HBD MLK 🎂

On MLK Day, it’s important to remember why MLK Jr. was in Memphis when he was assassinated. He was there to support Black sanitation workers striking for better working conditions and higher wages. This, for me, a critical moment in the emergence of the environmental justice movement.

if your congressmen votes to fund this, they should lose their job

Just being kind and friendly to the random people I meet in the world feels like a meaningful action right now. I’m holding the door, asking them how their day is going, letting them go before me, waving thanks, wishing them a good night.

New: I went to Minneapolis and saw a brutal federal occupation. I also saw neighbors fighting back. www.huffpost.com/entry/minnea...

The cross over from X to this place is really noticeable now. Poor old and tired Elon, he and his bffs burn all that money buying Twitter just for MAGA informational warfare at volume 11 and he screws everything up and craters the brand. The cybertruck of social media goes down.

The Insurrection Act is not "martial law." It doesn't displace civilian law, it doesn't suspend habeas corpus, it doesn't alter or suspend state and local government, and it doesn't make anything newly illegal. It allows using the military to enforce existing law, it doesn't change what the law is.

Appealing to the better nature of a man who has no better nature doesn’t seem like a tactic that will have a chance in hell of succeeding. I expect a more effectual tactic from someone who wrote his Master’s thesis on “Holocaust and genocide education” @governorwalz.mn.gov

Resistance is not futile.... it is necessary 👇

The Twin Cities are still occupied, and we're still documenting the invasion.

This is what they’ve wanted all along. This is the goal.

Shame on every member of Congress who won't make this stop

Non-protesting dad just trying to hustle his kids, as young as 6mo, out of the neighborhood. ICE threw a flash-bang INTO HIS car, all 6 kids in the hospital now. If anyone wondered how things turn against occupying armies there's a case study playing out in front of you.

I just left Twitter before Elon's shady new terms and conditions kick in at midnight. Look like it's finally popping over here on Bluesky, and I love to see it. It's nice to be back. Oh and ... FUCK ICE.

New: Google has chosen a side in Trump's mass deportation campaign. Google is hosting a CBP facial recognition app to hunt immigrants; no indication Google will remove. At same time Google takes down apps for reporting ICE sightings “Big tech has made their choice” www.404media.co/google-has-c...

“I've been trying to place where I've heard this same rhetoric [from the NYC mayoral race] before, and it finally hit me this weekend – this is exactly what southern whites said when the first wave of African American mayors took power.” from @kevinmkruse.bsky.social

The Nobel Peace Prize should be awarded to Greta Thunberg & the participants of the Sumud Flotilla for being able to break the genocidal Israeli blockade after 19 years and for successfully promoting human rights and international law by putting their lives at risk. @nobelprize.bsky.social

Please support these precious children in Gaza if you can. 🙏🏼

unfortunately, you need to be more specific

I actually think zohran is exactly what our country needs right now. Some sign of fucking life and empathy.

Cuomo is a has-been creep, a largely incompetent man who trafficked on his father’s name to build a career, but proved to have absolutely nothing at his core but entitlement - sexual and political. The forces that drive him forward at the same ones that have propelled our nation towards disaster

There really is something special about what Zohran and Brad are showing the rest of the world what it still means to be a New Yorker and an American. A Jew and a Muslim modeling a politics of mutual respect, rejecting cynicism. Human decency has been taking a beating but she's not out just yet!

He fucking did it!!!!!!!!!

There isn’t a single international student that hates the US as much as Trump does.

Boy, Pam Bondi is real fucking quiet about political assassinations after being real quick to make statements about burning Teslas.

👀👀

Love this piece from @anildash.com whose cred, integrity, and vision at the intersection of tech, politics and culture are exactly what the world needs now - more than ever.

Free him now.

The storied @washingtonpost.com continues its pathetic dissent into craven obsequious fawning.

Rest In Peace Ananda Lewis. Gone way too soon. 💔🕊️

So it begins. Discussions are underway within the administration, and Pentagon, about deploying National Guard or active-duty troops to cities beyond Los Angeles. We’ll be sending updated guidance to all coalition members. Please follow every step, even if some sections seem irrelevant right now.

Karen Bass: "On Saturday night, the president tweeted that 'because of the great work of the National Guard, the protests & the violence was curtailed.' The National Guard wasn't even here. They didn't even arrive until the next day. That's why it's very hard to not see this as a stunt or test case"

Jameela Jamil is soooo right, because why is MAGA so concerned about protecting women and girls from "men disguised as women" in bathrooms but not at all concerned about the danger of unidentified masked men forcing women and children into unmarked vehicles all across America?

America has never been broke. It’s just violently anti-poor. Troops in LA cost $134M — the price of 44 million school lunches. But sure, let’s keep pretending the issue is lazy parents and not a government that eats kids for breakfast.

We had 15 arrests in Chicago yesterday. Wherever you are, if you support the protests, please do what you can to support arrestees. Many thanks to the NLG for watching our backs in the streets here. ❤️

BREAKING: please, everyone, turn on local news. there is NOTHING going on in LA. Its over, the protest broke up hours ago. Local news helicopters are trolling for trouble and there's none. Just some LAPD/LASD road blocks. If they 'send the Guard' now, its just because they really really want to.

Darkness precedes dawn.

25% tax on Apple products while singling out the CEO by name for retribution, 50% tax on European goods, expulsion of foreign students, bill passed with most debt in history, while hosting a dinner for people who gave you $300+ million. All in the last 24 hours. The Golden Age.

Imagine how we would view this if it was happening in another country

Damn straight. It’s time for lawyers everywhere to stand up. And they are. “‘If you’re not used to fighting, and losing battles, then don’t become a lawyer,’ she said. ‘Our job is to stand up for people who can’t do it themselves.’” www.nytimes.com/2025/05/09/u...

this is about me

wait, what??

Abolish ICE doesn't sound too radical now does it?

This seems ... bad.
