Thank you for writing it! (And reading it too - I just finished the audiobook!)

Woodworking by @emilystjams.bsky.social might be my favorite book of all times. Everyone should read it both because it will make you more empathetic than you are AND because it’s such a great book with characters who I just want to spend more time with

🧵 Today, we're going to learn about The USS Sumter Three — and the mutiny charges that should never have happened. It's apropos for #BlackHistoryMonth—because most people never knew about it.

Vote to fund ICE or ICE will kill more people, says cross-wearing psychopath

The US is edging into Soviet levels of absurdity.

Happy #BlackHistoryMonth !

Generational wealth

👴🏻"Why can't Black people seem to build any generational wealth in the US? Everyone else can! Are Black people just lazy? Bad at math and financial literacy? Spend it all on bling? What gives?🤡"

Read the whole thread.

In November of 2024, two weeks after voters returned President Donald Trump to office, Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. summoned employees of the U.S. Supreme Court for an unusual announcement. Facing them in a grand conference room beneath ornate chandeliers, he requested they each sign a nondisclosure agreement promising to keep the court’s inner workings secret.

Jodi Kantor in the NY Times reports that the Chief Justice requested Court employees sign nondisclosure agreements in November 2024 - moving to formal contracts requiring silence/confidentiality after Trump was reelected: www.nytimes.com/2026/02/02/u...

It’s that anti-semitism is now completely coded as “Arab / Muslim”. Thats how Mamdani can be antisemitic by just existing while Elon was just “making a gesture”

YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio)

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Stay free

Wow! This is amazing. Please make Springsteen’s “Streets of Minneapolis” trend. Here are the lyrics.

There's no ICE accountability without ending qualified immunity.

They're murdering people. There won't be justice for the lives they've stolen, but there must be accountability.

My bill with @markey.senate.gov would ensure families can sue the agents murdering their loved ones.

You will be on the receiving end of a strongly worded missive!

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

ICE has now carried out two summary executions of innocent people in the streets of an American city.

If you work for ICE, there's no denying that's the mission you're supporting now. You don't get to claim in one year or ten or twenty that you didn't know what ICE was doing. You're complicit.

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.

The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

in solidarity with MN today, please find your closest walk-in freezer and stand in it naked for a few hours

Tom Suozzi represents the NY-3 district on northwestern Long Island.

If there's any mayor or town council member in Syosset or Great Neck or wherever who wants to make their move, this is the time.

Denounce this vote, promise you'd stand up to the goons, and you'd raise a million in a week.

Perfidious Pete Hesgeth (nee Whiskey)?

Spelling Bee couldn’t find it. Because patriarchy.

Yes, the U.S. government is fascist.

How many women have died with “fucking bitch” ringing in their ears? Don’t let the misogyny get erased here

“The top donor to the Republican Party is running a company making sexual deepfakes, even of children.” Is a 100% accurate message that leaders should be repeating.

I realize there are huge implications to this - but I can’t stop reading it as 30-50 Feral Hogs….

I wish that were true.

It's Jan 5th today. US cops will shoot 80+ innocent people before Feb 5th.🤷🏿‍♂️

This violence level, by far the highest in the developed world, is steady state for US cops

"500 FBI agents
Coming after us.
With a license to kill, 30 mil
Claiming it's just a drug bust"

republicans didnt say "democrats must step up and stop obamacare, or democrats must join us in stopping biden's recovery act." they said "everything is failing because democrats suck, they always suck, you should support us because we do not suck."
