The arc of the moral universe bends toward justice — but only if we pull it that way. Nothing is inevitable. We have to make it happen.

Literally the authoritarian playbook: 1. Call your opponents terrorists. 2. Deploy state power against them. There's nothing subtle or confusing or complex about what's happening. The *outcome* is uncertain but the authoritarianism is right out in the open.

OBAMA: It's fair to say that 80% of the world's problems involve old men hanging on who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won't let go. They build pyramids, and they put their names on everything. They get very anxious about it.

Ok. They’ve pissed me off. I’m back to tell you 3 things about ID cards: 1. Migrants ALREADY HAVE biometric ID cards & govts have been trying to digitise them for years w repeated fuckups & failures causing complete chaos - they don’t work, you do not want that system for you.

President Obama' mic stopped working a few times as he spoke at the O2 in London this week, and I couldn't help but notice that he didn't call for anyone to be fired over it.

I miss my 50-year streak of not knowing who the Secretary of Health is or anything about them.

Being attacked by Reform is a sign you are doing something GOOD. Do not appease the far right!

Dictator shit.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

@adambonica.bsky.social is onto something incredibly important here. Parties that should be doing the hard work of democratic engagement and mobilization are just becoming spam and grift operations. Yet democracy depends on political parties. We need better parties.

"I don't know you, but I'm proud you're my neighbour".

kudos to @adamserwer.bsky.social who wrote the piece that gets at the core of what's been happening over the last ten months. regular people are standing up, at real risk. elites are folding like cheap umbrellas www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

By no means is this hyperbole 👉

Obama's successor has what he calls a "victim mindset"

How do we resist the rise of oligarch backed far right and extreme nationalism? @lukecooper100.bsky.social writes for the US magazine @thenation.com on Britain’s local MAGA movement and the strategic questions it poses.

We are sensing a theme

This past weekend Londoners got a glimpse of the future of Oxford Street as it went traffic-free for the day. Here’s what they thought ⬇️

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Millennial local leadership will save us all. www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...

"Last time I went after them, they gave me $16 Million Dollars. This one sounds even more lucrative.” Bowing down to a bully never works. And we can’t become numb to this corruption in plain sight.

Attempting to rig elections on his behalf. Turning the military on citizens. Toying with the idea of declaring martial law. Attacking political enemies and punishing those who speak out against his regime. If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?

I am disgusted by Reform UK's threats to people who have built a life in this country. They are coming for our neighbours. They are coming for our colleagues. They are coming for our friends. We are at a dangerous moment. This hatred cannot be appeased. It must be defeated.

"A christian nation"

Many of our members are here via Indefinite Leave to Remain, but we also aren't likely to be the ones most negatively impacted. We stand with migrants.

There are 340 MILLION OF US. Don’t you dare get despondent. STAND UP. And go GET YOUR COUNTRY BACK. Please. Let us not cower. This is all absolutely ridiculous. Come on now.

EXCLUSIVE: Israel is ‘Gaslighting’ Us, Says ‘Andor’ Star After Trip to Occupied West Bank #Trump

Ed Davey, "I'm afraid Nigel Farage should be apologising for helping cause this problem in the first place" "Before Brexit we didn't have a small boats problem because we had 27 return agreements with EU countries and we could return people" -Maybe we should call them Farage's Brexit Boats

Sadiq Khan condemns Nigel Farage's threat to deport hundreds of thousands of Londoners with settled status. “They have legal rights and are our friends, neighbours and colleagues, contributing hugely to our city. “Threatening to deport people living and working here legally is unacceptable.”

We are fast becoming a banana republic, with two standards of justice. If you oppose the leader, you go to jail just for speech. If you're a loyalist, you get immunity for your crimes. That's what happens in Iran - not the United States. This is a decision moment for America.

“It’s time to change the narrative. Tommy Robinson does not represent the majority of Britons. We aren’t afraid. We’re angry. And we won’t be defeated.” The power we need coming from @sangitamyska.bsky.social here www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

"I have spent the last few weeks addressing and preparing for a military invasion by the President of the United States. No, I’m not a soldier or a foreign adversary. I’m the Governor of Illinois"

Crockett: "I'm gonna honor someone who decided they were going to proclaim I was involved in the 'great white replacement'? Yeah, I'm not honoring that ... it's unfortunate more of my colleagues even on my side couldn't see the amount of harm this man was attempting to inflict upon our communities"

I confess I become increasingly irritated with Brits who inform me in what kind of deep trouble my country is in, and how blind we are supposedly to this, at a time when right wing nationalism is surging in Britain and NATO is hanging by a thread. My Friends. We are in the same boat.

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption. Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow. People have power. Ask Target

“Disney is run by human beings. Some of those human beings are cowards. Those cowards don’t want to be named and shamed, and if you do that effectively, they will shift their behavior.” - @ezralevin.bsky.social Cancel fascism and reinstate Kimmel: indivisible.org/government-c...

There goes the First Amendment.

THIS IS THE CROWD THAT HAS KEPT TRUMP OUT OF LONDON

Billy Bragg, "Genocide, that's what we're seeing in Gaza" "We know that one word from President Trump would bring an end to the misery and oppression of people of Gaza" "This is the song I wrote recently for the Global Sumud Flotilla"

Fired up after marching with @indivisiblelondon.bsky.social at the @ukstoptrump.bsky.social London protest this week. Being around so many creative people and their positive energy really does make me braver and more hopeful. #courageiscontagious @indivisible.org @indivisableabroad.bsky.social

This will be called "evidence of consciousness of guilt" in subsequent criminal trials.

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

The need to silence your critics only reveals how weak and fragile you are.

Where the separate divisions of ANTIFA landed on the beaches of Normandy on June 6, 1944:

Can’t believe the CDC. Can’t believe the DoJ. Can’t believe the BLS. Can’t believe the FBI. But I believe in us.

Walz: This is North Korea style stuff. And it's being done because this is a weak, thin skinned man who's failing as a president. All of the things he promised are not happening. It's a it's our most cherished freedom to point out very clearly, this is a terrible president
