The people in this story give me hope. Overwhelmed with grief and despair by the events of the last few days? Watch this, especially if you are a musician. 👇🏼

Next Saturday! First the new Carver Inn Historical Marker on Preston Avenue will be unveiled, and then Lorenzo Dickerson will screen his new film, “Carver Inn, Charlottesville VA,” at JMRL. jmrl.org/calendar?dat...

If we are in a postconstituional environment where green card holders can be deported for mere speech, then yes, Professor Cobb is correct.

This is such a wise thread and I really needed to be reminded of this today. Thank you, Emily.

“‘Activities aligned to… a designated terrorist organization’ is a construction previously unheard of in the generation-long history of tortured official circumlocutions designed to obscure lawlessness in the guise of counterterrorism…. Thinking about this for 10 seconds unravels it…”

They’ve lost Ann Coulter on this

I am extremely concerned about the arrest and detention of Mahmoud Khalil, an advocate and legal permanent resident of Palestinian descent. My office is monitoring the situation, and we are in contact with his attorney.

We demand the immediate release of Mahmoud Khalil. Federal immigration authorities essentially disappearing Khalil, a lawful permanent resident, is a chilling attack on due process and the First Amendment. Our freedom of speech is not up for debate.

“The authorities declined to tell Khalil’s wife, who is eight months pregnant, why he was being detained, Greer said. Khalil has since been transferred to an immigration detention facility in Elizabeth, New Jersey.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

“Her panic was rising. Her husband worked for a nonprofit feeding kids in low-income homes. His salary relied on federal grants — now a red flag for job security. They have two small children.” wapo.st/43qZHpd

😳😵‍💫😂🤣😢😭🤯

Please take one half of one hour of your time to hear what Rep. Al Green said to the House today after being censured. It was inspired and inspiring, the greatest speech I’ve heard in quite some time. www.c-span.org/video/?c5156...

You want to talk about tradition? U.S. Representative Al Green ( @algreen.house.gov ) had the courage to stand up and make some good trouble, in the best tradition. Voting to censure him was just plain stupid.

The President of the United States is a coward who is Putin's puppet. The Vice President is a coward who is Trump's puppet. What we just witnessed was a meeting in the Oval Office between two puppets and a hero. This administration is going to go down as an embarrassment to American history.

How can anyone watch this and see anything other than two bullies ganging up on a hero? www.c-span.org/clip/white-h...

From a guy who used to work there: Rachel is a remarkable person and the best TV news talent there is. If she says something is fucked up, it is. Getting rid of Joy, who dared to see through this fascism bullshit years ago and had the gall of occasionally being funny about it, is dumb.

Quite a feat for the guy who "has no actual or formal authority to make government decisions himself."

Fucking shameful United States. Shameful. You too Israel. Shameful.👇

"The increase to Musk's wealth since Trump was elected president three months ago is greater than all of the American aid given to Ukraine over the last three years."-- @timothysnyder.bsky.social

This is a terrible move @msnbc.com. Terrible. The @joy.msnbc.com was a critical part of the evening line-up and @joyannreid.bsky.social brings trenchant political analysis that no one else in the evening line-up has brought. I urge you to reconsider this. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/23/b...

Joy-Ann Reid ( @joyannreid.bsky.social ) has the rare ability to know and tell the straight and scary truth without making you want to crawl under a rock. A brilliant woman who embodies and instills courage and fortitude. @joyannreid.bsky.social @msnbc.com www.youtube.com/watch?v=5c-p...
