We can't go numb to this. We can't let this become normal.

i appreciate the @pressherald.com granting free access to their crucial live updates on the ICE shooting of a person in biddeford, maine this morning:

I left mine: I simply noted that four different executive orders (three of which have been determined to be viewpoint discrimination) do not provide the basis for ignoring over forty different statutory frameworks enacted by Congress to provide grants.

Before J6, Lindsey Graham called the governor of Georgia and pressured him to steal the election for Trump. He was a traitor. Nothing else about him matters after that.

Corporate Media presents US a fantasy world (where are institutions are holding and MAGA Republicans represent the views of "Real Americans") that is completely disconnected from both reality and their consumers.

Look, if one side is openly pro corruption, and the truth is somewhere in the middle, this is what you get bsky.app/profile/pbum...

this is just getting comical, we're witnessing innovations on the frontiers of journalistic absurdity

Mark Zuckerberg hates Climate Change, unless he is causing it with his $300m Yacht that uses as much Diesel as 2000 cars.

A bridge to fascism. Just stop.

You can’t keep saying the Republicans are an existential threat to democracy and two seconds later pen an ode to Lindsey Grahams corpse and think people will believe you are honest

So relatable: "Good men...seem relics of better times..., not emulated because they're not in fashion. The misfortune of your century, that virtue is taken as unusual and malice as the norm!"

Houstonians marched through the streets of Downtown demanding: ICE OUT OF HOUSTON, ICE OUT OF EVERYWHERE! JUSTICE FOR LORENZO!

🚨 HEADS UP: If you haven't submitted a comment on the OMB proposal yet, there's still time - but it's running out! There are only 1 days left to push back against Russell Vought's attempt to give political appointees unprecedented control over federal research funding. Take Action: zurl.co/eoQwY

From a 2017 article I wrote on Graham and Trump: "Graham may be remembered as the Republican who once saw the light -- and then decided to extinguish it." www.fastcompany.com/40507354/wit...

Sanctuary laws help clarify that police and prosecutors seek to protect the safety of all residents. A Brennan Center friend-of-the-court brief shared that perspective from a group of former law enforcement officials. bit.ly/4eRniF0

Lindsey Graham’s obituary—written while he was very much alive by @saletan.bsky.social

Lindsey Graham was one of the main subjects of a @theatlantic.com cover story I wrote in 2020, on why people collaborate with regimes they know are immoral. Here's a gift link: www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

Live your life in such a way that no one you are close to mourns the death of fascists.

Okay, after much deliberation since about 75% of what I draw has patterns of one kind or another, I have chosen this Wyandotte chicken because I don't think I've reposted it as much as some of the others I was considering and also I just love it #ArtRepostJuly The theme is #pattern!

A proposed rule fueled by Trump’s conspiracy theories would require the USPS to keep a list of voters it believes should be allowed to vote by mail—and give them the power to hold those ballots hostage. Urge them to say NO and help protect voting by mail: act.standupamerica.com/letters/cte-...

Anyway, join the Left(s) where we may be neurotic but we are also creative and many of us have a sense of humor and whimsy.

TPS protects those who'd face danger if they're forced to return to their countries of origin. Many have been here for decades. They're regularly vetted & are part of our communities.   Now, SCOTUS is letting Trump send law-abiding TPS holders back into harm’s way. Shameful.

The Trump administration's national counterterrorism strategy does not mention the far right. Two weeks later, two teens citing Great Replacement theory allegedly killed 3 at a San Diego mosque. @pwbeck.bsky.social and @jacobware.bsky.social explain the implications of the strategy's blind spots.

Hi, I’m selling these stickers and will donate 100% of sales to legal fees and bail funds for the Prairieland defendents. I will be sure to post reciepts! $4 each, DM to order, and please help me spread the word!

re-upping because this is the only democrat in government who has said something afaik.

i couldn't be more supportive of the effort to keep public money out of the hands of a Texan billionaire

They are installing their own people in order to use the military to keep themselves in power and I need people to wake up about it.

Yeah that's worked out great so far hasn't it

T1.0 showed how fragile even US Constitution was when ICE began openly targeting US citizens for no legitimate cause. Even before those well televised Portland BLM protest unmarked citizen ceasures, ICE officers were being weaponized against political advocaries within #GOP & country at large.

Protester sues after 'point blank' blast of pepper spray outside Portland ICE facility

A Portland woman filed suit Friday against a federal officer, alleging he doused her in the face with pepper spray in October in retaliation for complaining about another officer’s treatment of a protester outside Portland’s ICE building. theoregonian.visitlink.me/fUdsDs

Entering month 6 of Mamdani's NYC & Robberies are down 11%, Retail theft is down 19%, & Murder is down 21%—all without "Adding 5000 new cops." Instead, he's invested in public safety free childcare, food, and better funded schools. Safer cities come from investing in people—not punishments.

Ex-Border Patrol leader Greg Bovino recently mingled with Hitler admirers, avowed racists, and far-right politicians at the “Remigration Summit.” It seems as if Bovino, derided by his political opponents as “Gestapo Greg,” might be leaning into his nickname.

Police have imposed a ban on entry within a half-mile radius of Delaney Hall. They have set up roadblock checkpoints and surveillance cameras in the area.

"Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity." ~Martin Luther King Jr.

If the response from Democrats to family members and neighbors being thrown into concentration camps is to mobilize the police to attack people trying to stop these atrocities - then they are on the side of the concentration camps. www.inquirer.com/opinion/miki...

Yes. Using a computer now feels like this at all times.

New — I talked with @katmabu.bsky.social the morning after a judge dismissed all charges against her and her co-defendants thanks to extreme government fuckery about what comes next, the crazy rumor mill and setting a precedent for telling ICE to fuck off. Our convo here:

The Pope has spoken out for the protection of immigrants, and against the Iran war. Now he's launching a papal letter on AI. Tomorrow, he'll be joined by an Anthropic co-founder, religious leaders, and theologians in an address about safeguarding human dignity in the AI era.

Amid Meta's mass layoffs and a hard pivot to AI, one engineer posted a scorched-earth farewell parody video to the tune of “American Pie” in an internal message board. We got our hands on it.

Promises made, promises kept

Family is one thing, but poorly Photoshopped images of himself looming over Greenland are another.

Tech Policy Press fellow Petra Molnar highlights the AI Resist List: a global database documenting acts of resistance to the AI industry. From legal challenges and worker organizing to artistic interventions, the project seeks to challenge the “scale at all costs” development of AI.

1. The data center boom isn’t a neutral response to public need. It’s a speculative race by Amazon, Google, Meta & Microsoft to consolidate control over AI and extend their monopoly power — while shifting huge costs onto the rest of us. Here's ILSR's guide to what we need to do.

Political expectations are below ground. I understand. But we absolutely need to raise our expectations. That needs to be the default position. HIGH EXPECTATIONS.

this is a masterpiece

Bezos discusses why him paying more taxes wouldn't help working people on the same day my reporting reveals the working conditions inside an Amazon package facility where someone died last month.

Sad but true: If 5* football players were to start boycotting Bama, Ole Miss and LSU, you'd see states like Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana go from some of the most racist places in America to having "I Have a Dream" Tuesdays and painting Black Lives Matter in their football stadium end zones.
