A Democrat shares a video by one of America’s most notorious antisemites. He misses the very obvious antisemitic trope in the video. He then defends the share after people point this out to him.

Incredible stuff.

papers like the New York Times actively help right wing propagandists by introducing false claims as something that's open to debate and interpretation, instead of clearly framing them up front as lies pushed by unreliable operators

Have a piece today in TEEN VOGUE from my new book POLICE AGAINST THE MOVEMENT detailing how the NYPD, LAPD, cops in Chicago and Memphis surveilled the civil rights movement—and then destroyed millions of surveillance files in the ‘70s, including ones that may have shed like on MLK’s assassination.

"For some, the Trump administration's Chicago assault was a shock."

"But for Black Americans, none of it felt extraordinary. It felt remembered."

There has been a lot of ICE activity in the Rogers Park neighborhood of Chicago today. There has also been a lot of ICE watch and rapid response activity. We love our community, and we are showing up for each other.

At one point, he says, he was forced to his knees for a photo op with the Israeli flag, as Ben Gvir yelled in his face, calling him a terrorist.

Says US "hung up" on families of Americans, veterans seeking help.

Democrats knew it too. they were warned over & over for more than a decade that police have become a dangerously unrestrained RW paramilitary and begged, demanded, protested to commit to reform. they told activists to fuck off and just kept giving police more money without more accountability

Trump and his crime family know police in the U.S. are on their side. Put police together with Trump's ICE army and whatever National Guard troops he can force into action and his regime can continue ignoring court orders, kidnapping and killing innocents, and cementing their chokehold over America.

As fucking atrocious as western coverage of the genocide in Gaza has been, the accompanying ecocide in both Gaza and the West Bank has gone almost totally unacknowledged. Palestinians have cultivated these trees for generations. The oldest tree in Palestine could be up to 5,000 years old.

the thing about the big tent is we can debate its merits and successes as an electoral strategy, but it has been an abject failure as a governance strategy, and frankly what you do with power is more important than how often you win it. we are living through precisely why that’s so

One of the things I took away from the 60s and Richard Nixon, first mentioned by Hunter Thompson, but I believe to be true, is the fact that we believed, at time, that all our protesting, marching and sign waving was futile and pointless when in fact, it drove Richard Nixon to alcohol fueled madness

Everyone is trying to have a normal Saturday night and the president's top advisor is on X announcing that civil war is necessary
@StephenM on X: Legal insurrection. The President is the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces, not an Oregon judge. Portland and Oregon law enforcement, at the direction of local leaders, have refused to aid ICE officers facing relentless terrorist assault and threats to life. (There are more local law enforcement officers in Oregon than there are guns and badges in the FBI nationwide). This is an organized terrorist attack on the federal government and its officers, and the deployment of troops is an absolute necessity to defend our personnel, our laws, our government, public order and the Republic itself.
