Abughazaleh: I think Kristi Noem should be tried at The Hague. And if the response from ICE to people exercising their first amendment right is to drive vehicles through them, they should not be an agency in the US.

We can't settle for Republicans’ promise of later negotiations. Because every time this Administration says something, they go back on their word.

If Republicans need Democratic votes, they need to keep health care premiums from skyrocketing for the American people.

This man is one of the campaign’s super volunteers, the nicest dude you’ll ever meet, wildly dependable, and apparently capable of taking the coolest photo of 2025.

The idea of civil rights is that all people are equal members of society, and therefore mechanisms that make people unequal are illegitimate. The far right has built a perverse mirror ideology, in which races are known to be unequal, and therefore mechanisms that make us equal are illegitimate.

Humiliated by China, Harvard, Elon Musk, and the federal courts, Trump has launched a war inside America on vulnerable people inside America.

Like any bully, Trump is fundamentally a coward.

If you don’t know what Palantir is, or the people behind it, investigate. Or listen to @hcrichardson.bsky.social Heather Cox Richardson’s interview with Gil Duran on her YT channel. He goes through everything and connects the dots really well.

Kristi Noem in Feb 2024: If Biden federalizes the National Guard [to handle border issues], we’ve got a war on our hands.”l

The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles β€” not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle.

Don't give them one.

Never use violence. Speak out peacefully.

Rev Barber has been a leader in the struggle for democracy since long before Indivisible formed. Was honored to have him open up the D.C. Hands Off rally with 100k people earlier this month. When he speaks, we listen - his moral leadership is an inspiration.

If you think a just-fertilized ovary is entitled to life but are indifferent to what happens to a kidnapped 4-year-old with cancer, sent to a dangerous country without meds, you don’t give a fuck about the lives of children. You are just in a cult that fetishizes being against abortions.

Despite being an internationally recognized artist and in demand clinician, Paul found a week for me to come have twice daily lessons. He was a most excellent teacher and I’m super grateful for the opportunity to learn from him.

I recently travelled to Galway from Chapel Hill to improve my understanding and skills on the traditional Irish drum called a bodhrΓ‘n (pronounced β€œbow ron”; take a bow, person’s name). This was my teacher, Paul McClure.
