It is so offensive what ICE is doing around America. We need to tear down the agency and replace it.

This dude @rokhanna.bsky.social is out here making sense

More of this, please. The folks in this grassroots group are heroes.

Haven Watch lives by the promise, “No One Walks Alone.” Day or night, they show up. When people are released from ICE detention, volunteers meet them in the cold, disoriented, and exhausted.

Beautiful and devastating all at once.

Okay, so now the American government is #MoneyLaundering for Russian oligarchs? Gotcha. Our country is a disgrace and I have never been so embarrassed to be a citizen. This is insanity.

ProPublica received eight handwritten letters from children who have been held at the detention center that 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was recently released from.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Sanders: The American people do not want this country to be an authoritarian society or an oligarchy. We have our differences, that’s what democracy is about—we argue it out. We don’t throw people who disagree in jail. We don’t intimidate the media. We don’t send ICE agents to shoot people.

@barackobama.bsky.social: "When I was POTUS, I suppose I could have simply unilaterally ordered the military to go into some red state and harass and intimidate a governor or cut off funding for states that didn't vote for me... but that is contrary to how I think our democracy is supposed to work."

"That government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth": Heather Cox Richardson explains America's tilts between democracy vs. oligarchy past & present "There is nothing more American than standing against kings...what will make the difference...is remembering that we are we the people. This is our moment. Let’s get out there and do it." HCR-10/14/25

How did we get to the longest oligarchic retrenchment in America’s history (e.g. now)? How did ‘movement conservatism’s’ rhetoric, ideology, and misinformation campaigns of the past ~45 years bring us to this point? And where do we go from here? Dr. Richardson illuminates our history and future.

Picture of a green cargo ship with the headline "China starts sea trials for largest electric powered containership"

You can't prove received wisdom wrong if you don't try... and you've got to give China credit for not being afraid to try. A step on the way to serious reduction of shipping emissions by 2050? Or an expensive experiment with niche coastal uses? Time will tell!

Just like with Brazil arresting their insurrectionists rather than re-electing them, other countries are holding their Epstein-tied politicians accountable far better than we do. www.bbc.com/news/article...

today on my blog, I wrote an op-ed about the history of lynching, and why its extrajudicial nature is so aptly documented by Black journalists like Georgia Fort and Black activists like Nekima Levy-Armstrong the-haters-guide-to-international-politics.ghost.io/on-lynchings...

The NFL Is “Socialist” on Purpose, and It Exposes Republican Economic Stupidity The NFL proves that rules, referees, and “redistribution” are the only way any game, including the American economy, actually works…

I don't read Thom Hartmann that often, but I find his analogy between the NFL and democratic socialism compelling. It's a story that people can easily understand, illustrating that unchecked power is antithetical to fairness.
