Sigh. Everyday I feel compelled that trying to enforce purity in a big tent party is a fools errand. It’s about moving the ball towards the goal, and first and foremost opposing fascism. Don’t throw away an ally because you differ in one thing when the other side would be happy to see you dead.

The meritocracy and the media that normalizes it.

AOC: "If the Government shuts down, they are going to act like it wasn't their decision; it is their decision."

Finland proposes to remove veto power by countries in UN voting. And proposes that if a country violates UN charter and resolutions, their voting rights are suspended. GREAT IDEAS!!!! www.tiktok.com/t/ZTMYQUwf1/

Ron Brownstein: “Do we want to live in a country where the president can, in effect, order the Justice Department to find a crime for someone who he dislikes or disfavors? It was the Head of Stalin’s Secret Police who famously said: ‘Give me the man and I will find the crime.’”

LTC Brandon Salter commands 2nd Battalion, 7th Marines, 1st Marine Division. He’s in charge of the USMC troops that deployed into LA. I will not forget his name; in fact, I have it in a file. Many other vets and I will be advocating strongly for his court-martial at a future point.

Here’s some encouraging news. I just got my COVID shot at local pharmacy. They said they have been slammed with ppl wanting flu & Covid. I live in the reddest of red areas in my very red state. Pharmacist said ppl aren’t believing the news from RFKjr.

I want the world to read these numbers about the night attack Ukrainian Air Force downed or jammed 611 russian drones and missiles out of 643: • 566 drones out of 593 • 2 jet-propelled drones • 35 Kh-101 missiles out of 38 • 8 Kalibr missiles • 0 Kinzhal missiles out of 2 The main target was Kyiv

Remember, the same government deploying masked agents to kidnap people off the streets and disappear them to foreign countries without due process demands you not call them fascist…or else.

Where is the media broadcast live from the various corners of Portland showing that it is not, in fact, war ravaged? Are they still afraid to cross donnie after the Kimmel fight? Oh, and that. War is not what it used to be. Kimmel was a battle and we won that because we stood together, strong.

“Fascism is a political system built on control, fear, and loyalty to a strong leader. Fascism attacks democracy.” A quick primer on fascism and anti-fascism:

California just made it legal for doctors to mail abortion pills anonymously—protecting providers from legal harassment while ensuring access. Meanwhile, other states are criminalizing the same care. Thank you, @cagovernornewsom.bsky.social for leading by example.

Are we winning yet?

Indie director Barbara Marques has been kidnapped by ICE. She is legally married to a U.S. citizen & was at a green card mtg when she was abducted and prevented from seeing her lawyer. Her husband Tucker May does not know where she is. Please spread the word so he can find her /1

Jesus Christ, how are you so unbelievably bad at this? A deeply unpopular president is recklessly destroying our government, wrecking our democracy, covering up pedophilia and now threatening to use military force against our own citizens but you're tsk-tsking about protecting healthcare?

Systems leak. We’ve seen this time and again, someone always wants to share the tea, be “in the know”, if only for that reason, to feel important. Yet, life has not leaked. I’ve not read, and maybe I’ve missed, but I’ve not heard of a single leak. These men really, really like terrorizing people.

🔊Show Clip: Melania’s “heroic” escalator moment

Ya'll really, really need to remember what your parents told you when you used to use dial-up AOL: don't believe what you see on the internet. Information should be evaluated in three components: source, content, and cost. So many of you fail to consider source and cost.

To everyone in Portland and Chicago, thank you. Thank you for resisting. For fighting back. For showing up for your immigrant communities. Please stay safe tonight. Abolish ICE.

Well 🤔

An extended discussion about the changes filed against James Comey youtube.com/watch?v=JSAA...

The main reason Revenge Dump's in office again and not in prison where he belongs is cos Mitch McConnell violated his oath of office and didn't lead the Senate to vote for impeachment. Thanks Mitch that decision will haunt you to your grave and as long as there's still recorded history afterwards.

There is absolutely zero need for this costly show of militarized force in Portland. 📌 Armored vehicles with federal agents arrived at the federal building in Portland.

“First we break their legs, then we sell them the crutches.”

I feel very strongly that we must use the next three years to build a new opposition movement. I tried to lay out my reasons and what I think we need to do to make it happen. Please watch, comment, and share. youtu.be/_GUgnpAYMCc

I don’t want to have to wear glasses just to avoid walking into a fucking wall, but I do. Why the almighty fuck would I want to wear them all the time just to use my phone.

Has anyone collected the vile statements congressional Republicans have made calling for the murder, assault, deportation and/or imprisonment of their colleagues? Seems like there’s a lot of this coming straight from the GOP but the nation is more focused on ordinary liberals on social media.

"It's absurd to think that … the government of the United States that [the people] pay for, that they vote for, is really in service of one man. ... He is using every arm of the government to create pleasure for himself … and also to seek vengeance upon his enemies."

I’m disgusted at how some media outlets are reporting trumps assault on Portland, “full force necessary”, as if it is somehow with the range of normal operations in a western democracy and not increasing evidence that the US has fallen to a dictator.

Bitter old man sits up and posts a grudge against a US city on the burn book app he owns. Then sends troops to instigate confrontations to get more content for his followers. Today, it's Portland. Tomorrow, any town.

I now know I’ve never truly lived. At least not until now when I recently heard Ring of Fire performed German Schlager style. Mein Gott, es war toll! I’m sorry, what? I can’t hear you, the ice picks are blocking all sound from entering my ears.

This regime is going to do anything they can to foil the 2026 midterms, including flooding the streets with ICE and cops. That means, and I underscore this, WHITE PEOPLE EVERYWHERE need to step up and help ensure that Black and Brown voters can get to the polls without fear. E.V.E.R.Y.W.H.E.R.E

Trump says he’s authorized Hegseth to use “Full Force” against Antifa in “War ravaged” Portland

Folks, I don’t know about you, but I’m NOT shooting up chicken p. Hard fucking pass.

I present to you the acting US Attorney of the Eastern District of Virginia. In addition to overseeing the prosecution of James Comey, Lindsey Halligan will also oversee a slew of national security cases due to the fact that her district covers the Pentagon, CIA, and NSA. (H/T @atrupar.com)

🚨 Privileged people, like myself, have a responsibility now more than ever. The escalation of hate and violence requires more than posts on an echo chamber. What can we do? Don’t make her file a police report! When you see this happen — YOU call the police and report it! Gotaprilshowers from IG 1/2

It’s hard to convey the insanity of a thirty-something White House staffer getting an interim US Attorney appointment and marching into the grand jury room alone four days later to indict the former Deputy Attorney General and Director of the FBI

After Ilhan Omar & I discussed Charlie Kirk’s assassination, that both of us condemned, conservatives screenshotted an unrelated part of the convo where we were momentarily smiling & ridiculously claimed we were ‘celebrating’ his death. It’s an easy enough, & very cynical, trick to play. 🤷🏽‍♂️

“Are you fucking kidding me” Truer words have never been spoken.

SAD!!

I’m contemplating the usefulness I’m seeing from the folks blaming Obama for not “fixing” things, when trump is running rampant over our democracy. Obama is a private citizen, he has no power to “fix” anything. Blaming Obama ONLY serves to direct in attention away from trump, fascist in chief.

No one is coming to save us from the oligarchs. The Armed Forces Shindig next week is terrifying. We need to stop giving them our money. Buy Local. Shop Costco instead of @m@z0n. Join a credit union and use their credit cards. Or pay cash. Only We People can stop this.

DOJ has sued 8 states for protecting their citizens' sensitive voter registration data. My law firm has intervened to oppose DOJ's efforts in the first two states -- Maine and Oregon. Six more to go...
