Statistically “America” is its cities. But we’re stuck with an 18th century political architecture that gives votes to cornfields & thus makes it politically viable to treat them as some kind of weird tumor.

A perhaps controversial point from team #NIH: The attacks on science, and the MAHA garbage, at root arise from the fact that many Americans are very unhappy with their healthcare system. The US healthcare and health insurance system screws many people. This is the way forward.👇

This is, of course, all bullshit. But that won't matter to the MAGA cult who still believe entire cities were burnt to the ground during the Black Lives Matter protests.

What's happening in LA is a redux of the federal invasion of Portland. It took a 'Wall of Moms' using their privilege to protect more marginalized protesters to turn that around. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

So Miller incited these protests by ordering officials he’d no authority over to ditch the administration’s stated policy of only seeking undocumented persons with criminal records and instead demanding they raid—yes, he specifically ordered this—Home Depots to get the max number of nonviolent folks

Terry is just speaking the truth. ABC suspending him is more anticipatory obedience, like their pre-inaugural settlement of Trump's case. Terry if you need a lawyer....

@radiofreetom.bsky.social correctly writes that Trump aims to provoke. The Singing Revolution against the USSR succeeded because Balts remained resolute and did not give Moscow a justification to 'restore order'.

Seriously Edward R Murrow would have eviscerated Stephen Miller. The truth is he is a horrible human being and the free press including Terry Moran, should be able to articulate this.

I can not disagree with this take more. The military parade will be a parade of force and intimidation by wanna-be authoritarians. It fits right alongside the outsized military display in CA right now—making the same point.

kind of just endlessly sad and grieving that there are so few voices in the public sphere making the basic principled argument that immigration is an affirmative good in every way and the best way for this country to serve humanity is to welcome people who want or need to leave their homes

NEW: I analyzed nearly 300 federal cases involving the Trump administration. Federal judges—across the political spectrum—are using language I’ve never seen before. One called government actions “unconscionable.” Another quoted Kafka. They’re begging us to pay attention.

One after another access journalist is reporting a convo with Trump where Trump says Musk has a problem. None asked why Trump let him have unfettered access to the govt, and our data, for the last four months, then. And what he'll do to make sure Musk didn't do permanent damage.

Phang: We are just 19 weeks—approximately—into the second term of the Trump administration. We have another three and something years to go, people. We cannot allow the DOJ to be led by a lackey of Donald Trump. That is the type of shit you see in a dictatorship.

These are the proactive steps states need to be taking right now. Another thing: every Democratic governor needs to have a sit-down now with the state adjutant general to carefully review that person's understanding of their responsibilities to their state, its citizens and the federal constitution.
