Full Mehdi Hasan speech at No Kings protest calls Trump out, says immigrants 'love this country'. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHtI...

It's official. Nearly 7 million people. Today is the single largest day of protest in American history. Americans from all corners of the country are standing up and saying #NoKings. This is what peaceful, patriotic protest looks like.

This is so chilling.

Subway sandwich guy has been released on his own recognizance. His attorney argued the felony charge was excessive, and the judge agreed. Oh, and he’s a USAF veteran. www.wusa9.com/article/news...

The story that ignited my hunger for more stories.

Robert F. Mengele belongs in prison, but at this point, I’ll settle for a resignation. #rkfjrresign #rfkjtcriminal

I wrote the essay of the week for @theguardian.com on, well, guess. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

Flood the line.

Today marks five years since George Floyd was killed by police. Our June 22, 2020 cover “Say Their Names,” by Kadir Nelson, illustrated how Floyd’s murder embodies the history of violence inflicted upon Black people in America. nyer.cm/UmfefJw

Stop calling kidnapping and trafficking people to countries they’ve never been to “deporting.” It’s criminal behavior by a country with no conscience. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Don’t forget, Chauvin’s state crimes can’t be pardoned - and that’s the longer of the two sentences. Also don’t forget the people who support that murderer.

Good morning fellow blues. #timelinecleanse

Dear senators who think you can’t do anything, Today, Senator Van Hollen - through diplomatic pressure - got a meeting with Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. So that thing you’re thinking about doing? DO IT. ~ All of Us

Bring him HOME! Right the fuck NOW!!!

Understand this. This is how these things happen— and not just in 1930 - 40s Germany — but in Argentina, Brazil, Guatemala, Lebanon etc etc etc. We need to protect immigrants and our other vulnerable neighbours. This is indeed the moral moment.

Frame worthy indeed!

Lucy wondering if cats should just take over the world since humans are doing such a shit job…… #felinefriday #cats #catsofbluesky #catsky

Turns out prosecutors didn’t buy Mace’s story about being brutally assaulted by an activist who shook her hand.

Kindness is loaning someone your strength, instead of reminding them of their weakness

Pour yourself into the people you love and the things that give you joy. Your energy is precious and finite. Don't waste it or let shitty people take it from you.

Thank you Senator Cory Booker. Call him and thank him. I just did. Press 1 and leave a message: 202-224-3224 All #democrats must take the torch and keep going. Hold the floor until this insanity stops! #resist

Cry more

Resist. Breath. Resist again. #WestCork #Walk

Turns out, hiring a drunken rapist to run the Department of Defense is as bad an idea as electing a drug-addicted rapist to be President or a trust fund baby whose company is addicted to Gub’ment handouts to find government fraud.

Morning walk. 🚶‍♀️ #westcork

Thom Tillis casting the deciding vote to confirm Hegseth, and his shameful silence yesterday, should be a major issue in the 2026 NC Senate race.

If these men had any sense of honor, they would already have resigned. The fact that they are all still in their jobs is just as damning as their terrifying and lawless incompetence.

Would love for a reporter or ten to call up Susan Collins et al and ask how they're feeling about backing SECDRUNK Pete Hegseth.

Self-care Saturday.

Exactly this.

When following the headlines fills me with despair, it's comforting to cuddle with a family member who remains blissfully unconcerned about fascism. That would be Trixie (a/k/a Bat-Mite).

I’m the Canadian who was detained by Ice for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped

Extraordinary moment — Nancy Pelosi issues a statement calling on Democratic senators to reject the House funding bill, i.e. to defy Chuck Schumer. "Democratic senators should listen to the women," she says, referring to Murray/DeLauro who want a 1-month stopgap bill instead.
