Having grown up in the small town where Ronald Reagan went to college, it always tickles me to hear Illinois described as "solidly blue."

One of the least dangerous, most amusing characteristics of fascism is that it has no sense of irony. Hence, Pete Hegseth going on Fox News to say "Once a leaker, always a leaker, often a leaker."

Israeli settlers are taking over Palestinian land by creating "farming outposts" with the goal of ethnically cleansing Palestinians. This strategy complements the Israeli state's broader plans for annexing the West Bank. mondoweiss.net/2025/04/the-... #Palestine #Israel

The narrative that to be religious is to be against abortion rights is false. The majority of people of faith in the United States support abortion being legal.

I can’t help recalling how rude and confrontational the Oval Office meeting with the polite and cooperative Zelensky was in contrast with how meekly Trump sat silently while the President of El Salvador mocked the notion of helping Donald abide by a unanimous Supreme Court order.

The Trump admin has just detained Mohsen Mahdawi, who: –has green card –was Columbia Buddhist club president –saw his best friend shot & killed by Israeli soldier –said "we are against antisemitism because antisemitism is a form of injustice, and injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere"

Tomorrow, El Salvadoran President Bukele will visit the White House. The press needs to drive a wedge between him & Trump's lies in court that he has no power to get Kilmar Abrego García released. "Why are you refusing to cooperative with President Trump to release innocent Kilmar Abrego García?"

College presidents had better take a hard look at what's happening to @columbiauniversity.bsky.social right now and start fighting, together, in every way possible. Because they will be next.

Stop with THEIR framing. It's not "combating antisemitism." (And I say this as a Jewish atheist.) It's criminalizing free speech.

Though the Palestinian-American community is calling for accountability from US officials over the killing of Amer, given his American citizenship, there is very little evidence to suggest that the US government will hold Israel to account

People who are looking for a way to fight Trump, I have it for you in one name: Kilmar Abrego-Garcia. He's the poor guy who got pulled off the street, declared a gang member for no reason, then sent off to that hell-hole in El Salvador. Fight for him because this case will unravel everything. 🧵
