Fuck the reflecting pool. This has not gotten nearly enough coverage or generated the proper outrage. People thrown in prison for 30-50 years for the "crime" ofmaking zines and belonging to a book club!! This is straight-up totalitarian atrocity. Political prisoners thrown in a gulag to rot.

Heather Cox Richardson is encouraging people to make the call. "Flood the zone." @hcrichardson.bsky.social Capitol Switchboard: 202-224-3121

“A growing share of Americans who are killed—one in ten—are dying at the hands of police.”

Could not agree more! Not only did Hillary beat the Orange Atrocity by 2.8 MILLION votes, but Al Gore got 543,895 MORE votes than Bush! The Electoral College allows candidates who received less votes to win the presidency. ABOLISH THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

The congressional switchboard number is (202) 224-3121. Put it in your cell phone. Use it. If you're not calling at least once a week, you're not doing your part.

I need y’all to remember this: Trump gets to keep Air Force One. It cost taxpayers nearly $1 billion to upgrade, and before he leaves office, ownership transfers to the Trump Presidential Library Foundation, which he himself said is “most likely going to be a hotel.”

Who could have predicted this? 🤷🏻‍♂️

“Since the start of President Donald Trump’s second term, four people have died while in Adelanto, and a fifth person died shortly after being transferred from the facility” “Private prison companies have seen a major increase in revenue in Trump’s second term” truthout.org/articles/hun...

Congress isn’t powerless in this dangerous moment. Email your elected officials and urge them to hold the line to block more funding for Trump’s illegal war, stop funding Israel’s military, and keep voting on War Powers Resolutions.

If you’re in town, come on down!

If sexual abuse was really considered a terrible thing, the world's richest and most powerful people wouldn't be abusers. The most valued technology wouldn't produce sexual abuse on demand. And allegations of abuse wouldn't be framed as positive depictions of masculinity. Our culture rewards abuse.

Scott Pelley says Bari Weiss told him to lie about the killing Renee Good. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/06/07/m...

We quite literally have a whites only refugee program and somehow the media won’t call the Administration white supremacists.

Here’s ten widely wanted social benefits that most Americans cannot get bc…ICE.

Hey influencers, 🤢, It might look really cute to have your cat in a hammock as you drive around, but please think about what’s going to happen if you get in an accident. If you simply must take your cat anywhere, put the cat in the damn carrier.

Periodic reminder that Teapot Dome, the worst scandal in American history prior to Watergate, involved $9 million changing hands. That’s adjusted for inflation. This story by itself is 55500% bigger than Teapot Dome. That’s not a typo.

Contact your Members of Congress TODAY and urge them to take immediate action to demand dignity for immigrants, and be in solidarity with the people in detention on hunger strike. Senate: indivisible.org/actions/tell... House: indivisible.org/actions/dema...

Yesterday, the Senate voted to approve $70 billion for ICE and CBP. But the House has the power to stop it. Congress must reject this bill and refuse to pour more money into terrorizing communities while women and families are struggling to afford food, care, and basic needs. Call Congress now⤵️

If you intend to watch the live stream of my interview with Bryan Fuller, and I hope you do, please note ticket sales end at 9pm PT on 6/5. Live stream 1pm PT Saturday 6/6. #StarTrek #PushingDaisies #Hannibal #AmericanGods

52 senators voted in favor of allocating an additional $70 billion to fuel ICE and Border Patrol's campaign of chaos and violence in our communities without any reforms. The House of Representatives must reject this bill and any attempts to give ICE more money to violate our rights.

Was this an illegal attempt by DOGE to weaponize Social Security to carry out Trump’s cruel immigration agenda? I'm fighting back.

Live your life in such a way that when you die, quiet people come out of the woodwork to testify to how incredibly kind you were. Be like Anthony Head & Luke Perry.

An elderly distant relative was like, "But aren't the streamers making more TV shows & so that's more jobs?" It's much shorter seasons, w/ fewer writers, years apart. AND b/c streaming's driven by new subscriptions, not views, they have more motivation to launch new shows than renew existing ones.

NEWS: A @lawfaremedia.org report finds that *97* Jan. 6ers who received clemency for their role in the attack were arrested, charged, or convicted of subsequent crimes—a number much higher than previously reported. Incredible work by @katherinepomps.bsky.social www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-...

Every reporter who ever wrote a sentence on Biden’s decline or fitness for office should be legally required to explain why they’re not covering this shit. Every. Single. One.

The fact is that the most correct observation anyone can make about US politics over the previous decade is that voting for Hillary Clinton would have fixed literally everything you’re currently suffering from, and you only think this isn’t the case because of misogyny

I've spent the last 8 years of my professional book critic career focusing my efforts on YA books by and about queer/trans and BIPOC experiences, and I have also noticed the decrease in these stories being published. It's incredibly dispiriting, as a queer Black adult and as a high school librarian.

Bernie Sanders and Ilhan Omar have introduced a new bill that would: • Provide free breakfast, lunch, dinner and a snack to every student • Eradicate school meal debt for every public school student • Incentivize schools to buy from local farms sanders.senate.gov

Corruption in plain sight. It will take a decade to fix this debacle. #TrumpCorruption

Any news orgs digging into claims in the Epstein Files that our current president allegedly raped a 13-year-old girl? Did we forget about that?

Hey CA, have you sent in your ballot yet? I did. Remember: • Not registered? CA offers same-day voter registration through June 2 for eligible citizens. • Not sure who to pick? Look for trusted endorsements. • Use an official ballot drop box, don't rely on the USPS. #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #Pinks

BREAKING: California will impose a 100% tax on payments distributed from Trump’s Jan. 6th “slush fund.”

Researchers found that older adults who voted had a 45% lower mortality risk five years after voting compared with nonvoters.

Getting ready!

Again, please share. In every aspect of American history you will run smack dab into the critical contributions of Black people. It’s not Black history. It’s American history. Trying to erase it is a fool’s errand. We live it every day. time.com/5836444/blac...

The only thing I have to say is volunteer. It doesn’t matter what you do, it matters that you do something.

BREAKING: Trump's DOJ — negotiating with itself — may hand Trump $10 billion of YOUR money from his IRS lawsuit We need to shout this grift from the rooftops -- Trump has already raked in billions on the side Now he wants taxpayers to fund his retribution campaign too ... Why? -TN

Republicans are going to make taxpayers pay for Trump’s ballroom. All Trump’s claims over 16 months that “donors” were going to pay for it was always a lie and just another con. You will pay for it.

ICE brutally detains U.S. citizen mother & leaves 2 little kids in backseat. "I was shouting: I'm a citizen! I have my children in the car—9 year old girl and 1 year old boy!" She was held hours before being released, despite proving she was a U.S. citizen. Incident occurred in Asbury Park, NJ.

In news that absolutely everyone predicted…

The shooter at the press gala has been arrested and charged for an unsuccessful assassination attempt. Meanwhile, we know exactly who murdered Renee Good and Alex Pretti four months ago. They've never faced anything like an investigation, much less arrest.

I want to live in a country where: - the president isn‘t a fascist - the political media don’t collaborate with fascism - political violence and mass shootings aren’t a regular occurrence - there is a democratic method to depose the head of state if they’re a corrupt, demented pedo
