If you think it can’t happen here, remember that it already did. In 1942 soldiers came with rifles to our home and ordered us out. They put us in internment camps. Most of us were citizens.

Curtis Yarvin, now into public weeping and Ozempic flexing, jumps the shark in this New Yorker profile. Brutal. A pathetic figure. But Andreessen, Thiel & JD Vance are so thirsty for an openly anti-democracy voice, they have made a clown into a “philosopher.” www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Save and share. Maybe email or tag Byron Donalds and Kash Patel.

#Easter is an important day for many and sharing a meal is a traditional part of this celebration. People like Betty who harvests carrots in CA’s Central Coast, make these sacred meals possible. #WeFeedYou

The craziest part of this story is the CDC spokesperson saying that the report "does not say anything that the public doesn’t already know.” Year over year declining vaccination rates say otherwise. www.propublica.org/article/meas...

🚨 Call These Senators 🚨 #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #DemsUnited

Holy shit. The United States was not invited to the NATO summit on Ukraine in Paris on March 11. There’s no other meaning: The United States was just benched for colluding with the enemy.

Right on! And the great Williams & Connolly has stepped up to defend Perkins Coie from the same savage and lawless attack on law and justice. I call on all my fellow lawyers to show such principled courage. If you’re too chicken, then stop calling yourself a lawyer. open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

It's called Conservatism of convenience.

For those supporting this obscene violation of due process and expansion of governmental overreach to detain and deport legal residents without due process, please research authoritarian regimes. Today they'll use it against a group you don't like, but it will be turned on you tomorrow.

🚨JUST IN: Target boycot is working, their store traffic fell 10% & stock fell -23% in the last 6 months…👇 *Target is also facing 40-day boycott starting today, over company’s shift away from DEI policies. Let’s. Do. This. ✨ #BankruptTarget

1/ Peter Thiel-who backs the "network state" movement & the construction of charter cities—wrote a preface for "The Sovereign Individual," a book that states in part as follows:

For those who doubt that the US would ever deport US citizens.

Understand People, PLEASE The TRANS COMMUNITY is being attacked from not only our CRUEL GOVERNMENT But The floodgates of ignorance and hate !! Walk in Their Shoes We MUST SUPPORT OUR TRANS SISTERS AND BROTHERS AND YOUTH The SPEED and VICIOUSNESS of HATE is everywhere ⬇️⬇️

Become a Republican’s worst nightmare. Choose to be an informed citizen.

Immigrants aren't stealing your jobs, Musk is firing you.

QUOTE OF THE DAY…

Some of you have inquired over on my Substack where you can find a list of all (organized in useful, searchable ways) the litigation over the Administration’s executive orders and other actions, since January 20,2025. A great tracker is at Just Security.

Every dollar the US Government spends is a matter of public record and is available online. Musk isn't finding any secrets; he's exploiting his own ignorance and that of MAGAs.

Wonderful. Good goal.

Gratifying to see @axios.com use the data from the @justsecurity.org Litigation Tracker (and with credit given, etc.). The very kind of public education outcome we had in mind. Valuable infographic here.⤵️ Thanks to @erindoherty.bsky.social @thesambaker.bsky.social www.axios.com/2025/02/12/t...

Deaths predicted amid the chaos of Elon Musk’s shutdown of USAid The Guardian February 4, 2025 By Mark Townsend, Karen McVeigh, Charles Pensulo, Caroline Kimeu, Luke Taylor stillcoviding.ca/en/news/deat... #health #USAID #USPoli #Trump #Musk

This Fiona Apple narrated explainer PSA on how to film (and release footage from, not livestream) ICE arrests is exactly what we need from people with production skills right now and is worth about 3 million celebrity “imagine” covers in terms of survival utility

Protests are all they are waiting for. At the first sign of an organized protest, Trump/Musk will call it an “insurrection” and bring the military into their fascist takeover.

As a former Hill staffer, some advice: you need a good ASK. MoCs want constituents to feel heard but don't want to do anything new. Bad asks are vague, not time-bound, not verifiable. "Support human rights!" "Oppose Trump!" The Member will say they agree with you and do nothing. Here's a good ask:

Those huddled masses that you have heard about your whole life? They are the brave ones, the game changers, the nation builders. Their yearning to breathe free provides oxygen for everyone else. Remember that, as we head into next week.

For workers, the 'American Dream' isn't just dying: it's dead and buried. Actor & comedian David Cross explains how we got here. #UnionsForAll

Fire assistance for those displaced 🚨

Anyone know this fuckstick? Where he is located? I need to report him for child abuse and I’m thinking about filing a lawsuit for domestic terrorism. It’s really bad.
