And just like that, the ‘No New Wars’ people are all-in on a new war. Proving yet again that they really believe in nothing other than what one man tells them to believe today. Which could be different tomorrow. The very definition of a cult.

In 2020, when I told people that I was building a pro-democracy media outlet, people thought I was kidding. When I told them that the fight for democracy was the fight of our time, they thought I was being overly dramatic. Well...here we are. Premium or free, subscribe now. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

If only we had warned folks before the election that the real plan wasn’t border security…it was mass deportation in the interior, federalizing the National Guard, ripping people out of homes, families, jobs, and schools. Oh wait…we did. This segment with the author of 2025 aired one year ago.

If you think it can’t happen here, remember that it already did. In 1942 soldiers came with rifles to our home and ordered us out. They put us in internment camps. Most of us were citizens.

When I was young, if we wanted to find the secret rave, we'd have to be smart enough to solve a puzzle with a few clues placed around the city that would eventually lead us to the address. The next G7 should do that.

I don't think we're in a democracy anymore. Unmarked secret police kidnapping people off the street? A dictator mobilizing the military against civilians? Defying court orders? Ignoring due process? Arresting political opponents? Democracy has left the building. We CAN & MUST get it back, though.

BREAKING: In a unanimous decision, a federal court of appeals has ruled that Louisiana's law requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in all public school classrooms is unconstitutional. We’ll keep saying it: Public schools are not Sunday schools.

🧵1. Did you know Cuomo -- who has thousands upon thousands of New Yorkers' Covid deaths on his hands -- has a mask ban in his platform? DO NOT RANK CUOMO for NYC mayor. Mask bans destroy our ability to protect our own health, esp. folks w/immune probs, disabilities, or other chronic conditions.

Compton, CA: A masked, heavily-armed man wearing body armor jumped out of a SUV today to kidnap a local resident. He forgot to put the vehicle in park, causing it to roll down the street damaging other cars. He jumped in the vehicle (which had no platess) and drove off without identifying himself.

While we wait for the Supreme Court to rule in a critical redistricting case from Louisiana, this is what the GOP is up to in Texas and Ohio. Remember the GOP's plan is to make it harder for you to vote and easier for them to cheat.

“ICE in just a few weeks has transformed itself into the closest thing that the US has ever had to a ‘secret police,’ with more seemingly culturally in common with the Klan nightriders of Reconstruction than their federal agency brethren like the FBI or ATF.” @garrettgraff.bsky.social

Sayed Naser served as a U.S. military interpreter in Afghanistan. Now he’s being deported. The Taliban assassinated his brother and kidnapped his father. All because he helped us. Why are the feds trying to deport him, even though his asylum case is still pending? Not justice, it’s a betrayal.

Why Trump is whining about the new Fox News poll: ▶️ 7 points net negative on Immigration (disapproval up 5 points since April) ▶️ 15 points net negative on foreign policy ▶️ 18 points net negative on the economy ▶️ 30 points net negative on inflation ▶️ Voters oppose his budget bill by 59%-38% 😱

DHS wants 72 hours notice before inspections of detention facilities. Kind of defeats the purpose, doesn't it?

I’m thinking about John Lewis this morning and how the March across that bridge changed my life. We children of the 50s and early 60s had been taught that police were the good guys. Then we saw what they did to John Lewis and how they sicced dogs on little kids. That changed everything.

This is a cover-up‼️ DHS is illegally trying to change the rules on congressional oversight visits to facilities to hide human rights abuses. “We know that they’re trying to hide all those abuses. That’s why it’s important that we can just get in at a moment’s notice.” – Rep. @gomez.house.gov

They've got enough money to throw us into another war, but not enough money to fund the suicide prevention hotline. Very "pro-life." Very "pro-family." So "GREAT."
