Public opinion is not fixed.
And it's the job of a campaign to move people.
Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone.
But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.
And as someone who closely monitors both websites I can assure you that X is a right wing radicalization pipeline, including for people who consider themselves smart and progressive, while Bluesky is just an overwhelming left leaning platform. Those are very different things.

A large immigration detention camp in Texas has been closed to visitors and attorneys due to a measles outbreak, a lawmaker said.

Jesse Singal is one of the single most dangerous people in public health and human rights, and, effectively, a less powerful RFK. Jr. He appears to have woken up one day and decided that ruining peoples' lives based on batshit interpretations of data and science would be his life's work.
The Dem Party is in fact filing suit due to the disenfranchisement. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a... "... On Tuesday evening, the chairman of the Dallas County Democratic Party filed a lawsuit after many Democrats did not know where to go to cast their ballot."

Musk, worth $829 billion, owns X.
Bezos, worth $234 billion, owns The Washington Post & Twitch.
Zuckerberg, worth $231 billion, owns Facebook, Instagram & WhatsApp.
And now Larry Ellison, worth $202 billion, is about to control CNN, CBS, TikTok & HBO.
Yes, this is oligarchy.
Iranians came together to bid a final farewell to 168 young girls, aged 7 to 12, who were killed in a U.S.-Israeli strike targeting their elementary school.
Individuals who carefully followed the rules in place until just last week now face criminal penalties for having the "wrong" gender marker on their identity documents. Simply driving to the Division of Vehicles to change a license back to one's birth sex becomes "operating a vehicle without a valid credential," a Class B misdemeanor, punishable by up to six months in jail, a $1,000 fine, and a 90-day license suspension. More troubling, officials are required to keep a list of everyone who reverts the gender marker on the driver's license back to their birth sex. According to an email obtained by independent journalist Marissa Kabas, Ken Selk, Driver's Services Manager for the Kansas Department of Vehicles, instructed employees to track people complying with SB 244.
The Kansas law labeled existing IDs as no longer legal, was implemented without giving people a reasonable window to change their IDs, and establishes a special state database to track and monitor trans people. Is there any other group for whom this would be acceptable?
New from @isaacsederbaum.bsky.social & @paisleycurrah.com at Can We Still Govern:
Many trans people in Kansas just had the primary form of ID deemed illegal. It fits a pattern of criminalizing compliance with previous policies. 🧵https://donmoynihan.substack.com/p/when-compliance-becomes-a-crime
I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to
EXCLUSIVE: At more than 30 installations, U.S. commanders told troops the war on Iran is a Christian war.
The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has been “inundated” with more than 110 complaints.
One NCO said they were told the U.S. war is to bring about Armageddon and the return of Jesus…
If you're not specifically researching Nazis and hate movements, you really need to stop posting on X.
In particular, no D politician or progressive group should be on X now. Get the hell off. You endanger the people who come to see your posts there AND you expose yourself to Nazi propaganda.

Check out this recent @nature.com paper reporting a field experiment on X. It shows X's algorithm boosts conservative content and downranks traditional media—shifting users’ views on key issues. Switching to chronological doesn’t reverse the effect. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Goading the antiwar left into trashing gold star family members is a pretty effective strategy, because it gets the left to violate a major military cultural taboo in the opening act.
Wow, give that frog a bonus - amazing!
Honored to be on this call Thursday 3/5 with Sarah Parker and Frank Abe addressing the expansion of concentration camps in the US. There will be historical context, a look at exactly where we're at now, and concrete ideas for how to push back against the threat and build a better country.
My latest article for @sojo.net is all about what we can learn from 19th century abolitionists in the fight to abolish ICE. "We have to remain clear that abolition means a complete abolishing of ICE, not a rebranding or a kinder, softer form of immigration enforcement." sojo.net/articles/opi...
Trump has launched an illegal regime change war in Iran with American lives at risk. Congress must convene on Monday to vote on Rep. Thomas Massie & my WPR to stop this. Every member of Congress should go on record this weekend on how they will vote.
How to understand war with Iran? We must get away from propaganda. Facts suggest two interpretive frameworks: a foreign war as a mechanism to destroy democracy at home; and a foreign war as an element of personal corruption by the president of the United States.

Remember: Donald Trump created this crisis. He walked away from the Iran nuclear deal that was working, promising a "better deal." He didn't deliver. He escalated, abandoned real diplomacy, and has now led us into a conflict that puts us all at risk.
