NBC editing out the booing of JD Vance is a disgrace. It’s an international event. Americans have the right to know what the world is saying. NBC has bowed down to Trump.

β€œ.. at some point, you have to ask: How much is too much? At what point is a line finally crossed? .. At what point are you no longer supporting your country, but supporting one man, and all of the ugliness he brings to the table?”

β€œHe is not just an execrable human being, not just flawed, not just without a single f–-king redeeming trait, but he is also the creepiest among us, the sleaziest, and, as we have seen with special clarity over the past few days, quite possibly the man with the worst, most vulgar taste”…

The 3.5% rule: Understanding what makes protest powerful Harvard Kennedy School's Professor Erica Chenoweth studies what makes nonviolent mass movements succeed.

The next No Kings protest: March 28. The last one brought out 2% of the US population, the largest in US history. A study says every mass movement of 3.5% has peacefully dethroned its dictator. So: each No Kings marcher this time simply needs to bring 1 friend. www.hks.harvard.edu/faculty-rese...

From this moment forward (and before, but clearly now):

-If you work for ICE.
-If you vote for money for ICE.

You are complicit. This is the gestapo. You're on the wrong side. You can't pretend not to know.

He could build himself a golden monument on the White House lawn and it would be described as β€œan unusual project that belies his focus on affordability.” He could institute a military blockade of my city and it would be described as β€œa hard-edged approach to immigration policy.”

Want to Stop ICE? Go After Its Corporate Collaborators. ICE can’t function without help from the private sector. So we should force the private sector to stop helping.

this is a very strange video. it accuses @adamserwer.bsky.social of recapitulating a narrative of founder worship and liberal nationalism β€” which he does not do in the piece in question β€” and then concludes with an appeal to reconstruction, when serwer’s piece is grounded in that exact appeal!

🚨BREAKING: DOJ admits it has only released 12,285 documents required by Epstein Files Transparency Act. More than 2 million documents still need to be reviewed/released. DOJ is in violation of federal law that required release by Dec. 19.

Trump’s Vile Attack on Mark Kelly Backfires as Harsh Retort Goes Viral As Senator Kelly fights back against Trump and Pete Hegseth, who are punishing him for criticizing them, a legal expert explains how this saga lays bare Trump-MAGA’s deeper lawlessness.

Everyone should watch Senator Mark Kelly's brutal video response to the corrupt Trump/Hegseth effort to punish him. As @leahlitman.bsky.social says on the pod: "They are saying it is illegal to encourage people to follow the law."

Leah explains this all brilliantly:
