god damn he's cooking

Birthright citizenship is a Constitutional RIGHT. Any attack on it is an attack on us all. This is an attempt by far-right justices to attack immigrant communities and remove protections from any American who questions Trump. Your rights are nonnegotiable. We can’t compromise on that basic fact.

The best way to reduce the cost of Medicaid is to name and shame big employers that pay their full time employees so little, they qualify for Medicaid

people get annoyed when you talk about it but a big factor in zohran's success is that he's stupidly charismatic and that's actually a pretty important thing to pay attention to in candidates people like to vote for charming people! run more charming people!

Where’s #romancelandia #sportsromance at? re: @emilyrathauthor’s excellent post when she said the # 2 bestselling sport rom = COWBOY rom: (Asking sincere Q bc my jaw is on the floor) #Cowboy rom like beef, cattle drives, and ranches, or #rodeo as a sport rom, like bull riders & team ropers?

I think you are lying

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

leftists: that thing you teach us in school to be terrified of is happening historians: that thing is definitely happening star wars: here is a beat-for-beat breakdown of how the thing happens, but with pew pew lasers. we know you watched it news outlets: these protesters are out of control

If you're out protesting, please photograph and document ICE agents. They are building a database of confirmed ICE agents. Help them and spread this message crustiandaily.com/ice-list/

“That was when they noticed that every musician on the stage was wearing mourning black.” The revolution always starts with the artists. History has its eyes on you. #Hamilton #ThroneofGlass #SJM #booksky #theatersky #tonys2025

the fact that people were told “today you are going to an elementary school to lie to teachers and kidnap kids” and didn’t immediately tell their bosses to go fuck themselves is all you need to know about why ICE should be dismantled

It's hard to overstate how destructive the reflexive "this is a distraction!" stuff that politicians and commentators and people are always peddling. Everything is happening all at once. That's how authoritarianism works. If you can't navigate and synthesize this, you're not meeting the moment.

The rule of law is under attack. Every day it withers.

Authoritarians love corruption and fear accountability. The arrest of long-time human rights defender Ruth López is another chilling attack on democracy by Bukele’s regime. Free Ruth NOW.

In the last 20 or so minutes I’ve seen LAPD officers shove women to the ground without provocation, rip a sign out of a man’s hand and then swing a baton into his leg and raise a less-lethal launcher to aim directly at a protester (which I’m 99% is a major policy violation.)

True story bro.

The Los Angeles Police Department has stated that demonstrations in the city have remained peaceful. Let that sink in.

The situation in Los Angeles is about to plunge us into a national emergency, except the people that normally solve national emergencies are the ones creating it.

The military isn’t being employed to carry out an immigration policy. The immigration policy, and especially the way the administration is choosing to carry it out, is an excuse to call out the military.

LAPD helicopters are starting to buzz around again tonight. LAPD statements so far are vague and riddled with lawyer-speak, and our Mayor should order the police chief to provide full & live transparency regarding LAPD operations.

Right on cue

Of course the LA Times makes it look like a full on riot instead of showing that the mostly peaceful protesters were literally and constantly assaulted by ICE agents. The majority of fires that were started weren’t by the public but by ICE firing into the crowds and canisters starting fires. 🧵

Here are some texts I got from an immigration lawyer friend of mine. Shared with permission. Some of the bleakest shit I’ve ever heard.

Melon: time to drop the really big bomb - was Starlink used to manipulate the 2024 election?

He has a name folks. Be sure to push the America Party to all the MAGAs on Team Elon.

🚨NEW: @cbsnews.com reports ICE is arresting people who can't even legally be deported and holding them without enough food or water in a federal building BASEMENT in Los Angeles. Families dutifully attending check-ins with ICE are being arrested and held for days, forced to sleep on the floor.

San Diego neighborhood makes ICE agents retreat

Here is my personal philosophy, based on several decades of watching publishers go under: the moment a publisher is late on money because they don't have it, they are the enemy and your goal is to get your rights back.

Hey! JFYI, yes, the FDA has limited Covid vaccines to people who are aged 65+ and who have any of the following conditions. if you tell your pharmacist that you have any of the below conditions, roll up your sleeve!

Book deals and insider trading are bribery.

last repost: Author and reader friends, vague laws about pornography are absolutely going to be used to drive the removal and banning of LGBTQIA+ books, so just be aware of them and don't write them off as unrelated to what's happening in book banning cases.

At a time when journalistic freedom is in danger, it’s never been more important to reaffirm and solidify the First Amendment. On this World Press Freedom Day, let’s defend and celebrate—not denigrate and deny—the freedom of the press.

Is the DNC not on Bluesky? I tried to search but couldn’t find them. @dncstaffunion.bsky.social is all I found. Anybody?

yeah i am pretty much on the side of primary everyone

To call Francis “the peoples pope“ implies that the Catholic Church knows that previous popes weren’t that into people

Pam Bondi says ICE agents can enter ANYBODY’S home without a warrant to find “illegals.” Baby girl fuck you. Grown men are NOT coming into my house looking for a goddamn thing. I’ll sue you bitches to the STRATOSPHERE Signed, Someone who already sued the Dept. of Corrections and won.

Donald Trump isn’t just illegally removing U.S. citizens from the country without due process. He’s illegally removing U.S. citizens who are literal children undergoing care for cancer. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

I have two things to say about the judge being arrested by the FBI. 1. Obstructing immigration is illegal but also morally correct. 2. I don’t believe a word the FBI or ICE says. They are lying. The judge is innocent.
