Remember, most of us (I cringe at those words) still have freedom of speech and assembly in this country. But we will keep them only if we use them.

Fetterman must get his news from right wing media. He is circulating a highly unrepresentative picture from LA that is making the rounds of all the usual places.

Reposting this because it’s especially relevant right now.

The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles — not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle. Don't give them one. Never use violence. Speak out peacefully.

While we are distracted by his 6th grade schoolyard fight with Elon, Trump is looking for his Reichstag fire in LA.

I'll probably stop spending money since everything will be too expensive. I'll save so much, I'll be rich! Thank you, President Trump!

We are sending undocumented migrants to a violent prison in El Salvador where prisoners are tortured and never released, and doing it without any semblance of due process. They do forced labor and receive no rehabilitation or recreation. It is an outsourced concentration camp. This is a crime.

Everyone knows about the (((triple parentheses))) that anti-Semites have used to label Jews online. Methinks it is time to have something similar for Nazis and others who use them. Maybe {{{Jack Posobiec}}}, or [[[Jack Posobiec]]]?

GlobalX Airlines (formally, Global Crossing Airlines) operates the majority of deportation flights for US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, including the flights that illegally deported 200 Venezuelan immigrants to a notorious Salvadoran prison on March 15, 2025.

Democratic Senators must vote NO on the budget bill. It gives away congressional control of spending and ratifies many of Trump’s cuts. Also, Schumer should be primaried.

Federally funded programs that followed DEI rules in effect under the Biden administration appear to be receiving heightened scrutiny to determine if their ongoing work was "contaminated" with DEI. I wonder if this is legal. @lawfare.bsky.social

All Democrats in the House must keep a united front and vote NO on the continuing resolution unless they get MAJOR concessions. What's major? Eliminate DOGE, rehire fired federal workers, fund agencies at mandated levels and restore the CFPB and USAID. And yes, that's an AND, not an OR.

Needless to say, our current administration is not a big fan of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which provides funding to many community and public radio stations, especially outside major metro areas. If you can afford it, right now would be a great time to make a financial contribution.

The betrayal of Ukraine by President Trump will go down in history with the betrayal of Czechoslovakia by Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain. Appeasement does not guarantee peace, it gives the adversary encouragement. It does not prevent WW III, it makes it more likely.

A small victory: our Congressman, George Latimer, is finally holding a (virtual) town hall with his constituents on Wednesday, the day after Trump addresses Congress. My question: Will you vote NO on any "must pass" legislation such as a continuing resolution, budget, defense appropriations bill...

This illustrates the true goal of DOGE: to make government work worse for the American people. If you make it harder to people to get a weather forecast or passport or file their taxes, you generate fake support for privatization of government services and more profits for Trump's oligarchs.

Buy two copies of "On Tyranny" by Timothy Snyder. Read one and keep it. Give the other to a friend or leave it in a random place for someone else to read.

Trump called President Zelensky "disrespectful." His behavior and that of his vice president were SHAMEFUL. A country that betrays its allies cannot be trusted. Trump and Vance have thrown away the trust that his predecessors spent decades earning.

The president is breaking our global commitments, turning his back on our allies and cozying up to our adversaries, and by doing so he is making us less secure and diminishing our standing in the world. It seems to me to be intentional, not accidental. Why?

Worth quoting – Congresswoman Shontel Brown (D-OH): "The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice." Like many of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s famous quotations, these words echo through the ages. They offer hope and give rise to a sense that progress...
