1. In 2025, over 850 anti-LGBTQ+ bills have been filed across the United States - the most in US history. Most bills target transgender people. The bills have also grown more extreme, reverting drivers licenses, arresting trans people in bathrooms, and more. Subscribe to support my journalism.

Is David Brooks not aware there have been millions of people in the streets and boycotting for a couple of months already? The walls of that corporate media bubble are thick. But sure, man, come on along. Everyone is welcome, within reason.

Extremely proud of my Senator for ignoring both the Trump administration and feckless Dems who called Kilmer Abrego Garcia a distraction. He went into a dangerous place and put a lot on the line. Now bring him home.

If you had told me during the Clinton impeachment circus that Alan Dershowitz, Mark Penn, Jonathan Turley, and Mark Halperin would all be full-blown fascists some day, I would have said that you were probably right.

I said this a few months ago, and I'll say it again: Part of our job as citizens is to make ICE as uncomfortable and frustrated as possible. Not just non-cooperation but actively looking for any way to increase their anxiety. Make life as difficult as possible for them. (thread)

The only thing worse than Dems who argue “we shouldn’t take a stand on a clear moral issue bc maybe it will cost votes” is people who tell Dems they shouldn’t.

Winston Churchill observed, “Truth is incontrovertible. Panic may resent it. Ignorance may deride it. Malice may distort it. But there it is.” Refusing to call what is going on by its name - fascism - or wanting not to call attention to it - gives it more power.
