We devote musicals, miniseries, and documentaries to the founders of our first republic and not to those of our second, who saw this country with clear eyes. We need fewer encomiums for Jefferson, Madison, and Lafayette. More respect for Sumner, Stevens, Bingham and Douglass (Frederick).

This guy will throw all of us under the bus. The bare minimum in NEW YORK FUCKING CITY is that you defend immigrants and trans people. A vote for Cuomo is a vote for Trump's politics and policies. Do not rank him AT ALL on your ballot.

If you kidnap and disappear a 4-year-old with stage 4 cancer, you should at a minimum spend the rest of your life behind bars. If you do it as part of an ethnic cleansing program, you should do your hard time at the Hague.

Let's say Harris won last year and Vance was holding 10k-20k person rallies where he railed against left-wing "oligarchy." Would the CW be that this was crazy and a waste of time? Or would we be seeing NYT op-eds and A1s about what "oligarchy" is and why the GOP base was on fire about it?

Van Hollen: And it's also important that people understand this case is not just about one man. It's about protecting the constitutional rights of everybody who resides in the United States of America.

One thing keeps sticking with me today: why does Trump, who says he wants to make America strong, keep doing things that makes us weak? Possible answers - 1) he's a complete idiot 2) he works for Putin. 3) both 1 and 2 4) Is there another explanation? bsky.app/profile/simo...

There should've been an entire group of Democratic Senators that joined Chris Van Hollen. He shouldn't be the only one.

This explanation from @leahlitman.bsky.social on why law firms are surrendering to Trump is really dark stuff: newrepublic.com/article/1939...

Trump is waging the trade equivalent of a nuclear war against the entire world. He's telling other nations to surrender to his demands because he's willing to annihilate his own economy just to destroy theirs. A tyrant's strategy that should not be possible in any country resembling a democracy.

I want us to study the history of resistance to slave catchers right now. I want us to study how slave catchers worked, how they were sanctioned, who paid them, and why they did what they did, right now. I want us to study the hyperlocal and networked ways slave catchers were impeded. Right now.

Some breaking news in my latest. Others pointed out that Witkoff appeared to be in Moscow when he joined the Houthi PC Group chat. Sky News has a detailed story on his timeline in Moscow. I ran that against the timeline from the Atlantic article. Witkoff was waiting for Putin when he was added.(1/2)

Because we’ve always lived in a democracy many Americans have no idea yet what we are losing. Part of why so many don’t fight is because they believe they will be safe. They’ve convinced themselves only other (“deserving”) folks will feel the impacts. Makes it tough to amplify these truths.

Yes, the resistance should (have been) be stronger. But what stands out from the Columbia case: where is the collective resistance? Where is the rest of the higher education sector? Where is the political outrage? This is not an isolated case. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

FYI criticizing Israel is not antisemitic, but supporting Israel only because you’re waiting for the Rapture to happen so all the Jews burn in Hell is.

If you let the executive deport people to a foreign gulag just by pronouncing the word “terrorism,” then expect to be called a “terrorist” soon yourself.

Do you know why rural and working people are listening to Walz and AOC and Bernie? Because they tell the damn truth. Because they are passionate about people. Because they are authentic. Because they care. They are the new face of the opposition.
