A memorable exchange with the great @hcrichardson.bsky.social on why fighting authoritarianism isn’t about the autocrat, but about the choices we make as communities to preserve our values and our humanity.

Still surprised by how affecting and nourishing it is. It centered me like few things have since 2023.

Now this is a review I’m excited about! Thank you @davekarpf.bsky.social

The Americans who’ve seen results in resistance Trump — from Minn. to Maine — have all operationalized the same principle: Make it cost them. Just as @andreapitzer.bsky.social has been saying for years on slowing camps. Like @chenoweth.bsky.social and @mariajstephan.bsky.social have long advised.

CHICAGO! Join me and @juliaangwin.com on Wednesday night for a grand ol’ time with @bencollins.bsky.social at the Mecca of American Democracy: The Onion HQ. Seriously—come! We want to see you and hang out and plot together for the future…!

NEW: Aurora Police say an ICE detention center employee shot a protester last night. She is expected to survive. 42-year-old Brandon Booth, who works for the ICE contractor GEO Group, is being held on suspicion of attempted second degree murder and other charges.

Idk man, something about the autocrat’s chief propagandist railing against the “deformed” people who are the enemy of the state is a little on the nose for my taste

HAMMACK: “.. For the first time in my tenure, I’m hearing from businesses who say they think we need to take action to curb inflation, and from consumers who can’t make ends meet about a growing sense of despair." @colbylsmith.bsky.social

Rep. Himes: "The president was setting the basis for him to turn around on election night and say, 'I warned you that the Chinese were doing x, y, and z. It happened tonight. I'm deploying federal officers from DHS to 7 states. They will be seizing ballot boxes.'"

Wow! We made the NYT bestseller list for the second consecutive week. I am so gratified and moved that ON COURAGE is reaching people all over the country. I hope it gives you a little more strength to fight for justice and a heavy dose of inspiration. www.harpercollins.com/products/on-...

A word on Trump’s expected speech tonight. To successfully undermine U.S. elections, Trump is relying on the compliance of institutions. If he does what’s been reported, we can do something about that. Spread the word.

HRDAG's Patrick Ball is featured in the new book On Courage by @juliaangwin.com and @fieldsmeyer.com. Ball talks about the power of data science to deliver accountability in an era of state violence and crime.

Thank you for this book, and for your service. I’m in the middle of the audiobook now (narrated by Rachel Maddow)

“The Nightmare Is Repeating Itself”: Filmmaker Julia Steers on Sudan War from El Fasher to El Obeid www.democracynow.org/2026/7/8...

ICE has killed another person, this time by depriving him of life-sustaining medication for a known medical condition. Jesus Manuel Arenas-Silva was detained on Thursday. He was dead by Monday. Per @detentionwatchnetwork.org:

HOMAN: Vehicle attacks are up 3,400% COLLINS: But DHS didn't say he was trying to hit them with their vehicle. They said he was fleeing the scene and they feared for public safety HOMAN: Look, I can't speak to what DHS says

Never get used to this

New York has become the first US state to enforce a data center moratorium, as governor Kathy Hochul signed an executive order today to pause construction for one year.

* MEXICO HAS FILED CRIMINAL COMPLAINTS WITH STATE PROSECUTORS IN U.S. OVER DEATHS OF CITIZENS IN IMMIGRATION CUSTODY -- STATEMENT * MEXICAN GOVERNMENT HAS ALSO SENT CEASE-AND-DESIST LETTERS TO U.S. DETENTION CENTERS WHERE NATIONALS HAVE DIED -- STATEMENT @reuters.com

Do not fall for this, @durbin.senate.gov.

Civil resistance works

#EyesOnElObeid The world let Al Fasher be massacred in the tens of thousands late last year. Now another city is surrounded by the same murderous thugs, and we're just sitting around. Water pumping stations bombed by RSF. Over half a million people in the city. www.france24.com/en/sudan-el-...

Listen to @marisakabas.bsky.social

Fire Stephen Miller

Rep. Yassamin Ansari: "The president's paramilitary secret police force continues to roam American streets and murder people in broad daylight in cold blood…It is not a mistake. ICE agents are completely out of control, and that is on purpose. That is their mission."

New York to impose the country’s first statewide moratorium on data centers.

People of science! Join us today!

New w @pamherd.bsky.social: Mamdani just announced PIT Crew — an NYC tech unit that will build digital public products. Takeaway: Mamdani is reclaiming a vision of tech in govt for progressives, one not driven by consultants and which solves real problems. 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/mamdani-in...

Autocrats are shifting from bullets to budgets. Julia Angwin (Shorenstein Center Rosenthal Writer-in-Residence, fall 2025) and Ami Fields-Meyer on the financial threats to journalists, from their book “On Courage.” shorensteincenter.org/resource/aut...

ICE killed a person they weren't even looking for AGAIN. Second time in the past week.

He’s going to announce some bullshit about foreign election interference in the 2020 election on Thursday. Probably so he can attempt to interfere in this year’s election.

They just keep killing people and lying about it. Everybody involved in this criminal organization needs to be prosecuted.
