I thought this was a lovely story and it made me tear up thinking about the before times. apple.news/AJGzF4RnNTQO...

Yes. Well this is what Rev. William Barber has been saying on loop.

Not sure if the math holds up. I’ve done no fact checking- but this certainly just feels true.

I lost my beloved cat Maggie the day after the inauguration this year and together with the dystopia we all knew was coming I nearly broke by April. Nevertheless, life does move on and I have this kindly gentleman now to love on. And NJ was not captured by MAGA. So hope is alive.

It often feels every thing we learn is more difficult to bear than what preceded it. This is a troubling piece that must be read. Please become a paid subscriber if you can.

I’ve seen reports of other Washington municipalities declaring a state of emergency related to the ICE abductions. This feels like a humane community reaction to what’s happening. www.salemreporter.com/2025/12/01/s...

Someone from Nebraska should make an album called New Jersey

Today the Supreme Court granted review in an important case for the outcome of the 2026 elections. At stake is the fate of tens or even hundreds of thousands of mail-in ballots.

Hello, New Jersey! There’s a lot at stake in this election, and I’m here tonight to talk about why @mikiesherrill.bsky.social should be your next Governor. Watch live:

Christian churches should lose tax exempt status if they refuse to act Christlike

On Monday @newjerseyoag.bsky.social sued Amazon for misclassifying Flex drivers & depriving them of rights. Today @newjerseyoag.bsky.social sued Amazon for pregnancy & disability discrimination. This is how you do it. This is how action-oriented states protect people from corporate abuse. 🔥

I think we should all stop pointing out the generals who look to be wearing WTF expressions. These may be the good guys and Trump will fire them.

After our intervention this morning in Pennsylvania and our new lawsuit tonight in Nevada, this is now 57 voting and election cases in 25 states. I am still expecting at least 4 more this week.

If Antifa were a real group, you’d be able to buy merch.

We thought the social fabric was coming apart in 1968, too. You cannot think clearly or act wisely or strategically through the fog of a highly charged moment. Too often we have the experience and miss the meaning.

God have mercy on the United States.

This feels very ominous to me insofar as the capture of our professional military. www.forbes.com/sites/tylerr...

They keep losing in court because everything they’re doing is illegal

This Labor Day (and all other days): Thank the workers who serve you. Appreciate the workers who care for you. Respect the workers who pick up your trash. Salute the workers who get you your mail. Honor the workers who teach your children. Pay all workers a living wage.

Turns out some of the “we want small government” people kiiiinda wanted the government to be just one guy.

The United States government is run by fucking monsters.

Having seen absolutely no evidence that there is a coordinated defense plan by Democratic leadership/the professional military, I have a terrible fear that the American people are completely on our own. Guess I’d hoped meetings were being held and strategies developed behind-the-scenes.

Am I missing something? Where are the Democratic leaders?

Yes. Yes, you are.

Unreal. And the tone of this piece is “business as usual”. apple.news/Ab-y5pV3URw-...

Can’t wait for the American version of the Nuremberg trials.

At this point they could announce that Ghislaine Maxwell is being put in charge of labor statistics and I wouldn’t even be surprised

We need to disabuse ourselves of the fantasy that we can somewhere right the ship with elections. The sooner we do the sooner we can move past the collective grief and get on to the revolution part.

Well this resonates. apple.news/ABReoblUpS_q...

There is no difference between this moment and all the others we see in the rearview mirror of history and look back upon in disgust. Our complacency is the same. Our apathy is the same. Our silence is the same. Our culpability is the same. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/the-ice-at...

Yesterday, Maurene Comey, who prosecuted the Epstein case, was summarily fired from SDNY. Her letter to colleagues pulls no punches. "Fear is the tool of a tyrant, wielded to suppress independent thought." h/t @msnbc.com

He is so starry-eyed it’s embarrassing.
