Look what’s chalked all over the sidewalks of Bloomfield, NJ.
Free speech is a power we should use while we can.
Chalk is cheap.

Chalk on sidewalk: yellow crown with a pink X thru it.

When Democrats controlled the White House, Senate and House there were no shutdowns because we acted like adults and negotiated with Republicans.

Now Republicans control everything and they're refusing to even show up for work. Because they think the chaos of a shutdown is fun.

Two years since my friend @maozinon.bsky.social lost his parents when Hamas attacked Oct 7.
Maoz, a Jewish Israeli, had moral clarity: He didn't want a single Palestinian civilian to die in his parents' name.
Now he fights for peace & justice alongside Palestinian @azizabusarah.bsky.social.

Gifting this one: interesting, important read on how the USA shook off authoritarianism of 1920s. Yes cataclysm is part of it.
But bolstering the WEB Duboises & Sidney Hillmans of today?
Pushing Grand Experiments for democracy?
BRING IT ON.

Why on earth would Trump not immediately bat down the notion of pardoning convicted child sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell?
Only one reason I can think of: she has something on him.
And we all know what it is.

"Who Goes Nazi?" by Dorothy Thompson, Harper's, August 1941. Give it a read, play the game, see if you recognize anyone you know today. Sadly, it's going to matter. Brilliant, uncanny, timeless. Oh, and btw, RESIST like your life depends on it, bc it might. harpers.org/archive/1941...
