When the Democrats take over, they should not abolish ICE. (Of course they should immediately fire everyone who currently works there.) They rebuild and re-brand. ICE becomes NICE, the National Immigration & Customs Enforcement. You know, the ones who follow the law.

Today’s action in Concord CA

I know antifa isn't a real organization because I don't get 40 texts a week from them asking for donations.

Isn’t it time for a general strike?

This isn't just a political claim, it's an empirical one. If "the problem is not guns" then we shouldn't see any correlation between gun ownership and oh wait platform.vox.com/wp-content/u...

Kristi Noem: "Kilmar Abrego Garcia... is an MS-13 gang member, human trafficker, serial domestic abuser, and child predator" Excuse me? Can a govt official openly accuse a person of unproven, uncharged crimes? Libel, slander? Should be a crime.

"Aging hippies"? Maybe, but we're Footsoldiers of Freedom. Even with fewer demonstrators, motorist response is stronger than ever! In an hour, with 1000s of cars, only 4 thumbs down & 1 middle finger. Meanwhile, joy & gratitude in the faces of 100s of passersby enthusiastically honking & waving.

Wow! As good as President Lisa Simpson taking over from President Trump on the Simpsons

As the powerful continue to capitulate, it becomes more important for the rest of us to speak out loudly

Prominent historian cancels course at Columbia University over Trump deal - The Guardian I studied under Edward Said at Columbia, and this honors his memory. @ericholder.bsky.social where are you??

Salman Rushdie on what people often misunderstand about “Slaughterhouse-Five” and its refrain, “So it goes.”

From Robert Kuttner at the American Prospect: "Columbia... has played a weak hand badly at every stage of this entire saga." @ericholder.bsky.social @barackobama.bsky.social Why are you silent? Roar, lions, roar!

@ericholder.bsky.social @barackobama.bsky.social I am so ashamed of our Alma mater. Why won’t high profile alumni like you speak up???

Is anyone getting that sneaking feeling we’re about to find out why the power brokers put so much money behind JD Vance being VP?

@schiff.senate.gov I’m a constituent. I’m Jewish. I’m beyond embarrassed and disappointed. I voted for you. How can you give cover to this evil man???

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?

America is beautiful, contradictory, unfinished. I am proud of our country even as we constantly strive to make it better, to protect and deepen our democracy, to fulfill its promise for each and every person who calls it home. Happy Independence Day. No Kings in America.

Yes. Let the GOP own it forever.

Republicans don’t care about you. (h/t @thedemocrats on IG)

Joyous Resistance Walnut Creek! Demonstrators skewed older again, but enthusiasm remains unabated! Lots of honking, thumbs-up, resistance fists - bus drivers, truck drivers, even Teslas. Only a few middle fingers, with one masked passenger in a Cybertruck taking videos for Kash's FBI no doubt.
