Can you imagine your child being shot in school, and having the worst day of your life *overshadowed* by a different shooting, whose aftermath somehow will be leveraged to make it more likely more shootings will occur in the future?

This EO is the culmination of bipartisan efforts at the state level (including blue states like CA) to persecute and criminalize people who are homeless by busting up their camps, impounding their vehicles, wrecking their homes, and chasing them deeper into danger

Nazi population cleansing also ran on two tracks: they went after marginalized groups who were perceived as unproductive (eg the disabled) and minorities whose apparent industriousness was perceived as a threat to the dominant group (Jews)

Jesus. Paramount's FCC petition to transfer broadcast licenses to Skydance has been pending for months. Tuesday, Paramount and Trump filed papers to dismiss his suit after Paramount paid up. Today, FCC approved the transfer. 48 hours. If that's not a bribe.. www.ifyoucankeepit.org/p/something-...

Another video of Senator Padilla’s violent arrest at DHS Sec Noem’s press conference in LA. You can see him thrown to the ground by FBI agents and handcuffed. (video shared by Padilla’s staff with Elex Michaelson of Fox LA and posted on X)

A useful reminder that Trump has always been on the side of the autocrats.

That’s just DC every day

Seems like EU/Canada/Turkey/NATO are beginning the talks overnight. Also, hearing that NATO(minus US) forces are on alert (won’t share details) in case of an action from the US/Russia. For me - this means coffee time! ☕️ 🇺🇦

UK gives royal welcome to Zelenskyy after White House meltdown

There are moments in these deportation fights when I can just FEEL how pissed off they are that I’m Puerto Rican 😂 they want to threaten me with it so bad 😂

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

American presidents don’t even joke about this. Just because he’s petty doesn’t mean this isn’t dangerous.

Incredible news! The Trump administration's under 19 trans care ban has been BLOCKED in federal court via a bench temporary restraining order. The administration CANNOT withhold funds from hospitals providing trans youth care. ACLU statement here:

They did a mass firing of staff at the National Nuclear Safety Administration. These are the people who handle the safety of our nuclear stockpile. This is so catastrophically bad. Read this, and read it again.

If you’ve already started calling it the Gulf of America instead of the Gulf of Mexico, you should have no trouble with someone’s preferred name and pronouns.

every day I think about the comms strategy of the korean opposition party in the wake of the coup and I get so burningly resentful that other countries have legislators who are awake

Your obedience is not going to protect you, and the crumbs left by the time these despots are done will not be worth fighting over.

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do. Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.

So ya see, the thing about Americans is that we are deeply selfish and individualistic and 90% of our population is incapable of admitting they’ve ever done anything wrong in their lives. So now half our country is demonically possessed while the other half argues about who botched the exorcism.

Wow, America. Wow.

I know pointing out hypocrisy doesn’t matter anymore, but if there’s one person I wouldn’t want to be the judge of who goes into locker rooms, it would be the man who openly boasted about walking into dressing rooms of underage girls

"Now, we must all fear evil men. But there is another kind of evil which we must fear most, and that is the indifference of good men." - I think of this boondock saints quote often.

Two weeks and two days. More of this.

For @msnbc.com I spoke with a trans 19 year old about Trump's executive order on gender affirming care for youth and wrote about the importance of surviving -- if only out of spite. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Please listen to @kimlanelaw.bsky.social explain that while the eank insanity of the past 12 days is new to America, it's familiar in Hungary (and Poland and Turkey) down to every particular. When lawyers are more dangerous than tanks in the street... podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

They said don’t make science political But now scientists aren’t getting paid They said don’t make science political But now we’re backing up our data in fear of losing access to servers They said don’t make science political But now our colleagues fear coming to work…

Trump’s orders make a lot of the work of the nonprofit world impossible. It’s a broad umbrella of organizations some of whom do good real work & some who don’t who depend on 501c3 status & funding from government & foundations affected by the fact that his agenda is essentially no justice.

We won't know what precisely will go wrong but the odds of multiple things causing a cascading failure increases as Trump destroys parts of the federal government.

My federal government colleagues are getting emails telling them to reply “resign” if they don’t agree with the new impositions from the administration. These people are fucking insane.

Let's be clear: the Medicaid portal went offline because of Donald Trump's orders. The only reason it is back on is due to outrage from the American people. Now, they are trying to lie about it. Medicaid was never taken away from Americans under President Biden.

AOC spot on , this is what leadership looks like.

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last. Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

“After Auschwitz, the human condition is not the same, nothing will ever be the same. Here, heaven and earth are on fire.” —Elie Wiesel

I am completely unsurprised

Look, we tried to warn people. At this point, the only way out is through. Trump will precipitate a collapse and only then can we rebuild towards a better future. Our goal is to minimize the number of people we lose along the way. Build community, help others. Resilience is all we have.

Something adorable tonight.

We filed a motion to dismiss a lawsuit on behalf of professors at Columbia University to protect free speech on campus. Students and faculty must be able to speak out without being targeted by meritless lawsuits.

Right out of the gate they are detaining U.S. citizens and saying their “papers”are fake. It was always a lie.

Julie Gray, wife of Holocaust survivor Gidon Lev, who joined Musk in his visit to Auschwitz speaks out. She says that Musk felt nothing during the tour & only "cared about how he looked." She shared this with me privately shortly after the tour, and I'm grateful she made her thoughts public.

Here is how we refuse to submit.

Fact-check everything. Save everything. Keep your eyes open.

This is incredibly important for everyone to keep in mind going forward.

This is what you do.

DO NOT

I have also heard from people that queer content is being stripped. I no longer have these accounts, but if you do check and see.
