Look, I’m a messaging guy, I know the power of words and images and I’ve had viral videos to prove it. This woman is on fire 🔥 and I could not be more proud of her. If Trump wants Hunger Games, bring it on because America has their Katniss Everdeen. 🎥 TikTok - vm.tiktok.com/ZNdF9cu6s/

I’m always seeking affirmation of how I feel about Trump, just for the sake of my own sanity. This clip is like a sugar rush for me. 🎥 TikTok - vm.tiktok.com/ZNdFxM5GU/

Anecdotal, but I'm definitely noticing an uptick in advocacy for violence here. About which I'll say only this: Promoting violence on social media is the work of trolls and fools, those eager to bait others into implicating themselves in the age of surveillance or fools rushing to the gulag.

There’s a wrongly imprisoned man rotting in a brutal prison while Trump openly mocks him but don’t worry because the judge took a “stern tone” & “scolded” the administration. That’s sure to work!

There’s a particular kind of anti-solidarity faux-leftism that imagines this moment as U.S. vs a sane world. This is witless American exceptionalism. As if the authoritarian & fascist moment isn’t global.

The student paper at the college at which I teach reports a "tsunami of takedown requests" from international students terrified of being targeted for innocuous, legitimate op-eds & opinions.. Many ask in person--leave no trace in writing. Reminds me of my father's account of studying in the USSR.

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

I needed a good EL OH EL moment today 😂 (personally I have used TaxAct for at least 10 years now)

AOC: I saw on Fox, Jeanine Pirro says that they found so many babies and two year olds and four year olds receiving social security. I got a notice for you Jeanine Pirro: those babies receive social security because their parents died. That’s not a waste. That’s humanity. That’s America.

Mental Health Awareness Week is just over a month away 📅 This year, we’re bringing awareness to the fact that mental health is everything. It’s more than just a small part of our lives. It’s connected to every little thing we do, every place we go and every person around us.

This is good news. Westminster Council love to approve "small" posh flat property development in nightlife areas. Then wait for the new residents/developers to complain about noise. WC then refuse licenses. Places then go bust or landowners declare them "unviable" to justify large redevelopment.

May the fraudsters be haunted by endless karma!

Things children should be thinking about this Easter: - Easter eggs - Days out with the family - Seeing friends Things children shouldn’t have to think about: - Not having enough money for food

Why haven’t these flights been enjoined?

just sitting here, thinking about how chick schumer whipped votes to pass an enabling act for Trump less than a month ago

This is good and also he should bring them all back.

There is a GoFundMe for Kilmar Abrego Garcia's family. He has three children with special needs, and his wife now can't afford to take time off work to help their kids adjust to the disappearance of their father.

this is deeply disturbing

I tried to write about empathy and ended up writing about fascism again

now do the Iraq war david

I’m not a lawyer or anything but I feel like you can draw a pretty direct line from John Yoo being allowed to slip back into the comforts of tenure and the occasional NYT oped to what’s happening with the CECOT and doj

I'm a lawyer and this is correct. Straight line of "blatantly illegal constitutional end-runs to violate human rights" from Iran–Contra to Gitmo to CECOT paved by the only consequences the perpetrators suffering being more money, more power, and more prestige.

When my grandson's preschool teacher (in Orange County) told the children to Drop and Cover as the Julian quake happened, my grandson yelled out "And hold on!". I'm so proud

AOC: We saw Majorie Taylor Greene buy that dip. How much did you make? How much did you make off of people’s despair? How much did you make off of that panic? How much did you make off of that suffering? No more. We can’t accept it

Protester to Greene: You butch body bigot!
