Trump and Hegseth have been committing murder on the high seas. They must be held accountable. The Medina family and all others devastated by these lawless #boatkillings deserve justice. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/d...

With all the problems facing our country, Congress shouldn't have time to delist wolves from US safeguards. It should focus on REAL issues like jobs, health & climate. Wolves support healthy ecosystems and local tourism. #NoHR845 #ProtectEndangeredSpecies @pressley.house.gov app.sosha.ai/s/z6P9zEkM

Tell your MA legislators: Rep. Cusack's attempt to "adjust to reality" by rolling back #climate standards would surrender to Trump & harm & dishonor our state. @theclf.bsky.social @mothersoutfront.org @votesteveowens.bsky.social @senatormikebarrett.bsky.social commonwealthbeacon.org/energy/house...

AOC: “We have a future to plan for, we have a future to fight for, and we’re either gonna do that together or you’re going to be left behind… This is about: do you understand the assignment of fighting fascism right now, and the assignment is to come together across difference no matter what.”

Maybe dumping poop on voters from an airplane is not a surefire electoral strategy

"This is not drug enforcement. This is murder." monacharen.bsky.social Mona Charen is a lifelong conservative. “I don’t think we’re necessarily going to ask for a declaration of war. I think we’re just gonna kill people . . . They’re going to be, like, dead.”--Donald Trump #boatmurders

Alarming but not suprising. On twelve markers of authoritarianism and "democractic erosion" identified by scholars, Donald Trump is . . . 12 for 12. #DefendDemocracy @aclu.org @moveon.org @indivisible.org @50501movement.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

"nearly half..." ??? it's an open book test. www.nbcnews.com/politics/imm...

A picture really is worth a thousand words, isn't it? POTUS was taking a wrecking ball to democracy, but now he's literally tearing down the White House. May it disgust enough voters that we throw out his enablers and sycophants in '26 and '28. #DefendDemocracy #RebuildTheWhiteHouse #EastWing

This is extrajudicial murder. It is illegal and unethical. And it is a pathetic use of American military force, demonstrating not strength but weakness.

Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"

"When asked whether the president had a comment on the demonstrations, Abigail Jackson, a White House spokeswoman, gave a brief response in an email. 'Who cares?' she said." @nytimes.com 10/19/25 This is why we say #NoKings.

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

"I hear very few people are gonna be there" -- Donald Trump, 10/15/25

So no terrorism then?

"This Court has listened carefully to the reasons given by Öztürk’s captors for masking-up and has heard the same reasons advanced by ... ICE. It rejects this testimony as disingenuous, squalid and dishonorable. ICE goes masked for a single reason—to terrorize Americans into quiescence."

In a stinging rebuke, US District Judge William Young, a Reagan appointee, rules the Trump administration’s campaign to arrest and deport international students for pro-Palestinian activism a “truly scandalous and unconstitutional suppression of #FreeSpeech” @aclu.org #RumeysaOzturk wapo.st/4pPUT5I

At the UN today Trump called climate change the ‘greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world.’ Congrats to the clever plotters for enlisting the planet’s glaciers, oceans and forests in their scheme.

I'm torn between horror at Mr. Trump's careening malice and embarassment for my country on the world stage. #TrumpUN

Here is my best guidance, rendered beautifully by the great John Lithgow. I first published these lessons nearly nine years ago, in late 2016. They open the twenty chapters of "On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century." snyder.substack.com/p/twenty-les...

@jimmykimmel.com disparaged neither Charlie Kirk nor Tyler Robinson. He disparaged MAGA for trying to score political points off a tragedy. This is government censorship by bullying. Shame on Brendan Carr & the FCC--and on ABC for capitulating. #FirstAmendment www.nytimes.com/2025/09/17/b...

Trump's erasure of #BlackHistory can't remove the stain of slavery. It will only make Americans more ignorant of our shared and complicated past--and less able to understand the present. @protectparks.bsky.social @profjeffries.bsky.social @nhannahjones.bsky.social @altnps.bsky.social wapo.st/4mnNDLt

Beloved Salem MA community leader Blanca Martinez has again been ordered to report to #ICE HQ in Burlington, where she risks immediate detention.

"Murder has been committed." This was not a military operation. It was an extra-judicial killing for political purposes. Trump has blood on his hands and an insatiable appetite for power. Will Congress hold him accountable? #DefendDemocracy #RuleOfLaw #NoKings www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

#CharlieKirk did not respect the inherent worth & dignity of every person. But by this failure he could not and did not forfeit his own. May his spirit learn the lessons of this lifetime & find peace. And may we rededicate ourselves to nonviolence of word & deed. www.commondreams.org/opinion/char...

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city. This is not a joke. This is not normal. Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

This is 100% correct.

On Labor Day, Prayers for Liberty, an interfaith group dedicated to democracy, due process & human rights, will walk from Lexington to Boston to bear witness against growing authoritarianism. Join us for any portion of the walk or at stops along the way! #DefendDemocracy www.prayersforliberty.org

Newsom: He is a failed president. Who else sends ICE at the same time while having a conversation like this? Someone who is weak, broken. His weakness is masquerading as a strength. The most unpopular president in modern history.

Dear friends in the Boston area: Wondering what any of us in a blue state can do to resist the tidal wave of willful cruelty? Please wake up early and join me in Burlington tomorrow morning. #LoveThyNeighbor. P.S. Everyone is thy neighbor.--God

In these terrible times, I needed this story. Having sipped Yafa's exquisite Chai Karak and experienced Abdulla Awad's ebullient hospitality, I was especially moved by Lydia Begag's heartfelt narrative. The tale of the souvenir check brought tears to my eyes. Thank you WBUR & @cogwbur.bsky.social

If you're stunned by @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social's victory in NYC last night, check out this video of his 13-mile walk through Manhattan last Friday. Besides helping explain his success, it might (if you're like me) also bring tears of hope and possibility. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5e6...

In exchange for testimony against Abrego Garcia, DOJ promised leniency to a twice-convicted felon & domestic smuggler deported 5 times, deferring his deportation & granting him early release. As Pam Bondi says, “This is what American justice looks like.” @aclu.org www.nytimes.com/2025/06/24/u...

Judge Farbiarz: Keeping #MahmoudKhalil detained when he's not a flight risk or a danger to the community is “highly, highly, highly unusual." He has a credible claim that he's being punished for his activism. “And of course that would be unconstitutional.” @aclu.org #DueProcess4All wapo.st/4kKNTUJ
