In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it?
If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say?
Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

This is really hard to watch— meaning it is more important than ever to do so.
Be prepared & know what you would do if you see this in your community.
Would you film it?
Would you gather other citizen support?
Would you call 911?
Would you move away?
How would it change if you were alone or not?

I’m choked up seeing this—it’s shameful.
Iranian refugees got snatched by “immigration agents” dressed like bounty hunters in West LA’s Sawtelle neighborhood.
We’re really about to send them back to a country we just bombed? A regime known for jailing, torturing, and killing its own people?

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

Over the years, I saw individuals eventually reach some point of social change they just couldn’t accept—technology like the internet, social progress like gay marriage. I always wondered what the indigestible trend would be for me, the point where society and I would part.

The alternative is that there is no hardship white conservatives will not endure in order to see women & children owned as property by white men, and all the many targets of their bigotry murdered by the millions, and that they'll keep voting regardless.

We're in a race between how fast the public will feel the effects of the GOP destruction of the social safety net & modern regulatory state that has come into existence since the 1930s & made life more livable for non-rich people...and how fast the GOP can secure an election-proof monopoly on power.

🚨 Trump’s DOGE purge just made Veterans’ data a massive target.
They fired key cybersecurity staff protecting VA.gov —leaving millions of Veterans’ medical & personal records exposed.
This isn’t efficiency. It’s reckless and dangerous.

Be clear. $8 billion was an error. They misread $8 million! And it’s not saving. It’s cutting services, necessary research, assistance to millions here and overseas, and enforcement of laws that protect consumers and workers.
DOGE says it has saved $55 billion in federal spending so far, but its website only accounts for $16.6 billion of that

Here it is in a nutshell:
1. Trump is an authoritarian.
2. With the GOP controlling Congress, courts are key to protecting democracy.
3. So far, courts are doing a good job on #2.
4. GOP will next attack election rules like they did in 2021.
Don't let the cynics convince you not to fight. FIGHT!

In the weeks since Trump took office, Elon Musk has posted on X at the pace of an iPad-addicted child.
A sample: In two hours on Friday, Musk tweeted more than 40 times—about once every three minutes.
