Pritzker: "One of the reasons Trump wants to send troops into cities is bc he wants to be able to take control of the 2026 elections...if they've got troops in cities, & it becomes a kind of norm for people, then it won't be abnormal for them when they're going to vote having troops at ballot boxes"

Greta Ever After is a fantastic book made even richer by the illos! What a great way to reach readers❤️

Want to hear the speech that Isaiah Martin gave that shook republicans enough to arrest him? Texas Republicans are pushing to redraw the state’s maps after pressure from the Trump administration. Speaking the truth is powerful!! Republicans can’t handle the TRUTH!!

When I wrote THE VERDIGRIS PAWN I was thinking the part where people are made to surrender their children into service for the rich was pure fantasy Alas…

File this under 2 Birds I saw someone suggest on another platform that Stephen Colbert shld move to PBS- you can get Passport streaming service for as little as $5/month Get the Daily Show to move too and PBS’s funding hole might just get plugged What do you think @colbertlateshow.bsky.social ?

My eight-year-old fell asleep on the subway today despite the incessant murders and assaults that Sean Duffy experiences.

A story about Stephen Colbert I’ve never shared before. Years ago I was hospitalized for a month. One of toughest things I ever had to do. Confined, monitored, my health a mystery with no solution, cycling through roommates & their families who needed miracles, or would go off to surgery & vanish…

Stephen Colbert doesn’t need CBS anyway. Wherever he ends up, people are going to watch him even harder now. All CBS did was solidify the fact that they’ll be know until the end of time as just another spineless corporation that couldn’t do the right thing.

I mean, she’s right! 😂 Hello Development folks! #movierights

Congrats to Stephen Colbert for never bending the knee.

It’s almost like the dude can’t believe anyone would say no to him, so instead of backing off, or, I don’t know, dropping out of the race, his response is “You couldn’t possible have meant to reject me.”

This powerful message: “I did the research and found out I was wrong.” I’m not going to say much more except please take the time to watch. Then send it around to family and friends, no matter their political persuasion. Part I

Happy 4th all. Sharing the full Declaration of Independence for your consideration and reflection, below. Try to spend time w/this courageous document that helped birth our remarkable nation, and let us use it to inspire us for the important work ahead 👇 www.hopiumchronicles.com/p/our-lives-...

Jeffries is buying time for us to keep the pressure up. Two reps have flipped, for now—can we get two more? Call your Republican house reps if you have them.

Mike Johnson is voting to cut Medicaid. Nearly 40% of his district relies on Medicaid.

We just need FOUR Republicans of conscience to reject this Big, Ugly Bill and prevent millions of families from losing healthcare, food assistance, and more. This bill is not inevitable. Call 202-224-3121 and urge your representative to vote NO.

Today, a chamber that once filled me with wonderment made me feel disgust.

Time is running out—this bill is on the Senate floor NOW. Call your senators and tell them their constituents are watching: 202-224-3121.

If only there was some way for millions of people to learn the truth (Caveat: not necessarily attributing the practice of truth telling to NYT)

There’s just so much: the victory of a new political talent, the loss of an old tyrant, the possibilities of alliance & positive strategizing, the hope for a more just future, the cracking of the last generation’s stranglehold on power. Also the joy and force of Tish James! Listen to her voice!

I haven’t seen nearly enough people talking about this. The levels of greed and inhumane thinking on display is actually terrifying. America really is dystopian as fuck.

Klasfeld on Abrego Garcia case: One of the cooperating witnesses is serving a 30-year sentence. What comes out during the hearing is that: he’s getting leniency on his prison sentence, is now in a halfway house, and is also receiving favorable treatment with his immigration situation.

These are the people that make America great 🇲🇽🇺🇸

A word a day keeps the _______ (fill in the blank) away

Truth-tellers, not rioters. Protect these two men at all costs. “You feel tough with your assault rifles and your sticks. You should be standing here with us. You’re on the wrong side of history.” “John Lewis said make good trouble… that means make trouble on behalf of democracy.”

This is good, and I hope it spreads exponentially. No borrowed holding facilities, no hotels to stay in (keep it up Pasadena), no restaurants in which to eat. There is no need to make unconstitutional kidnappers welcome in OUR state.

Don’t forget Trump plotted this before the election: “the bigger problem is the enemy from within…We have some sick people, radical left lunatics… it should be very easily handled by, if necessary, by National Guard, or if really necessary, by the military.” www.americaamerica.news/p/trump-want...

Elon should explain to us exactly how he won the election for Trump.
