THE REFORMATORY and RING SHOUT are masterpieces. I haven't read BLOOD SLAVES or THE GHOSTS OF GWENDOLOYN MONTGOMERY yet, but obviously they're now going on the list.

There's a reason ICE agents wear masks in the street. From Kristi Noem's war-crime propaganda to the airport officers harassing innocent tourists, the MAGA deportation regime is not just immoral but increasingly criminal Someday, there must be justice.

Oh great. The Masters Golf is on. “And here’s Carnegie Vestibule Jr teeing up at the 6th hole. This year he’s sponsored by Abu Dhabi Land Mines. Interesting fact about Carnegie, Tom…He once got lost in his own sauna” “Very typical of him, Chad…class act. Always time for the fans”

30,000 people showed up in Seattle on Saturday. That's almost 5% of the whole damn city. Keep pushing, folks. We've already seen twice the engagement in protests and rallies this year as we did in 2017. Thank you @briana9.bsky.social for your organizing!

To the world: We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom. —With love, Your American allies.

West Coast numbers are coming in, and estimates have now surpassed 5 million. People are still pouring into the streets—nearly 2% of the American population is rising up. America, we are so proud of you. You did it.

If we brought back the real filibuster and senators actually had to stand on the floor of the Senate and talk, what are the odds we'd have more senators in their 50's and fewer senators in their 70's?

The perception that there has been less activism in 2025 is simply wrong....The Harvard Crowd Counting Consortium noted that...In fact, “since 22 January, we’ve seen more than twice as many street protests than took place during the same period eight years ago.”

Wisconsin fought and clawed to get out from under the thumb of the Kochs and Uihleins who had bought and paid for gerrymandered Republican dominance for years. And then another rich motherfucker showed up and the whole state said not today.
