No words. Renee Good was alive and suffering from gunshot wounds while her killers not only did not help her but prevented others from helping. Appalling violation of fundamental decency, rules of war (!), and humanitarian principles. #ReneeGood

While the pasty incels who work the federal agencies continue to churn out feeble, bloodless AI pastiches of Axis propaganda, here’s how a living breathing artist powerfully invokes design history. This is by illustrator Emily K in South Philly, a free poster-sized download on her website: →

Why tech oligarchs want Greenland: to create a tech dystopia without regulatory oversight. by Casey Michel, author of the forthcoming book 'United States of Oligarchy: How America’s Wealthiest Ally with Dictators, Weaken the U.S., and Destroy Democracy' #DefendDemocracy #HandsOffOurEU🇪🇺

Folks in the US still like to treat the whole Greenland invasion stuff as sufficiently unserious to engage with, but it is sufficiently serious that NATO allies are actively deploying tripwire forces to deter the US. That is *already* a political and actual cost to them, and to US relationships

New YouGov poll finds a majority of Americans believe ICE agent Jonathan Ross should be charged for killing Renee Good. Despite repeated lies from the Trump administration, Americans watched the videos and are demanding accountability.

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

Funny. But not.

Thousands marched in downtown Columbus while we held the line at our weekly #TeslaTakedown in memory of #ReneeGood. Her murder and its cover-up is an outrage. I hope Good’s wife and family take some from the millions of us who are with them. #CrushICE

This is awful. These two women, married and raising a child, got out in the streets to bear witness, and one was slaughtered by an agent of the government in an act of witless evil. Renee Nichole Good and her wife are heroes. What an awful, evil loss 🏳️‍🌈💔😡

sorry here's the link. FWIW Daily Mail is generally not great, but one thing they do excel at is tabloid-style "finding out where people live and who they're married to" stuff www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

Columbus, Ohio tonight. There was one counter protester and the police made him leave. #vigil #ice #reneeGood

Here’s the link to the statement on the website of the Danish government. This is good: stm.dk/statsministe...

It’s genuinely wild that the United States spent decades building an elaborate rules-based international order which de facto cemented its permanent status as the dominant global hegemon, sustained by ideology rather than might, and now is just blowing it all up for literally no reason

US seems to have no plan to deal w/ powerful Venezuelan security forces, who can threaten/thwart political leaders if they comply w/ US demands. Authoritarian politics 101 & major reason US approach could lead to military escalation and/or civil conflict. www.wsj.com/world/americ...

It’s all show. By next week they’ll have moved on to something else. The whole operation was a PR stunt; there are no longer term goals, nothing they want to coerce VZ to do. This is such a stupid timeline.

Trump’s no-guardrails foreign policy raises big questions about the global order, not just about who will run Venezuela. So, what happens now? @profsaunders.bsky.social breaks down five key points you need to know. Read: goodauthority.org/news/what-ha...

Very clear Trump’s capture of Venezuela is not about regime change, democracy, or freedom - and not even what’s good for the US. It’s about personal power and wealth for Trump and his cronies. Very much waiting for the Venezuelan - and American - democratic opposition to respond.

Protest in #Columbus today against Trump’s thuggish attack on #Venezuela. There are millions across the US and the world who oppose this - we stand in solidarity with the people in Venezuela and their freedom 💪

❤️❤️❤️

Woke up still shocked by this. What Trump did yesterday in Venezuela isn’t just illegal or unconstitutional - it was wrong, misguided, boneheaded, dangerous. Venezuela belongs to the people that live there, and I hope they rise up and tell Trump to fuck off.

Okay here’s an actual take: the fascist international is at war with the very concept of legitimacy.

We have to remove Trump from office. It's that simple. We won't make it through another year of this. I want to win the midterms, but I also want them to happen. And this just isn't sustainable.

Members of Congress: stop posting online and APPEAR, PHYSICALLY on the steps of the Capitol to decry this unconstitutional violation of domestic & international law. SHOW THE PEOPLE the level of danger we are facing as a country. @housedemocrats.bsky.social @senatedemocrats.bsky.social

As an American, I’m disgusted and appalled by Trump’s outrageous attack on Venezuela. May the people there rise up and reject the replacement of one tyrant by another. Europe: It’s time to step up and lead the Free World. Trump must go!

Oh for cryin’ out loud

There is no question that Ramaswamy is right about the principle: American citizenship does not come in tiers, and racial bigotry should be condemned, full stop. The problem is he's a phony and a hypocrite. @kaivanshroff.bsky.social on Vivek Ramaswamy: lnk.thebulwark.com/3L3RH6Z

The last four words are also important here. The USAID cuts should primarily be seen as a eugenicist project. Elon Musk and the far right, generally, believe that foreign aid is a part of the Great Replacement.

My article in @theprogressivemag.bsky.social is now online. It's much more personal than my usual work, an acknowledgement of how much we've lost and what I see as the only path forward. Is next year America's 250th anniversary or year one? That's up to us. progressive.org/magazine/aft...
