Democracy is serious business.
Proud to stand with probably 10,000 Californians protesting this government in Santa Rosa.
The square was completely filled. We were elbow to elbow almost two blocks away.

I can’t stop thinking about the fact that Jason Stanley and Timothy Snyder, the nation’s foremost academics and authors on fascism and tyranny, have essentially fled the country.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

This is blatantly illegal and dangerous beyond belief.
Our national security is in the hands of complete amateurs.
What other highly sensitive national security conversations are happening over group chat? Any other random people accidentally added to those, too?

American war planning usually takes place in highly secure facilities. But the Trump administration planned its strikes on the Houthis using a group chat—and accidentally included The Atlantic’s editor in chief, Jeffrey Goldberg. theatln.tc/IuULQFiY
The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

What’s the difference between a gov controlling an algorithm, silently eliminating reach for things it doesn’t like, vs the same gov using its power, to demand that the platform remove the things it doesn’t like.?

Bryan MacCormack, the executive director of a New York-based immigrant rights group, was pulled over by CBP with two undocumented passengers in the vehicle. He knew his rights, refused to acknowledge their "warrant", and despite CBP threatening him, the agents eventually were forced to let him go.

Why is it that elites are held to a standard of perfection at all times, and populists are held to no standard at all?

We fight alongside people who are most impacted by harm because they are *people.* even if the harm they experience doesn’t spread or impact anyone else.
Even if the harmdoers are never coming for me.
A more free world is one in which we all show up because people are at risk. Any people.

It's not religion behind the resurgent moral panic about LBGTQ people in the USA. You don't get a 15% shift beliefs in a year due to growing religious sentiment. It's cynical opportunists trying to ride to power on populist sentiment by delegating and demonizing an outgroup.
Fuck every one of them.
