“In a devastating blow to the Jewish community, Nazi Germany revokes the passports of all Jewish citizens, effectively stripping them of their citizenship and freedom to travel. This..is a calculated attempt to isolate & persecute Jews, making it impossible for them to escape..”

Absolutely crucial point here by Greg Sargent. When we don’t call propaganda what it is, we co-produce it, and hasten disaster.

MAGA Implodes over Kristi Noem’s “Stare Down” with Man in Chicken Suit

A good New York Times piece on Portland nevertheless demonstrates how the conventions of objective reporting fail to accurately capture the bad faith driving pro-Trump propaganda.

The mainstream media loves making it seam like dysfunction in Washington is coming from both parties.

Hello?

Much of the GOP no longer accepts the rule of law, or the norms of democracy, or the legitimacy of the opposing party.

Enough of the false equivalence.

Nelson Flores @nelsonlflores.bsky.social · 3d

In a time where Republicans have made attacking trans people central to their political platform and many Democrats have agreed to throw them under the bus for political expediency, it is inspiring to see a politician not only proudly fighting to protect trans people but also honoring trans leaders.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Mike Johnson is so desperate to shield Republicans from questions about huge healthcare cuts and health insurance costs hikes that he keeps canceling House business so the GOP can hide.

Let’s keep the pressure on Republicans to stop hiding and end the Trump Shutdown: indivisible.org/campaign/sto...

Everyone can set aside partisanship, psychologizing, pathologizing, whatever, and—I would hope—still see that it’s incredibly dangerous for a political leader to be this disconnected from the real conditions in the country.

Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

Made this for October 18. I’m sick of these a-holes.

A poster for No Kings March on October 18. It features a yellow background with a black cat head. At the top of the page it says “no kings” in puffy black hand-written type. Between the cat’s ear is a small black crown with an X on it. There are black stars flowers and shapes around the head. The cat has stripes in lots of different colors. Its fangs are out. Below the head it says October 18th and below that it says nokings.org, all in puffy black hand-written type. Next to that type it says “power is ours. Time to use it” also in puffy black hand-written type. Art is ©️Martha Rich

Remember when Lester Holt got Trump to admit that he fired Comey because of his role in the Russia investigation? We all thought/hoped that this was "it." That Congress would step up and do the right thing.

Oh, how far we've fallen. Trump orders Comey's criminal prosecution and we all just shrug.

This resonates so hard! I’ve long said the most joyful, peaceful moments of my life are when I’m alone in a silent library at a large smooth table with expansive, un-interrupted hours ahead of me to read/think/write towards an intellectual project of my choosing
