"I will stand in the way of Tom Homan going after people who don't deserve to be frightened in their communities, who don't deserve to be threatened, terrorized. I would rather that he came and arrested me than do that to the people of my state." —Gov. Pritzker ❤️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5ya...

Thou shalt not tell others “this is a distraction” from something else you have unilaterally decided is more important. You are not helping. You are attacking your allies for caring.

the fact that people were told “today you are going to an elementary school to lie to teachers and kidnap kids” and didn’t immediately tell their bosses to go fuck themselves is all you need to know about why ICE should be dismantled

Trump responded to peaceful protests standing up for immigrants in Los Angeles with tear gas and rubber bullets. He’s a wannabe dictator using violence to advance his authoritarian playbook. We won’t stand for it.

Lots of talk today about the demise of BlueSky. For whatever it's worth, it's been a boon to indie publishers like us. Twitter and Facebook have pretty much silenced us, so the engagement here has, and continues to be, wonderful.

There is no mass-deportation campaign going on right now. Deportation is a process. This is kidnapping and human trafficking.

You have three days, starting today, to leave a public comment with the FDA about, say, why COVID-19 boosters should remain available to everyone and also free. "Individual consumer" is the category you most likely want (unless you are one of the other categories; if so, choose that).

Trump’s attempted takeover of the LOC may also be a test case to see how susceptible congressional Republicans are to his power grab. If they let him install ideologues throughout the LOC, maybe they’d let him do the same to other indispensable legislative entities.

Used books are a low-cost way to see if you like what an author has to offer. If you do find you like them, then you can buy their next book new, possibly from the same bookseller. They're also a way to get books no longer in print. (gift article) www.nytimes.com/2025/05/14/m...

Grateful for reminders that Rahm did his own disappearing of people, especially after just now coming across a clip of Rahm being welcomed to The View table as a possible nominee for POTUS. Nope. "Trump, but with 98% less disappearing!" won't work.

This is why I believe it’s best to run campaigns based on bold, transformational change. You draw swing voters AND inspire new voters to get involved. It’s both good policy and politics!
