Goodbye and good riddance.
But don’t take the bait. Firing Noem alone won’t halt Trump’s campaign of terror.
The atrocities happening by ICE behind the walls of detention facilities and in broad daylight have proven that ICE cannot be reformed.
Abolish ICE NOW.
I don't care if Congress authorizes War on Iran. NO WAR ON IRAN. I want people to fucking reclaim their morality.
every person who dedicated their time and energy to bring us from point A to point B here has blood on their hands that will never wash off
they’re the ones who should be exiled from society instead of trans people
Friends this is really important, even just from a messaging standpoint
Billionaires don’t own the earth or the firmament
Even if you don’t like astronomy (you should) or you’re totally incurious as to your place in the universe (you should be), you should oppose this insanity
1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.
my expectation of democratic senators is that they find 1/10th of the bravery of your average 70 year old lutheran lady following ICE around mpls in her subaru crosstrek
Abolish DHS. If you can imagine a world before Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, you can imagine a world without the Department of Homeland Security. My latest at @startribune.com. (gift link)
Good morning. I'd like to invite anyone who is interested to make a small gesture of kindness today. It's up to you to decide what that can be. The key is for you to act on the idea. With so much out of our control, we can choose how to be with each other today and every day.
In fact we have records of at least 65,000 immigrants in the late MEDIEVAL period. This means real numbers were significantly higher. In England more than 1% of the population was foreign born (never mind 2nd gen) with numbers as high as 1 in 10 in cities. There’s a database!
I don't know who needs to hear this, but cops are not allowed to shoot people just because you didn't do what they said.
That is called murder when they do that.
Some cops are working hard to convince people otherwise.
Even if she had been a paid agitator (she wasn’t) it’s still illegal to murder people.
Jacob Maris painted this so-called bluff-bowed ship on the beach in Scheveningen. Coastal villages didn’t have a harbour, so ships had to set sail straight from the beach and return there again. Horses helped them get in and out of the water. 🐴⛵

Let's just cancel everything from now until the holidays. Everyone gets a six week sabbatical.
Dick Cheney was a cruel bureaucrat who made corrupt institutions more abusive. Officials in those institutions then surrendered what was left of their morals to accommodate his evil vision. In time, those institutions became even more corrupt. What politicians say today will be revealing of the rot.
"I DON'T NEED YOU TO FUCKING REWRITE WHAT I'VE JUST WRITTEN!"
If you're staring at tough choices, go to findhelp.org. Type in your zip code-get connected to local food banks, free groceries, and emergency aid. It works in every city. No strings. Just help.
I can't decide whose head in early modern England would explode the most watching this video.
Historian here No Kings is the most American thing you could say and the people opposing it simply don’t believe in our republic or constitutional democracy.
the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.
More than 300k Black women being pushed out of the labor market while white men gained 365k more jobs is what we mean when we refer to racism as systemic.
Guess it’s time for your periodic reminder that mentally ill people are actually statistically less likely to commit violent crimes; more likely to be victims; and more at risk of hurting themselves than others. If you want to curb gun crimes curb guns. Threading some studies here!
