Giving the algorithm control over how we communicate doomed us. Pic for attention.

Credit where credit is due. The Democrats' message that the GOP shut down the government because they want to throw millions of people off healthcare has broken through. Two of my cousins who are NOT AT ALL tuned into national politics told me that this is why the government is shut down.

This doesn’t seem good.

Interesting to read an article about the boat bombing and then see this…

We aren't on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We are in the middle of it. But I worry people don't see the whole scheme. They just pay attention to each new daily outrage. So I went to the Senate floor to explain Trump's plan. Here's a 🧵of the speech. It's important.

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in. Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators. The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

“…we are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.” Kevin Roberts president, Heritage Foundation, July 2024

Pretty clear Stephen Miller, Noem, Hegseth and Trump are trying to provoke a Civil War at this point. What's interesting is they want to do it now, because even though they're unpopular, they seem to believe this is the most popular they'll be ever again. We can't let them win.

If a federal judge, appointed by Trump, can call him “simply untethered to facts,” our White House press corps can as well. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Their privilege is too dear to them & they show us every day.

this is also white nationalist framing straight from the Jim Crow era, as if Joy Reid citizenship is a gift from Vance, whose belonging is of course unquestioned it’s what @profkori.bsky.social would call “know your place aggression”

Absolutely heinous.

I can't imagine being a safe white person in the US right now quietly watching everyone get arrested, abducted, disappeared, and killed. We should never have to explain what white supremacy is after this moment.

People ask me all the time what they can do and broadly: 1) Organize and join protests 2) Support media that isn't backing down 3) Give to ACLU and others taking on the illegal actions in court 4) Give to food banks :(

here is a possible game changer for Abrego. and a very good augury for Jim Comey

SCOOP — Pennsylvania prosecutors were alerted to possible voting irregularities by one of MAGA's leading voices against voter fraud. A long paper trail shows Jack Posobiec has been living in Maryland but voting using his parents' PA address for years. From @jsweetli.bsky.social, @slate.com + me:

Glad we all decided to just mock them cause he sounds like a whiny little bitch.

Developing – Feds put a Black man in a chokehold in Chicago's East Garfield Park

The Trump administration just told all U.S. military veterans on VA's email list that Democrats are to blame for the government shutdown, as well as for their loss of benefits. We've previously seen this email go out to federal employees, but this went to *veterans* nationwide.

Climate change is a national security concern. We are less safe because of the Fox News host playing warrior.

THEY CLOSED PUBLIC POOLS RATHER THAN SWIM WITH BLACK PEOPLE YOU ARE DEALING WITH THE SAME GROUP OF PEOPLE AS THE FOLKS WHO DID THIS PLEASE WAKE THE FUCK UP

I hope it's clear to everyone now that Trump really is going for it - he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort

The U.S. president just ordered all the military generals to an unprecedented gathering in Washington, then told them that they should plan to participate in a war on American cities.

The fact the governor of Illinois is beging for citizen coverage because media as a whole is intentionally not covering the governments terror campaign should be absolutely a five alarm fire if you are not already figuring out the federal government is at war against us.

The way this will feed me for days. 🥹

The alleged shooter in Michigan. Weird that Vance and Patel haven’t tweeted out this info. 🤷🏽‍♂️👇🏽 www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...

So what is Trump offering?

Obama didn’t make us mess racist so now we believe in white power and that minority groups shouldn’t exist? Cool argument.

Don’t get me wrong, shit’s fucking scary—but this last week’s worth of absurd headlines and wonky ass shit coming out of the WH really convinces me that they’re are flailing around and grasping at straws that are getting harder to pick up The window for resistance is still open, folks

This was the correct answer. He has to be this clear about every autocratic behavior. No more “Donald Trump’s ICE is throwing around bystanders for fun, but you know the immigration system does need changed.” It’s way past time for clear, accurate, brave speech from our leaders.

So much just happened. Can't process it all rn. Multiple people arrested, including press. Will share more when I can.

Trump gets humiliated at the UN, Kimmel returns, he drops further in the polls and just goes fucking crazy at the White House today. Insane new tariffs, Comey, war against his domestic opponents, shutting down the government. He is losing it, and it’s getting dangerous out there.

He is speaking out more, which is absolutely an indication he is more alarmed. While many (myself included) wanted him to speak out more all along, I think he wanted to send a message when he thinks things are dire and this is him saying it is that time.

Does Putin want a World War? Can anybody explain why he is violating multiple country’s air spaces to me like I am 5?

Somebody alert the “drill baby, drill” crowd

The White House is frantically pressuring the small number of Republicans who support the Epstein list discharge petition to flip and vote against it, per CNN. They’re clearly panicking about whatever’s in these files.

The government knowingly putting false information in the label of a drug is crossing a Rubicon that should not be taken lightly

Donald Trump is giving his thoughts on vaccine schedules and they have to report on it because we decided he should run America. Pretty cool if you ask me.

I hate it here.

Breaking: Jimmy Kimmel to return Tuesday.

My experience with 2024 taught me that if you got an election where if someone wins its the end of your country, your country is already in some unbelievably deep shit.

My statement formally recognising the State of Palestine.

Just a reminder that a staggering number of Black women have also lost their jobs due to capitulation to this administration. That deserves more outrage.

I promise you that E. Klein doesn't have a clue as to how to get anyone out of this current fascist predicament. He really doesn't and he is demonstrating it in public for any sentient being being to see. You follow his lead at your peril and everyone else's. Don't be misled.

One of the key ways you refuse to comply with fascism is by becoming even louder and more fearless in supporting vulnerable people. You SHOW that you are unwilling to throw the "undesirables" under the bus if only for self-preservation because under fascism you will also become undesirable one day.

BREAKING: A court ruled that the federal government can't pick and choose among viewpoints when deciding who gets a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. We took the Trump administration to court to fight artistic censorship — and won.

AOC: We should be clear about who Charlie Kirk was. A man who believed that the civil rights act that granted black Americans the right to vote was a mistake… His rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant, uneducated, and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans.

I firmly believe that the best thing black people can be doing right now is banding together to build the future And white people should be throwing money our direction. Not jobs. Cash. They need to find the people who are organizing, give them money, and get out the way.

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".
