Poll taxes are unconstitutional. Any i.d. that is required to vote has to be provided by the government. This is a way to disenfranchise the poor. Call your senators.

Other countries can do it, why can’t we? www.france24.com/en/live-news...

The so-called Save America Act will force 21 million American citizens to produce passports or birth certificates just to register to vote. Most do not have them ready. Turning paperwork into a barrier is a poll tax by another name. #HandsOffHerVote social.demcast.com/s/L59wZJZY #Demcast

Good morning Bluesky. The Olympics has always been a troubling reality. It is not impervious to racial bias. My belief, believe half of what you see, and almost none of what you hear, if it is coming from the media. Do your research.

Yep

Law without a morality that respects human dignity is an abomination. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a...

Democrat Taylor Rehmet won a Texas state Senate election in a reliably Republican district that Trump won by 17 points in 2024

No arrests of the ICE thugs who murdered Alex Pretti, Renee Good, or Keith Porter. No arrests of anyone in the Epstein Files. But they arrested Don Lemon because of his journalism.

This episode is a somewhat brutal reality check about the uphill battle to end qualified immunity. It CAN happen but … it’s going to be a battle. Best to go into it with eyes wide open. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a...

So basically Albert Speer’s defense at Nuremberg.

Sen. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., rolls out his demand for supporting a DHS appropriations bill: fire Stephen Miller

Absolutely on point. Thank you @adriennemareebrown.bsky.social! mailchi.mp/adriennemare...

It boils down to this: They want the founding without the violence that made it possible.

WA state pals: there is currently a state bill (HB2641) that will ban certain federal officers (ICE) from employment at any state law enforcement. Read the bill here: lawfilesext.leg.wa.gov/biennium/202... Comment here: app.leg.wa.gov/pbc/bill/2641 Share and comment!

It's much worse now. It is imperative we learn from history.

I’m catching up on my podcasts and found this - per usual - to be a very helpful episode to better understand how on the brink we are. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a...

The congressional switchboard number is (202) 224-3121. Put it in your cell phone. Use it. If you're not calling at least once a week, you're not doing your part.

I mean those Epstein files must be REALLY bad for everyone. Republicans, Democrats, their families, friends and most importantly DONORS. Literally no other SANE reason this hasn’t been put to a stop by Congress yet. Cowards.

Okay, tell me the AP isn’t totally trolling our Toddler-in-Chief with this photo.

Today is Martin Luther King, Jr.’s birthday. Perhaps commemorate it by giving these a listen/read and make an active commitment for the Beloved Community. www.npr.org/2024/02/07/1...

This MLK Jr Weekend, let’s prioritize gathering in community AND reflecting thoughtfully and creatively on the lessons of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. beyond the willful misquoting of “I Have a Dream.” #CreateBelovedCommunity open.substack.com/pub/letspeop...

The Supreme Court only cleared the way for Kavanaugh Stops four months ago and ICE now openly engages in violent racial profiling, snatching anyone who looks non-white and treating them as presumptively guilty of a crime. Remarkable how quickly our liberties can be crushed when courts go along.

I remember saying months ago that the reason you don't see Proud Boys anymore is because they're all ICE agents now and I had a bunch of people poo-poo me and say I was reaching. And now the leader of the Proud Boys is in the list of ICE agents that a whistleblower just leaked.

We truly need to recenter human dignity in all of our practices of law and “order.”

As a rural progressive, I see wisdom in some of this analysis of the exasperation felt by many of us. This primary season I hope technocrat Dems & those loyal to incumbents approach debates abt candidates w/open minds instead of “Oh, so you want Trump to win”. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/12/o...

If, like me, you have appreciated the award-winning podcast, @sceneonradio.bsky.social, for its deep work unpacking history to better understand the present, then I encourage you to check out John Biewen’s monthly-ish newsletter, Keeping ScOr. buttondown.com/KeepingScOR/...

Amicus does an excellent job breaking down the legal consequences of the Trump Regime’s assault on laws: civil rights; human rights; and international. Minutes 7 & 23 are especially on point. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a...

The guy who first dressed as Portland Frog, a major symbol of our protest and then other national protests, has been arrested while peacefully protesting. Prints of this painting by Simran Gleason are being sold to support his defense. www.simrangleason.com/prints/p/por... #pdx #protest

My word I really dislike it when the present repeats and rhymes with the worst of history. H/T @hcrichardson.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

If we do nothing else this month of Martin Luther King, Jr.’s birthday, may we lean in with a dogged commitment to dismantle the habits of mind, institutions and systems that prioritize “thingification” over Human Dignity. open.substack.com/pub/letspeop...

This is NOT what Democracy looks like. #NeverForget #January6Insurrection

Republicans could immediately go into session. As many as needed could become independent and caucus with the democrats. That group could immediately put an end to all of this in a matter of days. This is the law, and they know it. If they don't act now, they are willfully choosing to go along.

2026 marks the 250th anniversary of the #DeclarationofIndependence. When was the last time you read it? I re-read it this morning, w/annotations and I find myself more determined than ever to make 2026 the year for declaring and celebrating our #INTERdependence. substack.com/inbox/post/1...

Black Americans have been the tip of the spear for civil rights, securing liberties for everyone—including people of color who distanced themselves from the movement the moment they walked through the doors we opened. A gentle reminder.🔥☕️ #ProudBlue #ResistanceUnited #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Hey #Canva users, AI skeptics, and #CleanEnergy Advocates: Does anyone know if Canva and its US domestic server hosts (Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud) have taken similar steps in the US to offset its impact on our domestic power (and water)? www.canva.com/sustainabili...
