This right here is one of my great pet peeves: THERE WERE NOT ONLY ONE GROUP OF FOUNDERS. The Reconstruction Founders led a massive, important constitutional change, and we don’t need to look at English common law to understand what equality, citizenship, and freedom meant. WE WERE OUR OWN NATION.

This is exactly why to impeach her, she will turn on everyone

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

A good time to repost this about Ilhan Omar 💕

One of the lesser-discussed campaigns of the civil rights era was the one MLK led in Albany, Georgia, in 1962-1963. The sheriff there, a man named Laurie Pritchett, was radically different from most sheriffs of his time and place. He actually studied the civil rights movement and took it seriously

🧵

Their entire strategy was based on escalating endlessly until we broke. They broke first. It’s not over but it’s a tacit acknowledgment we are stronger than them.

ok fine emma goldman said it better. dance. tomorrow demand the next forty-five things we want. dance. bsky.app/profile/3fec...

Okay I think I've mapped out ICE politics as of Monday night

The regime-affiliated oligarchs who bought up Twitter, the Washington Post, CBS, and TikTok didn't do so to turn a profit. They are taking control of the media to limit the public's ability to resist authoritarianism and oligarchy. If they run the outlets into the ground, that's fine.

and by the way, i’m not just saying this as rhetoric. that is actually what the numbers are, and i’m qualified to say that, as someone in the field

oh commuters just found the motherlode of ice agents at a suburban hotel, including, potentially, bovino himself. a bunch of confirmed ICE and CBP cars from the bovino convoy there. spring hill suites in maple grove. people of the twin cities, do with this info what you will.

Lies. The word is: lies.

to think that the only people who matter politically are people who post on text based social networks is to make the same mistake as the administration bsky.app/profile/kiga...

There are 690 separate polling locations, for 1703 voting divisions, just in the City of Philadelphia. And Pennsylvania law specifies that LEOs cannot be within 100 feet of the entrance to a polling location unless (a) they're there to vote or (b) have been asked to come in to break up a fight.

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

And "if we kill you, then you are a domestic terrorist."

UPDATE: @dropsitenews.com has obtained the very graphic video from the lady in the pink coat, which shows ICE executing yet another person in broad daylight:

Here's one of the panels that Trump just removed from the President's House site in Philadelphia. (I took this picture of it last March. A couple of weeks later I led a walking tour that included the site.) Does this information "disparage" the United States?

Another great piece from @elienyc.bsky.social “Trump will lose this case because he’s trying to mess with something the Supreme Court thinks is important. I wish we all could be so lucky as to appear valuable to John Roberts and the Supreme Court.”

Repeat after me - the institutions of this economy depend on the institutions of this democracy, among which is the rule of law

*music swells* BEST PICTURE NOMINEES AT THE 98th ACADEMY AWARDS—AS DRIL TWEETS

"At home, U.S. political commentators continue to obsess over hypothetical Republican “red lines” and Trump’s flagging poll numbers. This is a Manhattan Project of hopium enrichment that fundamentally misunderstands the fight we are now in." There is no avoiding the fight.

It seems to me Congress should hold off on funding elaborate conspiracies to violate the Constitution.

Let tonight be a lesson to all of us: Make sure you have established your own, and are aware of your loved ones', advance directives. Do you want to be awakened from your slumber when It Happens? Or do you want to find out when you awake naturally and unlock your phone? Let your loved ones know.

"The 11th Airborne Division is being activated and deployed to either to enact martial law in Minneapolis or invade Greenland"

If you're a soldier in the 11th Airborne Division being ordered to prep for deployment to Minnesota or Greenland, remember that you have the right to apply for conscientious objector status. Call the GI Bill Rights hotline: 1-877-447-4487

the median voter wants no taxes & no debt but still healthcare & pensions, they want clean energy, clean water, cheap beef, & cheap gas, & they want a bruising take-no-prisoners military that embraces lesbians & furries & single moms without threatening anyone's masculinity

How does the country trust Republicans on Foreign Policy by +4 and Nat Sec by +9 when they're about to get us into WW3 with our NATO ex-allies!?

I have a big post coming out about this tomorrow. We just recorded the podcast episode for it this afternoon. I think it will clarify things for a lot of people.

THE MAN THEY TOOK WRAPPED IN A BLANKET IS A U.S. CITIZEN. This is the Kavanaugh Stop of all Kavanaugh Stops.

I went to Minneapolis last week. What I saw was horrifying and inspiring in equal measure. Gift link to my latest column: www.nytimes.com/2026/01/19/o...

MORMONS: look its very clear that God and his established authority on the earth, do not have the power to actually influence sporting events. Thats why BYU doesn't win anything important. That would be way too hard POPE (roller skating backwards while eating a hot dog) not that hard

And that's why they call it a Hail Mary

Its crazy the gradual increase of pleas we've made to ICE Hey can you wear a name tag? Hey do you have a warrant Hey can you please not wear masks? Hey can you please not murder us? The hell with training, that organization doesn't need to exist anymore.

I think this is specifically and very seriously wrong. The reforms following each of these crises were inadequate, and diminished progressively by the failure to adequately address the previous crisis. That curve continues to Trump, who was convicted of dozens of felonies and then reelected.

i sound like a broken record on this but they are currently failing to suppress protests in the nation's 46th biggest city people have absolutely no sense of scale

Feels like what counts as a catch in the NFL changes every year.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

You have to block them immediately. The full nuclear. They are only here to make folks angry, and that can’t happen if we lock them out.

Demonizing specifically white women who act in solidarity with racial minorities isn’t new. Here’s a southern political cartoon depicting Harriet Beecher Stowe, published in 1853. Surrounded by devils, she‘s holding a book titled “Uncle Tom’s Cabin.” Subtitle: “I Love the Blacks.”

It's a huge problem for dems that an annoying communist with 300 followers in tiktok who hates democrats more than they hate Republicans is considered a Democrat by everyone in the media.

Trump 2016: I want NATO members to increase their spending and military capacity for defense. Trump 2026: No, not like that.

There isn’t a single 🇺🇸 institution that represents urban residents & cities proportionally in America. Not one. The idea that rural areas & voters are being ignored is farcical.
