He’s upset that Becoming is trending on Netflix and it’s so lovely and human.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

"It may take time to prove you're right, but you have to stick to it."
- Fred Korematsu

Jailed for refusing to abide by FDR's Exec Order 9066, he took his case against internment all the way to the Supreme Court - and lost. Remember him on Korematsu Day, January 30th. 1/

Over 100 priests arrested in Minneapolis for protesting ICE in Minnesota where today it's -21 degrees outside MSP Airport.

The clergy gathered in prayerful solidarity to demand airlines cease contracting deportation flights to DHS.

Article title: Agenda Seeding: How 1960s Black Protests Moved Elites, Public Opinion and Voting Article Abstract How do stigmatized minorities advance agendas when confronted with hostile majorities? Elite theories of influence posit marginal groups exert little power. I propose the concept of agenda seeding to describe how activists use methods like disruption to capture the attention of media and overcome political asymmetries. Further, I hypothesize protest tactics influence how news organizations frame demands. Evaluating black-led protests between 1960 and 1972, I find nonviolent activism, particularly when met with state or vigilante repression, drove media coverage, framing, congressional speech, and public opinion on civil rights. Counties proximate to nonviolent protests saw presidential Democratic vote share increase 1.6–2.5%. Protester-initiated violence, by contrast, helped move news agendas, frames, elite discourse, and public concern toward “social control.” In 1968, using rainfall as an instrument, I find violent protests likely caused a 1.5–7.9% shift among whites toward Republicans and tipped the election. Elites may dominate political communication but hold no monopoly.

I’ve been studying civil rights protests for 20 years. With new mobilization against Trump’s agenda, I’m sharing a thread summarizing my research on how nonviolent & violent actions by 1960s activists and police influenced media, elites, public opinion & voters. 1/ www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

I’m seeing lots of people on here misunderstand the purpose of ICE watch.

It’s de-escalation. And it’s grounded in the social science of violence. 🧵

In extraordinary message, Fed chair announces that he’s being extorted/coerced by the US government under color of law.

how is this real

Fantastic reporting here.

I think I confuse the algorithm. I homeschool because my autistic son begged not to go back after COVID. My husband is a teacher and I am pro public education and actual science. (Lots of liberal homeschoolers are. No one talks to us.)
But it is scary what I see in those spaces.

The article does challenge it. Which is refreshing.

Why doesn’t any reporter ask him, “Why do you think you won’t get into heaven?”

That she told them not to use the word “synergy “ tells me she hasn’t spent five minutes in any kind of newsroom.

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants

yeah they're just murdering random people on these boats

Trump seems to back off Portland military plan: 'Am I watching things on television that are different from what's happening?' President Trump had said he will send troops to Portland to protect U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities, which he said were "under attack."

This is an absolutely extraordinary, revelatory quote. Why is the NBC affiliate in Portland the only place reporting it? www.kgw.com/article/news...

The only way to see the US as a historically white country is if you pretend Indigenous Americans don't exist and you ignore the fact that African Americans have been in this country longer than most of its white people.

The way US history is taught from k-12 affirms the lie of white supremacy.

National Defense Ministry Honors 11 Soldiers for Refusing Illegal Orders National Defense Ministry Honors 11 Soldiers for Refusing Illegal Orders Honored for rejecting illegal orders during martial law, Marine death probe

The South Korean Ministry of Defense has awarded medals of merit to 11 officers for disobeying direct orders of superiors during the martial law fiasco, orders that they deemed to be contrary to the constitution and endangerment to democracy.

Indie director Barbara Marques has been kidnapped by ICE. She is legally married to a U.S. citizen & was at a green card mtg when she was abducted and prevented from seeing her lawyer. Her husband Tucker May does not know where she is. Please spread the word so he can find her /1

the lesson of the kimmel thing is that a corporation that previously caved to trump was forced by its audience to defy him.

they're afraid of him but they're more afraid of you.

Leviticus is in the Bible, but it was written at least 500 years before Jesus from an oral tradition a couple thousand years old.

Jesus goes through much of that oral tradition (Matthew 5-7) with “You have heard it said … but I say to you …” statements, including “Love your enemies.”

Can someone with influence please start calling Trump the biggest snowflake?

@wired.com, could you please look into this? And thank you for actually covering this administration.

I love this so much.

Not everyone in my household is white, or I would do the same. If they are in yours, please do it for me.

Just some olive oil and vegetables, especially broccoli, and they’re so good. (And I am not a natural lover of vegetables.)

Great for reheating, too.

If you haven’t bought one yet, I love my Sur La Table. It has racks, a rotating fry basket, and a rotisserie plus the basket.

Frustrated with CBS, but this is some good reporting.

So much love for Superman. Kindness is the real punk rock.
Plus a dog.

This.

Dictatorships often isolate their own countries from the world, and this move by the US to discourage foreign visitors should be viewed in that light.

They will continue to escalate. I expect they will eventually increase barriers to Americans travelling outwards as well.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:

1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long

All lies.
