It’s absolutely the right call and fucking surreal that our public schools have to close because of the threat posed by OUR OWN FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. I am beyond livid.

For months, Trump’s DHS has wreaked lawless havoc in our neighborhoods. Tear gassing infants, families, and police. Firing their weapons at peaceful citizens. Killing innocent people. It’s brutal, unconstitutional, and out of control. It must stop. Kristi Noem must go. Now.

I refuse to stay silent while Secretary Noem breaks the rule of law and terrorizes our communities. I am introducing Articles of Impeachment against her for violating the public trust, obstructing Congress, and self-dealing. Read my full statement: robinkelly.house.gov/media-center...

As it turns out, now is a very good time for the governor of Minnesota to not have to give a flying fuck about statewide reelection.

Democrats cannot vote for a DHS budget that doesn’t restrain the growing lawlessness of this agency.

may she rest in peace. may her loved ones be cherished and protected. may there be justice.

I’m following news of a reported shooting of a legal observer by ICE agents in South Minneapolis. I’ll continue to monitor the situation closely and will update as soon as I receive information. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities and leave our city.

1/Leaders are abducted/allies are threatened but pundits and governments are scratching their heads on what the US is doing. Danish PM on Greenland "It makes absolutely no sense". Why? Because actors using old IR models when we need a new lens. Enter neo-royalism. abcnews.go.com/Internationa...

I am jumping out of int'l law retirement to offer some thoughts on Maduro's immunity under int'l and US law. 1) There is little doubt that trying Maduro is a breach of customary international law. As Venezuela's head of state, he enjoys absolute immunity (one can be a HoS de jure or de facto)

4) As @fishkin.bsky.social has been intimating, this is all very difficult to square with Trump v. US. Why would an ex-US President enjoy broader immunity in US courts than a sitting foreign head of state? And why would courts defer to the current President on the latter but not the former?

thoughts and prayers for the DoJ team now trying to get around state immunity

I guess these are the “precedented” times we asked for

During Fiona Hill's testimony to Congress on Oct 14, 2019, she described how Trump and Putin discussed exchanging Ukraine for Venezuela. The quid pro quo was if Trump refuses to help Ukraine fight off a Russian invasion, Putin would not help Venezuela (a Russian ally) resist a US takeover.

NYT: At least 40 people were killed in the US attack on Venezuela, including military personnel and civilians.

My statement on President Trump’s actions in Venezuela.

organizing a protest against u.s. imperialism in Montreal. Please show up! j’organise une manif contre l’impérialisme états-unien à Montréal. Venez! organizando una protesta contra el impérialisme estadounidense en Montréal.¡Vamos!

If this doesn't come with a UNGA Uniting for Peace resolution and global condemnation then the prohibition on the use of force is finished and the UN will go the way of the League of Nations. Ask the international lawyers in your life how they are because right now I wish I weren't 10 years sober

The work continues, the work endures, the work, my friends, has only just begin. Thank you - Mamdani's closing remarks.

South African Freedom Charter cited by the new Mayor of New York City

"There will be Palestinian New Yorkers in Bay Ridge who will no longer have to contend with a politics of universalism and then makes them the exception" receives ovation.

okay I admit that I like this

hope is a practice - and a duty! happy new year.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO HORSES! IT IS HORSE BIRTHDAY! HORSE!!!!!

Walking into 2026 like…

100% agree!

i hope everyone is having a lovely end of december. this is your annual reminder that if you use Signal (for anything, but especially if you have relied on it for organizing work) or Wikipedia, it would be just grand to send them a donation. Infrastructure matters!

LOL they redacted the files so ineptly that you can basically read them with a little effort? Please let this be true.

Canadian TV network bravely airs dissidents’ report on U.S. abuses after political commissar orders its suppression

The 60 Minutes piece on the Trump Administration’s torture prison that Bari Weiss doesn’t want you to see has leaked.

If you VPN into Canada you can watch the 60 Minutes CECOT story here (for now). Global TV appears to have posted the original tape by accident watch.globaltv.com/series/2893d...

BREAKING: Judge James Boasberg rules for those deported under the Alien Enemies Act on March 15 — certifying a class, finding the U.S. maintained constructive custody over them at CECOT, finding they were not given due process, and ordering return or that such process be given by Jan. 5, 2026.

Hi all: reupping my perennial call for indexing and editing clients for Spring / Summer 2026. It might be my last year doing this work, so get it while it's hot! Email at [email protected] for rate and availability. Feel free to share!

Other things found to cause radar interference include the judiciary, Black people, impossible burgers, NPR, immigrants, people who are rude to me in restaurants, being banned from seeing my grandchildren, Black people again, free and fair elections, and people who refuse to follow me on Twitter.

CBS paid the president of the United States millions in bribe money and now they censor news reports so it does not annoy him. I don’t know how much plainer we can put this.

There is a tremendous opportunity for a brand new generation of media outlets to rise up right now because many news outlets that spent decades painstakingly building their credibility are seeing it torched by bootlickers with incredible speed.

"how can someone not at least find it interesting watching a whole planet shift geological ages in the blink of an eye?" Hear, hear!

all my love to all the survivors of sexual abuse and child abuse. i hope you can stay offline and receive the respect, cherishing, and care of your loved ones.

Amazing call / is this real life

leave the kids alone. if you really have to meddle in kids' lives, try keeping the bullets away from them.

the children are always ours, every single one of them.

i am here for this level of outrage

A million Muslims live in New York City. We belong here, as does every other New Yorker. This is vile Islamophobia from the Councilwoman and it has no place in our city.

GAZA IS DROWNING IN RAIN WATER AND THEY ARE ALL IN TENTS AND ISRAEL IS STILL FIRING ON PEOPLE AND THIS ISN'T A MAJOR NEWS STORY BECAUSE OF RACISM

Just a reminder that at least 600 Americans were fired for failing to show sufficient respect after Charlie Kirk's murder.

Don’t need to tell anyone who has a mind that the United States of America being run by a convicted felon is not what our founding fathers imagined. I’m now joining the fight to help correct that.

This entire weekend

At my university we found that an obscure accounting decision was leading to overprojected deficits that justified austerity while channeling money into capital projects at the same time as admin was laying off teaching and research support staff. The uproar shifted $5 million back into operating.
