Went for a walk in West Hollywood today (voting-wise, we don’t get a say, but surrounded by LA)…biggest danger to me was white (appearing) women driving luxury SUVs almost running me down in crosswalks. Some clearly holding phones. Wonder what his plan is for that?… #anyonebutprlatt #lamayor

…hmmm, makes me think of NJ-05 Rep Josh Gottheimer. Not on BlueSky still on cesspool. #nj05deservesbetter #gottheimer #nottheimer #jino #dino #jersey #beabrucenotajosh #joshheartsmarkwaynemorethanhisconstituents

"To paraphrase Nathan Hale, I only regret that we have but one seat to take from the Democrats." This is what Democrats are facing. Any Dem who favors bipartisanship over maximalist opposition is either lost and worthy of replacement or a Republican sympathizer.

Hours later, LAPD just arrested Weston Rowland, an attorney who is involved in the LA press club lawsuit against LAPD for violating press rights. Cc @adamrose.bsky.social @westonrowland.bsky.social

The amount of misinformation we’re getting about an incident that just occurred in front of 1,500 news reporters is truly the metaphor of our generation.

What I like is that so many of them are clearly the right analogues for those Doctors. Farr and Levy don't really match 5 and 9, and Epps is much older and more serious than Gatwa as 15. But on the whole, very nicely done.

Effective 2025 federal tax rates paid by these corporations: Alphabet: 8.01% AT&T: 4.6% Meta: 3.57% General Motors: 3.09% Amazon: 1.37% Exxon Mobil: 1.31% Disney: -1.57% CVS Health: -3.88% Income tax rate paid by the typical American: 14.5% This is what a rigged system looks like.

Have been wondering when candidates would start talking about this. One of the biggest corruption scandals is U.S. history playing out in real time.

And Obama was president for twice as long.

Gonzalez at the least but don't sleep on how badly Cory Mills deserves to be booted from Congress! www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

This is how Bruce Springsteen opened his concert in Los Angeles last night. 🔥🔥 Footage from @margaret_nagle on Threads.

Remember when we used to have experienced seasoned diplomats with decades of knowledge and experience in a specific region involved in sensitive and complex negotiations with other countries over important details? Seems like a better plan than Vance, Witkoff and Kushner.

Dear international friends, Do not travel to the United States this summer for the World Cup. It isn't safe for us, and it's absolutely not safe for you. Sincerely, An American citizen

Great call. It’s not like we’re hosting the World Cup

There is no excuse for downplaying or eliding the insanity of Trump’s morning post. It is the most unhinged public comment by a president in US history and should be reported and remarked upon as such.

And a lot of people, many in positions of power, did a lot of things to cover it up and silence those women. For years. Just so we’re all clear, for the millionth time, he wasn’t sorry and he didn’t have consent. Anyway. Glad that’s all over and stuff like that never happens anymore. 🤡

may this define her for the rest of her life. she was willing to stoop this low and still got fired. girl, bye.

Today almost everything legit I see could easily have been a past #AprilFools . Oy.

Mike Pence got totally owned here: Jewish plaintiffs won a ruling against Indiana's abortion ban, using the law he signed 11 years ago as governor to help evangelicals refuse to cater gay weddings and such. Now similar challenges could win in other red states. We tell the story at @forward.com.

It's Trans Day of Visibility today. If you're trans and are raising money for something (I don't care what it is), reply to this thread and I will boost you. If you are a cis person, take a look and find someone to support if you can. Everyone give this a share after.

Walz: The president said it's a bunch of radicals. You're damn right we've been radicalized. Radicalized by compassion, radicalized by decency, radicalized by due process, radicalized by democracy.

Springsteen: Well, this past winter federal troops brought death and terror to the streets of Minneapolis. They picked the wrong city. Your strength and your commitment told us that this is still America. And this reactionary nightmare and these invasions of American cities will not stand.

Trump could have done this on Day 1 and TSA agents could’ve been paid all along. But he and Republicans devised a plan that they were going to leverage airport chaos to get Democrats to cave. It was a coordinated campaign with Fox. They used TSA and travelers as political pawns.

NEWS: Bette Midler just released a remake of Woody Guthrie’s classic protest song “All You Fascists Bound to Lose,” updated to fit the current moment and urge action ahead of the midterms. You have to listen to this.

We tried to get funding to TSA workers SEVEN times. Republicans blocked them all. Don’t let them tell you this isn’t their fault.

To be clear, ICE agents are still being paid. TSA agents are not. A gut punch for these folks who have to work under this reality. 📌 Senate Dems tried 7 times to pass standalone funding bills specifically for TSA pay and operations during the partial DHS shutdown. Republicans blocked each attempt.

This is how a President should respond.

a government for abusive men, by abusive men

As someone who splits time between NJ & CA I’m proud to say I am not a constituent of the guy who, yesterday, sat behind a guy who hid on 1.6.21 While Springsteen is everything to be proud of to be from Jersey, Josh is the opposite. #beabrucenotajosh #nj05deservesbetterthanjosh

This isn’t moderation. It’s how to enable more ICE funding, more power, and less accountability. And our families and communities pay the price. NJ deserves better.

Really reassuring to see Rep Gottheimer reading the room… and doing the opposite. Nothing says standing up for your constituents like backing DHS nominee Mullin front and center.

#RepJoshGottheimer is the scourge of #NJ. #NJD5 has had more than enough of you. #gottheimer #joshgottheimer #tonedeaf #worthless #magawannabe #congress

Folks, you do NOT have to give credit to the "Jews are the problem" dude who resigned today. He resigned because he sees conspiracies everywhere and he blames Jews for everything. This is someone that Trump put in charge of the NCTC.

I wrote about how the Trump administration is using legitimate fears of security and safety at a time of rising antisemitism to try to turn the historically liberal American Jewish community to the political right. forward.com/opinion/8126...

1. WTF? 2. Jews don’t believe it will be a “return.” They’re waiting for the first visit. He’s pandering to Christians. 3. WTF?????

So…”give me the people I can control who can’t see how I’m ruining everything…I tear down the rest” is my interpretation of this as an observant, educated, empathetic person. Oy.

It’s cool that this generation gets to find out the answer to “what would you have done when we started interning the Japanese?” and “what would you have done when we invaded Vietnam?” and “what would you have done in Watergate?” all at the same time.

There are a lot of posts out there with the close-up visual of Markwayne Mullin on January 6, but this is a better perspective. He’s not protecting others; he’s protecting himself and hiding. You can see plenty of people at the entry door, ready to take on the insurrectionists, but not Markwayne.

- cancel all EOs - fire political appointees - strip clearances - appoint special prosecutor for DHS - hire a zillion IGs - investigate and prosecute crimes - investigate and refer policy violations for disciplinary action - recode ICE and CBP jobs out of 1811 series - revert name changes

This is honestly one of the most anti-Jewish things I’ve ever seen from the United States government.

NJ-05…this shows voices matter but you deserve a rep that doesn’t need to be cagey or begged to represent their constituents’ interests.

I’m not a resident of NJ-05 but spend a lot of time there caregiving…PLEASE someone. If I was a resident I would register. One vote doesn’t let Josh off the hook. #nj05 #nj05deservesbetterthanjosh

Boo Inter Miami. Players have a choice, and this shows what side of history they’re on!!! Most are Latinos and I can’t believe they went. This would be the perfect time to use their platform to stand up for all immigrants.

This is dangerous, embarrassing and mostly scary as someone who knows Americans stuck in these countries.

We did this By choice 😔 www.theguardian.com/global-devel...
