Of course I worry, I would be crazy not to. As you say, no one is safe. The question is what do we do about it? We all need to find our own way to stand up and speaking out. For me that means fighting in court, writing, and speaking in public.

"The media continues to cover politics as if it is still the 1990s. 'Both parties are basically center-right or center-left parties.' The journalism infrastructure in our country wants to pretend that that’s the world that we live in. The instinct is to treat everything politicians say as valid."

JUNETEENTH in Harlem. This is what America is about. Perhaps the most American holiday of all, Juneteenth honors the very best of what this country can be. It’s a celebration of the courage to fight for freedom, even when the cost is steep. It’s sad that the president gets angry over this

When I was young, if we wanted to find the secret rave, we'd have to be smart enough to solve a puzzle with a few clues placed around the city that would eventually lead us to the address. The next G7 should do that.

The ICE "agents" aren't agents. They're bounty hunters who've been deputized. That's why they don't wear uniforms and or provide ID. They get paid $1k-$2k per person. This is state-sanctioned. human trafficking and kidnapping.

The thing about the Khalil case is that it's very very good that he's free now but you can't have it take three months between "the government kidnaps you off the street for no basis reason whatsoever" and "a judge makes them let you go." You just can't.

Mystal: It all goes back to Dobbs. It tells everyone on that side that they’re open for business to take away, to smash, every civil right they don’t like. We’re living in the post-Dobbs era.. it’s going to take some time before the country has a moment of clarity about what’s really happened here.

There was a time when the prospect of Zohran Mamdani's candidacy seemed ludicrous. But over last summer and fall, Mamdani and his team sketched out a three-part plan to get the attention of voters and then to get them to take the young upstart as a serious contender for City Hall.

Compton, CA: A masked, heavily-armed man wearing body armor jumped out of a SUV today to kidnap a local resident. He forgot to put the vehicle in park, causing it to roll down the street damaging other cars. He jumped in the vehicle (which had no platess) and drove off without identifying himself.

While we wait for the Supreme Court to rule in a critical redistricting case from Louisiana, this is what the GOP is up to in Texas and Ohio. Remember the GOP's plan is to make it harder for you to vote and easier for them to cheat.

Federal law has a 48-hour rule that basically says if you’re arrested, you must either be charged and brought before a judge within 48-hours (not incl weekends/holidays) or be released. The family of the Colorado attacker have been held for 2+ weeks without charges filed. Charge them or release!

For those who say “Illegal is illegal.” On this Juneteenth, remember: slavery was once legal. Harboring a fugitive enslaved person? Illegal. Black freedom? Illegal. “Illegal is illegal” has always been used to defend injustice. Legality ≠ morality. Justice calls us higher.
