NEW: I'm releasing tomorrow's show tonight. It's too important. An internal DHS memo instructs ICE to kick your door in without a proper warrant. Please share widely: www.youtube.com/watch?v=TsZY...

Thread Non-violent protest is NOT peaceful protest. Politicians and the media use these words interchangeably to our detriment. And most folks don't hear the difference. Here's what I mean:

"As a longtime foreign correspondent, I have covered civil wars in countries across the globe. Not so long ago, I would have rolled my eyes at the notion that one could erupt anywhere in America, much less in my once placid home state of Minnesota. And yet here I was"

WA residents - this is a great time to call or email your state senator in support of SB 5855 to prohibit face masks and require LEOs to be identifiable. The bill should be up for a floor vote soon. Find your state senator here: app.leg.wa.gov/DistrictFind... #WAstateleg #FuckICE #AbolishICE

This is the safest, most moderate course of action that offers some prospect of de-escalation. It is the only way for Democrats. Don't do it and we're on a glide path toward brutal fascist dictatorship or civil war. This isn't going to just stop on its own.

This. I am done returning to the status quo of what got us here. I want universal healthcare. I want a maximum wage tied to the minimum wage. I want omnipresent, cheap public transit and walkable neighborhoods. I want Supreme Court and police reform, and I want the rich to pay their fair share.

The sheriffs and their allies are putting a ton of effort into killing this bill. Please sign in PRO to show your support! #WAstateleg

This hasn’t gotten enough coverage

Imagine winning your last 2 elections by 750k votes in a Democratic trifecta state and posting this twaddle

🧵 Starting the year with an urban adventure! @hannafloss.bsky.social and I will be riding the full length of the @sound-transit.bsky.social light rail lines 1 & 2, starting at the BelRed station. Looking forward to seeing the new stations, as well as many others we’ve never been to!

Today a local conservative and ICE agent who cried bloody murder when asked to wear a mask during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic clarified he’s actually totally fine with wearing masks as long as it’s to ruin lives, not save them: tinyurl.com/3pabcukx

This 🧵 is 🔥

As an app developer, I'm forced to live in the Apple & Google ecosystems. To fight back, I changed the top of my settings page to look like this. I think of it as "carbon offsets for fascism". For every dollar that Apple & Google get from my app, I give a dollar to Protect Democracy.

Releasing the Epstein Files was the weirdest way to find out that Donald Trump has actually had one real friend.

It used to be that the United States would use Voice of America and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty to transmit truth across the borders of repressive regimes. Now the work of American reporters, having been censored, is being smuggled across the border to reach Americans.

I don’t know how it works at the New York Times, but my editors at The Guardian would never let me publish this if they knew that I was one of the elites who spent time with Epstein. And if I published it without telling them, I would be out of a job.

The Vanity Fair photographer with a lot more courage than many titans industry and brokers of power

Extraordinary courage from Ahmed al Ahmed, a Muslim, 43-year-old father of two, who bravely risked his life to save his neighbors celebrating Hanukkah. Praying for his full & speedy recovery. And so deeply inspired by his example.

The largest recipient of government handouts in American history is an immigrant who hates immigrants getting government handouts.

that is the most republican looking man i have ever seen

If the Fourteenth Amendment isn’t real then Section 3 isn’t real either and the justices are suddenly just people in funny clothes.

Senator, it’s time that you and @governorferguson.bsky.social simply block ICE from operating in the state of Washington. Shut down the Tacoma gulag. Use our natl guard to arrest ICE. Fight back, don’t just complain

I love adding this one data point to economic charts. It works every time.

He’s gesturing to a sleeping man as he says “He’s the only leader in the world who can help end [the war in Ukraine].”

🚨Imagine ICE conducting a raid on your PRIVATE PROPERTY.🚨 Illegal, unconstitutional, and an elevation of ICE’s encroachment. This needs to have national attention. 1/2

How many carts and parking spots does the average store have? Non-violent resistance for retail spaces: Fill up their parking spots. Use all their carts. Park. Grab a cart. Go inside and wander around in circles. Buy nothing for hours. Customers can’t park. Customers can’t get a cart. #resist

You can walk away. Before the shame follows you home. #StopICE

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted. If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

T-Mobile doesn't care about customers, or about how its business dealings affect our future. #boycottTMobile tmobileboycott.org

This is mind blowing. Looks like we all have some research to do. If this holds up, it needs to go viral.

Instead of folding like cheap chairs, Democrats should have forced the GOP to end the shutdown by killing the filibuster. Holding onto the archaic, antidemocratic tradition doesn't help them stop fascism, it makes them complicit to it. My latest in @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Here's an op-ed I wrote recently about the ongoing harm being done by Elon Musk and the importance of making his business partners (like T-Mobile) pay a price for supporting him. #defundmusk #MuskMustFall #teslatakedown

Since the Democrats worked extra hard to hide who actually supported this, I think the No Kings/Resistance position should be to primary every Democrat unless they publicly call for Schumer's ouster this week Either they go into total rebellion mode, which they won't, or the people will

If we get the chance, we can’t make these mistakes again. If we get the chance…

As an app developer, every $ you earn benefits democracy foes Google and/or Apple. My solution - "carbon offsets for fascism" - I donate the same amt that Apple/Google get from @crewnerd.app each month to @protectdemocracy.org, and promote their work on my app settings page.

Metaphor made literal.

I've given my new Senator a lot of shit on here. But I don't think anyone with power has laid out the stakes of what we're facing as clearly as she does right here. And if she's saying this, it's because she feels she must.

Leaving home shortly to post bail as a volunteer with the NW Community Bail Fund. I've seen bail as low as $50 before, but today I'm posting a $25 bail. How does that make sense?

Very long thread, but great info here! I have some work to do. You can read this as a single doc here: skywriter.blue/pages/did:pl...

What I am getting ready to say is going to upset some people. It needs to be said anyways. I was born and raised in Seattle. I have been civically and politically involved for many years. I have a job that requires me to travel all over the PNW. Washington state has a problem. www.iceinmyarea.org/en
