Wow.

This is the equivalent of "putting the sign in the window", as Mark Carney referenced the other day. No matter who we are, we must stand up for what's right, and not be afraid of the bully.

A few months ago, ICE hired me I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!" My latest for Slate

On the eve of 1000+ rapid response "Ice Out for Good" protests, here's our generation's phil ochs/bob dylan/john prine/you get the idea. www.youtube.com/watch?v=El0C...

Amanda Gorman wrote this poem for Renee Good and that’s it for me tonight.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today. This could be you.

If they could do this to Renee Nicole Good, they could do this to you. This is a lawless regime.

I'm still able to download it, but just in case I've re-uploaded it here drive.google.com/file/d/1GRcg... and here drive.proton.me/urls/X8C14W3...

And so the Shortest Day came and the year died And everywhere down the centuries of the snow-white world Came people singing, dancing, To drive the dark away. ...

Political reforms which would set us on a path towards a new system which don’t require a constitutional amendment: - Proportional representation in the House with RCV in the Senate - Expanding the Supreme Court and limiting its power - Abolishing the filibuster - Adding DC and PR as states

Great job again, @dropkickmurphys.com . Slava Ukraini! youtu.be/L3rtbOroe6c

serious note: they're gonna try 5x harder to sabotage the midterms after tonight and we're gonna have to organize on a literally historic scale to stop them

On election day, an election 🧵 @andycraig.bsky.social argues that institutional reform of congressional elections is necessary. Instead of the winner-take-all logic of gerrymandered single-member districts, he says, choose proportional representation.

We cannot be a meaningfully representative democracy until we replace the Senate & single-member districts as currently structured with actually representative & democratic institutions

In light of gerry-mania, let's talk... ✨proportional representation✨

When will America wake up and realize that Democratic Socialism is far superior to Cutthroat Capitalism? Greed and competition are Neanderthal traits. We need to evolve into our higher selves with compassion, cooperation, generosity, happiness, enlightenment, peace, & love as the prime directives.

I hope some newspapers use a crop where you can easily read the sign.

IT'S OFFICIAL: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York State, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and New York City have formed the Northeast Public Health Collaborative. The collaborative will issue their own vaccine recommendations and coordinate public health efforts.

My son was 1 when leaders gathered in Paris & pledged to keep warming BELOW 1.5C. He’s now 11, & we’re spending our second year ABOVE 1.5C. They’ve doomed all our children because preserving a suicidal economy is more important. We. Should. Be. Furious.

ICE is increasing its presence in Massachusetts. Here's a great resource to help keep communities safe: www.lucemass.org

Update on this from the Boston Globe. This is great news!

Ouch SCOTUS

Very good.

Blue states should find a way to hire the noble scientists from CDC and NIH and give them the chance to protect the public health where it is valued. The science doesn't just go away - we just need to give it a respected home.

"Twenty-three Democratic attorneys general now gather on near-daily Zoom calls at 8 AM Pacific, which means the East Coast officials are already on their third coffee. They divide responsibilities and share templates for lawsuits they’ve been drafting since last spring."

Germany gets 60% of its power from renewables and is shutting down its coal plants. No blackouts. No high bills. Every right wing lie about renewables has been proven false.

"Never before has [the supreme court] entertained such challenges from the president, and never before has it decided them so flippantly." www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

Donald Trump isn't going to leave willingly or peacefully. Republicans are gearing up for martial law. You all aren't paying attention.

Pathetic. Democratic leaders and the establishment STILL haven't learned. They STILL haven't evolved on this issue. Shameful. www.politico.com/news/2025/08...

Last week, Boston received a letter from AG Bondi threatening to prosecute officials and withhold funds unless we cooperate with carrying out mass deportations. The US Attorney General asked for a response by today, so here it is: stop attacking our cities to hide your administration’s failures.

As federal institutions are deliberately made to crumble, we will need more regional and state-to-state cooperation like this. #saveourscience www.bostonglobe.com/2025/08/13/m...

"If anyone thought last January that our democratic system could withstand Trump 2.0, that the courts and political opposition would be strong enough to hold him in check, they’re quickly learning how wrongheaded they were."

Spot on, @andycraig.bsky.social .
