Forgive us? We're no more worthy of forgiveness than the Third Reich was. Here's something that was read to Germans in 1945 after they were taken to a concentration camp to witness the atrocities. This is us now :(

Thank goodness Mike Johnson isn't alive to see this.

Wildly unconstitutional

A great read. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Pam Bondi’s portrait was taken down at DOJ and tossed in a trash bin soon after her firing. MS NOW obtained the photo. The move reflects how deeply unpopular she was among career officials. Ken Dilanian & Carol Leonnig scoop www.ms.now/news/pam-bon...

Obama had Iran solved in 2015. Trump threw the win out the window. /cc @museevirtuel.bsky.social

In politics as in dating, it matters who’s got the check

Got approached to sign a petition for a new ballot measure. I asked her who's paying for the campaign and she told me the name of her employer. I said "No, who hired them?". She didn't know. Nope. There's a lot of out-of-state dark money trying to influence your local politics. Ask questions.

This story is insane. Married an American, arrested at her greencard interview, flown out of state, nearly killed multiple times when her diabetes was ignored and then mistreated. When she finally got out? Found out her credit card had been used illegally. www.daylightsandiego.org/san-diego-wo...

"Send This To Your Friend Who Isn't Political" “Here's the thing: we can't do this without you. Which is another way of saying, and I know this sounds harsh, if they win it will be because you stayed home." thegoldenhour.substack.com/p/send-this-...

"I can easily understand why the right has been so successful at messaging. They package tough ideas in bite-sized, repeatable nuggets. Meanwhile, we’re over here writing monologues and policy theses. What if we just said things simply and said them again?" open.substack.com/pub/unfortun...

An odd and interesting strategy: "The White House’s inability to grasp the agency of others — its apparent lack of a theory of mind for everyone outside its walls — gives Democrats, especially, a distinct advantage. They can seize the initiative, knowing the president will struggle to respond. "

I don’t know what to do with this. I’m so flabbergasted. The wrongness is more than my head can hold. criticalresistance.substack.com/p/attending-...

“It’s 1938,” an activist said to me yesterday. An hour before, an introductory call with a new potential collaborator was cut short when they got spooked and disappeared, ghosting me to my face. People are really scared.

This makes me sad. Just overwhelmed by the scale of the destruction. "The Trump administration reached a nearly $1 billion agreement with French energy giant TotalEnergies on Monday to cancel its offshore wind leases off the coasts of New York and North Carolina." www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

I’m noodling on activism projects that can have the biggest impact. There are endless small things that need doing, but which uses of time get the most done?

It is well past time that his unredacted Mueller Report be released. Not the Barr bullshit. Barr covered up more shit than kitty litter -

There’s a guy in my rapid response group who bugs because he’s so paranoid. I get that fear is reasonable, but at a certain point all resistance is risky. You’re making a choice between that risk and the dangers of trumpism.

Oh my fuck

I joined #DSA because it's a place where you have the balls to vote with your heart.

I admire what Jeff Tischauser has done here.

This network map provides a detailed sketch of the structure of Patriot Front in Fall 2021 as group leaders coordinated the destruction of dozens of works of public art that celebrated Black culture, LGBTQ+ pride, or memorialized victims of police violence. 2/

The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled. A truly extraordinary moment. We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. Act like it.

Thank you

Oh so the war’s getting worse, BTW. Israel is invading Lebanon and looks like America is bombing Iraq now. Yep.

Stopping ICE is the issue that is unifying generations of activists young and old. Go Montclair High!

Trump is getting his ass handed to him in Iran. He tried to disappear Ayatollah Khamenei and instead got a younger, stronger Ayatollah Khamenei that hates him even more. He wanted to take the oil and instead stopped oil flowing through Hormuz. And he has no way out without making things worse.

Next scene: Ozymandias throws great clown out the window in his bathrobe

Pretty much everybody is Trump's enemy now, and Iran is Trump’s #1 enemy, which makes them everybody’s #1 enemy of their enemy.

"It is not irrational for a legislature to encourage citizens to appreciate their sex and not become disdainful of their sex" Um what could be more irrational? What conceivable business does the state have in regulating disdain?

Um, so yeah, Trump is a complete idiot. > Iran is exporting more oil through the Strait of Hormuz than before the war, showing it is in control of a strategic waterway that it has closed off to the rest of the region’s oil producers. www.wsj.com/world/middle...

Israel first

Wow -- as first spotted by @BadFoxGraphics on X, Fox & Friends this morning used *old footage of a previous dignified transfer* to mislead their audience about the fact that Trump wore a baseball cap during the one yesterday

"Narcoterrorist" is a nonsense word if you're not talking about drug traffickers threatening gov officials or infiltrating the police or some shit. Running drugs is not inherently political violence, words mean things

Not only are we still murdering people in boats but the military has adopted the political language of the administration. Notice the military called them narco terrorists, which is completely unproved. This language only makes sense in an advocacy context like Fox News.

just remarkable how much the executive class of this country misread a complete cultural shift into a tiny popular vote victory largely based on a backlash to inflation because of their own biases

Democracy died in darkness
