the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

To Donald Trump: Stop using military troops and ICE to invade and disrupt American cities. Stop calling your political opponents “enemies” of the US. Stop attacking the 1st Amendment. Our troops and our nation deserve better than you acting as a petty tyrant.

Donald Trump's militarization of our city streets isn't about fighting crime or public safety — it's about consolidating power in his hands. What he plans to do with that, now or during the 2026 elections, should worry all of us.

oh wow i LOVED this. Whether you watched the Klein/Coates convo or not (and i think you should), this is worth checking out.

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

Let's hope so. Their duty is to the country & Constitution *first*.

I really don't want to get on Dems too much, but I can't help looking at Chuck Schumer & Hakeem Jeffries and think that they're wholly unsuited to meet the moment. This isn't normal politics. You’re the resistance to a fascist regime and if you can't do it, step aside.

This about covers it.

If you only read one 🧵 today, make it this 🧵.

May I recommend the art of Mincing Mockingbird? I have this on my laptop

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Moldova reports that several polling stations in Europe have received bomb threats. This scenario had been anticipated and is considered “part of the Russian Federation’s assault on the electoral process in the Republic of Moldova.” 1/2

Of course, hell awaits me. I’m the 🚌 bus driver. 🤷‍♂️ Fuck haters

The UK everyone....speaking truth

This weak, brazen attempt by Stephen Miller both to chill free speech and to set up a premise to criminalize it — and, to be clear, this is the very type of speech most central to First Amendment protections — would be laughably embarrassing if this man did not have the power that he has.

I hear the President has decreed that it is possibly a crime to refer to Americans as "fascists," but "fascism" is a word that has a relatively clear meaning that's worth understanding. Here's how an official publication of the US Army defined "fascism" in 1945.

Yyyyyyyyup...

Got my flu and covid shots yesterday afternoon! Had a rough night's sleep with some body aches but feeling back to normal now. Ready for an insane month of travel and meeting thousands of people...!

Semi-regular reminder that a sane country would have already impeached and removed. But then again a sane country wouldn’t have elected a maniac criminal twice in the first place.

You cannot trust information coming from Kash Patel's FBI. You cannot trust information coming from ICE. You cannot trust information coming the Trump administration. You cannot trust information coming from Republicans.

When the Right lies about the Left, it's called "Free Speech" but when the Left tells the truth about the Right, it's called "Inciting Violence."
