Proud papa moment: my son J published a letter in the @nytimes.com today (in print tomorrow) on the need to think our definitions of autism.

Benny Johnson is a well known plagiarist, grifter, & Christian nationalist who was being paid by Russia - to the tune of well over a $100,000 a month - to push Russian propaganda on the American people - the perfect bio for a MAGA influencer. We no longer have a Justice Department.👇

We must now start calling this what it is: Trump’s Invasion. It started with federal agents, it will soon include deploying federalized members of the Illinois National Guard against our wishes, and it will now involve sending in another state’s military troops.

like, i don't really know how to adequately express the anger that i feel watching this video. not showing your face, lazily teargassing random people on a neighborhood street without getting out of your car - the image says more about these goons than i could articulate bsky.app/profile/clan...

An “immigration judge” is not an actual judge in the judicial branch. They are a DOJ employee. As Judge Young, an actual judge, made clear in one of the truly essential parts of his Tuesday ruling. www.lawdork.com/p/judge-will...

"Rodrick Johnson, 67, is one of many residents who were detained by federal agents during the South Shore raid. A U.S. citizen, he said agents broke through his door and dragged him out in zip ties."

I'm not a political genius, but I'm pretty sure the party that published a 600-page manifesto on how they want to shut down the federal government are the ones who shut down the federal government.

NEVER FORGET:The LOOMING shutdown is creating mass INSTABILITY to the ACA Marketplaces. Costs WILL skyrocket. BUT, ALSO don't forget that the Trump & GOP BBB ALREADY caused PREMIUM increases for Medicare & Private Insurance. By NOT extending ACA Tax Subsidies MILLIONS of Americans will be UNINSURED!

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it? If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say? Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

There have been 6 mass shootings in the USA over the past 24 hours. The casualty count stands at 41. Here’s the President of the United States of America.

Taken just a few minutes ago outside the ICE facility in Portland that Trump claims is under siege. My message to Donald Trump is this: we don’t need you here. Stay the hell out of our city.

You are allowed to commit vast, sprawling crime if you pay Trump enough.

David Rose, the police officer and Afghanistan veteran with a wife and 2 small children, was murdered by a white, right wing extremist man a month ago over antivaccine conspiracies pushed by RFK Jr. and this administration. He did not get recognition from political leaders or even much news coverage

Next time someone on the right claims all the political violence in this country is coming from the left, not the right, do please show them this. You're welcome

BREAKING: As the Trump Administration continues its attacks on public health and science, I've directed DHS take every action to ensure Wisconsinites can access safe, effective vaccines to help keep themselves and their families safe. More here ⬇️ content.govdelivery.com/accounts/WIGOV…

Hi ICE killed a single dad at a traffic stop here on Friday Today they are disappearing people again in broad daylight, they are everywhere If you have any national platform at all Chicago is fucking begging you, please help us

The fallout from the Trump administration's baffling decision to antagonize South Korea is going to be substantial. Per Evan Feigenbaum: "The US now at risk of losing Korean investment, which reached $76.7 billion in 2023." www.kedglobal.com/business-pol...

I don't think a lot of people realize or know people who were on the receiving end of death threats for over a decade because of Turning Point USA. They made a watch list of professors that made them targets for not only hate mail but death threats. That's Charlie Kirk's legacy.

Here’s a story that’s becoming all too common: federal immigration agents using racial and ethnic profiling as a rationale for stopping, questioning and detaining U.S. citizens who they suspect are undocumented.

While we're all discussing how it's wrong to murder someone, let's not forget this:

Heads of the FBI, about six weeks ago: Hey, y’know Mehtab Syed, the special agent in charge of the Salt Lake City branch? Let’s force her out of that position, even though she’s experienced and decorated. I’m sure we won’t need to have anyone experienced to head up that division anytime soon.

To put this into context, the judicial warrant for the search at the Hyundai plant named just four people. Relying on that warrant, ICE detained nearly 500 people. DHS admitted that included U.S. citizens, permanent residents, and people lawfully here on visas.

Icing on the cake here: This insane rebrand could cost US taxpayers billions of dollars. A beautiful new logo! Signage! And think of all the new uniforms they’ll need to make for America’s WARRIORS.

I think that it’s bad that the Secretary of Defense is openly trashing the concept of legality regarding military operations.

More women have nearly bled to death during miscarriage under Texas’ abortion ban. Experts say the trend paints a troubling picture of the harms of unnecessary delays in care. “This is striking,” one doctor said. “The trend is very clear.” (Published July)

Congratulations to the whole team! Exciting recognition for a fantastic group of colleagues and collaborators.

Besides the weird claim about electricity that he should've learned in third grade, there's also the lie that it would take that many panels. You can power the whole global population with a tiny fraction Earth's surface covered in panels. These people are running our government.

Reminder: Most mass shootings are carried out by cisgender men.

Rubio has denied Palestinian diplomats visas to attend the UN meeting claiming "terrorism"—but grants access to Israeli officials despite undeniable evidence of war crimes, genocide, famine, bombing Christians, & child sexual abuse & prisoner rape by IDF soldiers. This is what fascism looks like.

Trump did this

“The claim that trans people are disproportionately responsible for mass violence in America comes up every few months. It has never been true.” USA Today fact check from their extremism beat reporter www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...

Trump’s EPA is continuing its illegal retaliation against employees for telling the truth in defense of our planet and the nation. We stand with these brave employees in their fight against this retaliation. #zeldin #epa #declarationofdissent

Seems bad

NEW figures show that 61,226 people are currently in ICE detention — the highest number ever in US history. According to ICE data, 70% of these people have no criminal conviction.

I'm gonna be tabling at this event! I'll have prints of photos and comics! Come see, come see!

“You risked your life out here to save the community,” the firefighter said. “This is how they treat us.”

Cost of Trump's D.C. Occupation: $1.1M per day. Cost to operate public housing for D.C.'s entire homeless population: $169,226 per day. It's not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

Trump signed an Executive Order seeking to criminalize flag burning, which the late justice (who was a terror) once said was the kind of speech that ”tyrants would seek to suppress.” www.jezebel.com/trump-bans-b...

I’ve seen so many people spreading the misinformation that PBS is shut down or is shutting down. The Corporation for Public Broadcasting has been shut down and PBS has been defunded. HOWEVER!!! PBS still exists. It is more important now than ever that you donate to PBS if you can.

how many trans kids, queer kids, abused kids won’t have the know how or resources to find a workaround? every proposed “won’t someone please think of the children online” age verification bills is carte blanche for tyrannical governments & abusive parents to isolate whoever they deem undesirable.
