🚨 EMERGENCY PRESS CONFERENCE Columbia/Barnard faculty, Jewish community leaders, immigrant advocates, and rabbis are demanding the immediate release of Mahmoud Khalil from ICE custody. We will not be silent or cower in the face of American Fascism. #FreeMahmoud

Right now there is clear, overwhelming opposition to Mahmoud Khalil’s abduction across the moderate, liberal, progressive & left spectrum. This kind of loud unity is what authoritarians are afraid of. To keep it up we need every institution & public leader to join the chorus.

re the previous repost: if they can disappear permanent residents they can disappear citizens

Only in America could a Ketamine-infused South African oligarch call a navy captain, astronaut and sitting US senator "a traitor" for supporting our allies and standing up to Russia...

the stock market is crashing so hard today it resembles a SpaceX rocket

BREAKING: The Black Lives Matter mural outside the White House is being destroyed. Erased. Not just paint—proof that resistance happened. Proof that Black voices demanded justice. The GOP called for its removal. Now, they got their wish. They don’t just want it gone—they want us to forget.

Overheard: The Tesla Chainsaw Massacre.

“DO YOUR JOB!” TEXAS: @RepKeithSelf’s turn

Brutal.

A reminder for these times.

Musk is acting like he runs the U.S. government—but the Constitution does not allow an unelected super-president We’re taking him & DOGE to court to impose consequences I’ll discuss tonight at 6PM ET on @msnbc.com w/ @jonathancapehart.bsky.social

Musk’s Direct-to-Cell constellation and the U.S. election. Background: This began in 2022 as “digging,” when Musk launched his bid to purchase Twitter at $20B over value, just 49 days after Putin invaded Ukraine. A convo re NATO considering Article 5 over Cyber attacks prompted the original post.

Republicans aren’t hiding anything. Their priorities are written in black and white: trillions of dollars in tax breaks to the rich, while making savage cuts to Medicaid, housing, nutrition and education. The reconciliation bill will make the rich even richer and the poor poorer.

True.

👍

This helps you understand why at Bolts we created a resource called "Who Runs Our Elections," which shows you the local & state offices that are responsible for all this in each & every state: boltsmag.org/whats-on-the... It is bafflingly decentralized... but you don't have to be baffled anymore!

Don’t buy stuff on February 28. Money’s the only thing these dicks understand. #resist

Amen.

Who knew I’d ever be quoting Mike Pence?

The Eagles said “Fuck the White House. We ain’t going” Bruh…. How do you suppose to not like that team? For the one time, Go F*cking Birds

This is probably the most accurate take.

This is where we are now: An elementary school at Fort Campbell has removed all books from its library that so much as *allude* to slavery or the civil rights movement. The wholesale erasure of history in real time.

Dear Governor Kathy Hochul: It's time. You have the power to remove Eric Adams from office as NYC mayor. Take a stand -- and stand up for cleaning up corruption in New York. REMOVE ADAMS NOW. Sincerely, A New Yorker

Do you remember that time Pence tried to see Hamilton and the cast called him out. Or when McConnell was chased out of a resraurant and not allowed a peaceful meal. Or when Cruz abandoned Texas during the deep freeze and we shamed him into going home. That. Do that.

The Indigenous People of North America have decided to go back to calling the Gulf of Mexico, “Chalchiuhtlicueyecatl”. It is what the Nahuatl People originally called it as it is the domain of the goddess Chalchiuhtlicue, who is assoc w/water bodies, including the Gulf of Mexico.

People on X are calling for AOC's arrest for posting this.... so I am posting it everywhere!

We grew up hearing this. The Holocaust & the U.S.’s history of slavery & Jim Crow were constant discussions & profound reminders. Why & how have so many forgotten, are scoffing at the progress we have made, fomenting hate, & ripping apart the Constitution? This country will disintegrate, not rise.

I’m doing this. I buy a lot from small and/or ecologically-minded businesses anyway, but a day with Only small businesses—no gas!—sounds like a brilliant message to me.

I freaking love my governor.💗

Oops 😬

PSA: They’re killing the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau because it protects you from them.

I hope their yelling lifts us up from our Dante-esque descent.

Watching history repeat itself, and watching so many insist that that’s not what’s happening, never mind being the ones recreating it themselves, is so frightening. So frightening. Anyone else getting their go bag together?

Maybe I’m super cynical but I feel like the guy is going to be approved anyway.

people say “just stop doomscrolling” like we’re not literally live-streaming the series finale of american democracy

Operation ICE Ride-Along isn’t going as planned. 🔥 Fox News tagged along with ICE, hoping for an exclusive look at “dangerous criminals.” Instead, they got a whole lot of nothing. No threats, no big arrests—just a community that wasn’t having it. The narrative is falling apart.

UNBELIEVABLE: A 23-year-old rep from Musk’s DOGE just got access to the Energy Department’s IT system—which holds US nuclear weapons info. Energy Sec. Chris Wright approved it despite objections from agency officials. What the FUCK is going on?!

Is this who we are? Never mind, don’t answer that. 🫤🇺🇸

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

the first good post i think i've ever seen from a democratic committee account

This is murder.
