We can only hope!

an American flag is not going to be a magic shield against the kind of people who would shoot at medics

He's going to do it regardless of circumstances.

Knowing the mentality of FOTUS and his sycophants, this man will probably be hired as an “official ICE officer” and be told to wear a mask. #47IsAFailure

This is the same attitude in Boston. Lock the school, do not let anyone unknown in. Agents in alignment with Trump’s horrors will try to seep in any way they can to brutalize and traumatize.

Protest peacefully, be safe. 💙🙏

We kicked holocaust denier Ernst Zündel out of Canada. Why the hell would we let Elon Musk have any claim on Canada? He is a fascist threatening the people of Ukraine. I am proud to be helping drive this asshole from our shores. www.ctvnews.ca/canada/artic...

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die. Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

Sorry I missed your call, the frogs had my phone again.

It would be easier were this truly the end of the world, for in that case you would be free to do nothing. But this is not the end of the world, just the end of the world as you knew it, and so in this case you are obligated to do something.

If anyone is having trouble following my (increasingly long) thread tracking incidents where police assaulted journalists at protests in Los Angeles this weekend, it's also in spreadsheet form here. This is the more organized version I've been sending to lawyers, agency chiefs, electeds, etc.

Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption “this… is… not… peaceful.” What he didn’t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.
