What a betrayal @mikiesherrill.bsky.social

rueing the day I will have to explain to my daughter that, once upon a time before mobile phones, you simply had to agree to meet someone somewhere and then actually be in the place you agreed at the time you said you'd be there, and people actually made this work

NJ lawmakers introduce the FUCK ICE Act. The bill "permits civil action for violations of US Constitution related to immigration enforcement."

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

“Get it all on record now — get the films — get the witnesses — because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened.” Dwight D. Eisenhower, after visiting liberated concentration camps in April 1945

In the wake of another fatal shooting in Minneapolis. AG Pam Bondi sends Gov. Walz a letter today making several asks including: "Allow DOJ Civil Rights division access to state voter rolls"

Protesters clashed with federal agents for another night outside the Whipple Federal Building, which holds ICE detainees. Agents fired less-lethal munitions and deployed chemical irritants at the crowd. 📷️: Jeff Wheeler

For people elsewhere who have asked how to support Minnesota while we’re overrun with nazi thugs, here’s an excellent list of places that could use financial help. Lots of choices. Thank you so much! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

A favorite sign from today's NYC protest march

Zohran Mamdani's promises of free busses might sound great, but I live in Albuquerque NM where city busses have been free for five years and I'm here to tell you the truth. This is what every bus in my city looks like now. Think carefully about your choice this November.

What do these corporate donors expect in return for their money? It looks like bribery for special favors from the Trump administration.

This person is one hundred percent correct and it’s scary af. We will never “media literacy” our way out of this as a society. We are about to reap the whirlwind when it comes to misinformation, disinformation, and informational warfare.

I know everyone is consumed with other news, but this is a big fucking deal: The Trump administration says that IUDs and the Pill are actually abortions. Here's what USAID told the NYT about the $10m in birth control they plan to destroy. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/11/h...

Unbelievably bad. “The CDC you knew is over. Unless someone takes radical action, there is nothing there that can be salvaged.” www.advocate.com/politics/dem...

NJ Transit's official data makes it difficult to tell just how bad it is. So @suryamattu.com and I spent three months collecting the raw location data for more than 190,000 trains on NJT, Metro-North, and LIRR. Then @mariepastora.bsky.social made the graphics to show you. The answer: Very bad.

This video from Fairmount Bagels in Montreal from their Instagram is the most impressive thing I've ever seen

Fascism is here. We are not “getting closer” or “in danger of.” This matters because it frames our discussion: We aren’t trying to prevent it, we’re trying to defeat it. It’s not taking over our institutions, it’s taken them over. Otherwise, we’re always behind, fighting a past we’ve already lost.

There is just no precedent in recent world history of an advanced industrialized country sabotaging its own scientific establishment, and destroying the base of scientific knowledge necessary for basic policymaking. An avowedly, actively anti-knowledge regime.

just a reminder again that we were told over and over that a 13 year old downloading a Limp Bizkit mp3 was an existential threat to society

To elaborate a bit on why inviting Putin to Alaska for talks on ending the war without Zelensky (or European allies) represents, among many other things, the death of US diplomacy 🧵1/

Alan Cumming on bathroom bills: "Why on earth would a rapist go through the bother of pretending to be trans in a country that treats rapists better than trans people."

Further context: If you’ve never dealt with FEMA after a disaster I can tell you they answer within 30 seconds. No hold times. Real live wonderful people who help while you cry and can’t even figure out what questions to ask. They walk you through it all. Every call. NOEM STOLE THAT $ FOR ICE

In less than a week, there were at least four 1-in-1,000-year rainfall events across the U.S. — intense deluges that are thought to have roughly a 0.1% chance of happening in any given year. nbcnews.to/44rYXAy Illinois credit: mslinnie.jefferson

They're building concentration camps with money they stole from medicare.

In its current form, the budget bill takes Medicaid and other healthcare away from 10,000,000+ people, gives billions in unnecessary resources to ICE, and kills wind and solar energy. Call your Senator/Representative to weigh in. 202-224-3122.

There are only three political positions in America today 1) I like the fascism 2) I'll acquiesce to the fascism (reasons for this one vary: cowardice, access, denial, misguidedly thinking that acquiescence is savvy, etc) 3) I oppose the fascism The rest is details

It’s a good night to subscribe to the “MAGA” block list from @skywatch.blue

In a new letter to Chuck Schumer and Ken Martin, Sens. Sanders, Warren, Smith, Murphy, Merkley, Welch, Markey and Van Hollen call on Dem leaders to reject billionaire donors by banning super PAC and dark money from Democratic primaries. "[Voters] want change. We can make change.” wapo.st/405Hgny

These 18 Democrats just voted for the Senate's corrupt crypto industry bill that greenlights Trump's corruption: Alsobrooks Booker Cortez Masto Fetterman Gallego Gillibrand Hassan Heinrich Hickenlooper Kim Lujan Ossoff Padilla Rosen Schiff Slotkin Warner Warnock

This is Waylon. He'd been in a shelter for 95 days when a woman came in with her son Cai. Cai asked so many great questions about how to keep him safe and healthy. When he returned to officially adopt Waylon, he arrived in a very dapper suit, saying it was a "special occasion." 14/10 for everybody

50501 just posted on IG that the new number is 12.1 million!

Video from about an hour ago as less than lethal rounds are being used against protesters in Southern California

Videos from Elizabeth Warren about 4 disastrous bombs in the big beautiful bill (links below) in comments…

This is yet another good example of why men are too emotional to be in leadership.

The best summary of Musk I’ve heard yet

RFK Jr. is absolutely poisonous. He has now caused Dr. Lakshmi Panagiotakopoulos, the person in charge of COVID19 vaccinations at the CDC, to resign. She did so because RFK Jr. demanded that the experts in charge of vaccine guidance listen to him and not to the scientific evidence.

“With all of these deportations going on, I can’t help but feel like he’s breaking his campaign promise,” said Jillian Beamer, a three-time Trump voter theonion.com/maga-vo...

In April, we took to the streets for the biggest day of civic protest in years. No Kings Day on June 14 is going to be even bigger, with more events in more places to reject Trump’s authoritarianism. Please join us at your local No Kings Day event in two weeks: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

“.. these cuts have already resulted in about 300,000 deaths, most of them of children, and will most likely lead to significantly more by the end of the year. That is what Musk’s foray into politics accomplished.” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...
