When Canadians stop visiting WA because of Trump’s tariffs & antagonism, local shops, restaurants & workers feel it. Our communities depend on strong cross-border travel.

NEW: Air Force jets are doing ICE flights to Africa with transponders turned off, making them nearly un-trackable. This includes the third-country removal to Ghana and another secret flight. We figured out where it landed. From me for @rollingstone.com: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

14 years ago, “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” was repealed - a critical step toward equality for LGBTQ+ service members. The trauma of these policies isn't over, and neither is the fight. We must ensure that those unfairly discharged get the benefits they earned and that those who want to serve can.

Thanks for the comments and signatures this week. Ultimately though, I’m just glad to have made it through. Taking action is rewarding… but I am tired. Rest up everyone. #Resist #Recover #Repeat

I'm so tired of seeing wildfire smoke. 😷 It absolutely breaks my heart. The #BearGulchFire in the Olympic National Forest has burned over 19k acres, and is only 9% contained. It's almost doubled in a week. It's been beautiful weather, but dammit this drought can fuuuuuuuuck off already. 🌧🌧🌧🌧🌧🌧🌧

As I told @newrepublic.com, "Once last week, twice today, ICE has picked me up and thrown me on the ground. Honestly, it doesn’t compare to what our neighbors who are trapped inside the Broadview processing facility are going through. They’re committing crimes against humanity there."

Critical part of the President's new $100,000 charge for H1-B visas: The Administration can also offer a $100,000 discount to any person, company, or industry that it wants. Replacing rules with arbitrary discretion. Want visas? You know who to call and who to flatter.

I wish people knew what FEMA employees endure on deployment. We are away from our families months/ years. And we face hostility EVERYWHERE. Usually we are encouraged not to wear our shirts or anything that identifies us as FEMA employees. We get death threats. It’s not real pretty Or glamorous.

Goodnight to everyone, especially the guy following the National Guard troops around DC playing the Star Wars Imperial March. #TheForceIsStrongWithThisOne

This was a glorious Jon Stewart moment 🫡

Ruffalo: I'm reaching out to all of my brothers and sisters in the entertainment industry, to join us...They're coming after celebrities because they know we are the last ones to actually be able to have our freedom to speak. So use your platform wisely, use it generously for this movement. #NoKings

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".

The bogus mortgage fraud investigation into New York AG Letitia James is at a standstill because federal agents and prosecutors don't believe they have enough evidence to get a conviction if the case were to go to trial. www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

Federal Workers across the federal govt have organized this summer to send letters of dissent to their agency leadership. In retaliation, some have been placed on administrative leave, some have been fired & others have filed for whistleblower protections. #ShutTrumpDown

Women in the trades? Not in AmeriKKKa, no way.

Completely didn't see anything in my feed about Robert Redford moving on to the next plane of existence. 😭

New week's cover of The New Yorker, "Remote Control," by Barry Blitt.

I know we keep focusing on Colbert and Kimmel as we should, but we also need to remember there are hundreds of people who work for these shows who also just lost their jobs because of this bullshit, and most of them are probably not millionaires.

Just now, 11 state and city lawmakers were arrested by DHS police on the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza after a hour of demanding access to the ICE lock up on the same floor. @thecity.nyc

David Letterman is right: you can't appease a tyrant.

This is the playbook, folks. If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away. Do not be quiet in this moment.

When freedom is under fire you can count on me to ramble and mutter incoherently.

Omg @karenattiah.bsky.social ‼️

Thank you, British Resistance!

Free speech for me but not for thee

Make them look stupid! They cannot handle being mocked. -Kilroy was here-

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Neighboring unions are rallying with Boeing workers this week as many are still off the job — pushing for bigger raises, better retirement benefits and a stronger signing bonus. On Friday, unionized Boeing workers will vote on a new contract they helped negotiate.

Trump illegally fired 18 independent watchdogs who oversaw how federal agencies spend your tax dollars. I’m leading the call for a review of how these firings are contributing to waste, fraud, & abuse. www.notus.org/democrats/de...

The union representing the musicians from Jimmy Kimmel’s band releases a statement calling the FCC’s pressure on Disney “state censorship.”

What’s at stake here is free speech. Across the board, we’ve seen the Trump administration use the power of government to go after anybody who’s criticized them — and in this case, Jimmy Kimmel. We need to all stand up and speak out.

SAG-AFTRA Statement on the Suspension of Jimmy Kimmel Live!

•ABC: fires Kimmel for mocking Trump •CBS: fires Colbert for mocking Trump •ABC: fires Moran for slamming Stephen Miller •MSNBC: fires Matt Dowd for saying “hateful thoughts lead to hateful actions” •FOX: Champions Brian Kilmeade as he calls for Nazi state murder of America’s 600K homeless people

reminder: Jimmy Kimmel is enough of a mensch that he devised a segment on which actors who are just short of having enough work to qualify for union healthcare come on his show and deliver a single line of dialogue deadline.com/2024/07/jimm...

WGA Statement on ABC’s Decision to Pull Jimmy Kimmel Live!

The Epstein Investigation is so much bigger than you can imagine. It is not only about justice for survivors—it is also about the institutions and systems that protected rich and powerful men they knew were abusing women and children: the banks, the government agencies, and other powerful people.

Just so I'm clear: TV host says we should kill every homeless person? No big deal TV host says the right must "go to war" with the left? Pfft. TV host says the government is cracking down on critics? Well, the government cracks down on him for the criticism. Free speech, everyone.

Seriously. I'm not an attorney and knew this.

What America is going through is not unusual in historical terms. Plenty of examples like it today elsewhere in the world. What makes it unusual is the rapid collapse from a set of widely espoused norms and values that centered on liberty. It is the sacking of the shining city on hill that shocks.

Obama: We have to recognize that on both sides there are people who are extremists  But I will say that those extreme views were not in my White House. I wasn’t embracing them. I wasn’t empowering them. I wasn’t putting the weight of the government behind extremist views.

FCC twerp Brendan Carr was on a freaking podcast earlier hinting a threat against ABC affiliates if they didn't cancel Kimmel. "We can do this the easy way or the hard way"
