The most evil monster in America today is the Republican Party and their evil media.
If you really want to know who the Republican Party is?…listen to their accusations of the Democrats.
This administration is committing Watergate level crimes multiple times per week—and those are the ones we know about. It’s crazy to think about what else will come out after.
It’s absolutely essential these criminals are held responsible for their crimes. We must end elite impunity.
The Trump administration has reassigned people within the Pentagon who were tracking civilian casualties to other jobs. Other teams in charge of assessing whether a strike is proportionate or legal are also no longer in place, putting civilians and U.S. service members at greater risk.
This interview with the great @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social was a "wow" moment for me. Thanks, New York Times and David Marchese.

I couldn't help noticing the question that seemed the most Times-like to me.
NEW: The Iranian drone strike that killed 6 U.S. troops in Kuwait at the start of the war was far more devastating than previously disclosed.
Dozens suffered traumatic brain injuries, burns, and shrapnel wounds. At least one required an amputation. More than 30 remain hospitalized. (CBS News)
Yes.
ICE agents don't get to carve out a First Amendment exception for themselves.
The 14th Amendment is clear: The Constitution, not the president, defines who is a citizen.
Birthright citizenship is central to who we are as a country, and we're fighting to protect that right at the Supreme Court.
This is what ecocide looks like.
These soldiers have lost their lives because of the Epstein files.
This woman, US citizen living in Skokie, was detained at Ohare yesterday, taken to Broadview, then transferred to a detention facility in Wisconsin, now released. We know all this not because of DHS, who repeatedly denied that they even had her, but because her phone was pinging in those locations.
Stand Up For Science Founder & CEO Colette Delawalla states three demands:

ICE and Border Patrol's rampant racial profiling and blatant disregard for the Constitution puts us all in danger.

Livable wages, safe conditions, and strong benefits aren’t radical—they’re the bare minimum. Literally.
The Constitution unambiguously gives only Congress the power to declare war.
Our elected leaders in Congress must reassert their role as the people's representatives and take action now before more lives are lost.
La dignidad se defiende. Los derechos se conquistan. La justicia para nuestra comunidad migrante es una lucha que no se detiene. La lucha continúa.

I talked with @andreapitzer.bsky.social about why we should understand the Trump administration as a concentration camp regime, and what it means to fight back.
Join 50501 on March 5th for a mass call for a discussion about how everyday people are fighting back against the Trump administration's plans for warehouse concentration camps across America.

I currently have a newsletter in which I write regularly about how societies devolve into authoritarianism & what that means right now in the US & around the world. It also features essays about my unsettled childhood in West Virginia. Soon, it will also include art, surprises, & links to resources.

We mourn the loss of the Reverend Jesse Jackson, who played an extraordinarily consequential role not in only advancing our nation’s civil rights, but also strengthening our democracy.
Man, expectations are so low and I understand. People have been so beaten down politically that they think that nothing will be changed. But WE are the ones who have to push them to enact the policies they commit to. Nothing will 'just happen.'

The volume & geographic distribution of protest nationwide during year 1 of Trump's second term was extraordinary.
My team at the Crowd Counting Consortium (@djpressman.bsky.social, Soha Hammam, & Chris Shay) has shared a big data update, covering all recorded US protests through Jan 2026. Some key takeaways 🧵:
Lately I've seen many references to the 3.5% rule. A few years ago I pulled together this Q&A on potential uses and misuses of this statistic. www.hks.harvard.edu/sites/defaul...
