Proud today to be born in L.A. and thinking of an immigrant ancestor who came to California to find contractor work rebuilding San Francisco after the 1906 earthquake, like the Home Depot workers after the fires.

It is so frustrating when people say that Trump needs a pretext to escalate or a reason to be authoritarian. There is no justification for either and he has already done both without needing an excuse. This is what abusers do. They victimize regardless of what their victims do

This is true bravery, and my heart is with every single soul who put their own safety on the line to protest fascism

Been thinking about this 1963 photo from the Civil Rights Movement that made Americans realize what was going on in Birmingham. If engagement algorithms had been around, though, who would have seen this and who would just be scrolling through crappy AI memes of Bull Connor?

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

DON’T TUNE OUT! #DogeKills. I keep updating the heartbreaking numbers of DOGE-cut USAID victims. At today’s @teslatakedown.com I could not get the customers who were in the showroom to look. @indivisible.org @wallingfordindivis.bsky.social

I love Los Angeles.

This is so jarringly unAmerican that I sort of hope it wakes some normies up. It is occurring in a context where military-style equipment is being used to enforce immigration roundups and conveys the notion that we are increasingly living in a police state.

Turn it off. Stop using it. Turn it off. Stop. Stop. Stop. If every time I was wrong about something, a gallon of precious water was boiled into the sky, my neighbourhood got polluted and someone lost their job, people would stop asking me things.

*attenborough voice* like the mighty salmon, elon musk can already sense that his end is near... and so now begins his last great journey, swimming relentlessly upstream to the garbage centrist democrat spawning grounds where his lifecycle began

“I was happy to work with a man I knew was pedophile until he cut my EV credit” is such a hilarious rich person sentiment

Elon Musk genuinely thought firing thousands of government workers and killing hundreds of thousands of people by cutting foreign aid was going to make people love him. The moment that didn’t happen, he went down a spiral he’ll never escape from and it’s kind of nice to watch.

New piece! Media coverage of Kilmar Abrego Garcia hurt Trump, not Democrats. An actually data-driven analysis of some stale conventional wisdom. Alt title: Matt Yglesias is wrong about Democrats and Abrego Garcia🧵

63% of American adults had unfavorable views of Martin Luther King Jr in August 1966, per Gallup surveys 46% of Mississippi GOP voters said interracial marriage should be illegal in a 2011 PPP poll to push w/e is popular instead of trying to popularize justice is to admit you lack moral leadership

I’m not alone in this revelation or anything but it would be great if Democrats actually noticed Republicans aren’t getting agitated and defensive about taco trucks or raising the debt. They’re getting agitated and defensive when you point out their budget bill will kill people.

So Google's idea of the future is that teachers after a long week of grading their kids' AI-generated papers are being encouraged to receive appreciation that is LLM-generated.

There will come a future neo-woke era, brother shark, when there are museums devoted to Elon Musk's victims and an understanding that no one is going to live in a house on fucking Mars.

Rubio says no one is dying from USAID cuts. This reporter went to Africa and says that's not true. www.msnbc.com/the-last-wor...

Yeah even though his guy lost me with "All That You Can't Leave Behind" I might have to be pro-Bono again. In high school he was the reason I knew what Amnesty International was.

every article about politics in every mainstream publication is flat out lying to you if it does not emphasize that our government has been taken over by freaks and lunatics
