modern mural rembering the Falls Curfew of 1970

If theres one thing we know from The Falls Curfew of 1970 is that tear gassing residential districts profoundly radicalises the inhabitants and is remebered for decades

Portland Protestors
Baiting ICE Agents

Calling it ICE FISHING

If ICE or the military is occupying your city, at the very least, do not cooperate. Do not serve them in restaurants! Close hotel doors to them! Do not let them use your restrooms! Make them as uncomfortable and unwelcome as possible.

RE: Chicago, Portland, Memphis, New York, Washington D.C.

I think this is right:
"We've slid into some form of authoritarianism," says Steven Levitsky, a professor of government at Harvard. "It is relatively mild compared to some others. It is certainly reversible, but we are no longer living in a liberal democracy."

Are you in a state with a major election this year (CA, ME, NJ, PA, VA etc) and you’re sick of getting calls and texts from volunteers asking you to vote?

Well, I have a solution.

Just vote.

As in, you are still on a list of people who haven’t voted.

“Russ Vought plans to withhold $18 billion of NYC’s federal infrastructure funding because he doesn’t want it used for “unconstitutional DEI principles.” Very cool: have we considered withholding our $320 billion dollars of annual federal tax revenue?”

If we were living under fascism, none of you would be here daring to post things. You'd be erasing your social media accounts and keeping your head down; you'd know that peacocking your faux-bravery on a network would expose you to being disappeared.
You have no idea what "fascism" really means.

Pretty clear Stephen Miller, Noem, Hegseth and Trump are trying to provoke a Civil War at this point. What's interesting is they want to do it now, because even though they're unpopular, they seem to believe this is the most popular they'll be ever again. We can't let them win.

This is a breathtaking abuse of the law and power by the President of the United States.

America is on the brink of martial law.

Do not be silent.

its truly remarkable, you have to really take the measure of it and it's almost hard to comprehend it, but the president of the united states is having texas invade illinois and oregon just to make twitter content

“The Bulwark is a written, video, and audio product. And as we grow, we are looking for people who can excel across all those mediums,” CEO Sarah Longwell said in a statement. “Catherine is not just one of those people — she’s one of the best of those people.”

Protesters storm the Presidential Palace in Georgia after almost a year of continuous protests. Frustration and resentment over the illegitimate Moscow-backed Georgia Dream government and its growing authoritarianism have boiled over.

Bulwark is a force!!

Okay. Well, if Trump is going to attempt legal end-arounds like federalizing the NG of GOP states to send them to Dem states over the objections of governors and courts, I think the Democrats should just keep the federal government shut down indefinitely.

this will only continue to escalate, they want a civil war

Rising This Week: 'Constitutional law, not martial law' Kilmar Abrego Garcia has a habeas corpus hearing on Monday. James Comey's arraignment is on Thursday, and Trump's troop gambits remain ongoing.

Trump tried to end-run a federal judge's ruling blocking the deployment of the Oregon National Guard by sending the *California* National Guard to Portland.

A hearing will begin imminently for a judge to decide whether to block him again.

HAPPENING NOW: Emergency hearing before Judge Karin Immergut on Trump's effort to circumvent her temporary restraining order re: Oregon national guard deployment.

I plan to listen in for @lawfaremedia.org.

Follow along (court remote access technology permitting...) ⬇️🧵

why would the president be riding bicycles with @daveweigel.bsky.social?

It's increasingly clear that the president lives in a constructed bubble of unreality designed by aides who are manipulating him in order to take control of US policy. Seems like an important story - wish media would cover it.

I've thought about this since long before Donald's political disaster: if crusty old racists could actually do away with everyone except the whites, would they find their utopia?

"Your hair's awful long, boy"

As I wrote three years ago, when democracy fails, it will fail unevenly and mostly, it won't look like you think it will:

They’re using American tax dollars to fund infrastructure in Argentina because that’s where they’re all going to flee when we kick them out of office

I can’t stop thinking about this photo, and what it says about how we perceive power and the balance of that power in America.

Blowing up fisherman is a giant step in that direction.

This is not ICE. This is fake news. It’s some kind of joke video that has been going around TikTok since last October and in July was added to a fake video claiming it was ICE.

Too bad for ol' Steve is that, were it not for him, I'm confident that I would've already outlived having to hear Charlie Kirk's name at all.

To be clear and to limit any possible confusion: Andrew and I are fully at Zeteo now, so you can follow us and our colleagues’ work here :)

But as a programming note, right before we ended our time as staff at Rolling Stone, we filed two print mag pieces. One was the Stephen Miller piece; the…
