One of the most important things you should watch today:

Gonna take you and the queen To a guillotine Somewhere in the heart of town. And when the man is through With what he's gonna do You'll have no place to wear your crown. Alan Sherman, "You went the wrong way old king Louie". 1960s

On #NoKings: in Thomas Paine’s Common Sense (a bit of a slog, to be honest), there’s this passage: …in America the Law is King. For as in absolute governments the King is Law, so in free countries the Law ought to be King; and there ought to be no other. In that context, I like “No Kings”

The entire video is good, but this segment of an Adam Savage video really cuts to the heart of our current conflict: the scarcity mindset. youtu.be/rMtcxaj02mg?...

Timeline cleanse from Hawaii

Good morning. It's been 30 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona's seventh congressional district to represent them in Congress. Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in.

"When toxic wastewater started leaking from dormant oil wells in West Texas, nearby residents were alarmed. A Bloomberg News investigation found that the reasons behind the leaks may jeopardize fossil fuel development across the Permian basin." youtu.be/IgSN8mM6IJM?...

Worth watching , and a refreshingly well-reported story.

Since the “ceasefire,” Netanyahu has killed 100+ Palestinians, has continued to restrict aid into Gaza, banned all UN investigators, & still enforces an international media blackout. And billionaire owned Washington Post runs this pro genocide editorial. Why do you still have a Wash Post sub?

I for one think the Epstein Ballroom will be magnificent. I love the decor theme of “what if Uday Hussein ran a Ramada Inn.” And giving it a theme song everyone will associate with it is a stroke of brilliance! “Thank Heaven for Little Girls” is very catchy.

well i think naming a ballroom after your best friend is something to be celebrated tbh

Speaking truth to power: journalists could take a lesson from this man.

Paired with a column by Ezra Klein about honoring the People‘s House the right way.

I see stuff like this, and I wonder if any kings in history were quite this stupid.

Israel’s expansion into Syria in fulfillment of its goal of “Greater Israel” – a vision endorsed by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that would see Israel conquer not only historic Palestine, but parts of Syria, Egypt, Lebanon, and Jordan as well. zeteo.com/p/greater-is...

Everyone should be in a union, and never cross the picket line. Collective organizing is the *only* way we’ve ever gotten shit done.

A metaphor for what Trump is doing to the country.

We grab random brown people off the street and deport them without due process and with maximum cruelty, so why should our military work any differently?

Prince Andrew sheds his dukedom amid Epstein's shadow and Giuffre's looming memoir, yet clings to royalty's rotten privileges. He hasn't lost the title of pedophile. #PrinceAndrew

You gently run your hand through the rack. You can feel it—pure cotton, rich wool, Irish linen. The plump buttonholes are handsewn; the buttons attached with a firm shank. You flip the price tag over. It's affordable You buy the jacket and go home, which is only 15 mins away. Your apt is $600/month

Now that the final 20 Israeli hostages are free, remember: those claiming violence “began on 10/7” want us to ignore that Israel was forced to free 2,000 Palestinians hostages—some 20 years w/o charge—& 8,000 remain. If Hamas holding 20 is violence—& I agree it is—what is when Israel holds 8,000?🤔

Today we honor the rich history, culture, and resilience of Indigenous communities—past and present. As we recognize Indigenous Peoples’ Day, let’s commit to telling the truth about our history, protecting sacred lands, and fighting for justice that includes everyone. #IndigenousPeoplesDay

Unfortunately, I think this tide will only turn by literally “flooding the zone” with lots of people willing to get beaten and arrested. Think Edmund Pettus Bridge.

This Is Fascism

Thread: A year ago yesterday was a very happy day for me. I had lost my prostate. It was good riddance, as it was riddled with cancer. I’m now cancer-free — and thankful for the tax-funded technology that saved my life.

It’s pronounced cyclist.

That last paragraph: chefs kiss.

OK. It's going to be coming out soon because of the relentless investigations of Pam Bondi and Kash Patel, so I might as well admit it before the news breaks: I am the General Counsel of Antifa.

A billionaire's website has some deals today, BUT on bookshop.org, you can get free shipping on "The Gentle Slope," "We Kill Our Own," and thousands of other great books from other authors. You can also get the ebook of "Tough Messes” for just $2.99, wherever ebooks are sold!

I wouldn’t advise anyone in Portland to walk your dog near this building.

My latest for CaloNews.com/donate Shadow President and man who keeps the mass deportation trains running on time, Stephen Miller, is just fed up with being accurately labeled a fascist and a Nazi. Do not mock his looks, or his height, or the fact that he IS A FASCIST AND A NAZI.

Las Cruces continues to lead when it comes to protecting immigrants, and I’m really grateful for that. Here’s my report on Monday’s City Council vote to stand up for what’s right. /1

It seems clear—I think to everyone, now—that a false and illegal invocation of the Insurrection Act is coming before the end of the year. Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential Treason. State governments should be telling us. Activists should be developing plans.

RELEASE the EPSTEIN FILES now!!! Repost and make it trend again…

I'm sure the NATO countries never considered they'd have to article five a fellow member for declaring war on itself.

Our Secretary of Hate

Fat Man and Little Boy bombed.

Chicago Sun-Times photographer Ashlee Rezin with the photo of the year

If this was happening in the US, Canada, or Europe… well, we know why it’s not being covered. Same reason Whiskey Pete restored Congressional Medals of Honors to men who committed war crimes.

In Canada, ICE is for… https://PeaceLoveCanada.ca

Amid an ongoing wave of conspiracy theories and bogus claims about Jan 6, I’ll note this from our reporting: Rioters made all kinds of claims and defenses in court … and jurors convicted 100% of the defendants who went to trial 100%

"America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves." -Abraham Lincoln

Succinct, and I agree.

Some news from the Portland war front!

So. Good. And I learned yet more American history.
