Unfortunately, there wasn’t room for Bizarro Les Miserables, featuring DJT as Jean Valjean.

The rumpus…

Just a reminder about No Kings being a peaceful protest. Here is one tactic to remember if things get a little squirrelly. We have the right to gather peacefully! We have the right to express our without govt censorship. #NoKings #FirstAmendent

When Noem returns to DC from her three hour tour/photo op and tells Trump that the Governor of Oregon and the Mayor of Portland are covering up terrorist activity (similar to assertions that Portland police are colluding with Antifa), it’s like the upside down of Stranger Things has come to life.

I frequently call the GOP a “lie-based” political party. The lie changes minute to minute. But the lying is utterly, dreadfully consistent.

If we don’t test for Covid…

DOGE was a failure because its entire premise was flawed, and, on top of that, the people who ran and implemented it were both arrogant and ignorant.

A wholesome and much needed TL cleanser.

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

LITERAL GOLD. Thank you for making this, @colbertlateshow.bsky.social.

Schiff on the Bolton raid: "They're essentially going after any critic, any opposition in an effort to intimidate them. That's what this is about. It's not about Bolton per se. It's about anyone else that like Bolton might stand up to the president."

#ResistanceEarth #BlueEarth The Big Ugly Bill could be devastating to the planet as well as people. In their quest to reduce spending to give tax cuts to the rich and mollify Dear Leader, Repubs are looking to slash tax credits and funding for climate and clean energy. www.cfr.org/article/what...

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

Sure, let’s dissect the mental and physical acuity of the former president who sought to make lives in America better while minimizing the reality of a deranged arsonist dismantling the country we’ve known and loved. What a failure to meet this moment.

I’m pleased to learn that YLE is posting on Bluesky, along with her regular updates via her excellent newsletter.

😵

Truth be told, this was happening before. @Valeria Luiselli wrote about it in 2017. It wasn't okay then either.

I highly recommend Fiona Hill’s book There is Nothing for You Here, both for its autobiographical content and for her description of Trump’s extortion attempt on Ukraine during his first term.

we need to be saying again and again and again that even if 100% of these people had a criminal record none of this would be okay. people who are criminalized are humans and deserve human rights. people are systematically criminalized based solely on the color of their skin, poverty, language etc

I still can’t figure out when “we can deport you” turned into “we can put you in a hell hole prison in a third country, indefinitely, with no legal recourse.”

Here’s at least one example of not giving in. 🙌

Trump has the worst record with executive orders in US history because they are illegitimate, absurd or illegal. His executive orders are a construct of his hate fueled, dementia fantasy world. There is no “Judicial over-reach” when the courts overrule him- just the law and common sense.

If our VP had the integrity to speak truth, he wouldn’t be our VP. Honesty & integrity were not the qualities 47 was looking for when picking his administration.

They're terrorizing our federal employees in real ways and the impact is devastating for all of us. I spoke to a VA employee and FBI Agent about what they're experiencing and it will shock you. This is the most important thing I've written. Please read and share. open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

New, from me: Trump is whitewashing American history, removing not just people, but also the stories, images, and values to anyone who does not conform to his impoverished vision of America. Here is a partial inventory. 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/whitewashi...

Representation of these people mattered because their stories had historically not been featured. Erasing them is not a return to some bygone era of color-blind merit, but of blindness to the contribution of anyone who did not fit Trump’s whitewashed vision of America. bsky.app/profile/did:...

Mine in today’s @newyorker.com

What is he hawking today?

Being against genocide in Palestine does not mean supporting Hamas. Caring about starving Palestinians is a humanitarian stance, not an endorsement of terrorism. Protesting for human rights in Gaza is not antisemitic.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Love this idea! I live in Washington state and would definitely make this my first ever vanity plate.

Unoriginal, hatred fueled garbage people just keep on repeating bullshit over and over and we need to not forget.

In light of everything happening, I wrote about how the KKK in the 1920s felt unstoppable, about the people that fought against them anyway, and about how fascism always fails. dansinker.com/posts/202…

Worst. Episode. EVER.

I’m grateful for @joycewhitevance.bsky.social’s clear voice and vision (and I hope her own backyard chickens are safe!).

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

And on the theme of diversity and inclusion. This quote resonated with me. Diversity is a fact. Whether it is race, sexual orientation, age, gender or so many more. But being inclusive is an act. We have to commit to it. Sleep well my friends. 🫶🏽

It was not an "unprecedented victory" nor a "historical mandate." Only a third of the electorate voted for Trump, and they did not vote for Project 2025. More people chose not to vote at all than voted for him. He won by only 1.5% or around 2M votes. We must shatter this myth of the "mandate."

The average Fox News viewer has no idea that Musk is tearing down a system that allowed this country to rule the world for the past 75 years. And when their standard of living slips dramatically in the next five years they still won’t understand because their TV will blame it on some poor scapegoat.
