Let me give a proper & full attempt at an answer, rather than just the quote skeet answer because this is one of the most important questions that can be asked right now. What we're seeing is an ongoing attempt to rework American state & societal formation into a white Christian herrenvolk. 1/

Banning controversy reveals Bluesky’s federation isn’t there yet Twitter alternative hasn’t been able to let its users spread their wings amid moderation disputes

NEW: My full report on the Link banning situation, with quotes and detailed analysis of why his ban on Bluesky affected him on Blacksky.

Live coverage of the Illinois v. Trump hearing over deployment of federalized national guardsmen to Chicago ⬇️⬇️

Work requirements are going to cost a ton to implement, at a time when states will have less administrative resources, and despite evidence that they don't work

Update on the Link ban situation in case your were wondering.

Judge: That's what I'll do. Prohibit federalization or deployment of any NG troops into Oregon. For all reasons in prior opinion. Deployment of federalized military is ultra vires and contrary to law, violating Title 10, section 12406. I also find it's likely that defendants violate 10th Amendment.

DOJ: CA NG is already federalized

Judge: You are an officer of the court. Do you think this is an appropriate way to deal with my order? Appropriate way of dealing with ruling you disagree with?

DOJ: Well, I'm not a policy maker

Judge: You're a lawyer

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, a Black man with short black hair and a graying goatee is wearing glasses, a light suit, dark tie, and a City of Chicago lapel pin as he speaks to the press. Standing behind him, looking solemn as he glances down, is Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, a white American Jew of Ukrainian descent. He has dark hair that is graying at the temples and is wearing a dark blue suit. They are standing before a blue background on which the words "City Colleges of Chicago" appear repeatedly.

🧵This is from yesterday's press conference with Johnson & Pritzker.

Johnson was saying "we're talking about little girls & little boys being ripped apart from their mother & their father," & I was overcome by the fact that both these men are from communities who know that experience in their bones.

Trying to see this any other was than that this is essentially a statement that we are no longer a federation of states protected by a central government, but that we can be targeted & picked off one by one if anyone chooses to take the opening

This is the cascade that has been in motion since 2016

When I was just out of college I spent a year in Ecuador where the president was a corrupt populist Abdala Bucaram, who called himself El Loco Que Ama, the madman who loves you. Put his name on everything. Discounted milk was sold as 'Abdalac.'

Anyhow, not quite sure why I'm telling you that...

Every elected Democrat should be talking every day about what retribution will look like. People want payback. And they aren’t wrong to want it. Tell them how you’re going to give it to them. Be explicit. It will get them to the polls better than a zillion egghead policy promises.

This is amazing: @ladwp.com, the Los Angeles utility, has launched a program that will install solar+battery systems on qualifying low-to-moderate-income households, *for free*.

Yes: free.

Researchers estimate that hurricanes and tropical storms* contributed to more deaths (3.6–5.2 million) than all motor vehicle accidents (2.0 million), infectious diseases (1.9 million) or U.S. battle deaths (1.3 million) from 1930 to 2015.**

Separate from the fact that the mercantilism will continue until morale improves...I, for one, am glad that we fought an entire national election over the issue of IT security of our senior public officials. Congrats again, everyone.

I saw, during my reporting in Hungary, how much putting friendly oligarchs in charge of the media matters in authoritarian consolidation.

That's starting to happen in the United States. www.vox.com/politics/462...

Little Free Anti-ICE Libraries: yesterday multiple people were abducted by ICE in my Chicago neighborhood (Avondale). This morning I added 40 ICE alert whistles to three different LFLs, including one box that is about a block from one of the kidnappings. I have ordered 700 whistles.

Steve is fine/uninjured. Some neck pain from being tackled.

His biggest concern while in custody was what was happening to people outside the facility since he couldn't hear any of the munitions from inside.

In typical Steve fashion, he also made a number of new friends while detained.
