As I am sitting on a plane in Kansas City, headed no where fast because of the ground stoppage, I’m wondering if we’ll forget what normal was like.

Great event today with Lamonte McIntyre in KCK.

OMG we would not want accountability. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/20/u...

Advancing the appointment of Mullin is really telling Americans that the Republican Senators have lost all pride in the country. We need to demand more.

Sorry this visit wasn’t better timed for Canes! So close.

@mrworkrate.com Thanks for the nice words about Injustice Town!

Thanks to Ricky Mathews for a discussion about journalism and about justice! Two topics that matter to me. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cnq6...

@wademinter.com And thanks to you, too!!!!

@lasagnazero.bsky.social thank you for coming tonight!

@whatabossislaas.bsky.social Thank you for coming tonight!

John Grisham, the New Yorker, Buzz Bissinger and Barry Scheck all commend Injustice Town. Come here me talk about it tonight at 6:30 at Quail Ridge Books in Raleigh with David Zucchino. No Bo-Berry Biscuits, though. quailridgebooks.com/event/ricktu...

Raleigh/Triangle residents: Hoping we get a good turnout for my conversation with David Zucchino tonight at Quail Ridge Books. No free Boberry Biscuit, but still....

If only a majority of the US Supreme Court would call out Trump's illegality with half the clarity of the lower courts, much of the nonsense that threatens Democracy would vanish. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

We do have complete clowns in charge. People who have no experience in anything to do with government, much less military, actions, and they have no idea what they are doing. No wonder those with that experience are furious.

They should hang next to this a video of Hawley scampering through the hallways. www.youtube.com/watch?app=de...

@frozen-cranberry.bsky.social Just hoping you know about (and might spread the word?) that I'll be at Seminary Coop next Saturday at 3, in conversation with Steve Garnett. Hoping for a crowd of people who care about justice!

@indivchisouth.bsky.social Hoping for good crowd of South Siders who care about justice on Mar 14 at 3 p.m. Seminary Coop Book Store.

Hey, Raleigh people! My next chance to talk about Injustice Town is at Quail Ridge Books, Wednesday night. In conversation with David Zucchino. quailridgebooks.com/event/ricktu... I cannot wait for this. Hope we get a good crowd of people who care about justice in America.

I do not believe in my lilfetime there ever was so weak a Speaker of the House.

Words to live by, from the.NYT: "Democracy in this country remains under threat from Mr. Trump. But it has better than a fighting chance so long as Americans are willing to fight." www.nytimes.com/2026/03/03/o...

Just saw this and hope I'm not dreaming. The New Yorker best books so far of 2026?

Evanstonians! My next stop on my book tour is right here. bookendsandbeginnings.com/event/2026-0... And Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill (Caniacs and non-Caniacs alike): My stop next week is Quail Ridge. quailridgebooks.com/event/ricktu... Hope to see everyone.

Why doesn't this feel like we're in secure hands? www.9news.com.au/world/us-isr...

These guys were selling t-shirts until they needed a war to cover up the intentional damage they did to the economy and the president's involvement in a pedophilia scandal.

America. Not so beautiful…

I've finished this book and am blown away by the deep digging, fine details and beautiful narrative @ricktulsky.bsky.social put together over a decade's work. Join us to talk about it at Unity Temple on Wednesday night. rainydaybooks.com/event/2026-0...

Having as conversation partners Emily Bazelon and then Alex Kotlowitz this week made for two pretty extraordinary evenings. And then Rachel Monroe adds to it in the New Yorker? Wow, is all I can say. www.newyorker.com/books/under-...

Coming events: Feb 19, 6:30, The Book Cellar in Lincoln Square with Alex Kotlowitz; Feb 23, 6:00, Left Bank Books, St. Louis, with Brian Heffernan of StL Public Radio; and Feb 25, 7 p.m., Rainy Day Books is hosting an event at Unity Temple in KC Mo, with Peggy Lowe of KCUR. More to follow.

So happy to welcome back to town next week my friend, @ricktulsky.bsky.social, who has written THE book on KCK's astonishing history of police corruption. Join us! @kcur.org rainydaybooks.com/event/2026-0...

We are so grateful for this incredible review of INJUSTICE TOWN by @ricktulsky.bsky.social from Rachel Monroe and @newyorker.com. "Tulsky’s book makes for a worthy entry in the canon of American injustice."

People of CT: The terrific Emily Bazelon will be my conversation partner tomorrow at RJ Julia in Madison CT. The topic narrowly will be my new book, but more broadly we’ll talk about how to protect the rule of law at a very fragile moment. Hope a large group can join. rjjulia.com/event/2026-0...

Slow start to this trip. (Scheduled 11:40)

Seth Jarvis is replacing Brayden Point on Team Canada

Corey Lewandowski was Greg Bovino's boss?? OMG.

Just a few years ago, when journalists exposed a horrible abuse and publicized it, government officials traditionally took steps to address the misconduct/malfeasance to avoid, if nothing else, political fallout. But this administration seems distinguished in taking pride in its abuses.

This from Philip Lewis, deputy ed at Huff Post: Civil rights activist Medgar Evers was shot in the back by a Klansman in 1963. The National Park Service has removed visitor brochures from Evers' museum and reportedly plans to remove references that call his murderer a “racist"

Hoping people in and near Lawrence Kansas, especially those who care about a just world, are able to attend the launch of Injustice Town on Tuesday night. ravenbookstore.com/event/2026-0...

It feels like all of us should be in a state of high-alarm when the director of national intelligence shows up in Georgia over the ballots in 2020. I’m old enough to remember domestic abuses of national intelligence service. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Yeah, sure, it's great to get those packages overnight, and to enjoy Whole Foods. Until you consider the profits help fund the ICE crackdown. popular.info/p/the-corpor...

This witness to Alex Pretti's murder not only refutes the governmen't story, but says she is afraid to go home because federal agents might arrest her. This is what it feels like to live under state terror. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

(Thread) Thinking about what happened in Minnesota yesterday, it made me focus on "the right to bear arms" and the role of the U.S. Supreme Court's role in the insanity of our country. And it made me think about how much SCOTUS is responsible for Making America Worse. (more_)

Stephen Miller would brand the ICU nurse at the VA, the man killed on the sreet today, a "domestic terrorist" who "tried to assassinate federal law enforcement." Among the misstatements: Not only was he not out to kill anyone; these are thugs, not law enforcement.

Gov. Tim Walz: 'There's a whole lot of Republicans for whatever reason cannot find their spine, but they might find the ability to know they won't win another election as long as they live unless they stand up for what's right...and the rule of law...and human decency."

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

When and where am I doing book events? Lawrence KS.., and Philadelphia and Maplewood NJ and Bethesda Md and New Haven and Chicago and St. Louis and Kansas City and Evanston and Raleigh and Chicago and Tulsa.....Whew. Hope to see lots of friends, colleagues and book lovers! linktr.ee/ricktulsky

Not sure what the worst part of this tweet is. The ignorance about protecting the planet? Or the reckless use of the word 'insurrectionist' for anyone who disagrees with him?
