You love to see it.

remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature

Today was a good day.

Don't do any of this.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."  -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

Genuine Question because I Do not understand… so if these men roll up in plain clothes and masks, grab a human being… even a child, and throw them in an unmarked vehicle I am just supposed to look the other way and say nothing ?? Ask Nothing ?

Maybe now he’ll cave again and declare that we need farm workers, hospitality workers AND soccer/football fans?

These big cities turned out!!! ❤️ But so did gajillions of folks in small cities and small towns! ❤️ So many people!!! ❤️

i want you all to look at how it works when the Times *wants* a story at the forefront of the conversation. then i want you to compare it to how they've addressed the destruction of the federal government and rising fascism.

Finally!!!

Spending a lot of time these days with my 91.5 yo mom who has mostly stopped eating. I’ll take joy where I find it. Here’s a pic I took today from the back porch of the pottery studio. He was about 10-15 feet away.

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

Criminals deserve due process because due process is literally how we determine whether someone is, *in fact*, a criminal

This is terrifying but it does offer an explanation for some confusing behavior on the part of currently powerful people.

Brilliant 4-essay series on economics and climate. Strongly recommend. She does a great job of making the case against economics built on unlimited growth.

Before folks overreact to headlines about the judge’s ruling in the Khalil case, please note that (1) it was an immigration judge (IJ), not a federal district court; and (2) the IJ had no power to consider Khalil’s constitutional objections. This particular decision was a fait accompli.

there's a fundamental asymmetry at play...and it leads people to say dems can't get anything done. its HARD to build things, to create something. its relatively easy to just tear down the world. as we are seeing vividly displayed

“If you want someone to wake up slowly, give them an education. “If you want someone to wake up quickly, take their money.”

Well, one man and his toadies and sycophants.

I mean, it FELT like the main one … it wasn’t?

And the attempts at disparagement are predictable and boring.

The Tillers’ exuberant bluegrass version of Woody Guthrie’s “All You Fascists Bound To Lose” has been our SiriusXM show’s opening theme since January 20th. It’s also one of the rare non-punk covers of this particular song.

YOU ONLY HAVE TWO WEEKS!!! That was the part I missed when I first saw the ruling. NC voters, and people who love them, PLEASE check this list for the names of folks you know and get confirmed with the Board of Elections! Thank you 🙏❤️

Let’s celebrate the courageous among us 👇

“I love that line, ‘citizens are not subjects.’ We are not here to be ruled. But nor are we a ‘hateful mob.’ We are ‘upright, fair, peaceful, and rational,’ even when our government fails to be.”

Local tv reports 7000 people at the HandsOff! Asheville protest yesterday. Well done, friends! wlos.com/news/local/t...

Talking to six-year-old today, who said he was going to the protest. Me: will you have a sign? Him: yeah. Me: what will it say? Him: “Donald Trump, get outta here!” #handsoff #AVL #Asheville

Remember the task now is to disseminate the images of the protests to people who didn’t see them and project a sense of their size and significance. Huge numbers of people turned out today, let’s make their dedication count!

Fun finding all these protests in places I’ve lived 😎🤗

Alt text for protest images missing them nationwide: literally thousands of people across all demographics outside, sometimes in weather, in pretty much any city you can think of, standing up for *gestures broadly* and standing against *gestures broadly again*

Good protestin’, everybody!

One more pic from today #handsoff #handsoffAVL #handsoffAsheville #Asheville #AVL #WNC

There are eight (8) voters named Jackson from Buncombe County on this list, for example.

I often give MSM headline-writers/editors a hard time on framing of political news. So now a note of compliment to hed-writers + photo and layout editors who put together today's WSJ print front page. (h/t @jorgeguajardo.bsky.social ) If Dickens or Dreiser were writing this, would seem overdone

Just got to the Mall and saw this sign, which no one is going to top. #HandsOff2025

Asheville doing it right. #handsoff2025 #handsoffAsheville #handsoffAVL #handsoff

Maaaannnn, Soros is going to go broke!

Asheville/ WNC showed up!!! Gazillions of people on Pack Square Park. #HandsOff2025 My sign’s not clever. My fave said: “Must our decline & fall be so STUPID?”””

Military chiefs from most NATO and EU countries met in Paris yesterday to discuss new security arrangements. The US wasn’t invited. It was a closed door meeting and there’s been no announcement of outcome but with both Australia and Japan in attendance we seem to be seeing a new alliance forming.

Holy cow. This is VERY well done. This is what Team Fight looks like.

NEW: White House says the arrest and deportation of student activist & legal US resident, Mahmoud Khalil, is a blueprint for more. The final line here is chilling. The White House specifically says Khalil was not breaking the law. No evidence, no due process, no crime. He was just disappeared.

Science!

If you < love ❤️ 🇺🇸America >, what does that mean to you? The people? The land? The Constitution & laws? The economic system? To what do you hold allegiance?
