He’s been pulling this for years, causing one constitutional meltdown to cover the last mess, counting on the media to chase shiny objects like a Chihuahua on a sugar high. But some of us ain't letting go. Some of us are pit bulls, and we want the Epstein files.

beyond the thin veneer of concern behind all of these opeds is the much simpler truth that their authors desperately want to describe something that is very obviously their problem (fewer people want to post in the venues they like more) as though it were our problem

This is the story Trump wants buried. And the media will comply unless we keep talking about it, and demand that Republican members of Congress answer for it.

Statistically “America” is its cities. But we’re stuck with an 18th century political architecture that gives votes to cornfields & thus makes it politically viable to treat them as some kind of weird tumor.

I was a twelve-year-old girl living in Cleveland when Kent State happened. That left an impression. Starting then I stopped trusting men in uniform, stopped seeing police as “preserving and protecting” and started being a radical. Those feelings are growing stronger again. So is the fear.

The people of Los Angeles will rally on Monday, 6/9 to demand the release of everyone unjustly detained by ICE, like SEIU leader David Huerta, and an end to militaristic escalation on our communities. Join us and @aclusocal.bsky.social at 11 AM in LA to call for an end to these human rights abuses.

Like you I am focused on Los Angeles. But we better learn to multitask. Because we need to also stay focused on this: Trump turned over the staffing, funding & inner workings of our federal agencies to a man who attacked his Treasury Secy & who he tells us is a drug addict.
