Some pray for wild adventures... Having had no lack of these, I pray for long stretches of the mundane.

the intensity of my anger at those who would criminalize the homeless β€” a population literally created by the greed and callousness of the ruling class β€” is very hard to contain. it was you who dismantled the safety net. if you don’t like the results, put it back

Yes, I was hacked. It happened while I was texting with someone about my dad, who is dying of cancer, being in the hospital today. This is the worst possible time for me to try to resolve this. I'm guessing whoever did it might have known that.

Stunning how media has turned passage of the Abominable Bill into a will they-or-won't they romcom with a July 4th deadline for Cinderella to kiss the prince, rather than a situation in which multiple members of Congress say they're terrified they or their families will be killed if they cross Trump

And the *really* crazy part is: probably less than 0.1% of the planet's population is in favour.

I mean, only a complete lunatic or moron would choose war and AI, leading to planetary collapse, as his/her preferred option.

Outside immigration court in Chicago this morning, community rally in the rain in support of Ramon Morales-Reyes, a Milwaukee man snatched by ICE and accused of writing a letter threatening President Trump.

There's just one problem: the letter was fake. Another man is now accused of forging it.

A very old Soviet joke, from an especially dark time:

Foxes are fleeing the USSR in droves.
Q: Why are you running away?
Fox: The Soviets passed a new law that they’re going to arrest all camels.
Q: But you’re foxes!
Fox: Yeah, why don’t *you* try proving to the NKVD that you’re not a camel.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

National parks were the main places I wanted my kids to see, and I wrote about them in THE LAST AMERICAN ROAD TRIP. Breaks my heart that the book is coming out as Trump tries to make good on his plans to destroy them. I hope my book helps the effort to fight back. www.thelastamericanroadtrip.com

πŸ“Œ These kidsβ€”mostly from low-income, underserved communitiesβ€”were doing the right thing. Job Corps was their path to a diploma, a trade, a future.

πŸ“Œ Job Corps trains workers in construction, health care, ITβ€”jobs we desperately need filled.

Cruel and Dangerous…

The Trump administration just announced it’s shutting all Job Corps centers nationwide by June 30β€”no warning, no plan, just blindsiding students and families.

Any thought given to the lives this disrupts?

Any thought given to the skilled labor shortage this will make worse?

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.Β 
Β 
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
Β 
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

I think what is particularly infuriating is that Trump has been using stochastic terrorism for nearly a decade now and not only does the media not suggest he’s responsible for the actions he inspires but it outright scolds anyone on the left that even suggests he is.

The steady deterioration of First Amendment rights and the conflation of violence with dissent is a result not just of an authoritarian regime but of a press culture that is feckless at best and authoritarian-fluffers at worst. The New York Times is beyond redemption.

happy for Khalil of course but i must say, "lawful permanent resident not charged with any crimes, imprisoned by president's stormtroopers for having forbidden opinions about US-abetted genocide, briefly allowed to touch his child" is a hell of a thing to find oneself feeling joy and relief about

I keep getting asked if it’s legal to spend our campaign funds on food drives or our high school public service grants and the answer is YES. It is.

Politicians and Democratic organizations need to use their coffers to help people NOW and fill in the gaps that Trump has created.

if dems want messaging help, stop telling people you're "fighting back." it sounds like you're being mugged. call off the podcaster search, take your ridiculous money pile and try opening some food banks and free clinics. hurricanes are coming and the feds have no plan. looks like an opening to me.
