel continue to desecrate #OMB, Office of Management and Budget, withholding funds from the Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency, or #CIGIE, removing public data that implicates their rampant criminality

I can't use the words I want to say because they are not appropriate, but the woman who wrote this appears to say that female actors shouldn't criticize AI when they spend so much time and money on plastic surgery

“we demand the immediate release of all members of the flotilla, that Israel allow them to break the siege and deliver aid, and the safe return of each and every person to their home countries.” www.leftvoice.org/israel-inter...

The White House is asking nine major universities to commit to President Donald Trump’s political priorities in exchange for more favorable access to federal money. https://to.pbs.org/3IDyV5d

We left Austin (and UT) for personal reasons, not political ones. That said, this story makes me relieved that we got out when we did—and despondent for the future of an amazing institution that played a really important role in my life; and whose students, staff, faculty, and alumni deserve better:

The "compact" is a threat, with the administration explicitly stating that it plans to disfavor universities that don't sign in areas from foreign student visas, student loans, federal contracts as well as grants, and even tax [501(c)(3)] status. It's a maximalist plan of 1st Amendment violation.

In the Network State ideology, social order will be imposed via total surveillance. Curtis Yarvin’s “patchwork” (2008) envisions citizens who must scan into cities and be tracked 24/7. Ellison, along with Yarvin cultists Andreeseen Horowitz, will soon control TikTok. fortune.com/2024/09/17/o...

Yes, but not the beginning. This is Act 2. We only have a few moments to salvage the #ThirdAct. Two radically different visions to choose from. Environmentalists like @billmckibben.bsky.social or The #LeagueOfDictators

I miss the days when the president wasn’t declaring war on our own people.

Bonfire of the Vanities www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Being against fascism is now... illegal in the US? The 400 000 Americans that died fighting fascists in WWII must be spinning in their graves. Unless decent Americans stand up now, there won't be an America to take back in 2028, even if Trump allows for an election to even happen.

Now @us.theguardian.com / @theguardian.com joins the white(supremacist)wash, referring to demagogue Kirk as an “organizer,” deliberately appropriating progressive language to soften the image of an ethnonationalist firebrand.

Finding myself in a reflective mood today, I decided to reread Humberto Eco’s 1995 essay “Ur-Fascism.” Meditating on the definition & essential properties of fascism, Eco identified 14 key features, only one of which is needed “to allow fascism to coagulate around it." It is, perhaps, relevant. 🧵
