In this week's 1-on-1, renowned author Michael Lewis joins Harry to talk about his new book, Who Is Government? They discuss what makes our country's civil workers tick, why they’re the hidden heart of our democracy, and what we lose when we forget them. Link: bit.ly/LewisTF

LA is home to nearly a million undocumented immigrants. If you live here, you know someone living that reality whether you know it or not. It’s part of what makes this city what it is—and no, we’re not living in fear because of them.

Imagine if someone working for Biden or Obama said this. This is a Nazi regime.

Yep, as Trump’s ex-fixer Michael Cohen wrote this morning on Substack, “like a toddler with a sparkler, screaming that the streets of LA are “under siege” and that, without him, the city would be a smoldering pile of liberal rubble.” it’s what he does

Double.

Every time I see that video of Stephen Miller in high school in Santa Monica saying ‘he is sick and tired of being told to pick up his trash because they have janitors to do it for him’ I am reminded how different life is on the west coast. Try that sh*t in 80’s NY.

If you haven’t heard of Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove… you have now. When she stepped out from the back without missing a beat, I knew it was on🔥 @kamlager-dove.house.gov

Look, Newsom pissed Democrats off and we are pissed for good reason. HOWEVER... His behavior in this critical moment is exactly what is needed. You don't have to like him. Politics isn't marriage. We need strong fighters. He is one and he oversees the largest economy in this country.

Brand-new polling from YouGov out this AM finds Trump's actions re: LA underwater. Double-digit disapproval on sending in Marines. This should be a reality check for those people arguing the protests inherently help Trump bc his immigration approval # is positive. today.yougov.com/topics/polit...

The news media and people on social media don’t use the term “convicted felon” enough to refer to Trump. It’s not a cheap insult — it’s a stone cold fact. And deeply relevant as we assess what he’s doing day after day.

Billionaire Walmart heiress Christy Walton is paying for a full page ad in the New York Times entitled ‘No Kings’ and MAGA are now calling to boycott Walmart. This is funny AF. 🤣

Don’t fuck with California.

You fight for a zygote, but cheer when a child is ripped from a mother‘s arms by ICE. Tells me everything I need to know about you.

The Trump junta is indistinguishable from the worst features of totalitarianism. It’s devoid of any theme or principle except greed, revenge, appetite & White Christian racial domination. It revels in all forms of human wickedness, in its cruelty, aggression, disregard for decency & the rule of law.

This is an *extremely* good speech. Give it a listen.

A key distinction

The First Amendment specifically prohibits the government from using heavy force on citizens who protest the government. bsky.app/profile/atru...

It is a disgrace that the Department of Defense continues to post partisan political messages on social media and a disgrace that the DHS Secretary is making political statements about elections from the Oval Office. They piss on this country’s traditions daily. bsky.app/profile/atru...

TONIGHT: at 7 PM ET: KNOW YOUR RIGHTS training for the upcoming NO KINGS events this Saturday: act.aclu.org/a/2025-kyr-t...

They aren't even pretending anymore that they're responding to rioting or lawlessness. They're calling out the military and threatening large-scale violence against people engaged in lawful protest *because they're engaged in lawful protest*.

Amendment Number One would like a word

My strong instinct is that Trump's threats against Americans' first amendment right to peaceably assemble is going to massively juice attendance at Saturday's protests. www.nokings.org

We do not and have never had an immigration "problem" or an immigration "crisis" in this country. We do, however, have a xenophobia and racism problem, and it's getting worse.

🚨Secret police! Do you accept secret police? My family fled from Argentina where secret police jailed my grandfather & killed my dad's best friend's father as well as about 30,000 other Argentinians. When people conceal their identities, no one's safe! Anyone could be taken, even me and you.

Really important that no one read this @orlandosentinel.com reporting when it publishes. I'm setting up alerts just to make sure I don't accidentally read it and share it widely when the time comes

🎯 Cross cutting traditional social cleavages (bridging social capital) in service of shared values, which in turn makes the society/community harder to divide and conquer. That’s why.

Some are saying that our news media aren't up to the task at hand.

Leaders from other countries should think twice about sending their athletes to the Los Angeles Olympics.

@donwinslow.bsky.social nails it.

Concerning!

It's the Washington Monument in the background that really takes this to next-level dystopian
