I'm so proud of everyone from my old neighborhood of Rogers Park in Chicago. I see what you have been and are doing. I am so proud of how organized the community is and how much more so everyone is becoming. It is inspiring. Just one example... And this is something EVERYONE can do. Everyone.

Some weirdo on Twitter has been absolutely melting down for like 36 straight hours because I posted:

When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.

The Republican shutdown isn’t an accident. It’s the result of Project 2025 extremists who think chaos is a strategy.

The most frustrating part of this is that a federal judge literally made a finding of fact of the evidence presented by the administration, a judge appointed by Trump, and that judge called the narrative untethered to facts, and the narrator, unreliable.

Stand strong and stay safe, Portland. 💙🐸

The end of federal enforcement of special ed laws. Some states - including MN - will likely be ok. But a lot of disabled kids in a lot of states are going to lose the education that federal law and decades of jurisprudence say they are owed.

I mean duh, there is nothing an opposition party can do when the entire form of government has collapsed. Trump isn't special, he's just the only Republican that got to govern with a Congress and SCOTUS that don't believe in rule of law, checks and balances, or the constitution.

RIP Diane Keaton
My favourite picture of her where everyone else is giving it their best Blue Steel & she looks like she’s just wandered in off the street looking super cool.
She was allowed to wear her own clothes & her wonderful personality shines out.
What a unique talent & human being.

We will need Nuremberg-like trials

I know Trump and his minions all have sneering contempt for kids with special needs, but trust me when I say that their parents will absolutely fucking destroy anyone who messes with the special education supports to which they are entitled by law.

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

It's crazy that history books all imply if not outwardly state that we failed the reconstruction era by aborting it too soon and not finishing the job, and then we continue to this day to fail to follow up on the job of ridding society of those same actors.

One reason Dems should be sharing this and talking about it nonstop is because the key to dominating the public mind is media that evokes emotion. It’s how George Floyd started nationwide protests overnight. And it’s impossible to see this without feeling blind rage. Healthcare policy could never.

“We’ve arrested American citizens for being too close.”

This is how it's done. Democrats cannot be spineless, and throwing trans people, immigrants, or anyone else under the proverbial bus means you will lose, and you will lose dishonorably.

If you cannot fight with passion for all, get the fuck out of politics and let people like Mamdani lead the way.

every single dem should be taking notes. this is how you message around trans issues

(of note: i believe he is the only cis candidate for office to have trans people consult on his lgtbq+ policy platform)

Every one of these ICE officers needs to be identified, prosecuted, and punished to the fullest extent of the law.

Those found guilty should hang. Publicly.

If there is one thing we should have learned after the 1/6 attacks it is that allowing these assholes to escape consequences is intolerable.

look i'm just gonna say: everyone involved in this shit needs to go to jail

aaand we are officially in the hide-your-neighbors stage

We are in the second week of the Republican shutdown.

Where are House Republicans? On vacation.

Went looking around the Capitol to see if any Republicans had the common sense to come back. Featuring @mcbride.house.gov.

Is it just me, or does it seem the press is actually and completely terrified to report about Donald Trump's physical and mental health the way it would have if anyone else were president?

The next administration needs guillotines running 24/7

Nine days.

It was nine days later that the coordinated efforts ceased, as these violent assholes moved on from Charlie Kirk to their next faux outrage

I wonder how many ICE dudes read Anne Frank’s diary in high school and thought, “I’d have gotten her sooner.”
