After the assassination of Melissa Hortman it’s not hard to understand why a woman in Minnesota would be afraid of a man in a mask who says he’s a cop.

1. ICE will kill you.

2. Trumpists will lie to justify it.

3. Because they are all thug trash.

School has been cancelled tomorrow and Friday across the city of Minneapolis, because our federal government has made it unsafe for children here.

ICE must leave Minneapolis immediately and ICE must be abolished. The agent responsible must be arrested.

My prayers are with the family and loved ones of our neighbor who was murdered by ICE this morning while protecting our community.

The first known use of 'wicked' was in the 13th century.

If Epstein Shocked You, The Names Behind His Money Will Floor You. I'm Telling You More About Them...Right Here Names, Wires, Shell Companies...The Ugly Truth Treasury’s Sitting On.

Excellent Substack article by Jack Hopkins on the financial aspects of Epstein’s network that are being unearthed by Senator Ron Wyden:

In the wake of this killing fascists will demand that you conform to values they neither believe in nor practice. Decency, compassion, non-violence — you will be told to abide by these while the fascists demanding adherence tap dance on your grave."

Is the New York Times trying to wreck Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral bid? | Margaret Sullivan With their made-up scandal, combined with the pre-election editorial, the Times looks like it’s on a crusade against Mamdani

I love that former NYT public editor @sulliview.bsky.social is public-editing from the outside.

"With this made-up scandal, combined with the pre-election editorial, the Times looks like it’s on a crusade against Mamdani.

"And no lofty explanation about the mission can disguise it."

Shooting our videos is a little bit different now.

Riley Gaines spinning coming 5th in a college swim meet into a career as a political commentator says a lot about the dynamics of right-wing punditry.

America is beautiful, contradictory, unfinished. I am proud of our country even as we constantly strive to make it better, to protect and deepen our democracy, to fulfill its promise for each and every person who calls it home.

Happy Independence Day. No Kings in America.

This @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social video is absolutely INCREDIBLE. The numbers he cites, the strategy and results they produced — it’s the future. When have you heard *any* campaign talk about this, ever? (Video split in 2 to fit in Bluesky’s limits)

And people told me I was overreacting in comparing the concentration camp to Auschwitz. They're not being subtle about what they want to do

Oh, and one more #IdahoFire note before I disappear...

Keep your damn fireworks way the fuck away from public lands.

BREAKING: Zeteo has released, globally, the film the BBC so controversially refused to air.

"Gaza: Doctors Under Attack" is now available to watch in full at gazadoctors.film and zeteo.com.

Here's the trailer:

Birtherism was the canary.

Two weeks ago today, Donald Trump’s ICE agents arrested me.

Now, he’s threatening to put @zohrankmamdani in a prison camp he’s building in a Florida swamp.

It’s frightening. It’s essential to fight back. It makes me proud of how New Yorkers voted last week – and how we’ll vote again in November.

DOJ announces plans to prioritize cases to revoke citizenship Denaturalization is a tactic heavily used during the McCarthy era and one that was expanded during the Obama administration and grew further during President Trump's first term. It's a tool usually us...

"The Justice Department is aggressively prioritizing efforts to strip some Americans of their U.S. citizenship...At least one person has already been denaturalized...June 13, a judge ordered the revocation of the citizenship of Elliott Duke, who uses they/them pronouns."

can’t believe this

if young voters turned out like they did for Zohran Mamdani for every race, the Democratic Party would never lose an election again

so naturally, establishment Dems are…smearing him and refusing to endorse?

If folks really want to make this NYC primary election all about Israel - and I don’t! - then it’s worth remembering:

Netanyahu’s lawyer lost tonight to the guy who told me he’d arrest Netanyahu if he came to New York.

ZOHRAN: “I WILL BE THE MAYOR FOR EVERY NEW YORKER.”

Imagine if the Democratic Party actually helped Zohran instead of trying to kneecap him at every step. A better party is immediately possible if they stop shoving money into the anti-trans combination Racism Dial/Money Toilet and instead get behind candidates people actually want.

As my friend Bernie Sanders says, "They've got the money, but we've got the people."
