You would think that the 8 GOP Senators who are SO OUTRAGED that Jack Smith subpoenaed their phone records that they want $1 million compensation would bring him in to testify IN A PUBLIC HEARING to explain why he did this. But no, they don’t want to do that. I wonder why?

Why did those farmers vote for Trump and “against their economic interests.” They didn't. They knew the tariffs were coming, but last time: * Trump “destroyed a lot of farm sales” but gave farmers a lot of “free money” to make up for it. youtu.be/badGHJLDpP8?...

More please!

We're continuing to report. Are you a current or former federal worker with information that you can share about Russell Vought? Reach out to our reporter @andykroll.bsky.social on Signal at (202) 215-6203.

I hope everyone notices that Trump is trying to normalize the idea of arresting political opponents for no reason (Trump attempted a coup in 2021 so miss me with the false equivalences)

If you haven't had a chance to watch Eric Holder and me discuss the Department of Justice, state of democracy and redistricting, I highly recommend it. Here you go. youtu.be/fperYGrBBA4

Great news!

A federal judge blocked the enforcement of President Trump’s executive order ending birthright citizenship Thursday. (via @nhpr.org)

Karen Bass (D), the Mayor of LA, broke up a huge ICE raid of over 100 agents and armored vehicles. You go, girl! Let's see more of this from other Mayors. www.rawstory.com/ice-26728696...

We need to tax the rich! Repost if you agree.

You can't make it up MAGA Congressman Derrick Van Orden-a huge supporter of the Big Ugly Bill Who published this repugnant post cheering the fact that the law would gut Medicaid and SNAP Is now BEGGING the Democratic governor of his state To save the very hospitals that he just voted to close

Demonstrators chant “Wrong Side of History” at the Marines outside the Federal Building here in DTLA

After years of litigation, the Wisconsin Supreme Court has ruled that the state's 176-year-old law does not ban abortion.

I will be chatting with the developer of the ICEBlock app on tomorrow's @dailybeanspod.com. Then later in the week, we'll speak to @rweingarten.bsky.social and @ejeancarroll.bsky.social. I'm really proud of our little independent podcast. I do hope you'll listen and subscribe!

Interdependence is a thing. Humans thrive on it.

I spent five years in Iran’s notorious Evin prison but when Israel bombed it I felt horror and fear. ‘If Evin taught me anything, it was that freedom does not come from bombs and brutality, nor from clever stunts for the cameras.’ www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Julie Spin-del strikes again to teach us all that we should never let facts stand in the way of a good story. She sets up a strawman #TeamIran consisting of one transwoman & 9 followers to argue that the Left is supporting Iranian regime cos' it opposes the bombing. www.thesun.co.uk/news/3553677...

I’m struck by how little coverage there’s been of this story, because it’s a big fucking deal. jessica.substack.com/p/judge-repe...

Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) introduced a war powers resolution on Monday that would block Trump from using military force against Iran without congressional approval.

We should've made a bigger national crisis of someone breaking into Nancy Pelosi's home & trying to kill her husband. But then, we should've made a bigger national crisis about hundreds of someones breaking into the Capitol & trying to steal an election. But then, we should've done lots of things.

Join @donlemonofficial.bsky.social @jimacosta.bsky.social and me tomorrow, LIVE from 3-6 p.m. for LIVE simulcast coverage of the No Kings Day protests over a certain birthday military parade... youtube.com/live/jc4LiT8...

THANK YOU!

BREAKING: LA solidarity protesters in Austin are occupying JJ Pickle Federal Building, which houses local ICE processing center

If your first instinct to a community defending their friends, families, and neighbors from murderous fascists looking to kidnap them is to say, "Maybe they should be more polite about it," you're probably not on the side you think you are.

Thanks so much for posting this. I've been reminded of these parallels with Occupy seeing the reporting and also the "advice" from self-appointed scolds from more affluent social classes on how oppressed people ought to run their protests.

You cannot play director or choreographer for moments of organic mobilization. I'm sorry, but even someone who understands the dynamics of what's happening (which many of you clearly don't) cannot do that. This is raw political will. You cannot direct that energy from behind a fucking screen.

I ran an experiment, simultaneously posting articles on Bluesky and X, and then testing to see how many people actually clicked and read them. The numbers on Bluesky are higher, both because the X algorithm downranks journalism, and because Bluesky attracts readers, not just shitposters.

THANK-YOU, Rebecca! This so needs to be said and heard. @radiofreetom.bsky.social

I don’t think people should engage in violence and vandalism and I don’t think federal agents should provoke people to engage in violence and vandalism. Too many law enforcement officers sworn to protect and serve now look and act like they are in Fallujah.
