Oh…

"I don't know."

Pope Francis’ Popemobile, “the very vehicle from which he waved and was close to millions of faithful all around the world, is being transformed into a mobile health unit for the children of Gaza.” www.vaticannews.va/en/pope/news...

🚨 @markwarner.bsky.social , question for you, if you’re protecting your GOP friends from the embarrassment of their embracing of his anti-American crusade, are you really upholding your oath to protect the constitution and serve your constituents? They would happily dispose of you for power.

When I voted for Kamala, I was saying: I care about Gaza AND you. When others voted for Stein, they were saying: We care about Gaza, BUT NOT you. See the difference. Rational people understood the financial and political constraints on Kamala, and also understood that she would be a FAR

55 years ago today, four Kent State students were killed on campus by Ohio National Guardsmen for protesting the Vietnam War Why does it feel like this is what Trump means by Make America Great Again?

Those epic battle scenes in space are awesome—and physically impossible. But hey, it’s more fun this way! www.wired.com/story/the-ph...

Can’t a secretary be impeached?

I think a lot about what Carl Sagan said in one of his final interviews.

Prime Minister Mark Carney 🇨🇦 "Large American online platforms have become seas of racism, misogyny, antisemitism, Islamophobia and hate in all its forms ... My government will act." #cdnpoli

This hits hard—and says everything about where we are right now. A Yale professor says he’s relocating to Canada to continue his democracy work. When asked why not stay in the U.S. and fight, he says he has two Black sons and he’s the son of a Holocaust survivor—and this is an “anti-Black moment”.

🚨 @peters.senate.gov @slotkin.senate.gov When you get back to work on Monday, will you help protect us from being kidnapped and sent overseas without due process? Is that worthy of your attention? Or do you have another unqualified appointment to vote for?

Sending innocent people to prison without due process is a crime against our democracy.

Pet rocks are making a come back! 💕

We all must stand up every single day. "If the founding history of this country is any guide, those who stood up in court to vindicate constitutional rights and, by so doing, served to promote the rule of law, will be the models lauded when this period of American history is written." -Judge Howell

WHAT TO DO IF ICE COMES KNOCKING 1) REMEMBER YOU HAVE RIGHTS 2) ICE CAN AND WILL LIE TO YOU 3) THEY CANNOT ENTER WITHOUT A WARRANT SIGNED BY A JUDGE 4) THEY WILL USUALLY NOT HAVE A WARRANT SIGNED BY A JUDGE AND WILL OFTEN LIE AND SAY THEY HAVE ONE. ASK TO SEE IT BEFORE THEY ENTER

This is the right emphasis. The framers were deeply flawed and the Constitution itself needs to be reformed but the civic virtues that the Constitution rests on are worth preserving and putting into practice.

We should have a North American Union. The borders represent opportunities to connect, grow, and lift the human condition. This backslide into racism and protectionism around the border is about fear and weakness—we must rise above it and mature as a people.

The US government, which has claimed it has to destroy American universities because a few pro-Palestinian protesters are evidence of unchecked anti-Semitism, is defending an actual neo-Nazi party in Germany.

Recently visited Germany. I was reminded several times the lesson that right wing extremism needs to be stopped. Let’s stop right wing extremism.

The whole, "You don't get due process or legal rights if you are maybe possibly a bad person" stuff going on down south is truly fucked up, but if they're gonna do it, they've got a list of Republican politicians who should go first to try it out

If this row of townhomes from the 1800s still existed today it would be a beloved part of the City with extensive historic designations placed on it to protect it. However, based on heavily restrictive modern zoning, nothing like it could ever be built here today. 📍Newton, MA

Veterans Day has always meant reflection on not only the bravery and heroism , but the sacrifices and horrors of war. Wars are not won, they’re survived. The U.S. is being driven into decline by traitors.

If only there were an emoluments clause in the Constitution that the Congress could impeach him for.

Convicted criminal who donated $1.8 million to Trump campaign gets pardon. FUN FACT: bribery is a separate impeachable offense. Not so fun fact: congressional Republicans will never investigate this. But, if Democrats retake congress…. apnews.com/article/niko...

New in PN: @therickwilson.bsky.social on Marco Rubio's great debasement "He’s not only betrayed every value he ever claimed to have, but he’s profoundly — at a level I can barely articulate — harming the country. It’s an astounding comedown for a guy who was once thought of as someone of principle"

Can I trade in my totally pleasant Senators, for some reps who can meet the moment? Tired of boiler-plate, this is all normal BS while people are disappeared and allies become enemies. I get it, most Michiganders will be fine under fasicsm, but at what cost? 🚨 @peters.senate.gov @slotkin.senate.gov
