As a criminal defense attorney, the vast majority of my cases were NOT immigrants. So let's stop pretending immigrants are the problem when there's a 34-count convicted felon sitting in the White House. The hypocrisy is outrageous.

Earlier today, someone created a massive network of empty Bluesky accounts with repetitive biographies such as "Ireland based, interested in travel", "Netherlands based, interested in fashion", "Turkey based, interested in technology", and so on. Thus far, the purpose of these accounts is unclear.

"At its most fundamental level, the project of public history in the early twentieth century South was the archiving of white civilization.”--W. Fitzhugh Brundage This is exactly what the Trump administration wants institutions like the Smithsonian and the National Park Service to return to. 🗃️

OTD in 2022 we attacked a railway station full of civilians at Kramatorsk killing 60+. We claimed we didn't have the missile that did it cos the hard part about doing propaganda is that the past changes so quickly you have no idea what will happen yesterday.

Now listen to this in the context of the SCOTUS’ decision. Yes, you can get a lawyer and file a habeas petition IF you can get a lawyee. But when wheels go up on the flight you are gone. And from what we’re seeing in the Garcia case this Admin will fight like hell to keep you gone.

Jackie Robinson on the 1964 GOP convention: "A new breed...has taken over the GOP....which is seeking to sell to America a doctrine which is as old as mankind--the doctrine of racial division...racial prejudice...white supremacy....I now believe I know how it felt to be a Jew in Hitler's Germany.

We need to stop treating SCOTUS like a legitimate institution. Been saying this since Roe fell. Not only will the courts not save us, a majority of SCOTUS justices have abandoned the rule of law to serve Trump and MAGA.

During WWI, over 12,000 Native Americans served in the U.S. military — despite not having U.S. citizenship at the time. Their courage and sacrifice laid the foundation for future recognition. We honor their legacy and service.

The reality is that academia, especially elite academia, has been far too solicitous of right-wing ideology, largely because of the exertion of wealth and government power. In a fair, objective world, these "ideas" would be treated as bigoted nonsense and paid propaganda.

The wealthy have intentionally destroyed class consciousness so that they can exploit the vast majority of people. If we’re going to fight back and ultimately win this class war, it’s time we got familiar with how our politics actually work. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/a-thorough...

Disinformation ≠ Misinformation — The Language of Distortion. We throw around terms like “fake news” and “disinfo.” But if we don’t define them clearly, we help the problem spread. Let’s break down the differences—and why they matter.

again: the goal is to collapse the economy. Whatever they say is secondary. Trump basically made that point himself today with the video he shared, because he can't help himself and has no filter. You have to focus on what they do not what they say.
