If you allow yourselves to be used as a prop you don't get to go coy when called upon. You knew what he was and you could've said no. You didn't. So this is who you are, Juventus. We see you.

CLARIFICATION : The Trevor Project's hotline will still be live. But basically this means LGBTQ people can no longer be connected to it through the US national 988 suicide prevention hotline. They will need to be contacted DIRECTLY So spread this around They can be texted. They can be called.

Tucker Carlson is an ass and remains so but I do enjoy him asking Cruz, one of the worst ever, these questions and would not mind at all if more news orgs did the same.

They're going to call this a miracle and then ignore the incredibly high costs for care while gutting any programs that might help from Medicaid to Sovial Security. Then, blame the family for not being able to afford millions.

Good. Would love to see more groups do this. Especially groups representing any marginalized folks. Do not bend the knee to someone who hates us.

the image of a Jewish man locking himself to an immigrant, his fellow neighbor and a stranger, to keep him from being kidnapped by the American gestapo is making me weep. how could he have done differently when we know what we know?! how can any of us

This is ILLEGAL. ICE does not have the authority to arrest citizens. And they have no warrants. Obviously the current NYC mayor will do nothing since he's a Trump crony but I hope New Yorkers are hitting the streets. This is bullshit.

Trump is not facing an election now, but he is continuing to use scare tactics to skew reality.

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds. He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings. He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights. This is political intimidation.

While the US business community and most of the media work hard to ignore Elon’s murderous crimes and prop up his failing car company, many of us aren't buying it. Keep it going, fight back, and make your voices heard. Join a #TeslaTakedown protest today or create one today at Teslatakedown.com!

My latest: With one possible exception, there have never been this many coordinated protests on a single day in the U.S. before. I explore why the omnipresence of these peaceful demonstrations matters so deeply, in the face of authoritarian overreach: lakauffman.substack.com/p/when-peace...

This is good, @padilla.senate.gov. But an opportunity was missed. Every D should be saying all over the shows that Trump has lost the public on deportations of noncriminals, that he admitted deportations hurt economy and that he's diverting resources from dangerous criminals. @kenmartin.bsky.social

The article is better than this headline (which is absurd) but still, we are long past the point of speculating about ethical & legal boundaries this admin has crossed. The reporting shouldn't be about "raising" Qs, it should be investigating every wrong & exposing why there is no accountability.

I was in Portland today for ABA's Children's Institute & was honored to stand alongside so many wonderful indie booksellers at the #NoKings day rally. I missed being in my beloved Chicago but being at today's rally was truly uplifting, a reminder that we are not alone. Community over kings, always!

The Minnesota assassinations, the attempted arson at Governor Shapiro's home, and the violent arrest of Senator Padilla are all straight out of the Jim Crow terrorism playbook. Same goes with cops aiming for journalists covering the ICE protests. None of these are new tactics, just a new iteration.

It should not be lost on anyone that Minnesota Rep Melissa Hortman, who was shot to death in her home last night by an assassin, was a gun safety advocate who worked tirelessly to protect her constituents from gun violence.
