California unveiled an online portal to report potentially illegal activity by federal law enforcement, including ICE agents, to the state Department of Justice.

This isn’t even the stuff they’re trying to actually stop from getting out.

Bring on the Progressives. Boot out the establishment. I am so sick of them.

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice. It doesn't have to be this way.

In a way, I find the authoritarian takeover of our media system even more disturbing than the authoritarian takeover of our political system. Our political system has been failing basically my entire adult life. But, the media system provided accountability and sort of worked. Now it’s collapsing.

Shutdown Day 33: 900k federal workers furloughed. That’s nearly the population of Austin, TX without paychecks.

Food insecurity is ALWAYS a political choice. Famine is ALWAYS manmade. People go hungry because of other people’s decisions. We have more than enough food for everyone, and enormous amounts of it are wasted—literally thrown in the garbage—on purpose.

I know this is obvious. And I know we all know this. But if the President can raise taxes because an advert annoyed him, without even consulting Congress, then the US constitution is simply not functioning as intended.

ICE is now the 13th largest military in the world on its own. Never ever accept the lie we cannot pay for Universal Healthcare.

Whatever you think of the White House as a building or a symbol, the fact is that the image of it being torn apart on a whim two days after 7 million people hit the streets against autocracy is going to make a HUGE amount of people really, really angry, and that's an energy that should be harnessed.

ANY ARRESTS? Among the millions upon millions of "violent leftist radicals" that took to the streets today I cannot find word of a single arrest. Even when everything is peaceful there is usually an overzealous cop or something. This is unheard of. We need to beat the media over the head with it.

The #NYC contingent of the @mediaanddemocracy.bsky.social joined tens of thousands of their fellow New Yorkers at the #NoKings demonstration in support of the First Amendment - especially: freedom of assembly and a #PressFreedom.

This is a blatant attempt to silence and isolate us. He’s stopping the trains, closing the freeways and firing live rounds into California. We will not be intimidated. We will not be silenced. #NoKings

When you equate opposing Trump with hating America, you're kinda making the whole point of the No Kings rally. Find a protest near you: www.nokings.org

This is truly grotesque. Teachers should not be using this stuff. If a school was pushing it on teachers who work with kids I care about, I'd make a big effing stink until they stopped. We have to not give into this.

Let us try this.

It’s a "crisis" when immigrants "take jobs away", but "innovation" when machines do. Funny.

Whether you like it or not, this is our painful truth in America.

I understand this. Please tell me you do, too.

If you showed this tweet to James Madison, he would be like, "yes, this is why I wrote the 2nd Amendment"

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com “Cycling in the buff is a Portland specialty, and one organization has announced a naked ride ‘in response to the militarization of our city,’” our columnist @nickkristof.bsky.social writes. “Such is the war zone here.”

@govpritzker.illinois.gov 37 and Kedzie, East Garfield, Illinois. This is assault.

"Fuck ICE" is a patriotic sentiment. Perhaps the most patriotic in this moment.

When a president sends troops into American cities to “restore order,” what he’s really doing is testing obedience. Portland and Chicago aren’t war zones…they’re warning shots. Authoritarians don’t announce takeovers. They practice them. One city at a time. However, each practice destroys families.

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

the people who told us to calm down because Roe was settled law are the same people now telling us to calm down because the military would never open fire on Americans

Somewhere in America, a young Hispanic girl is hiding in an attic writing a diary.

Attn Black people, stop scrolling. This is not a drill: Chicago

“They asked for a sword, and we said, ‘Well, we do have swords, but we can’t give them away because they’re museum artifacts,’” said Todd Arrington, forced to resign as head of Dwight D. Eisenhower Presidential Library.”

Yes, and gladly. Happy to contribute to preventing people from dying no matter where they were born.

Please...PLEASE stop referring to the military occupation of American cities and the brutalization of minority communities as "distractions."

History has many painful lessons.

Happy I-Fuckin-Warned-You-About-Project-2025-And-You Called-Me-Crazy Day to those who celebrate

Matthew 15:29-31: And great crowds came to him, bringing with them the lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute, and many others, and they put them at his feet, and he healed them after verifying their citizenship status.

This short passage from a Politico afternoon newsletter captures a huge amount of the advantage gained by lying at scale and the why the DC press corps remains wired for the GOP.

Pete Hegseth probably thinks Jack Nicholson is the good guy in “A Few Good Men,” doesn’t he?

I have too much to get done today so I gotta nope out of the news but I will say that someone once said we needed to keep a scoreboard of how often pundits/columnists are absolutely wrong and it should be published with all their future work to give proper context

When the military becomes the police, the people become the enemy.

fck Maureen Dowed forever.

I’m opening a movie theater in which I show recently released films that I ripped from the internet but the studios are welcome to opt out if they wish.

The top 10% now hold 67.4% of all the wealth in the US. The bottom 50% hold 2.5%.

Well that didn’t age well for @thehill.com - will you all own up to being wrong here?

ICE arrested press tonight. They threw a tear gas canister into the press last week. This was not an accident. Release Steve Held.

From everything I can find, it sounds like yes, Trump is at least heavily implying and encouraging the military to use deadly force against American citizens, residents, and others on American soil. I bet the Tuesday meeting of the generals is to inform them he’s declaring martial law.

We're all dunking on this post, but we really need to ask ourselves if we would do any better in his position. Would any of us do better? Would we? Yes. Yes, we would. We would *all* do better than this. My GOD

Border Patrol standing off with protesters, press and legal observers who are still here. Presuming many people are injured at this time, unsure how many detained in last attack. Hearing folks believe the earlier arrests were targeting some specific organizers, unclear on that at this time.
