I don't get the determination to make Columbus relevant to US history. He never set foot on US soil. He "discovered" a place where millions of people lived and vikings and Irish fishermen knew about. He thought he visited India until his deathbed. His contemporaries considered him a violent weirdo.

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces. This is truly terrifying.

‘The rush to deport children in the middle of the night on a holiday weekend, in apparent violation of the law, looked a great deal like the administration’s removal of undocumented immigrants from Venezuela to the notorious terrorist CECOT prison in El Salvador in March.’

Collier: I refused to sign and so I was told that I was gonna have to stay here on the floor. They have locked the doors. The sergeants have been instructed not to allow me to leave until I have a permission slip.

We can’t lose sight of the damage SCOTUS is doing to our democracy. With Republicans in control of Congress and the White House, we must continue to build support for expansion, term limits and an enforceable code of ethics, @rachelrossi.bsky.social writes.

GOOD TWEET. GOOD MOOD. FIGHT.

Pragmatic progressives — armed with bread-and-butter proposals to improve the lives of ordinary Americans and an upbeat message of hope — are the future of the Democratic Party. This is a good thing. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/bread-and-butter-and-hope

We too often feel helpless and hopeless. That’s what they want, they thrive in chaos. But here is a reminder: 250 years of America, and our generation will not be the one that fails her. Period. And in the rear view, it will seem worth it. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/video-remi...

It's become clear that this administration is just a protracted war on anybody who's read a book without pictures in it. It's a miracle we're all still getting up and going to work every morning. The psychological drain is the point, and I'm increasingly grateful to the people who are still decent.

Biblical verses now appear in Homeland Security videos. Not as comfort, but as justification. What happens when government no longer argues its case—but sanctifies it? The line between conscience and control is vanishing. #Democracy #Authoritarianism #PoliticalTheology #SacredPower #ChurchAndState
