I feel like anyone who said this has never had to put pants on a toddler.

I can’t believe I have to say this again do not follow what these Democrats are saying and for the love of God, do not sit down at a rally where they are charging you with horses and shooting into the crowd because they will shoot you in the head and kill you. Do not sit down at a mass protest.

In which J.R. crushes it.

Terry Moran worked at ABC for 28 years. Now, for calling Stephen Miller “hateful,” (which he 💯 is per his own family), ABC fired him to appease an authoritarian hypocrite who ran on “free speech.” This will have a chilling effect on all journalists. Fourth Estate fails. Authoritarianism advances.

People need to see what’s happening. ICE just took a dad while his teenage son watched, crying and powerless. Trump is ripping families apart—and some folks still say, “That’s what I voted for.” If that’s your take, that sentiment says more about you than it says about any undocumented immigrant.

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

GODDAMMIT Padilla and Schiff! Back to the phone lines again.

Childhood disease before vaccination is why we don't have a word for a parent who's buried a child. An orphan is defined by lack of parents, a widow by lack of husband, but before vaccines, almost every adult of childbearing age had buried at least one baby, if not more.

God PLEASE like I don’t trust polls but New York please I beg please for all the years I lived there under terrible mayors please do this for me vote for Zohran

I’m not sure even how to describe it but being both child of a convicted perso. Whose deported and an Ivy League graduate People do really well with easy power dynamics that feed the savior complex The ones that involve making someone a PEER are much harder Even if it’s what is NECESSARY

ICE is deploying tactitical units to Chicago Seattle Philadelphia New York Northern Virginia There are folks on the ground doing the work to keep folks safe, mobilizing & coordinating w/ community orgs. Not everything is posted online, for safety. Chicago— We’re going to keep each other safe.

Locus is amazing.

i still can't fucking believe project 2025 was literally out in the open and people still ignored it.

Wait... what?! I actually can't really process how stupid this is. "Taking political disagreements into the streets" has been an absolutely basic bog standard element of protest at least tolerated by non-authoritarian governments for well over a century.

Be prepared folks. Talk with your communities about check-ins, supplying folks at risk and staying strong and safe together.

from today's post, about how the clownishly incompetent Mad King Donny can't even do a simple fascism without fucking it all to hell. please read the whole thing, thanks! link is here: bit.ly/43YKH0E (and as always, there's a longer excerpt in the alt text)

Just in time for Taco Tuesday! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😜

Hypocrisy. Leave it to Leavitt.

OHOHOHO there was an DELIVERY OF AN ITEM and it turned out to be: an ARC of my next book, THE FIRST THOUSAND TREES! The last book in the ANNUAL MIGRATION OF CLOUDS trilogy! cc @ecwpress.bsky.social

Lovely thread busting the concept of "illegal migrants are a burden" by using luxury brands, their founders and workers, and --oh yeah--history.

🌻 Greta Thunberg being released... the internetWorld is gunna explode on this one c'mon lets make this interview statement Famous!!

The thing about ABC firing Terry Moran for expressing a political opinion is He called Stephen Miller a man fueled by hatred That’s not a fucken opinion that’s like saying water is wet Its a fact Terry Moran was fired for accurately describing reality

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

Same BS just different eras

The folks hollering about “family values” are out here tearing families apart with unlawful ICE raids, militarized police, & the weaponization of government. All while ripping away food & healthcare from working-class families. Are the family values in the room with us?

RFK jr is about to install anti-vaxxers to this panel. We are so fucked.

Our Founding Fathers would have had a word for calling up a battalion of Marines for regular domestic law enforcement: tyranny.

Literally everyone who knew anything about this ghoul knew he'd do this. It wasn't even a warning. It was obvious. That's why it's so infuriating to watch him jeopardize the country.

There's always been autism. It was just "that boy's not right." It was just "they're touched in the head." It was just "deaf and dumb." It was just "hysterical." "Over sensitive." "Melodramatic." There's always been autism. You just chained them to a radiator and called it something else.

For decades the NRA and other gun nuts told us that their guns were to protect us all from a tyrannical government. So a tyrannical government is here, they are all sitting on their asses, and the people who want gun control have taken to the streets to defy the tyrannical government instead.

If you're a Marine or other service member being mobilized to Los Angeles and you'd like to apply for conscientious objector status, call the GI Rights Hotline to get some guidance on your options: 1-877-447-4487

Oh the Hill, aged like milk. Kamala Harris, right again.
