19 years old and this moral-imbecile is allowed to play with the intricate controls of the ship of state.

At this juncture I’d like to point out: * we’re on the brink of a golden age of medical healing * there’s enough money in the world to solve every problem in the world * a united approach could stop the climate crisis But a small group of sociopaths seeking personal power are going to throw it away.

Trump's threat to arrest Governor Evers is a chilling attempt to normalize fascism & silence dissent. They want to bully & intimidate anyone who doesn't conform to their ideology. We will NOT be intimidated. We will NOT be silenced. We will DEFEND our freedom.

Just to state the obvious: immigrants should be treated with dignity and respect – not thrown in jails (at times without any due process), where neglect, abuse, and deaths are rampant.

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 49 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

i have been on the uncredited end of some state- and national-level fuckos refusing to cite my work in my day but this is just really the fuck fucked up in an era where indie journalists are doing the hardest work at great risk to themselves

URGENT, BATAVIA, NY !! TONIGHT!! Farm Worker leaders kidnapped & detained earlier today!

The fake Boston Globe front page of what a Trump presidency would look like from 2016 seems awfully fuckin' quaint now. All of it is happening, the only real difference is, in this fantasyland, the military refuses to do some of it.

When a government cancels a $50 million suicide hotline for LGBTQ teens, but keeps its $92 million birthday parade for its president, it is no longer a great, or even a good country. It’s a tinpot dictatorship.

Thousands of protestors shut down Paris, France for May Day, they called for workers solidarity, an end to Israel’s genocide of Gaza, and an end to oligarchy. #3E #MayDay #EndImpunity #EndOligarchy

All of this for some students watching a documentary on campus. Fucking ridiculous.

Nazi Germany surrendered in May 1945. For Americans, the Second World War would rage for three more months, until VJ Day in August. But for Russians and those influenced by them, "Victory Day" falls in May. Trump follows the Russian practice, not the American.

Should this happen, the event would be countered by a massive turnout of citizens protesting his birth.

NPR Morning Edition had Steve Bannon on yesterday, and PBS News Hour has Chris Rufo on right now. What the fuck is wrong with you??? What possible reason is there to platform these lying assholes???

Recently, when I have argued publicly for a path to permanent legal status for the undocumented, I have been making a deliberate effort to highlight the way in which legalization can *reduce* labor exploitation.

Abolish ICE It was absolutely the right call 7 years ago, and more so now, with nightly reports of violent raids gone awry, strip-searching tourists, and snatching student op-ed writers How America created a secret police, and how to get rid of it. My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/ice-...

JD Vance is a constant full-time walking talking generic New Yorker cartoon caption.

Back in the '90s, David Broder said of Bill Clinton and the White House, "He came in here and he trashed the place, and it's not his place." Though I never thought that was altogether fair, the line came to mind looking at this image.

A wheelchair-using UNC student who was physically assaulted by police when they broke up the school’s anti-genocide encampment has since had a prestigious scholarship rescinded, been criminally charged, doxxed and constantly surveilled because of her Palestine activism. www.wunc.org/education/20...

The top 220 $Trump meme coin buyers will be invited to an exclusive dinner and White House tour, and in the days since the announcement, “buyers have poured tens of millions of dollars” into the coin. This doesn’t create the “appearance” of corruption—this IS corruption.

Harvard Law professor Michael Klarman gave an inspiring lecture about the need for lawyers to protect democracy. I was honored that he noted the attacks and threats aimed at me. His words serve to steel my spine and make me more committed than ever to fighting for democracy. Thank you professor.🙏

Wrote about this many years ago on Twitter, but your actual goal should be 5 trains/buses an hour - so a 12 minute interval. This breaks a couple of important psychological barriers for people, based on research by TfL (London's transport operator). Will explain. 🧵 /1

The NYT Editorial Board comprises a little over a dozen writers and editors clustered around the American political center. Every editorial is a negotiation between them. By design, it cannot produce novel, interesting ideas outside that consensus. By design, it does not reflect public opinion.

See, if Trump gave everyone due process, someone guilty of multiple crimes might exploit a million loopholes and delay tactics to get away with it. CAN YOU IMAGINE?

This is a widely inaccurate & dangerous mischaracterization. The vaccine was developed in fetal cells obtained from two elective abortions in the early 1960s. There is not abortion debris floating around in the vaccine. And the Vatican has okayed its use. RFK Jr. is again spreading disinformation.

This guy, Dom Lucre, shared child sexual abuse material on Twitter, got banned for it, and then Musk reinstated him. Absolutely wild to see him being treated like a real journalist.

The process was so messy that eight women were among those flown to be incarcerated in the Salvadoran prison, an all-male facility, and had to be swiftly returned.

America decided they couldn't vote for the for the black woman and were willing to gamble on the guy who fucked up the first time and tried to overthrow the government when he was told to leave because they wanted lower prices. So now you get fascism and higher prices.

“Putting a hat on a hat” is literally a term actual comedians use to describe something as trying so hard to be funny it is no longer funny.

Only Trump knows the truth. Trump’s Truth is THE truth. You must agree with Dear Glorious Leader Trump God Emperor’s Truth. Yes 😵‍💫

This dude is an antisemitic grifter who got suspended from Twitter for posting CSAM. Now he's in the White House press briefing room. We've fallen far beneath any bottom we might have once had.

If the mainstream media companies had any spine, they would give zero coverage or screen time to these state-media briefings. This isn't fucking North Korea--these people are a joke and don't deserve to be treated remotely seriously.

AGI is coming for all of us. It will write symphonies, direct movies, and author the best novels. The only thing it won’t be able to do is VC investing, which must be reserved as a task only for the most-special people

I didn’t find out that I was neurodivergent until adulthood. It radically changed my life for the better and allowed me to contribute more to society than I ever could in my ignorance. RFK Jr. is an evil eugenicist who projects his failures onto Americans that actually help make this country great.

What an image! Venezuelan men who narrowly avoided being imprisoned by Trump in El Salvador without trial (saved by the Supreme Court) spelled out an SOS to a @reuters.com camera drone observing the Bluebonnet ICE facility. 11 days ago, buses to the airport were turned around at the last second.

Having spent time listening and watching the BBC, the obsequiousness of US journalists will never cease to amaze me. “Yes sir, with all due respect sir, let’s agree to disagree sir”. Here’s a tip: the response to “you’re not being very nice” is “are you the president or a toddler?”

I don’t even have a paid account. Here you go, Governor

my reaction to this is not "oh Trump's losing it" it's "the entire point of fascism is that the leader declares reality and everyone else has to follow it".

Attending a conference where researchers in my field (studying online misinformation and manipulation) are commiserating over all of our canceled grants, all in service of this: so this man and his regime of propagandists and conspiracy theorists can dictate (un)reality without challenge.

I know I’m annoying with this. But the immediate shift to threat and power wielding, to belittling and gaslighting, the lean forward in the posture, the cadence shift when the interviewer says “it was photoshopped” - abuser tactics 101. When he says “you’re not being very nice,” DARVO 101.

I think the other way to look at it is more upsetting but pre accurate unfortunately, which is that this is the leader of a fascist movement creating a “truth” through lieing in the way that he is about this specifically. He is creating unreality to justify abomination.

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 46 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

The 19 richest U.S. households saw a $1 trillion wealth increase in 2024, a rise that exceeds the size of Switzerland’s economy. These 19 households now control $2.6 trillion in wealth — almost as much wealth as the bottom 50% of American households. If this isn't an oligarchy, what is?

I love adding this one data point to economic charts. It works every time.

Yes, this is a real tweet.

The giant sucking sound is foreign car manufacturers moving their factories to Mexico
