I will not back down. Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power. What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

En The Moment, @johnleguizamo.bsky.social habla sobre cómo enfrentó el racismo al inicio de su carrera, el poder que tenemos los latinos en números y por qué ahora es el momento de reconocer esa influencia y unirnos. Con @paoramos.bsky.social y Jorge Ramos. open.spotify.com/episode/3Vi6...

Sam Fender is the best singer-songwriter in the world right now. He just destroyed in Chicago.

Idles are the best band on the planet right now. Unreal.

You can condemn murder and political violence without whitewashing Charlie Kirk's shameful history of hate, racism, white nationalism and promotion of dangerous conspiracies that radicalized Trump supporters to violence. You can do both.

It’s not simply important to denounce political violence because it looks bad not to. It’s the right thing to do on the merits. Even more specifically to this moment it’s important because the forces of fascism are inherently better at political violence than the forces of civic democracy.

If I have any credibility with you from 20 years of reporting on rightwing & fascist movements, please listen when I beg you not to celebrate Charlie Kirk getting shot. Leave aside morality: this isn’t a match in dry grass, it’s a torch. We do not want what this could ignite & we would not win.

My extremely diverse Chicago neighborhood is DEAD QUIET today, a beautiful afternoon when everyone should be outside enjoying summer's transition to fall. Wow, great job, everyone who voted for bigotry and fear! You've completely eliminated the vibrancy of human society!

"Blueskyism" helped make The Onion one of the largest newspapers in the world in less than a year. If we had spent all of our time on Twitter, we'd be poorer, dumber and terminally ill with internet poisoning. He's just angry he's wasting away over there in a nazi agnostic lane that doesn't exist.

Im tired of kind, gentle, understanding. We’re making great strides in protest. Add this to your list of must-do’s now

Academics once loved Twitter—but in the age of X they’ve abandoned it in droves. www.wired.com/story/bluesk...

A neo-Nazi group inspired by Donald Trump's rhetoric is expanding its reach and reshaping white extremism in America. At the helm is a Texas couple, both born to Ku Klux Klan leaders reut.rs/4ftv4ne

Superman is an undocumented immigrant.

weird how the guy born into obscene wealth, bailed out repeatedly, allowed to fail upwards forever until he fell ass-backwards into the presidency, and then was declared by the Supreme Court to be a Very Special Boy Who Can Crime Forever never stops whining about how everything is rigged against him

Here’s me on the King of the Hill revival (gift link): www.nytimes.com/2025/08/02/a...

Holy shit, they did it. They wrote the headline.

The Epstein scandal is so bad that Trump is even releasing his medical information, that boy is cooked...

I rarely go to Twitter and when I do I make sure to keep it quick. Part of the reason is that the place is an open sewer and I don’t miss the stench at all. But another part is that I invariably see someone I know who’s still posting there and just lose a lot of respect for them.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

I wish Biden was alive to see this day...

Elon Musk, the genius visionary who could not predict that the guy who has betrayed every person he has ever met would betray him

Twitter is down again for a 2nd day, that app is cooked

That was a really sad ending to a really, really, really great playoff game.

There's a non-zero chance that the Pope gets excited when he hears the Bulls intro.

A Chicago Pope?

I've covered authoritarians around the world. Now I cover them in America. Here I write about the national test we face: how to protect America from America's president www.nytimes.com/2025/04/16/o...

We all know that if Obama had invited a Black rapper covered in bling to stand next to him as he signed an executive order in the Oval Office, rightwing media would have lost their minds. That’s what white supremacy is all about. One spoken rule for me, another spoken one for you.

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #169,641!

I don't want to be dramatic, but this Wicked movie is the worst piece of art in history.

The video of Trump’s deportees arriving in El Salvador is horrific. This is 21st century Nazism. Identities concealed, trafficked to a foreign labour camp. No due process, no evidence of crime. Dehumanised. Where is the global outrage? The crime is historic; the normalisation catastrophic.

If the Supreme Court ultimately agrees with what the gov't is arguing today, that the President has broad Article II powers that would permit it to deport people & there can be no judicial review, then literally no one is safe.

Recall that this court order yesterday should have halted prisoner flights from landing in El Salvador as of the moment it was entered. It appears that order was not followed. All eyes are on how DOJ will explain this failure to comply and what the judge will do.

You don’t know who we just disappeared to El Salvador. Think about that.

Announce you're running right away. Become the party. Force them to get in line or get out of the way.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

I hate these fascist motherfuckers with every cell in my body and with nearly equal timbre I hate the cowardice of the only people in a position to oppose them who treat it like they were playing crazy 8s over cocktails and watercress sandwiches
