Protestors holding a Mexican flag and a sign that reads "y'all don't look for missing kids this hard."

Damn 😶

We feed you.
They hunt us.

Here is the ad the Washington Post refused to run about Elon Musk this weekend.

And here is the ad the Post was happy to run by a rightwing group funded by Musk that smeared me in October.

I started Democracy Docket to be fiercely independent and prodemocracy. Check it out. www.democracydocket.com

Imagined drawing of Sylvia Webber, from Noah Smithwick, The Evolution of a State or Recollections of Old Texas Days (Austin: The University of Texas Press, 1983), 169.

Since it's the first day of Black History Month, let's recall Sylvia and John Webber, for whom Webberville east of Austin is named. The couple were central figures in Texas' headed-south version of the Underground Railroad. See her story here: www.tshaonline.org/handbook/ent...

Jim Acosta just powerfully announced on air he is leaving CNN with the words: "It is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant." He added, "Don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to the fear. Hold on to the truth and to hope." Amen. Jim will be missed.

Perfect response!

A Mole Infiltrated the Highest Ranks of American Militias. This Is What He Found. Outraged by the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, a wilderness survival trainer spent years undercover climbing the ranks of right-wing militias. He didn’t tell police or the FBI. He didn’t tell family or friends....

Outraged by Jan 6, he spent two years getting inside the top ranks of militias like the Oath Keepers. He was stunningly successful. He penetrated a new generation of militia leaders, which included doctors, cops & government attorneys.

This is his story. www.propublica.org/article/ap3-...

So gratifying to see, at long last, the great voting rights activist & legend Mrs. Fannie Lou Hamer recognized with a presidential Medal of Freedom. A true champion of democracy, and personal hero.

Last few days before Christmas break. Pray for me. These kids play with my nervous system.

GNX is a Christmas album, tv off is the new Silent Night, and I won't be explaining any of this any further.

This didn't last long.

Handsome little Yorkie snuggled in bed.

Winter is here. Literally and figuratively. Benj and I chose peace today. We’ll see how we feel tomorrow.

YouTube video by Film The Police LA LAPD Officer's Disturbing Past: Meet Philip Ruiz

LAPD officer Philip Ruiz has a history of harassment, stalking, domestic violence and sexual assault. He even told his ex he was going to kill her and her boyfriend.

Yet the LAPD refuses to fire him:

BlueSky is trying to monetize so let's show them some numbers:

Reskeet this if you refuse to pay for BlueSky+ until trust & safety decides to prioritize marginalized users.

That's $96 / year of lost revenue for each reskeet...

until the day i die i will never understand how this wasn’t the end of it

I once had a professor ask “Why is there a Business section in the newspaper but not a Labor section?” My classmates and I probably rolled our eyes, but damned if I haven’t remembered that question every few days for 30 years now.

Reminder that the work @rudyfraser.com does deserves financial support

i’m gonna just watch this at least once a day and i recommend everyone do the same

Beware of the people who spent the last several years mocking Hunter Biden’s addiction issues who are now virtue signaling about Pete Hegseth’s alcohol issues.

That a right-wing lawyer just suggested before the Supreme Court that Americans don't have a right to not conform is... a real mask-off moment in a way I suspect is not going to get enough attention.

This. 🤦🏻‍♂️

If you have any information regarding the death of Patricia McGlone, or the real identity of her husband, please contact NYPD Crime Stoppers at 800-577-8477 (TIPS). The case is still being actively investigated and I’ll report back with any new details that emerge in the coming weeks and months.

People don't get that Trump's DOJ can harass critics without indicting them. Launching a mere investigation would drain them of resources.

One model is how House GOP investigations have already been used against MAGA enemies. My exchange with Michael Sozen on that:

Bold? Interesting word choice. This is exactly why a pardon was the right move. They will pursue him the rest of his life.

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record.

They run them bc people react to them the most.

If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change.

It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

please don’t let Lil Wayne spoil this holiday by releasing raps
