I've never called Vance a Nazi. Nazis were 20th century German fascists. Vance is a 21st century American fascist. There are differences.

What Trump is doing with, among other agencies, the DOJ, is precisely what got Nixon impeached and why he resigned at the urging of principled Republicans. History repeating itself, by orders of magnitude. We didn't learn a goddamned thing.

A lot of the commentators who deride Bluesky as a smaller or less active platform than X are totally clueless about how power on the internet works, which is also how they lost it to the alt-right. Internet culture fractured a while back. Niche spaces are actually the way to grow

This is exactly problem, presented to us by the national treasure that is Megyn Kelly: They really do NOT care. At all. They don't care about the damage they're doing to innocent people, and they don't care about their own naked corruption and criminality. 'WE DO NOT CARE.' Believe them.

Oh my God, this. THIS. The psychic toll of a monumentally repugnant idiotic sociopath BEING in public life and in a position of such consequential power, consuming our head space, media time, conversations, arguments, thoughts. The infliction of trauma, in real time, 24/7, year after year.

This commentary offers a clear, powerful statement of why freedom of speech is at the heart of democracy and must be defended, whether the speaker is Charlie Kirk or Jimmy Kimmel, MAGA supporters or MAGA opponents.

I ask myself this question daily, Don. You're absolutely right; the answer is very apparent.

I'm not asking people to stop talking about Kimmel or the coming repression tied to their latest martyr project—all of this is important. I am just saying, can we work in more discussion of our neighbors being hunted and protesters being gassed, beaten, and shot with pepper balls in Chicagoland?

They'll blame it on Hillary's emails or some fucking thing.

There is no capital "L," monolithic and cohesive "left" in the United States, certainly not one with any real power.

Every day, I find myself wishing that our new book, Read This When Things Fall Apart: Letters to Organizers in Crisis, was already out in the world, because I think it could really help people right now. Preorders really make all the difference in terms of helping a book become widely available.

'Involuntary lethal injection' is how FOX News host Brian Kilmeade proposes dealing with the homeless. 'Just kill them.' He. Was. Not. Joking. Listen to him. He's absolutely serious. You think they won't build death camps? You think they'll stop with the homeless?

"Involuntary"

He's trying to move the Overton Window to make killing society's "unwanted," "undesirable" and "other" normal. If he's saying this shit out loud, imagine what Trump and Miller are cooking up. Meanwhile: Democrats are concerned.

I bet Trump's people are furious with that kid's family for turning him in. If the shooter wasn't a leftist, they didn't actually want to catch him.

all the bountiful fruits of autumn in the forest #autumn #art #artcollectors #collectart

I was hoping someone would put something like this together. Trump can fuck all the way off. Stay out of Portland, stay out of our whole damn state.

A society circling the drain ...

Anybody have equipment to enhance on that police badge so we know who he is? Police Brutality gettin out of hand! #portland #oregon

Blessed be Seattle! ✊🏼🌲

The Kennedy curse is now basically a curse on us all.

A society at the end of its rope ...

Given the scorched earth path of destruction RFK Jr. has left through the nation's public health infrastructure, "panic" is probably an appropriate word choice. TB has a 50 percent fatality rate. Remember MAGA, you wanted this. Good luck.

RFK Jr. is torching trust in public health. Remove him—or fence him in. 5 minutes. No fluff. Watch clip, full link here youtu.be/NGjfoaMoSVs?...

This week, I talk to @dreanyc123.bsky.social about the role of criminalization in authoritarianism and fascism—and why we need more outlaws, and less confusion about what the law protects and who it targets.

Imagine the intellectual calibre of a political movement for whom the astounding ignorance and stupidity of Robert Kennedy Jr. is not a liability, but a virtue.

I’ve seen enough. Impeach Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

Kennedy is truly a singular event in the history of idiocy in American politics. I will spend the rest of life trying to wrap my head around the fact that someone so transparently and absurdly fucking stupid is in charge of the nation's health.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is a fucking idiot.

Make Measles Great Again, so what if people die from diseases virtually eradicated decades go? Free-DUM!!!

They're like 1 - Astoundingly fucking stupid, and 2 - In charge. 🤬

Ruminating on the difference in Trump's stupidity from Kennedy's stupidity. Stupid comes in a variety of flavors. Discuss.

Wondering if Trump's moll will bring back blood red Christmas trees this year. 🤔

Stephen Miller is smart enough to know that Kennedy is NOT, in fact, "one of the world's most foremost experts on public health." He isn't even in the top 1,000. They know the Overton window has shifted into the next dimension and they can say whatever the fuck they want, no matter how ridiculous.

there is no question in my mind that rfk jr is the most dangerous person in this administration and that his eugenicist ideology threatens the lives of millions of people www.advocate.com/politics/dem...

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

More of this ... a lot more.

I cannot imagine what it must be like right now to be a scientist, transgender soldier or officer, a principled FBI agent and so many others watching the institutions they serve on behalf of the American people be gutted by an infantile, fascist pig.

It’s clear that the main goal of the Maxwell interview was to get her to say that she didn’t see Trump do anything wrong. Which can only mean that there is something in the files that suggests that he did. Why else would she need to say that? The interview is more incriminating, not less.

Exactly ... there's a case to be made for the argument that the reason he ran in the first place was because he was angry that Obama roasted him (at some White House event), thus making people laugh at him.

I think this story makes a very good point that far right extremists have gotten everything they ever wanted. However, I think it would also be important to add that just because something is mainstream should not make it acceptable. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/23/u...

They’re both so simply happy. 😍 #bluesky #dog #dogday

NRA continues to maintain radio silence.

Fun fact: There are 12,000+ species of grass on the planet. I'll bet he couldn't even identify the species used on golf courses.

Let's donate the hell out of this. Right this minute nothing matters more.

Russia just bombed -- BOMBED -- an American manufacturing plant in Ukraine. An AMERICAN facility. That actually happened. How will Trump react? All-caps bluster, lies, perhaps feigned and/or genuine ignorance. He is Putin's bitch, and he knows it.

Just a heads up that @haymarketbooks.org's summer sale ends Friday. You can currently get 40% off all books, including my book with @prisonculture.bsky.social, Let This Radicalize You.
