Interesting idea actually

Most Jewish Americans disapprove of the Trump administration withholding funds from colleges to address anti-Jewish sentiment, according to a new survey.

NEWS: A person is in custody after allegedly firing a gunshot at the home of Democratic state Sen. Meg Loughran Cappel, a state lawmaker in Illinois. There are no reported injuries.

WGA Statement on ABC’s Decision to Pull Jimmy Kimmel Live!

great news! you're not actually seeing karl rove, john yoo, and david frum criticize the administration's lawlessness more stridently than dem leadership. you, reader, were infected with rabies by a brown bat 36 hours ago and this is all just the virus working its way through your nervous system

IMPORTANT PERSPECTIVE: What I have not seen anyone discussing is that Nexstar pulling Kimmel, forcing ABC’s hand, comes as Nexstar is leading the way for the industry on trying to get FCC approval for media consolidation. www.poynter.org/business-wor...

A radical Christian just murdered the speaker of a state house but the real worry is the theocratic muslim who said the bus should be cheaper

Efficiency is when you make the troops homeless *before* they're veterans

“People on Bluesky are the crazy ones”

The idea we should behave in such a way that the Trumpists will not portray us as dangerous/ lawless/ violent is a silly idea, because they always portray us that way and no amount of curtseys and rolling over and playing dead will change that. So people might as well speak up and stand strong.

From the piece: "I believe ardently that nonviolent resistance is in the big picture and the long term the most effective strategy, but that doesn't mean it must be polite, placid, or please our opponents, not least because nothing ever will and they'll lie and distort no matter what."

Facebook decided to suspend my account because of a piece (below) I wrote Monday about violence which in no way advocates for it (but does point out who is violent in the current ruckus).

So the target is the Democratic leaders?

Terry Moran worked at ABC for 28 years. Now, for calling Stephen Miller “hateful,” (which he 💯 is per his own family), ABC fired him to appease an authoritarian hypocrite who ran on “free speech.” This will have a chilling effect on all journalists. Fourth Estate fails. Authoritarianism advances.

When Joe Biden did stuff like this, Fox would play the clips over and over like it was as significant as the moon landing

The spin has already started as if our entire city is in chaos. I went from Burbank all the way over to Koreatown on surface streets tonight and jackshit was happening. The CNN coverage makes it look like world war 3 and that’s what Trump wants so he and his fucking goons can come shoot Angelenos.

read this, pay attention,

Highly recommend "Number 24" on Netflix. It shows so many ethical dilemmas faced by people choosing not to go along with fascism in Norway, includ. Gunnar Sønsteby, a real person who led a group under the codename Agent 24 during the Nazi occupation, fighting off invaders and homegrown fascists.

There is no bigger story right now than the White House asserting that California residents are in a state "of rebellion against the authority of the Government of the United States."

unbelievable.

we knew he was going to do this—people kept writing how as soon as there are protests, he’ll use them as justification for bringing in military force. the question is, what’s next?

brilliant hurricane of the mind, yes. i attended the memorial virtually too & her absence continues to be a shock. i miss her too ❤️

One thing I wish people understood about authoritarianism is life often looks more or less the same. Troops aren’t marching down the street every day; people go to restaurants, have their office jobs. But everyone knows that stepping out of line, even slightly, can derail your life with no recourse

The great thing about fighting back against this stuff is that if you end up losing anyway you get the same outcome you’d have gotten from complying but you don’t have to fucking hate yourself too.
