Seth!

One of the best parts of the LA ICE protests was intentionally ordering Waymos to set them on fire.

It's Trans Day of Remberance, I wanna remind every cis person trans people have ALWAYS been here and WILL always be here. Make sure your trans friends and community members are safe and stick around!

Especially now: Inaction is compliance. Support your friends. TRANS RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS 🏳️‍⚧️

I’ve seen a few folks go for the “if you simply must watch that new Harry Potter show just pirate it” and sorry. No. Just no. Just don’t watch it. At all. Ever. Break free of it. It’s time. You’ll be ok. I promise. I know it mattered to you as a kid. Find new things, it’s healthier. Just move on.

Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.

Today in Politics Chat, I talked about how power sloshes around when a president is checked out, and noted that right now unelected officials like Stephen Miller are trying to grab it. But instead, We the People can take it back and create a better nation.

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

"On the last episode of his show before he was killed," Kirk told "his audience, falsely, that “one in 22 Black men will be a murderer in their lifetime” and that “by age of 23, half of all Black males have been arrested and not enough of them have been arrested.”

This should go without saying, but Trump is not opposed to political violence. He’s opposed to violence against his political allies.

He is either silent about, or approving of, violence against his political enemies.

We must stand resolutely against political assassination and political violence of all kinds, and just as resolutely against everyone who exploits acts of violence as the pretext or excuse for political repression of political opponents.

It’s not much better, but it is distinctly different from what you tweeted. And I think those distinctions still matter.

He didn’t call the assailant an “amazing patriot,” that was in reference to someone bailing him out. Still despicable, but not quite the same level.

We have a bit of a natural experiment here. Compare the tone, quantity and duration of Charlie Kirk coverage with that of the two Dem lawmakers gunned down in their homes in Minnesota 6 months ago. May be revealing.

average Dem strategist: we must focus on bipartisan policies that undercut Republican attacks

average Dem voter: having studied the denazification of Germany, we must raze the RNC and leave JD Vance clutching a single wool blanket in a cell after we strip him of everything

Headline 1, "Americans are losing spending power, say researchers: Most can no longer afford a 'minimal quality of life.'" Headline 2, "The 10 richest Americans got $365 billion richer in the past year. Now they're on the verge of a huge tax cut."

The United States summed up in two headlines.

According to this Supreme Court, President Biden's Department of Education was exceeding its power by trying to forgive peoples' student loans.

President Trump, on the other hand, has the power to just completely dismantle the entire Education Department.

Re: stripping citizenship, look. There is no legal mechanism for him to do it. The very fact that he is talking about it tells you, yet again, what he is. He’s an aspiring totalitarian who wants absolute power over people’s lives and to use it to reward friends and punish enemies. That’s really it.

4 U.S. citizen children, with their mother, held in a detention facility for 2 WEEKS. Denied access to lawyers and even communication with family.

Disappeared. Held Incommunicado. No charges have been filed.

What's up with Justice Jackson? She started making her mark and speaking out early, and some of her dissents are so pointed Kagan and Sotomayor don’t even join them. The far right is out for her, and even Republican justices are getting snarky.

So what's up? Here’s my take 🧵

the other thing is that no one who fetishizes manual labor actually cares to improve life for people who are in those circumstances! no support for unionization or a generous welfare state! no interest in policies that make life easier for people who work their hands or afford them more autonomy!

Happy Independence Day 🇺🇸

My mom and stepdad are from the same diaspora group as Zohran Mamdani’s dad (same like “my stepdad was kicked out of the same town and knows some of his classmates”) and apparently the New York Times doesn’t understand how diaspora works, so I am going to tell you a little about my mom’s people!

Happy Independence Day!

the president may not like the idea of spending $7 billion on after school programs, but it IS NOT UP TO HIM. what this administration asserts, again and again, is that the president has sovereign authority over nation

law professors have been unable to understand why people are actually concerned about this case. it’s not about nationwide injunctions per se, it’s about a court that waited until the issue hurt the GOP, and then intervened on behalf of one of the most egregious constitutional violations we’ve seen

This is not hyperbole. We are in a real “heads we win, tails you lose” era with this Supreme Court.
