While Trump is deporting landscapers and bricklayers at Home Depot parking lots, he's officially exempting the folks who wash dishes and make beds at hotels...

Hi everyone I was denied entry, detained, and deported from the USA over the last 48 hours because of my reporting on the Columbia student protests I arrived back in Melbourne hours ago and had my phone handed back to me upon landing

Serious question: Members of Congress have to file financial disclosures, right? So why is it ok that @RepMarkGreen won’t say what “private sector opportunity” he’s resigning for… as he sticks around to get the budget passed? Obviously unethical. Maybe unlawful?

Just want to take a moment to shout out the international reporters helping us get the real story out. When an 80-year-old veteran with a walker is hauled off with his hands zip-tied behind his back, and the media spins it as a “threatening breach” of a police barricade

Trump’s move to halt an initiative to restore abundant salmon runs drew condemnation. “The Administration’s decision to terminate these commitments echoes the federal government’s historic pattern of broken promises to tribes,” a tribe member said. With @opb.org‬

This must be why the NY Times headline (on p. 19!) read "Thousands Mobilize for 'No Kings' Demonstrations." I mean, thousands, millions - why quibble?

“As long as there’s somewhere in America where someone is fighting to defend knowledge against ignorance, arguing with facts and not flights of fantasy, or volunteering to make their community a better place, then the spirit of Archimedes and his apostle Bryan Bunch does, indeed,live another day.”

This is serious, rigorous analysis and it should change the way the media has been covering these protests. These were, in the aggregate, massive.

The right to refuse to kill is under attack. EBCO’s new report shows how states across Europe—especially Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Türkiye, and Greece—are criminalizing conscience. Objecting to war is not a crime. It’s a human right!

The Trumpists talk a lot about representing “real America.” How much of a bizarre propagandistic lie this is was on full display yesterday - when a vast, heterogeneous coalition of people mobilized in protest while all the regime offered was an embarrassing, lame, sad excuse of a military parade.

Seriously, MSNBC’s David Noriega and Jacob Soboroff were doing such great reporting from the main LA protest, from different spots, that they showed how law enforcement instigated trouble that just wasn’t happening.

It’s a move that historians worry could lead to the erasure of history involving LGBTQ+ figures, civil rights struggles and other subjects deemed improper by the Trump administration. (Lisa Friedman / New York Times)

Nobody is rioting. Nobody is breaking any laws. These are cops in my city of Las Vegas just assaulting and arresting anyone on Fremont Street who looks at them. This is fascism.

One of those magical clips that somehow gets funnier on each successive viewing. The doofus riding on top; the "important" guy walking alongside the tank; the half-empty grandstands; the wheels squeaking along on an otherwise silent street. You might not like it, but this is ART.

Feel like we take it for granted that the police are not under civilian control but it would sure be good if the mayor demonstrated that they are or they aren't by giving them orders to stop this shit.

A terrific storyteller, @hcrichardson.bsky.social pivots from the real history of the Army’s “birthday” to the ultimate “No Kings” moment, when Washington stepped down from the presidency rather than choosing, as so many other conquerors had, to become dictator. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

I participated in a No Kings protest in a Trump +13 town in rural New England. There were at least 250 demonstrators along the main street. While we did get some middle fingers and some aggro dudes rolling coal, there were far more supportive beeps and friendly waves.

Estimated protesters today: 5 million WaPo: "thousands of Americans" Estimated parade crowd: 100,000 WaPo: "cheering crowds" A reader who missed both might reasonably conclude they involved roughly the same number of people.

Remarkable. MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful." Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd. Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.
