Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 88 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo (or video) of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

"The legacies of radical thought are not yours to cosplay. We’ve buried mentors and friends who gave everything to this work. They held coalitions together across race, religion, class, and creed... They did not sacrifice so you could embrace nihilism." Incredible, by @bulldogshadow.bsky.social.

We need to build some real social stigma around being afraid of cities. You don't have to like them or live there, but a politics built this strongly around watching TV and going "ewww" is embarrassing, and people should be embarrassed by it. It's like "fear of werewolves" being your top issue.

They're sacrificing the lives of people with cancer, alzheimer's and other diseases in order to maximize tax cuts for billionaires. Here's the thing, though: Billionaires get diseases, too. And where no cure or treatment is found, all their money can't save them, either.

Durbin to Bhattacharya: "I can't understand it. I disagree w/ this admin on so many things. But this is the one that really gets to me personally. To think this nation would walk away from medical research. For God's sake...cancer, your budget requests a 38% cut to the National Cancer Institute"

Greg was the first new client who came to the capital habeas unit after I joined. I spent months scanning and reviewing old documents, talking w people who knew him, trying to get a sense of the man. He’s complicated; he did a terrible thing. But I know this: no one will be safer after he’s dead.

Incredibly chaotic scene Los Angeles as LAPD is pushing forward a skirmish line and violently arresting anti-ICE protesters. You can also hear me grunt when police shoot me in the abdomen with some kind of projectile.

This is one of many reasons why the administration is full of shit with their military nonsense. They don’t care at all about the men and women who serve. They don’t even think of them.

RFK Jr.‘s extreme anti-vax views — and his related conflicts of interest — were a huge problem during his confirmation process. So he promised not to change the vaccine advisory panel. Today, he fired every single expert on that panel. It's a public health disaster.

Really can’t stress the need for 1) More reporting on how horrendously difficult it is to legally come to the United States if you’re not wealthy or highly skilled 2) A greater understanding that immigration is painful. Most people won’t leave their homes unless they’re completely out of options.
