So as you know, I am having surgery next month, and I filed motions for continuances in my cases as a result. Most of them were granted. Of those, about half gave me less time than I asked for. Three were outright denied.

Dec. 10, 1925: An explosion kills 53 coal miners at the start of their shift at the Overton Mine No. 2 outside Birmingham, Ala. The blast caused by the ignition of dust takes a disproportionate toll—44 dead—on Black workers who are customarily given the most dangerous jobs. 1/3

I wrote a story about how easy it is to make accessibility accommodations happen, and yet, how somehow impossible? for people? to offer??? If you're in full fury over the discourse, come and get some catharsis at: www.diabolicalplots.com/dp-fiction-1...

The president is a political cartoon of corruption come to life, a gaudy grifter who is selling off pardons and lining his pockets, building a golden ballroom and protecting his fellow sex predator elites, all the while regular Americans are suffering and struggling to make ends meet. Run on *that*

You know, I'm not sure I ever really read the Pond Rules at our local nature preserve all that closely before

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw. The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired. If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

This should be the biggest news story in the world right now

Stark warning from Mississippi's Republican Insurance Commissioner: “I don’t know where America’s headed, but we've got to redefine how we address health insurance and health care in this country. If not, we will not have health care in the state of Mississippi in some areas, especially the Delta.”

it's monday morning, I'm afraid we all know what that means www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

This is absolutely wild. I’m on a cross country flight. We are being diverted midway through to Denver. The reason? Some dude is sitting in the exit row who didn’t pay the $155 fee and he refuses to move back to his seat.

So cool that whenever someone asks the president, “did you eat the Lindbergh baby” he’s like, “no but I’d be allowed to, I have the right to, I might do it later”

As long as the loudest folks on the left insist tone-policing, compromise on human rights, and acquiescence are our only options for a unified country, they will continue to lose the faith of the marginalized. And even when they win, they’ll just be waiting to lose the same way again.

I am once again calling on state governors to mobilize their National Guards to escort congressmembers into ICE facilities so they can DO THEIR LAWFULLY ASSIGNED FEDERAL DUTIES

Serious question: has the Fed govt ever arrested so many elected officials in such a short period of time, across multiple cities, and not for legit corruption reasons? This seems like a distinct degree of anti-democratic escalation.

Always wonderful to bump into my old friend Daniel Radcliffe!

it’s nosferatu but with muppets: thread

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".

Federal agents conducted a surprise raid at a snack bar manufacturer in Cato, New York, taking away dozens of workers.

Oil companies in Texas requested permission to burn off or release more than 195 billion cubic feet of natural gas per year — enough to power more than 3 million homes and generate millions in tax revenue had the gas been captured. W/ @insideclimatenews.org & @texastribune.org

Hundreds of staff at two of California’s most popular national parks have voted to unionize, a move that comes during a troubled summer for the National Park Service. Amid Trump’s onslaught, nearly all voted yes.

The month before a shooter opened fire on children gathered in a Minnesota church this week, the Trump administration cut funding in the state for efforts to identify potential mass shooters and head off their violence. https://cnn.it/4lS986O

The Mesa Gateway Airport is operating a secret detention facility. The facility is meant to hold people for 12-hours. Records show one man was held for 42-days. This is on top of the Avelo deportation flights operating out of Mesa Gateway. Boycott this place into the fucking ground.

Someday we will deeply interrogate the weaponized expectation of gratitude for authority figures who believe you owe them for not killing you YET. It’s like the person holding a blade to your throat being annoyed that you’re complaining about bleeding instead of thanking them for not cutting deeper.

The military vehicle, which is designed to withstand explosive attacks, collided with a "civilian vehicle" just after 6 a.m. on Wednesday in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Washington, D.C.

The DOCTORS are too hungry to provide care. And the world just watches and does nothing.

You mean the FBI arrested her in July 2020 -- and once again, Trump was president in 2020, everyone -- and no one in the FBI or the DOJ ever interviewed her? They *never* interviewed her? What?

So many people I know in the US are emotionally dysregulated (politically, how could you not be?) and their relationships are paying the price. It’s tough to watch so many of us take it out on each other, whether with friends, family, neighbors, coworkers, public figures, comment sections.

Epstein’s "little black book" totals 97 pages, containing 1,571 names and roughly 5,000 phone numbers. At least 38 names are mysteriously circled, including Donald Trump's. “I got my hands on a copy,” writes Leland Nally. “I made close to 2,000 phone calls.” www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

This is Cuzco. He wanted to remind you to breathe. Thought he'd provide a demonstration just in case. 13/10 thank you Cuzco (TT: cuzco.the.golden)

I’ve been thinking a LOT lately about how my political practices and behaviors have changed over the course of 20+ years as a politically engaged adult, ~12 of those as a full-time organizer. It’s been helpful to start to distill some lessons learned, just for my own reflection and growth.
