The incredible grassroots anti-ICE organizing in LA, Chicago, NC, and now New Orleans is probably the most hopeful political thing I’ve seen all year.

Are farmers going to be on welfare for all 4 years of this Trump term, or just for 3 years like the first Trump term?
We get you like voting for government handouts, but we are $38 trillion in debt.

Huh. How about that? Now all those Democratic centrists will have to scramble like mad to come up with some other reason to crush the wildly popular left-wing of their own party.

A potato’s with eyes would be more proactive. Pretty soon I’m gonna start believing he’s taking bribes from Putin to destroy the Democratic Party from within and subvert American democracy.

Disappointed to see this. 160 union workers are fighting for a fair contract at Individualized Shirts, a US factory that makes high-end men's button-ups. The managers there have rejected the union's request for fair wages and health insurance. The union is asking for support 🧵

Every woman knows that moment: when the men in the room don’t see you as an equal, not even fully human. Yet, we smile, nod, swallow it. Because calling it out makes us “too sensitive.” I say, f*ck that sh*t. It’s not harmless. It’s the culture. And we’re done.
Back the f*ck off.

Oh, those good Christian conservatives! Jesus would be so proud. I can just picture him hanging on the cross, offering comfort and benediction to the thief crucified next to him, when Megyn Kelly walks up and says this to the Roman soldiers:

No mainstream media outlet has grasped the terrifying enormity and implications of this. This is a club to beat the last dregs of American democracy to death. The cost of the club is irrelevant compared to the purpose for which it will be used.

The president is a political cartoon of corruption come to life, a gaudy grifter who is selling off pardons and lining his pockets, building a golden ballroom and protecting his fellow sex predator elites, all the while regular Americans are suffering and struggling to make ends meet.

To be clear, the FBI paid nearly $1M in overtime over a FIVE DAY PERIOD last March. And yes, part of it was to find and redact Trump's name. I spoke to sources who reviewed the files for the FBI and DOJ and wrote about it here: www.muellershewrote.com/p/the-epstei...

I hope that this doesn't just become about "Nuzzi is bad" but fosters a wider recognition that our culture of political journalism that didn't just tolerate her, but promoted and celebrated her even after the allegations were known, is rotten to the core and has been for a long time.
this was bad before, but these are the most troubling and serious allegations you can make about a journalist. if they’re true, i genuinely can’t think of a worse scandal in the history of political journalism. devastating to our industry, to public trust as a whole, and to everyone in its orbit

Trump was gleeful that the National Guardsman were attacked, he’s been trying to place them in harms way for months for his cheap theatrics. For him it was opportune that military personnel would come under fire as a growing number of US veterans are becoming vocal against him.
