It might not be the worst pop song ever, but “Africa” by Toto is up there. I’m exhausted and cranky in case you couldn’t tell.

We always appreciate @bradlander.bsky.social but never more than when he shows up to protect people. We are horrified that masked federal agents are targeting our neighbors and our electeds. Call YOUR electeds and demand they show up, too! @indivisible.org

I’m sure there are other and possibly better depictions of the world inhabited by Proud Boys and the 3 percenters (ICE agents, basically), but this is the first one that came to my mind. Directed by Costa-Gavras.

If you believe the US is being occupied by anti-democratic fascists and hold Israel, which is in the same position, to a different standard, you should probably unfollow me.

On the “what’s next” call. #nokings

NYC people--early voting is on! May I suggest you include Zohran Mamdani in your choice of five candidates. And it's especially important that you not rank Cuomo at all. Unlike Cuomo, Mamdani LIKES New York City and its residents.

The right is desperate. That doesn’t mean they will relent. We will need to continue pressing for change and steel ourselves for Trump et al. to subject us to even worse treatment.

For anyone in NYC this weekend.

I think a lot of the terror of the modern age can be understood by the fact that the Internet accelerated the development of the worst type of person, the "Anti-Intellectual Nerd."

A cop doing the right thing? I think that i might need my fainting chair!

AOC: “They’re making people undocumented by removing LEGAL status, then having the audacity to call them illegal… correct?” @govpritzker.illinois.gov: “Taking their legal right to be here away.” @aoc.bsky.social: “The Republican majority is anti-LEGAL immigration, I want to make that very clear.”

There is no Constitutional process that will restrain Trump. He understands and yields only to force. Our last hope was that generals might oppose his unlawful orders. They did not. As Commander in Chief, Trump controls the world’s most powerful military. Who is going to stop him?

Because it might come up this weekend, an assault is an act that creates fear of imminent physical attack. The actual touching is a battery.

Kristi Noem is a fucking liar. Her advance team would have recognized Senator Padilla.

He's not "Trump's top general"; he works for us and swore an oath to the Constitution

Project 2025 has the feel of an alternate universe where the South won. Of white Southerners sitting at their grandpappies’ feet listening to grievances about General Sherman. Because its supporters sure seem to want to subdue militarily and occupy much of what was the Union in 1861.

Please Retweet. We are REALLY SEEKING fighting resister followers. We ALWAYS follow back. Where are you?? NO Women seeking men! NO GAMBIA, NO Bitcoin, NO MAGATS! #VoteBlue #LoserTrump

Where are the Clintons? The Obamas? Why are individual Democratic leaders left to fend for themselves? We need another moment on the Capitol steps like after 9/11, with the entire Democratic leadership, past and present, unified. Not only will we feel supported but the MSM will cover it.
