This is a quote from my book HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT. The sign was made by activists from Indivisible St Louis.

Truth 😆

Remember when Trump falsely claimed that Biden wasn’t doing enough to help North Carolina recover from Hurricane Helene? Now his FEMA is holding up or denying states' disaster mitigation requests, which fund projects that help communities recover faster after natural disasters. Hello?

A friend who works at Harbor-UCLA just told me that ICE was on the premises. Harbor-UCLA is a safety-net hospital & a level 1 trauma hospital. People are going to die because of these actions. This makes me so angry.

Stoke fear. Exploit desperation. Suspend the rule of law. Fan brutality. Every time the stronger brutalize the weak, it’s fundamentally the same playbook. Our duty is to stand up to brutality. Our moral obligation is to protect the vulnerable and hold the powerful accountable.

You know what’s actually newsworthy and deserves a weekly editorial takedown? The unprecedented nature of Elon Musk owning a major communications platform while paying people to vote for Trump and then working in an unofficial official capacity in the White House.

May the anti-ICE movement continue to spread nationwide! This is the Los Angeles spirit your news broadcast isn’t showing…

AOC: If Senator Fetterman or anybody else is concerned with law and order, we should be looking at one of the most law breaking agencies and administrations that we've seen in the United States.

Newsom: "Democracy is under assault before our eyes. This moment we have feared has arrived. He's taking a wrecking ball to our Founding Father's historic project."

🌻 Greta Thunberg being released... the internetWorld is gunna explode on this one c'mon lets make this interview statement Famous!!

We feed you. They hunt us.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

"It's better — believe us — to name what’s happening than to look on, speechless, as your country goes to ruin." Thank you @storyevtime.bsky.social and Maria Kuznetsova for this www.nytimes.com/2025/06/09/o...

Maddow: I also feel like there’s not very much about that that I don’t understand. Like, it’s the same everywhere. This is blond Berlusconi, you know what I mean? This is inarticulate Viktor Orbán, right? These guys are all the same. The authoritarian playbook is the same everywhere

If the time comes, be like South Korea…

New in PN: ABC is too cowed to state the obvious about Stephen Miller "Miller and Trump are hateful bigots. Independent journalists can still say that. Journalists at ABC can’t, because the president gets a veto over their coverage. That’s not democracy and it’s not a free press. It’s fascism."

On roads: Sam Graves has been my Congressman for over 22 years. Sam is also one of Chairs the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee -- he voted against the 2021 Infrastructure Act. Missouri has some of the worst roads in the country, especially where I live, in his district.

Authoritarians love corruption and fear accountability. The arrest of long-time human rights defender Ruth López is another chilling attack on democracy by Bukele’s regime. Free Ruth NOW.

🔥 “You’re on the wrong side of history. You should be standing here with us… you took an oath to the constitution, not the fascists in the White House— he’s laughing at you… You’re tough behind your masks & fatigues, but how do you feel on the inside?” 🇺🇸

LAPD fired rubber bullets at Australian journalist @laurentomasi.bsky.social

There's only one way to fix the political disease in the USA. KILL "Citizens United" ruling with legislation outlawing ALL private political donations in the USA. END all paid political lobbying. Limited PUBLIC funding ONLY of all elected offices. Brief election campaigns. STRICT term limits.

He shouldn’t have taken the post down. He’s a reporter. And he was reporting facts.

Hey world community…. Please stay away from the United States until military coup removes this toxic cancer and his GOP cesspool traitors. 🙏🏼☮️ 🌍

My dad, who has lived under a dictatorship, knows one when he sees one. His first text this morning is that we are now officially in a dictatorship. It is all pretty grim.

This feels Oklahoma…IYKYK

I love Los Angeles.
