This chimes with what I remember and experience of Ohio, right down to themes of and anecdotes about local news and social mobility that I tried to handle in "On Freedom." The essay is wonderful and I am liking forward to reading "Paper Girl." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

There are many good science fiction novels. Not a single one that I have read delivers a happy vision of the future in which aged right-wing billionaires control the media.

A person worth knowing about

American parents, please ignore Trump’s recent reiteration of nonsense about Tylenol and vaccines, as well as anything the man ever says about the health of your children. Please talk with your medical professionals.

I'm so excited

⚠️WOKE CONTENT⚠️ 🧵 As a response to the 1967 Detroit Riot, a controversial police unit known as STRESS (Stop the Robberies Engage Safe Streets) was establised that targeted Black people.(cont) #ProudBlue #ResistanceRoots #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory newrepublic.com/article/1417...

Poor guy

Every! WORD!! 🗣️🗣️🗣️ The people are waking up. There’s is POWER in our numbers. Together, we have massive wealth. Use it! Stand up! America doesn’t do fascism. It’s not too late. 🙏 @xennialfarmer.bsky.social

Truth..

Velveeta Jesus, the Cabinet of Ghouls, & GOP House & Senate #GOP #GOPShutdown ##TrumpShutdown

FOLLOW THE MONEY!!

These ghouls have NO SHAME

Please educate them, please I beg of you...

Here’s your America First Here’s your Make America Great Again WIC and SNAP funding will end. This isn’t a “problem”..this is going to be a FAMINE. Let that sink in.

It "took time". I highly doubt we ever will be what Auschwitz became. But pay attention America. It is a slippery slope that can surprise you as the steps increase in that direction, and many bad things can happen along the way. Learn from history so that we don't repeat it.

There’s always a tweet/truth or whatever you want to call it.

1. Release the Epstein files! 2. The Epstein files are sitting on my desk and I will release them very soon 3. There are no Epstein files and the case is closed 4. There are Epstein files but they are forgeries created by Obama and Hillary so if you like me you will never talk about them again

.@realDonaldTrump is ignorant about countless things. Perhaps foremost among them is the Streisand Effect.

BREAKING: Judge rules that during its large-scale enforcement operation in LA, DHS/ICE has been arresting people without probable cause -- based on factors like accent and line of work. She orders the agencies to stop. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

When does the “golden age” start?

"The Constitution, of course, grants Congress no express power to strip people of their citizenship, whether, in the exercise of the implied power to regulate foreign affairs or in the exercise of any specifically granted power." - Afroyim v. Rusk, 387 U.S. 253 (1967).

It will never be comprehensible or forgivable that the man who incited a deadly insurrection and attack on our Capitol was able to run again and retake the levers of power.

Glad to see things like this.

Let’s put this to bed.

Another ICE "assault" case unravels. Border Patrol and ICE are arresting US citizens and then after they find out that they are US citizens, they are charging them with "assault" to justify their actions. This is clearly DHS policy at this point. We've seen it repeatedly now.

In April, U.S.-made bombs destroyed a detention facility that held Ethiopian migrants in Yemen, crushing bodies and shredding limbs. Few answers have emerged, and the U.S. has not claimed responsibility. Amid official silence, the survivors are left wondering why.

Eerily familiar

We are paying dearly for the absence of civics education.

I know I'm weird 🙃

Shame on Florida

so gross

What if they just talked about his eyes?

Kim: I'm very concerned that if a hurricane hits, are we going to have to be begging Kristi Noem to be able to get off Instagram, to be able to actually go and do her job

Trump’s America.

I think it would be good to get some women in charge of the countries that have nuclear weapons. Women talk to each other. Women can be reasonable. Enough with the macho men and swinging dicks.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but “I was only following orders” was rejected as a defense at the Nuremberg Trials.

Manhandling a sitting US Senator is just the latest in a series of authoritarian moves by this Administration…Silencing your opposition from even asking a question. They do this shit because they think they can get away with it. Be mad. Be outraged. Demand accountability.

Not taking anything away from Senator Padilla because he was treated atrociously But I JUST want to remind everyone that the Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Black woman, was just indicted for just asking questions at an ICE detention center in her state Keep that same energy of support for her

Any President whose goons tackles, forcibly remove, and handcuffs a sitting U.S. Senator – on camera in broad daylight – will do anything to any one of us behind closed doors.

Thank you Senator Booker.❤️

Booker: He was made to kneel before the authority of the executive… They treated a member of the United States senate violently after he identified himself, dragged him out of a room, threw him upon the ground, and put him in handcuffs
