For @rollingstone.com, I wrote about the making of the myth of sheriff Buford Pusser, and how recent revelations that he was likely responsible for the 1967 murder of his wife, Pauline, undercuts that myth -- and begs for a new narrative about intimate partner violence and family trauma.

these days you learn something new and horrible every 5 seconds

In two Florida State Legislative special elections tonight, we are seeing big double-digit Democratic over performances to accompany tonight's huge win in Miami. The wave continues to build, even in Florida.

If you haven’t read her book I strongly suggest you read it

Thank you to the first responders who subdued the suspect that shot two National Guard members earlier today. It’s an awful thing for a family to learn a loved one was shot while receiving mixed reports of their well being.

We can not look away. We can not forgive them. We have to fight them - non violently and with everything we have.

Help us send @aftynbehn.bsky.social to Congress. Vote against MAGA!

#BlueskyResistance #Voices4Victory #ProudBlue Would you have stood up?

This is me at 15. I’m a child. I’m a CHILD.

Democrat and former North Carolina Governor @roycoopernc.bsky.social is running for U.S. Senate. His governing expertise and history of fighting for the Middle Class makes him an excellent fit for U.S. Senate #LiveBlue #ResistanceUnited #ONEV1

Add him to the list. Kennedy, Ginsburg, Biden, Gerry Connelly... Any hope at a positive legacy is ruined by not knowing when to get off the stage.

Thanks to you, we now need just $3,658 to reach our $10,000 fundraising goal. Donate here now: gofund.me/b22ab715f

CALL THEM NOW INFURIATING I AM CALLING MY SENATOR MARK KELLY NOW Tell YOUR SENATOR DO NOT CAVE

Nov 9, 1938 For 48 hours, rioters destroyed hundreds of synagogues, desecrated Jewish cemeteries, ransacked, & looted some 7,500 Jewish businesses. Shards of glass littered the streets. Synagogues burned throughout the night. Police arrested the victims & firefighters were ordered not to intervene.

Dems voting on this are cowards and need to be removed!

"The American Holodomor" that's what Republicans are engineering.

Abby Zwerner has been awarded $10M in her civil suit against the vice principal who ignored multiple reports that a student had a gun. Abby deserves more, but the verdict is an important precedent, especially since the school’s lawyer called getting shot a “hazard of the job” for teachers.

I'm changing my W-4 withholding to keep my money from financing these thieves.

One of my students asked to take home an extra breakfast for her mom and an extra lunch for her dad, in case you’re wondering how the loss of SNAP benefits is affecting kids.

Sen. Slotkin: “The president and Secretary Hegseth are refusing to tell the American people who we are fighting…I think it's safe to say that the American people deserve to know who we are at war with, especially if people are being killed in our name.”

One Portland coffee ahop has raised $86K and counting for SNAP recipients www.tiktok.com/t/ZTMXveDQE/

A gang of ICE thugs just rolled into Chinatown, arresting street vendors on Canal Street who’ve been there for decades—they sent in an armored tank and masked agents with weapons to confront New Yorkers as protests grew in response. Angry about this? Join our HandsOffNYC.com mass call 10/29 at 7pm.

Really hate that whenever I'm in a crowded public place like a rally I can't stop thinking about a van plowing through the crowd or a mass shooter lighting up 50 people. Well despite my broken brain, was just at a no kings rally for a few mins. Felt some pride followed instantly by ptsd paranoia.

In a coordinated move, multiple federal agencies joined BlueSky yesterday and turned to trolling the opposition. Our Assessment on Democratic Decline warns of this autocratic practice: attacking the free press and narrowing the space in which factual reporting can safely operate without retaliation.

Y'all are amazing. Keep blocking!

Watching Rachel Maddow's documentary on civil right's legend Andrew Young is firing me up for tomorrow's peaceful No Kings rally.

Three incumbents, one challenging a Repub, all four worthy Democrats who need our support to win their seats in the Virginia House of Delegates: ☑️ Marcia Price, District 85 ☑️ Virgil Thornton Sr., District 86 ☑️ Jeion Ward, District 87 ☑️ Don Scott, District 88 Get ready to vote on Nov. 4!

Odd, how Laura Loomer has to speculate about what Hell must be like, whereas anyone who has ever had to spend time with her does not.

The Nazis' use of plenary power and the Enabling Act allowed them to seize absolute authority by exploiting a crisis and manipulating the legal system. This "legal revolution" provided a veneer of legitimacy to the establishment of the Third Reich.

Trump called Americans 'vermin', but this playbook flips the narrative—calls the shutdown the American Firewall against fascism. The key? Releasing Epstein files, ending the healthcare theft and the tariffs. Are you in? https://americanmanifesto.news/the-shadow-comms-brief

What Walters did to push right-wing ideology onto students and attack educators was counter to the safe and welcoming schools all students deserve–so local businesses in Oklahoma celebrated his resignation! okcfox.com/news/local/l...

The Aftermath. Clutching his mother’s hand, a bewildered child cries “Papa. Papa. Papa”. In a matter of seconds, families shattered, hopes betrayed, trust breached, hearts broken. As a family leaves the court hearing, a father is grabbed by masked and armed ICE agents.

I called Speaker Mike Johnson's office saying he needs to immediately swear in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva (D-Ariz.). The aide hung up on me! WOW!

Good Sunday Morning ✌🏽 The Big JC has few words that resonate with those of us that are intelligent……..and don’t let religious leaders control us. #SheShed

If irony were deadly, every Republican would expire right now. The party that has spent years in performative histrionics decrying the evils of supposed “Cancel Culture” is now literally cancelling culture... johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/the-republ...

Remember Nory and her mom Estela? Here’s the devastating update. ICE took Estela’s blood pressure meds when they deported her. She was too afraid to leave home for refills because the same gangs that beat her in Guatemala were still waiting. She died at 45 because she didn’t have her medication.

Let us all strive to be Todd Beamer and the folks on the flight who sacrificed themselves for the greater good. May we all try to think about our fellow human beings.

If you’ve seen the horrific video of Charlie Kirk’s murder, you now have an idea of the damage done to the children killed in all the various school shootings we tolerate. What happened to Kirk, happened to those children too.

An informant for a hoax? They really know how dumb their base is.

This is another example of colonialism‼️ Destroy / erase / ignore history‼️

Humanity A system that rips fathers from their families in immigration court is not justice; it’s cruelty. People can only take so much before heartbreak turns into resistance.

Expats still have to pay US taxes if they are still US citizens. Do the GOP mongrels not know that? This bill would literally go against this country’s foundational principle of no taxation without representation. What is fucking wrong with these people?
