Again: Bibi has been saying this for 30 years

Tragically, the outrageous assault of Sen. Padilla today is becoming normal behavior for a Trump administration which is moving us toward authoritarianism. The American people do not like petty tyrants. We defeated King George in 1776. We will defeat King Donald.

We need more @hcrichardson.bsky.social & @petebuttigieg.bsky.social! One of the most enlightened conversations I've seen recently. I felt its seriousness, I'm inspired, it makes me think, and want more. Please consider as sort of a round table for our future. #freeto youtu.be/4diHMLyJPx0?...

Non-Violence is not pacifist. The intention is to expose the violence of the oppressor in contrast, direct actions are not pacifism, but confrontation. Don’t get these things confused when you hear calls to remain non-violent. It’s a well honed tactic, which, reveals state violence, effectively.

Brilliant. Make sure to read the whole thing. www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/i-s...

On June 6, 1944, 81 years ago, the US and allied troops landed on the beaches of Normandy to liberate Europe from Hitler’s tyrannic rule. These brave soldiers gave their lives to defend democracy. We must honor them by continuing the fight against authoritarianism and fascism in all its forms.

June 14 = Pride AND No Kings National Day of Defiance! Saturday, 6/14/2025 is not only the “No Kings, National Day of Defiance” all across America – it is also PRIDE here in Columbus. We’re protesting and celebrating at the same time.

Stay in the know! Sign up for Indivisible Central Ohio - Thursday Action Group List: [email protected] We post some of the highlights here….but there is WAY too much to post all of it!

There’s always a tweet with these folks.

Clintonville Area Progressives will host a State Legislative Update meeting with Central Ohio's State legislators. All are welcome to attend. The meeting will be tomorrow, Tuesday, May 13, at the Whetstone Library on N. High St. Doors open at 6:30pm. Meeting begins at 7pm.

No matter what this Administration tells the American people, the law is very clear: Members of Congress have a legal right to enter any DHS detention facility to conduct oversight without prior notice - something I’ve done twice this year without issue.

We buy out the ethanol industry and repurpose the land for public solar and pollinator plants, and that's the end of local fights over clean-energy development.

They have to be destroyed before they destroy America. There isn’t much time left.

Casar: Today, Americans don’t need a dictionary to know what oligarchy is. All they have to do is turn on the news

Two former Wells Fargo executives were fined $8.5M by the Biden administration for covering up the bank's infamous fake account scandal. Trump just slashed those fines to a paltry $150,000 after Wells Fargo gave $1M to his inauguration. See how this works?

This is a thinly-veiled implementation of one of the key components of the right wing assault on education and academia that was telegraphed in Project 2025: www.americanprogress.org/article/the-...

This is where we are headed. If you don’t believe me, ask what basis the government had to send me and my family to a prison camp in Arkansas. We “looked like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor.”

Four Central Ohio @ohio50501.bsky.social protests on Saturday - Columbus Statehouse, Westerville, Delaware, and Reynoldsburg. Note the times! Let’s keep the momentum going. Now is not the time to be complacent.

In the "personal news" department, this morning I let my colleagues know that I'm leaving The Washington Post. I'm retiring from my longtime journalistic home but not from journalism, and I'll keep you posted as I decide what my next chapter will be.

In case you're into this sort of thing, Voyager 1 is only about 3 hours into Booker's speech.

In a world of Chuck Schumer and John Fetterman, be a Cory Booker.

I want to sincerely thank every single one of my Senate Democratic colleagues who came to the floor, not to just support me, but to share incredibly powerful stories and ask important questions their constituents want answers to.

As a past guest at these events, including when Obama took Trump apart, I agree. Cowards like the White House correspondent’s association need to not only “not be rewarded,” but also actively shunned.

Here's my beef with Schumer and Jeffries. They need to be doing (1) of two things: 1) Fighting the GOP at EVERY turn, every time they try to maneuver or 2) Dump complete and total energy into winning the mid-terms. They are doing NEITHER! They need to pick a priority, get useful, or step aside
