Unbreaking has been an ideal worrystone / container for my doom-research impulses, and a dream opportunity to work with some of the people I admire most in these internet streets. DM me if you’re curious about joining us or partnering in some way!

I edited together all the social interactions from the Cuomo campaign relaunch video and it became a short film about clinical depression

In case you are looking for a good article from a mainstream outlet that lays out what's actually in the murder bill, I sent this USA today one to my family members: www.usatoday.com/story/graphi... - Most of them said that it was really helpful for them.

Rep. Andy Ogles, a Republican from Tennessee, has sent a letter to Pam Bondi calling for Zohran Mamdani to be stripped of his citizenship and deported.

Comrades, if Zohran wins in Nov, please release a first 100 days Zine IMMEDIATELY. Y'all have our addresses. Hard copies mailed to us & then social media sharing. Lay out the immediate plans, the obstacles to those plans, and CALLS TO ACTION THAT YOU NEED FROM RESIDENTS especially to pressure Hochul

“The argument that many prominent people seem to be making these days is that Mario Cuomo’s son is a bad person but a good executive. I understand that amnesia is very in and chic these days. But this is crazy to me.”— @smathewss.bsky.social

sir a second opportunist governor has done something based bsky.app/profile/rebe...

honestly one of the most encouraging recent developments is the naked opportunism of Governor Gavin Newsom, and I pray that there are copycats www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

If anyone present for ICE activity in **public spaces** can be accused of "obstructing," as Brad Lander is here, isn't the legal implication that no one can witness, protest, or document ICE activity in real time? Isn't that a 1st Amendment issue? (genuine question) apnews.com/article/brad...

what’s next, making the police wear badges with numbers on them

NEW: Gov. Hochul announces that the state is dedicating $50 million for legal assistance for immigrants like those who may be targeted by ICE when leaving the federal courthouse

Abducting people at work sites - meaning they have jobs. Capturing them at court dates - meaning they're following the law. Blocking them from accessible higher education - meaning they're striving for more. And peddling lies about jobless, lawless, driftless.

It is actually nuts that even when the NYC political establishment was presented with a broad field of talented candidates w/ many ideas, in a time of generational change & anti-corruption, they STILL chose to line up behind scandal-ridden Andrew Cuomo. It’s cowardice.

for the last 5 years I've thought daily of the solidarity, creativity and care I saw during the 2020 uprisings. I asked @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social, @adriennemareebrown.bsky.social, @mskellymhayes.bsky.social, @deanspade.bsky.social +more what lessons from then we can use now @teenvogue.com

❤️‍🔥❤️‍🩹🔥 (as always, thinking of @smathewss.bsky.social's All This Could Be Different. it really can be!) www.teenvogue.com/story/organi...

If anyone is having trouble following my (increasingly long) thread tracking incidents where police assaulted journalists at protests in Los Angeles this weekend, it's also in spreadsheet form here. This is the more organized version I've been sending to lawyers, agency chiefs, electeds, etc.

The administration has declared war on certain parts of the country directly and they are also intent in murdering their supporters in rural towns. That's what's happening. THAT is the story but there is no mainstream press to cover it. Instead we get stories about college kids being too censorious.

I think a lot about this, from @smathewss.bsky.social’s great newsletter (smathewss.substack.com/p/every-day-...)

[this is not directed at any specific person, please do not scream at me in the replies] something I've felt after volunteering for various campaigns for 5+ years is that leaders in political organizing at all levels need to complete a course in emotional intelligence

FULL DISCLOSURE, MAGA Murder Budget is the messaging that I suggested and while I wanted to just ignore this new testing, now that it's out there, feels like I gotta wade in. Here goes - adventures in everything wrong with Dem message testing, a case study. /1

newest newsletter, a little april roundup smathewss.substack.com/p/mohsen-mah...

“I loved and supported Aaron as my son, and now I love and support Airyn as my daughter. I don’t know what the big deal is,” Robert De Niro told CNN in a statement. “I love all my children.” www.cnn.com/2025/05/01/e...

Mohsen Mahdawi is free!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

The Trump regime’s ICE foot soldiers broke into a US home in the middle of the night, forced a woman out of the house with her three daughters to stand in the rain in their underwear, and then robbed them of their phones, laptops, and life savings. #3E

NEW: I spoke to a 19-year-old (no tattoos, criminal record — open immigration case) who was almost removed from the country and potentially to El Salvador’s brutal prison until SCOTUS intervened this month. theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Many institutions are always in political fights so they understand that their power is something that must be aggressively defended. The judicial branch is being shown that they’re not immune from this. So they better throw some govt officials in jail pronto. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/theres-no-...

“Resistance draws more resistance to it. Be open to action.” “Look Your Terror in the Eye” from 100 Days of Creative Resistance by @smathewss.bsky.social engages with an initial cringe to resistance post-election, how the concept has been feminized, and how to re-engage. mailchi.mp/a3d64c45f4f6...

Screaming at these people works. They’re fundamentally wimps, we just have to actually DO the screaming instead of preemptively admitting defeat. I am talking about my fellow Americans, not the Democrats. We actually need to scream, gang, not just complain that Schumer isn’t.

A major update yesterday that I admit to having missed (was getting work done and having in-person meetings and not spending as much time online): the ACLU amended its complaint in front of Judge Boasberg and, in a filing today, is seeking the RETURN of everyone deported under the Alien Enemies Act.

Mr President SIR (*tears in my eyes), there are only 195 countries on the planet for you to make deals with

On day 96 of 100 Days of Creative Resistance, @smathewss.bsky.social: Look Your Terror in The Eye mailchi.mp/a3d64c45f4f6... @writingco-lab.bsky.social

one of the tasks of the American left is to explain to retail and service workers that this is the future that America has planned for them

One of the wilder political things in recent history is that Project 2025 publicly released a 900 page document laying out their plans to roll back 100 years of human progress and then during the campaign Republicans just said "no we're not :)" and then they won and now they're doing it all.

The United States is losing more than $90 billion in revenue because tourism is being driven away. www.nbcnews.com/business/con...

the funny thing about signalgate is that it wouldn't have been funny 6 months ago, it would be very serious and horrifying, but our bodies have stopped producing cortisol and signalgate is only funny thing to have happened in months

Please let the streak continue

🚨A U.S. born citizen was arrested in Florida for entering the state as an “unauthorized alien.” His mother and a community advocate showed his birth certificate during a hearing in Leon County. The judge said she had no authority to release him.

Hours ago, @politico.com revealed that DOGE is working with DHS on automating mass deportation efforts — likely explaining why many US citizens, green card holders, and even a Canadian (in Canada) got threatening emails last night terminating “your parole” and telling them to leave the US in 7 days.

3 days ago RFK Jr. told the CDC to stop recommending water fluoridation, claiming it was a neurotoxin (this is a lie). Turns out he also just eliminated the CDC’s entire Lead Program, and now lead poisoned children in Milwaukee are just on their own. Lead IS a neurotoxin and harms brain development

One man in CECOT "doesn’t even know that his child’s been born," his lawyer said. Another has muscular dystrophy affecting his right arm, per a court filing. The facts fit "every definition of an enforced disappearance under international law," an attorney told me. www.huffpost.com/entry/cecot-...

They have and are literally doing things in every box. This isn't just journalistic failure by the NYT, it is disinformation.

Well this seems like a fantastic plan. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/04/h...

Oligarchy is the theory that the business elite know what they want and deserve to get it good and hard. [I'm going to be using this a lot the next while]

In just two months, DOGE has —lost— the government an estimated half a trillion dollars. I propose that Musk pay it back personally.

“My detention at Guantanamo changed me. The isolation, the deprivation… it broke us down.” A Venezuelan man who entered the US for a CBP One appointment on Jan. 19, 2025—and violated no laws—describes the horrors of Guantanamo detention aka imprisonment. ccrjustice.org/sites/defaul...

Whoever wrote this headline/subhed combination should serve a week’s suspension from using the English language and pay a modest fine.

"Ugh, protests are cringe, rallies do nothing, voting is performative, and organizing is pointless. What do I suggest? Simple. A spontaneous total revolution of all aspects of society with no mass movement, organization, or effort required."

This is Utah in case anyone’s wondering how pissed off people are. I have never seen anything like this.
