This is extrajudicial murder. It is illegal and unethical. And it is a pathetic use of American military force, demonstrating not strength but weakness.

Sad news today about the “father of ECMO” life support, Robert Bartlett of the University of Michigan Medical School. Besides saving hundreds of thousands of lives through his care, research & leadership, he also championed our Life Sciences Orchestra. RIP. www.michiganmedicine.org/news-release...

11 weeks old!! So big now. #JenniAndDot #catsofbluesky #catsky

7th grade me is stoked!

One more reason why Democrats need to take back Congress. We need hearings, subpoenas, and daylight on every back-channel to Moscow. We have no ‘friends’ at the Kremlin‼️

This is an international disaster. They targeted a disabled fishing boat in Colombian territorial waters and killed fishermen.

Adorable babies have chosen to snuggle me. 🥰 #JenniAndDot #catsky #catsofbluesky

Aaaah the kittens are growing up!! 10.5 weeks old. #JenniAndDot #CatsofBluesky

Zoom should be available for every court proceeding, every time, everywhere. Courts are already too opaque and inaccessible, and expecting people to drop everything and show up to sit for hours is just ritualistic for its own sake and effectively prevents poor and disabled people from participating.

If your car was struck by a hit-and-run driver last night at University and 39th, my wife was a witness. Feel free to DM. The VA TKU-9573 tagged vehicle has over $900 in unpaid red light and speed camera citations.

At one time in my life I wouldn't donate to fundraisers if I only had a little to give. It seemed too small to make a difference so why bother? Now I know that goals get achieved when LOTS of people give those small amounts! Let's smash this hay drive one $8 bale at a time. 🍂

Thank you for your many contributions to the Padres organization and the San Diego community, Mike. We wish you the very best in your retirement 💛 #Padres @padres.com

The United States is currently in material breach of over five hundred legally binding treaties with Indigenous nations. We violated even the treaties we coerced at the point of a sword. We cannot talk about restoring the rule of law until we acknowledge and repair this fundamental truth.

If you stick a knife in my back 9 inches and pull it out 6 inches, that’s not progress. If you pull it all the way out, that’s not progress. The progress comes from healing the wound that the blow made. They haven’t begun to pull the knife out. They won’t even admit the knife is there. — Malcolm X

It cannot be made clearer. If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

Please help my friends with their hay drive or I will cancel Halloween (I have the authority to do this).

Donald Trump is breaching the Constitution and breaking the law. A show of force so he can militarize our cities because of the 2026 elections. We need to stand up together and speak up.

Michigan Avenue right now.

What Governor Pritzker is doing is right for his state, but it is vital for the Republic.

I will not back down. Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power. What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

In a screamy, table-flipping kind of mood today… 💅

The situation in America is not great. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

Never before in American history has one state's military force been deployed in another state over its objection. I say never because the Civil War involved states whose governments legally ceased to exist, their offices vacated by constructive resignation, with no legitimate governors to object.

If just a fraction of my followers all chipped in a little, my friends at Merrymac could finish their hay drive today! Please pitch in if you can. ☺️

Claim: 10 cars rammed ICE Truth: No cars rammed ICE Claim: She boxed ICE in Truth: ICE boxed her in Claim: She shot a rifle at ICE Truth: She did not have a rifle Claim: ICE returned fire Truth: Only ICE fired Claim: She drove herself to the hospital Truth: Paramedics found her

It seems clear—I think to everyone, now—that a false and illegal invocation of the Insurrection Act is coming before the end of the year. Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential Treason. State governments should be telling us. Activists should be developing plans.

Bringing this back. I also want to add one more thing: the people with the most privilege should take the most risk.

The people trying to prevent everyone from knowing what's really happening are never on the right side of history

Serious question: What's stopping the State of Illinois from arresting Stephen Miller & charging him with incitement? The Senate didn't confirm him. He's just a guy. At some point, the states MUST use their authority to prosecute, because the federal government certainly will not.

I INVOKE MY RIGHTS TO SILENCE AND COUNSEL AND WILL NOT ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS WITHOUT MY ATTORNEY PRESENT. Then shut up until you have that attorney present. You cannot invoke your right to silence just by being silent. You have to say the words.

Reminder that if you are interacting with law enforcement in Illinois, this IS a stop and ID state. Also, aside from identifying yourself and asking if you're free to leave, the ONLY thing you should say to law enforcement, state or federal, is:

A shocking video here, a shocking video there. How much are we not seeing?

Seriously time for General Strike.

All legal nonsense aside about the supposed state of armed conflict between the U.S. and Venezuelan gangs, what "I wish to emphasize is that there is a word for killings outside of armed conflict for which there is no domestic legal authority. That word is murder." [@benjaminwittes.lawfaremedia.org]

One of the lessons I discuss in "On Tyranny": Listen for dangerous words.

Keep taking videos of what ICE is doing. @govpritzker.illinois.gov is right, document what’s happening. This is why they hate journalists so much.

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

ABOLISH ICE. Pass it on.

I said what I said.

Such good helpers 🥰 #JenniAndDot #catsofbluesky #kittens

I think what’s most frustrating right now for Black and Indigneous people is waiting for the bulk of white folks to catch up. At some point the “this isn’t who we are” and “I didn’t have this on my bingo card” has to end and y’all will catch up, right? RIGHT? WE NEED YOU TO CATCH UP.

“War may sometimes be a necessary evil. But no matter how necessary, it is always an evil, never a good. We will not learn to live together in peace by killing each other's children.” Jimmy Carter, born on this day in 1924

a gentle reminder for folks to stop using the word "insane" when what you actually mean is "evil"
