Everything he says about deportation camps on military bases is spot on—and alarming. But don’t get thrown off by the name Blackwater. It’s still out there—rebranded. Blackwater became Xe in 2009, then Academi in 2011, before merging into Constellis in 2014. The name changed but the op lives on. 🧵

Be patient with people who are still grappling with the fact that the past is gone and the future is no longer guaranteed. Better to continue remembering how it's always been and continue to apply traditional ways of coping to the situation at hand. Of course I'm talking about global warming.

In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night. 800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream. There is a movement to be harnessed here. @sanders.senate.gov (📸 Anna Bahr)

With today's update from the NAACP, a reminder that Rosa Parks sparked a citywide bus boycott in 1955 as black Montgomery organized carpools, cabs charged a dime a ride, and housewives were forced to drive their "help" to work. It took a year for the company to buckle. Just thought I'd mention it.

Nowhere near ready for a general strike, which historical studies show requires 3.5 percent of the population (that's 10 million Americans) to reach critical mass. Give it a year I'm reckoning. if participating in No Presidents Day, take videos & photos please ❤️ if networks decide to ignore it.
