To Donald Trump: Stop using military troops and ICE to invade and disrupt American cities. Stop calling your political opponents “enemies” of the US. Stop attacking the 1st Amendment. Our troops and our nation deserve better than you acting as a petty tyrant.

Donald Trump should listen to Donald Trump. He owns this shutdown.

The South Korean Ministry of Defense has awarded medals of merit to 11 officers for disobeying direct orders of superiors during the martial law fiasco, orders that they deemed to be contrary to the constitution and endangerment to democracy. www.chosun.com/english/nati...

Ossoff: "We have a president who's completely out of control, a crook engaged in unprecedented corruption, who's passing one of the most unpopular agendas in history. The public is turning against him. The opposition is motivated. We can win & we have to win, but we don't have the luxury of despair"

The last political column I was allowed to write in the @washingtonpost.com was a criticism of Obama. His people took issue with my piece, but we were respectful. Now he is tweeting in support of me. This is how free political speech and respect for debate *actually works*. Or used to work.

So I wrote a book about how young men get radicalized online and what you can do about it: www.routledge.com/How-to-Talk-...

Dear Religious People, Maybe it’s time to start thinking seriously about living by love and not the sword. — Jesus, 2000 years ago

Dems are apparently "looking for a platform" when the answer is right there: Stop running away from thing that actually help people. Food, housing, healthcare, no genocides, everyone's rights and bodily autonomy protected, a livable world, and all of those things viciously, deftly defended, always.

"A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people." —The Declaration of Independence

Attorney General Bondi sent me a letter last week. It purports to notify me that Washington state “has been identified” as a “so-called sanctuary jurisdiction” — on grounds that her letter makes no effort whatsoever to explain.

Did you know that for $5/month, you can get PBS Passport, a service that unlocks the vastness of the @pbs.org libraries? Feed your mind while you help PBS stay on the air.

The point is that we can wrap our anti-fascism in the stars and stripes. And we should.

America is beautiful, contradictory, unfinished. I am proud of our country even as we constantly strive to make it better, to protect and deepen our democracy, to fulfill its promise for each and every person who calls it home. Happy Independence Day. No Kings in America.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Once again the correct response to this is to immediately push for a huge amnesty bill. If farm, hotel, and restaurant workers are so vital to the country that even donald trump can admit it, they should all be getting green cards now

Obama is the best of ‘em!

I think it would be good to get some women in charge of the countries that have nuclear weapons. Women talk to each other. Women can be reasonable. Enough with the macho men and swinging dicks.

As a four-decade veteran of the daily journalism business, let me tell you: Every competent political reporter in this country knows that Trump is trying to establish a dictatorship. The industry's shame is that so few journalists will say so, and the ones who do lose their jobs.

As the old joke goes, an American diplomat and Soviet diplomat met up, and the American says "I really admire your country's propaganda." The Soviet says, "True, it is good, but it is nothing compared to American propaganda." The American, confused, responds "We don't have propaganda."

If your business model doesn’t work without breaking the law, then you’re not in business. You’re in organized crime.

‘They say, We leave you our deaths. Give them their meaning.’ —Archibald MacLeish Remembering the fallen this Memorial Day, we can consider our own duty to strive so that our lives and our country are worthy of the price they paid.

There's nothing holy about writing discrimination into the law.

IT IS NOT AN IMMIGRATION CASE

Know what all the moms in your life really want? Bodily autonomy Parental leave Affordable childcare Equal pay Paid sick time Safe schools And more sleep You’ve got 364 days.

The new Pope isn't anti-MAGA. MAGA is anti-Jesus.

Impossible to communicate to people that once you decide that a group more vulnerable than you can be sacrificed in the name of your own safety or interests that you have already entered into an tacit agreement that you can also be sacrificed in the interests of a group less vulnerable than you.

Your School House Rock moment......

BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: Sen. Elizabeth Warren just exposed a crypto scam where Trump and his family stand to make more than $60,000,000 from a $2 billion Saudi-Binance deal, where the purchase will use Trump’s coin. This MUST be exposed.

When the topic is women the conflict is that women are failing society. When the topic is men it's that society is failing them.

*checking in on horse racing* “Sovereignty outduels Journalism” well that’s a little on the nose, guys

If he’s speaking, he’s manipulating. What a terrible mistake we have made.

Yay let’s go! More of this pls

The loss of Virginia Guiffre really hurts. Sometimes survivors ultimately don’t survive, and so many people forget or never even realize how much harder trauma makes absolutely everything, including healing from other physical trauma and all the emotional wounds that always heal so slow.

On being called DEI and why it isn’t the burn they think it is

You know who actually has an anti-Christian bias? The Christian nationalists.

BREAKING: we won! A federal judge has enjoined the administration's shut down of Voice of America Another success for the Constitution and for us @sddaction.bsky.social & our many wonderful partners & clients More details to follow--stay tuned!

“It's hypocrisy to call yourself a Christian and chase away a refugee or someone seeking help, someone who is hungry or thirsty, toss out someone who is in need of my help. If I say I am Christian, but do these things, I'm a hypocrite." -Pope Francis

Reminder: If a president has immunity for official actions and swears an oath to uphold the Constitution then violating the Constitution can't be construed to be an official action and as a consequence the president does not have immunity to protect him from prosecution for such actions.

Anyone debating or analyzing Kilmar Abrego Garcia's life or record is doing a grave disservice. He could be El Chapo. He could be Charles Manson. He could be the Dalai Lama. It doesn't matter. What has happened to him and others is clearly a violation of America's core laws and principles.

Why is anyone using deportation language around what happened to Abrego Garcia? He was imprisoned? When we deport people do they always go to jail afterwards? Deportation is one thing (that I’m not arguing for here) But imprisonment without due process seems like a whole other thing.

Guys, I love all of you, but the answer to RFK, Jr. is not that autistic adults hold jobs, pay taxes, and get laid, it's that everyone deserves to live even if they can't work, pay taxes, or get laid.

Hi, I’m autistic and I’m the mayor of my city.

The immigrant/migrant/minority nexus should be an easy one for ALL Christians to navigate: Every person is made in the image of God. Thus, every person bears the image of Christ. Now, how should a Christian treat Christ? Hint: Not the way Caesar treats Christ.

Ambassador Spock modeling the proper “fuck you, make me” response to intimidation tactics. Our current-day institutions could learn a lot from him.
