Well, fuck. Here we go. abcnews.go.com/Internationa...

In the past week, a union leader has been arrested, a U.S. Rep charged with a crime, a U.S. Senator violently handcuffed, and reporters shot with rubber bullets and detained. There is no ambiguity. This is a regime operating as an authoritarian. Americans who believe in liberty must oppose it.

i am not being pollyannish when i insist that the people who sign up do not sign up to advance a president’s domestic political agenda www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

In this short "On-Target" video by @markjacob.bsky.social and me, we discuss how ABC News' firing of Terry Moran illustrates they value a posture of objectivity over telling the truth—and how this journalistic mindset has aided Trump’s march into authoritarianism. open.substack.com/pub/america/...

You have no obligation to defend or explain the behavior of random street protesters. We have a lawless government that is flagrantly violating its legal, moral, even philosophical obligations to us. Everything else is secondary

the trump movement has inculcated a genuinely rotten contempt for life in our collective political life and the real challenge will be extirpating it in favor of life-affirming solidarity youtu.be/Em6hb2Mg0XA?...

It's been really demoralizng how much the press mindlessly repeats the lie that the National Guard was sent to quell violence. It was sent to start violence. People know this, so just say it.

Frog. That's it. That's the post.

why is the president the only person testing the limits of his power? everyone should see what they can get away with. what if zookeepers gave helicopters to gorillas? nobody has tried this

PFT staff rep Leyla Lindsay & CIO Erik Fleming are in DC to say FREE DAVID HUERTA with our labor family! @aft.org @aflcio.org @seiu.org #1u #FreeDavidEndRaids

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

That officer took deliberate aim at this journalist and shot her. There's nobody standing near her.

This is the most LA picture. I love LA so so much.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

The people who said we should abolish ICE were right. The people who said we should defund the police, were right. The righteous are always cursed with being too early.

@hcrichardson.bsky.social @jbf1755.bsky.social‬ Speaking of super excellent, factual, fun US history videos, you might mention in a future Substack post Joanne Freeman's AWESOME free Yale course (HIST 116) on YouTube: "The American Revolution" (25 lectures; 40-50 minutes/lecture) shorturl.at/YKBMo

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple. Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

archive.ph/f9dbTTrump is possible going to declare that the Insurrection Act gives him the power to nationalize the Guard and circumvent Newsom's authority. Another possibility is to send in Guard members from another state. FL troops have already been deployed in TX, for ex.

I have no idea what crazy human is attached to this really, really grumpy ginger, but whoever they are, I pity the fool. #cats
