I hope I live to see Stephen Miller handcuffed in a dock at The Hague

The last Trump administration felt like there was a rabid raccoon in the house. Now, it feels like there's a serial killer in the house.

Over on TikTok… You have Chinese factories exposing rip-off luxury goods that are made in China for peanuts and sold in America for small fortunes And they’re now even offering to sell direct without the mark-up Think I’ve run out of popcorn…

People who know me for 10 minutes have heard me say for DECADES now that there is no way forward that doesn't involve community-building. And some folks have been furious at me for pointing out the necessity of transformative justice. But here we are... both things are still true. THE END.

Unelected billionaire Elon Musk should not be acting as co-president of the United States and making $8 million a day from government contracts while he’s at it. My new bill would crack down on conflicts of interest for Elon Musk and all Special Government Employees.

After the attack on Shapiro’s residence, I feel like it’s important to remind people how easy it is for people to become irrevocably radicalized online. Right wing media (both “new” and legacy) is using the same tactics we see groups like Al-Qaeda use to recruit.

He doesn’t care if people suffer. He just cares about never admitting he’s wrong.

This is a time for VISIONARIES and yet the vast majority of people have ceilings on their imaginations.

When a government claims to save money by betraying its citizens, cutting health and welfare research, and deepening inequality, it is not saving — it is building a system where only the wealthy access care. This undermines the very purpose of a nation.

Pretty accurate.

Good Morning BlueSky Happy Monday is a silly oxymoron, but hey, silly is the new normal. That and bat chit crazy. Given the choice, it depends.

It's weird that the US has in 2 months established a means by which to circumvent due process and arbitrarily detain people convicted of no crime in a foreign gulag where their court have no jurisdiction, but things have been so bad for so long that it just feels like a normal day in America.

I'm truly not interested in a political project that "restores" the US. I only care about one that completely transforms it.

Pro-natalists: you need to have at least 10 kids Normal people: why, are you expecting half of them to die before puberty due to lack of modern health and sanitation? Pro-natalists: you're never gonna believe what we also advocate

Why hasn’t Trump or the AG said anything publicly to condemn the arson attack on Gov. Josh Shapiro and his family? Silence is complicity.

This is such a bizarre story.

Governor Shapiro and his family were EXTREMELY lucky. This is ghastly.

New episodes of the Did Nothing Wrong podcast are one of the only good things about Mondays! ❤️❤️❤️

BREAKING: Days before she was detained by ICE, the State Department had determined Tufts student Rumeysa Ozturk did NOT engage in antisemitic or terrorist activities. Rubio revoked her visa anyhow. Gift article: wapo.st/4j8d5Uh

In the past eight months, 3 cases of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) have been diagnosed in one Oregon county; 2 of them have died. CJD is the human form of mad cow disease. It’s caused by prions and it’s not known how they developed it. CJD is 100% fatal. There is no treatment.

If Jeff Bezos can send Katy Perry into space, he can pay a wealth tax so every American has debt-free healthcare.

To the people who think racist authoritarians should be posting more on Bluesky: What the actual fuck is wrong with you, fuck off with that mealy-mouth "both sides" bullshit, thank you for your attention, now go fuck yourselves

Normally, we’d expect the FBI to find and prosecute these terrorists, but Kash Patel is a fucking muppet (and not the adorable/hilarious kind) and the DOJ is busy hunting down people who vandalized Musk’s beloved Teslas. Every day, we stray further from the America we were promised.

They can’t get Abrego Garcia. They sent him to a prison where no one gets out, ever, and the only seeming way out is death. They are directly going against the unanimous ruling of the Supreme Court by not getting him out. What the fuck is even happening

The crowd and overflow crowd for the Bernie Sanders/AOC event tonight in Utah. Wow.

BREAKING: AOC bringing the house down in Utah. “It will never be just institutions and officials alone who uphold our democracy. It will always be the people, the masses who refused to comply with authoritarian regimes who are the last and strongest defense of our country and our freedom.”

Forget "reciprocal tariffs"; we need reciprocal disappearances.

"A call for audits, not accusations." We couldn't have said it better ourselves! Thank you Tamara Graham with the PULSE of the Great Lakes for this excellent article on our analysis and call to peacefully advocate for election integrity: buff.ly/qzCOmAE #VerifyTheVote #TruthMatters #AuditPA

Setting fire to anyone's home during a religious holiday is abhorrent. That's why what happened to Governor Shapiro is repugnant. It's also why Shapiro's support for Israel as its military and settlers firebomb Palestinians during THEIR holidays is unforgivable. Hopefully he now realizes that.

When government officials spread misinformation about autism, autistic people suffer.

You can't talk about the Tate-LaBianca murders without mentioning the Manson Family. You can't talk about 9/11 without mentioning Al Qaeda. And you can't talk about the assault on American democracy without mentioning the tech fascist cult that calls itself the Dark Enlightenment/Network State.

Our federal judiciary remains a vital check on tyrannical threats to liberty. Join the April 15 nationwide rally for justice speakupforjustice.law

Can a U.S. President be charged with treason? Article II, Section 4: The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.

I think Hank here underestimates my ability to worry about multiple things at once. I'm a worrying expert. I can worry about all this and eleventy-billion other things, too.

Unironically think that Dems should run on the New Deal. That’s the platform, that’s the slogan. Same enemies then, same enemies now.

So, how's he fighting the Trump regime? Is he calling his representatives every day to demand impeachment and removal? Is he showing up at protests? Is he boycotting businesses collaborating with Trump? He made a "mistake" that hurt all of us, so what's he doing to try to fix it?

It would be awesome if someone would apply this!

I think we've lost sight of the fact that DOGE isn't a real government agency.

Hey Marco Rubio, We are not a Christian country. We are a SECULAR country! Everyone gets to worship whatever religion they want. Or NOT worship, that's personal choice! Just because someone says something that you don't like that is religious, doesn't give you the right to ignore the 1st amendment!

They absolutely should not.

These fucking monsters... Impeach, remove, criminally charge, try, convict, and imprison this entire regime for their crimes against humanity.
