“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

It was thirteen years ago today that my dear friend and colleague #MarieColvin was murdered by the Assad regime while on assignment in Syria. Myself, Edith Bouvier and Wa’el were all badly wounded. Remembering them and all the people of #Homs who looked after us and helped in our escape 🙏

Whether or not the J6 choir ends performing there or not, it is time to boycott the Kennedy Center. It is now a purely political enterprise having been hijacked to support an anti-democracy, white supremacist, anti-American agenda. Attending and supporting the institution is aiding that agenda.

NEW: The Trump/Musk blitzkrieg aims to destroy government to advance oligarchy & autocracy—and to crush the Democrats & the progressive agenda. It's an existential crisis. Yet so many Dems are missing in action. In my OUR LAND newsletter, I ask, WTF? Pls share. link.motherjones.com/public/38721...

This is climate arson, yes, but also the entire value proposition of Tesla, the reason for its insane stock price, is that it would end up the Amazon of electric cars: the only real game in town. Killing off non-Tesla electric car infrastructure is a gift to Musk.

We are already at the ‘purging the generals and replace them with loyalists’ part of the Trump second term, just five weeks in. Totally normal. Not dangerous at all

So let's get this straight: The U.S. and Elon are now extorting Ukraine and threatening to turn off their Starlink Internet access unless they give their critical rare earth minerals to the United States? Staggering levels of corruption.

Pay attention to this. Replacing JAGs with loyalists enables whatever orders Trump and Hegseth issue to be interpreted as lawful.

Firing all of the JAGs (Judge Advocates General)—the top lawyers in each service branch—is just as bad as, if not worse than, firing (most of) the Joint Chiefs.

It is mind-boggling to me that people say "but I had to comply with the fascists because otherwise there would be some cost—" NO FUCKING KIDDING. Did you think you'd never have to make a hard choice in Fascist America? That you wouldn't be asked to sacrifice someone and be rewarded for it?? JFC

If this Republican congressman is, in fact, found guilty of assaulting a woman, he'll make a great addition to Trump's Cabinet.

Just told a heartbreaking story of a foster parent who took in a 16 year old girl whose parents got taken away. The ice agents gave her the choice of going with her parents or going into foster care. Her parents begged her to stay for her safety. And they said goodbye to her.

As Dr. Frizzle suggested (below) we need to shout out as we did in COVID. In NYC we opened windows & banged pots & pans. Now let’s do it in opposition to the Trump regime. Every day, 1 minute at 7:00 pm. It’s safe, it’s easy & a glorious community-building cacophony that would piss Trump off.

Most people probably aren’t tracking this but Senate Republicans just started an all-night voting marathon that will allow them to gut Medicaid and increase child hunger while giving handouts to billionaires like Elon Musk.

I really appreciate @jamellebouie.net giving Matt Yglesias the benefit of the doubt about having basic literacy skills. Remember: this is the guy that wrote the toilet paper of a book One Billion Americans. Harvard Legacy Admission, in flesh and bones.
