Fridays shouldn’t be this hard. Not so hard you shut down movement, thinking, clacking away on your keyboard — those precedents were over 100 years old part of our country’s identity. But then, so are immigrants, going even further back.

I love @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social He’s smart, thoughtful, socially conscious; great at finding people who are living the stories he’s following and who are willing to share with his audience.

Where on earth did we find so many Harvard educated Supreme Court justices to so completely ignore the 150+ years of precedent set by the 14th Amendment? Not all of them were appointed by Trump. I am vomiting.

Police say: If citizens encounter a matter where it appears that someone is impersonating law enforcement, they should call 911, but police also state they don't know who's ICE. So how the hell are we supposed to know if it’s ICE or a kidnapping? Solution: call 911 every time you see "ICE". #ICE

This is great news, but I'm not breathing a sigh of relief just yet. Republicans will no doubt try to sneak a new provision in that clears this procedural hurdle. But this is a sign of what's possible with public pressure, so if you care about your public lands, keep it up.

Are we kidding with this? Is it The Hunger Games out there? Wait, that’s what they want. That’s what Miller and Trump want, isn’t it?

My relatives in East L.A. — born in the U.S.A. — are afraid to go outside because masked men with guns are randomly snatching people off the street. This is a government terrorism campaign against its own people.

Instead of CUTTING Social Security benefits, Congress should INCREASE payments by $200 per month and extend the solvency of the Social Security program by 75 YEARS. How? Make the wealthiest Americans pay a fairer share. I’ve got a bill to get it done.

What if we turn our collective attention to the spineless Republicans who need to be confronted with huge numbers of constituents? Now that Elon isn’t around to bolster Mr. Orange, now that the crowds didn’t show up for his parade, maybe we press forward on old plays and pursue elected Republicans.

Kamala Harris would be our President and Tim Walz would be our Vice President if it weren’t for Elon.

Head to Broadway and Duane if you can - no signs, no campaign swag please.

@elfriends.bsky.social hey El! Staying on point I see. You should post some of your pictures from the march on Saturday.

If that’s what they do to a United States Senator with a question, imagine what they can do to any American that dares to speak up. We will hold this administration accountable.

He’s nothing but a coward who can’t walk up the stairs to Air Force One or articulate a rationale for doing his ILLEGAL, immoral and dangerous actions. He, Stephen Miller and Tom Homan should be under investigation for their attacks on the US Constitution and the values we hold dear.

Don’t surrender in advance. Protest when & where you can. If you see the “government” acting in a fascistic manner, call it out.

The number of people in the streets on 6/14 should be whatever number will make Stephen Goebbels Miller shit his pants. #NoKings

Love @gtconway.bsky.social for finding and posting this bit from Tim Miller.

Can one of my wise congressmen/women start drafting a bill for all the emoluments that Trump & family are collecting to: keep a running tally & be ready to force disgorgement? @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @repjasmine.bsky.social @raskin.house.gov That would be great.

Dear #Iowa When you elect a fascist dumpster fire like #JoniErnst you hurt the rest of us. Do better. Sincerely, The parts of America that know we don’t have to feed poor people into a woodchipper to fertilize billionaires’ 4th homes’ gardens p.s. “Senator” Ernst - fuck all the way off. #GOPGhouls

Do not accidentally express yourself. Remember. Stay private. Can you do this? Analysis of the smile is particularly important. Do not. They try to ensure the smile threshold is triggered. Do not. ‘When the World Ended’, a poem by @joriegraham.bsky.social: www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

Brilliant opportunity for all those newly unemployed DOJ attorneys. I hope some of them get new offers or ideas.

No, Trump administration, you can’t just do away with due process because the Orange man wants it. He’s not a king.

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.

Please don’t take our precious national lands for granted. Don’t take our natural resources as a gift for the benefit of the well-placed friends of the orange menace. Once the resources are gone we can’t get them back.

The reporter might be brave enough, but who will publish it?
