We saw this with Portland in 2020 where MAGA pols and FOX portrayed the city as burning down, and the reality was just normal life for almost everyone. And LA today -- protests, not riots -- is like 100x more 'just normal' so than was the situation in Portland

The feds kidnapping and trafficking people is a violent crime. Protesting it is fighting back against abuses of power. The government claiming protestors started the violence is DARVO—Deny, Attack, and Reverse Victim and Offender. It’s what abusers do when they face consequences.

seconding this. if you get hit directly in the head with an impact munitions like this or a grenade go immediately to the ER. don't stay to protest with your friends. Don't try to be "tough". your night or day is done. seek medical care

The US record on protecting Afghans who helped our military in that war has been pretty weak to begin with, but now we are deporting them to a very credible risk of death. Why would any other allies on the ground work with the US military in the future?

Medicaid runs with about a 3% overhead. Private insurance runs at 17% overhead. You want to save a few trillion the next 10 years, move to a single payer system. It signal handlely almost pays off the US debt yearly interest rate by itself.

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

Contrary to claims made by its proponents, the mass deportations' components of the Big Beautiful Bill will not improve its CBO score. Indeed, it will make it much worse. Accounting for lost net revenue from immigrants adds nearly $1 trillion in additional cost.

In the 42 years since the start of the Reagan revolution, bought-off politicians have so altered our tax code that fully $51 trillion has moved from the homes and savings of working-class Americans into the money bins of the morbidly rich money hoarders. https://trib.al/O1jiyie

Why are Trump and certain tech billionaires trying to build new dystopian cities and democracy-free "zones"? It reflects a scary tech idea called "The Network State." For @techpolicypress.bsky.social, I wrote about why you should be deeply concerned 👇 www.techpolicy.press/trumps-gaza-...

The way politics works is that Dems pass legislation like the IRA that are explicitly designed to spend more money in red states than blue states, and they get repaid by having the next president illegally seize the money Congress allocated to blue states www.cnn.com/2025/06/06/p...

I honestly don’t know how any party that accepts this — and not saying the dems have — can ever again be competitive enough to overcome gerrymandering and voter inertia. The man did a Nazi salute. What are we doing here??

This seems like a great day to remind Bluesky that Stephen Miller lived four doors down from me freshman year And our student council person asked him (and everyone) to sign a birthday card for our dorm’s janitor And he threw a tantrum and wrote an op-ed about not socializing with “the help.”

Healthcare should be a basic human right. Kicking millions of Medicaid in a pay to play system is social murder. It’s eugenics. It’s telling the most vulnerable in society that they’re not worth protecting. Please keep fighting the Medicaid cuts. Demand Universal healthcare for all!

As I’ve gotten older, one of the things that’s become painfully obvious to me is that men are just as emotional as women, but seem to have a greatly reduced capacity for actually regulating it. And their emotions often only come in one flavor: anger. It’s not biological. It’s culturally ingrained.
