Donald Trump is breaching the Constitution and breaking the law.

A show of force so he can militarize our cities because of the 2026 elections.

We need to stand up together and speak up.

Just to be on the record, I am now, and always have been, anti-fascist.

Aren’t you?

Far-right grifters are determining the “reality”’of the most powerful man in the world. What could go wrong? 🤷‍♂️

OK. It's going to be coming out soon because of the relentless investigations of Pam Bondi and Kash Patel, so I might as well admit it before the news breaks:

I am the General Counsel of Antifa.

The elimination of USAID is a moral atrocity and all involved made a choice to enable, and then lie about, ending the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in the world.

As you know, reality has a well-known liberal bias.

Does anyone have a structural explanation that helps me understand why Apple Music mixes always suck?

The federal government does and should have the authority to deploy troops into our cities—even without local consent—*when the circumstances actually warrant it.*

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com, me on why the real issue in Portland, Chicago, and elsewhere is the missing / contrived factual predicate:

The kicker is, unlike previous shutdowns, the longer this one goes on, the less people know/remember it’s happening.

Maybe @adambonica.bsky.social or @donmoyn.bsky.social has something?? Looking for quantified or data viz comparing Trump II cabinet officials qualifications versus previous presidencies.

Hivemind... I'm looking for a quantified or data visualization comparison of the qualifications of Trump's cabinet appointees versus previous presidents. Has anyone seen something like this?

all of these videos are horrifying. what feels so singularly striking and scary to me in all of them is the individual seething contempt and rage of these agents

Okay. Then stay home and wait for the rapture, I guess.

What happens when presidential power outpaces institutions? At George Mason’s Constitution Day Forum, Schar School’s @jenvictor.bsky.social joined experts to unpack executive power, partisanship, and democracy’s resilience.

Logan Square neighborhood, Chicago. Man wearing a balaclava in a white, unmarked vehicle, pulls the pin on a tear gas canister and tosses it in the road.

It could not be clearer how low the bar has become for assessing this administration.

Don’t believe anyone who tells you that intelligence shows anything “without a doubt,” but even if the intelligence was water-tight, this strike was still murder. No law permits the deliberate, premeditated killing of civilians.

so the US government just forced a tech company to delete an app it doesn’t like, which is totally normal stuff

Because he'll RIF (e.g. fire) people from people-serving agencies and not at security and law enforcement agencies. It doesn't matter what's technically legal or not, as has been established, but the shutdown enables these goals.

💯

...congressional Republicans presumably might like to govern/fund the government again, and it's not at all clear Trump wants that.

How long do you suppose it will take Speaker Johnson and Leader Thune to figure that out?

Prof. Bonica's evidence shows that Trump is correct--the shutdown does give him the opportunities to inflict harm on "liberal-leaning" agencies (e.g., EPA, education, labor, etc.).

It seems likely that President Trump's interests in the shutdown do not align with congressional Republicans bc...

Shot/chaser

@adambonica.bsky.social, yesterday, "shutdowns favor GOP-leaning agencies and harm liberal ones." substack.com/home/post/p-...

Trump, today, "The shutdown gives me the opportunity to inflict devastating harm on my political adversaries' government-aligned interests [paraphrased]."
