My high school age son has a classmate just seized by ICE and she is now in a cell in Louisiana, her phone seized. This is High School in the USA in 2025. More Au Revoir Les Enfants than Ferris Bueller. School and community response already in motion.

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

The fundamental flaw of broken authoritarian narcissists (the core of the right-wing coalition) is that they view empathy as a finite resource, such that, if you extend it to one group, you can't extend it to another. They see all of life through a lens of scarcity, competition, & selfishness.

Just about every Republican/Trumpist complaint about public transportation is a poorly disguised version of “there are too many black people.”

This guy stole $10 million from the employees of his nursing home to buy himself a luxury yacht and Cartier watches. He PLED GUILTY. And because his Mom gave Trump $1 million, he just got a pardon. And this story barely makes the news today. WTF. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/27/u...

Welcome to Trump's America, where you can bribe the president in exchange for legal immunity. The United States was founded on the principle that everyone is subject equally to the law. MAGA is converting us into a mafia state, a haven for obscene criminality.

A cast bronze memorial to the police officers who defended the Capitol on Jan. 6 declares that "their heroism will never be forgotten." But the memorial itself has been forgotten, left in storage because Johnson's office has not had it hung @joeheim.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

Black people cannot cure racism because it is not OUR problem. It is white people’s disease. Period. It’s contagious. Yes. But until yall decide to cure that cancer, we will continue this cyclical dehumanization of others

I wish journalists would stop framing political news as wins or losses for politicians or political parties. It’s an abrogation of our mission. Why do we keep doing this? Is the spending bill a win or loss for the American people? Who does it help? Who does it hurt? Is it sound policy? Fiscally?

if dems want messaging help, stop telling people you're "fighting back." it sounds like you're being mugged. call off the podcaster search, take your ridiculous money pile and try opening some food banks and free clinics. hurricanes are coming and the feds have no plan. looks like an opening to me.

When I had my hysterectomy, I was told recovery would be quick because I was young, fit & otherwise healthy. They were wrong. The surgeon made an error and despite signs of post op bleeding, discharged me & went on vacation. When I returned to the ER, I was ignored & gaslit 🧵

Georgia high school production of "The Crucible" is canceled after parent complaints that it "was demonic and disgusting." @hesherman.bsky.social: "the play about witch hunts, about the persecution of people out of hysteria...had provoked the same moral persecution it portrayed as unjust."

The absolute disgrace taking place today in front of cameras in the White House is yet another reminder that for all the talk of Joe Biden's failures, the people who failed America the most are our citizens. Empowering this guy (again) was a foreseeable disaster we'll be lucky to survive.
