"THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman."

Does this guy do anything other than sit and babble at reporters? Hold grudges, apparently, and plot revenge for every slight. Every other POTUS, even the bad ones, kept up long days of actually, you know, working.

I am really glad that @jeremymberg.bsky.social wrote this. Everybody who cares about science, and about knowledge generation and civil society generally, should read and share with their favorite administrator.

Schiff: "You begin to wonder -- do they believe they have the authority by putting some groups on a list, even domestic groups, to use lethal force against them, with no trial, no due process, no nothing? The reality is we can't rule that out."

I just saw a comment that said "I don't support what happened to Charlie, but Charlie supported what happened to Charlie."

THAT ... that's what I've been trying to put into words.

What will it take for regular people to understand that if they refuse to stand up against fascism they will not be spared? Fascism is a serial killer with no restrictions on who it targets.

Pritzker: “This is a convicted felon…who is threatening to jail me. This guy is unhinged. He's insecure. He's a wannabe dictator. And there's one thing I really want to say to Donald Trump: If you come for my people, you come through me. So come and get me.”

The same kind of people who once hunted escaped slaves now wear ICE badges. History didn’t vanish, it rebranded.

Going to be disappointed when their crack undercover agents have to spend hours debating the significance of primitive accumulation and surplus value.

"What did you do in the war Grandpa?" "Well, I shot pepper spray into a guy's frog costume. We were fearless." Yeah, that story will awe the kids.

“ICE uses bureaucracy and location transfers to isolate detainees from both their families and their lawyers.” In this era of immigration enforcement, due process rights are being ignored at every turn. From @emmarjanssen.bsky.social:

Every Congressional Dem should escort her onto the floor, demand she be recognized and sworn in, and force Johnson to get security to remove them. And then do the same thing tomorrow. And the next day. The days of triangulating rules are over.

We have exited a long period of peace and entered into a struggle not unlike war, in which all the old certainties have gone malleable and the future of the republic is at stake.

Apparently American journalism is so bad they can't seem to capture any footage or eyewitness reports of "hand-to-hand combat" occurring every night in major city. You'd think at least the local TV news would be getting something.

Look, he might be able take my freedom away…or yours…or that of a friend you have 3 states away. But, get your Goddamn head screwed on tight for this: There is no fucking way….he can take away our collective freedom. That would require dropping to our knees and giving up.

I don’t know who else needs to hear this but it made me very happy! @lordvinheteiro.bsky.social is here on Bluesky but this wasn’t posted here. I follow him on TikTok. I think this would have made Freddie Mercury smile! He wanted music to be fun!

Things to consider:

Document the violence & violations--on camera, w/photos, saving images--any way you can. Speaking as a historian- it will matter

Point out violations--w/images & text--even if you think it won't matter. It will. It needs to be called out & exposed

You are a witness.
Expose it.
