I'd also be interested in reading Cornel West, Gloria Steinem, Arlie Russell Hochschild, David W. Blight, Nell Painter, Dahlia Lithwick, Zephyr Teachout, Randi Weingarten and many others' reflections on having signed the Harper's Letter. What do they think now? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Lette...

No sleep for ICE tonight as activists found their hotel again. Hotel managers have to decide whether that GSA per diem money is worth having their hotel completely surrounded 24/7 by protesters.

In case you're wondering, authoritarians use this strategy of escalation to manufacture crisis, provoke outrage, then use the reaction to justify repression. It’s not about restoring order, it's about creating a spectacle of chaos they can claim only they can control.

A reminder. Folks are showing up across the country. Blocking ICE wherever they are, protecting their neighbors. People will be out Saturday. Can't make it to somewhere big? Show up at a nearby intersection. All it takes is a sign (and maybe some friends for company, and some water).

I really feel for pro athletes who are struggling. And I would never call one out by name. I have no doubt they want to succeed more than any of us want it. But, as a fan watching a terrible outing, sometimes I'm just hoping that it's gonna be enough to get my team to pull the plug.

How many Harper’s Letter signatories, esp from the right, have spoken out against this vs smatterings of violence in LA? My on-going frustration w and refusal to let go of the Harper’s Letter is bc its facile dangerous bothsiderism was obvious from the start, but has imposed ZERO costs on signers.

Let's not pretend Trump actually wants to help Los Angeles. Trump is deploying the military on American soil to stoke MORE conflict and MORE violence. Every Republican that remains silent is enabling him to trample over the constitutional rights of the American people.

At no point in this entire article of 16 paragraphs does ABC mention that another cop killed this cop by shooting her in the back. Nor does it mention the name of the cop who killed this cop. Nor does it mention that the civilians involved never fired at them. ABC might as well be state media.

the idea of fingerwagging your way into protest discipline is deeply delusional for a number of reasons, chief among which is that the cops' decisions are among the biggest determinants of how protests ago. it's like being perplexed at people for using umbrellas while ignoring the weather

The cop yelling about how it’s all your fault after the cops shot you in the head. Really sums it up.

I want to report some good news from LA: ICE picked a hotel in Pasadena to be their headquarters for this side of the city. The residents of Pasadena (myself included) would not stand for this and protested all yesterday in front of the hotel until, eventually, the hotel kicked out ICE!!

#MAGAMurderBudget is what simply, aptly, powerfully ties together the efforts to steal cures and care, retirement and protections, abductions and financing the means to more fully criminalize and punish dissent. We can both/and here.

Just a general note that if you want to support a union, listen to what the union actually wants you to do in support and then just do that! You do not have to invent new initiatives and actions we actually want to make it quite easy for you!

Idyllic afternoon in #Seattle! Glad I got to spend a portion of it at Magnuson Brewery with the 46th District Democrats.
