Walter Isaacson discussed his new book, "The Greatest Sentence Ever Written", about this sentence, on The Stephen Colbert Show tonight!

God, I had forgotten about this bit. So great.

@jonathancapehart.bsky.social After this nightmare is over, returning to the status quo is unacceptable. Where do we go from here?

Hallelujah!

From Ventura County to across this great Land of Immigrants, we have a message for ICE:
WE WILL FIND YOU AND WE WILL UNMASK YOU.
SUNLIGHT IS COMING FOR YOU ALL.

#OneOfOursAIlOfYours

I watched live. It truly seemed like they lowered the crowd noise when the US came out.

States do have the right to extend hours. Nothing should be off the table. They will not win.

They call me Baron. John Baron.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

And the people will rise up like in Portland, Los Angeles, Chicago, and, especially Minneapolis. Our fear is gone. We have witnessed heroes among us and there are many more to follow. ICE will melt in the heat generated by millions of voter protectors. I believe that we will win.

Graffiti "Take what you need" in black paint on the window of a Rachelle Bery grocery store

From the scene of the looting of a Rachelle-Béry grocery store last night in the Plateau, action claimed by les Robins des ruelles.

"Sixty people entered a Rachelle Béry location on the evening of February 3, filling their bags with groceries valued around $6000, before leaving without paying."

Folks are asking why this sort of behavior is "tolerated" from black bloc and I'd invite them to remember that during Unite the Right, black bloc intervened where cops wouldn't and likely saved the lives of more mainstream-appearing protesters multiple times.

DHS said that the woman CBP shot in the chest in Portland was “involved” in a gang shooting.

Her ~involvement~ was that suspected gang members sexually assaulted and robbed her.

"Nearby, a six-year-old wondered if the unicorn she saw marching earlier was ok. "

Tommy wasn't the only one who started a fight and lost. What do these dweebs think is going to happen when they show up to shout slurs at a crowd? What would the Right do if we did the same thing at one of their rallies?

Giant man-child provokes everyone and then cries when they fight back. Typical middle school bully behavior. Good job PDX for finally sending this blowhard packing.

"The world isn’t ending. A world is ending. Our job is to midwife the next one."

Following the horrific news from Minneapolis, we are learning that Oregon is next in line. Stand together, stay ready, and follow my account here to learn about ways you can advocate for your community.

a fun activity is checking to see how many tickets have been sold to the melania documentary at your local theater this weekend. across the 12 showings friday-sunday at mine, it's five tickets total.

It was great to come together and hear from community members in Rockwood on Tuesday. I am hosting another community listening session at the St. Johns Community Center this week, and I hope to see you there. Your voices fuel my work in Congress.

A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.
