I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
Stay free
Clearly some people have never heard of impact over intent
Isa’s a dear friend and incredible activist. She’s done a ton of great work with NSI since she joined.
Big loss to NSI.
Salem has had it with Trump crying "witch hunt" whenever anyone tries to hold him accountable.
We know a thing or two about witch hunts.
And we recognize that Trump's war against immigrants & trans people is the real modern day witch hunt.
Salem residents say never again. Not on our watch.
Potentially good
they are mostly targeting black employees so this is quite literally just a repeat of woodrow wilson’s segregationist purge of the federal government
How in the world does THIS happen?

i don’t even know if crime is the right word for the illegal destruction of USAID. it is an autocratic power grab and a direct attack on the sovereignty of the american people
Murphy: "We need to act like a real opposition party in the middle of a constitutional and democracy crisis. That means we should not be moving forward nominees or legislation in the Senate. Ds should not be giving votes to nominee or legislation in the Senate until Rs get serious about this crisis"
Russell Vought would have immense power to enforce Trump’s extremist agenda if he's confirmed as OMB director. Vought has made it clear he will not hesitate to violate laws and norms in service of MAGA. app.sosha.ai/s/My0TUWFh
Murphy: "This is a constitutional crisis that we are in today. Let's call it what it is."
In what universe does “Judge” Cannon NOT deserve swear words?

A request for cis allies:
Report and block Jesse Singal. In addition to his highly problematic history in journalism, he's now actively calling on his Twitter followers to harass trans women he disagrees with on Bluesky.
She’s a Russian asset. Full stop.
Add this to the grifter pile.
The combination of arrogance and ignorance is key here.
Because those who wield it are too arrogant to know they’re ignorant. Dunning-Kruger supercharged.
The fact that a legislator can’t realize his tweet finally got 23 million views on a platform where the owner retweeted it and where he arbitrarily throttles views he despises and pushes complimentary ones is a HUGE problem.
Ro Khanna is the problem.
His momma is helping him make calls.
How cute.
Frum here nails it.
Textbook obeying in advance.
Wow! Thank you!
The House majority LITERALLY came down to 3 seats in NC that the state GOP gerrymandered out of existence, aided and abetted by the State Supreme Court and by SCOTUS. The NC State Supreme Court majority was flipped by ONE seat in 2022.
To my earlier point: none of these picks are about competence and reasonableness. None of it is about expertise.
It's all about loyalty to Drumpf and cronyism.
My informed reply is “hell no.”
He might get confirmed more easily than HellSeth. But with one caveat: he’s about as well liked as Gaetz. Draw your own conclusions from these data points.
I could go on about why he’s not a decent or reasonable pick. But again, as a Floridian, I implore you to google a few things about what this guy has done in this state. And that includes weaponizing the State’s National Guard for his immigration stunts in Texas. Do we want this guy at the Pentagon?
Also, “running” the third largest state has meant so far, book bans, destroying public education, destroying the insurance market (rates on homeowners insurance have skyrocketed and dozens of insurers have left the state), nominating a quack to surgeon general, annihilating the COVID response.
Would DeSantis get confirmed more easily than HellSeth? Yes.
Does that mean he’s more reasonable and more qualified? No.
Part of “not obeying in advance”, I think, is recognizing that NONE of these picks are meant to be in good faith. None of it is about policy or expertise. It’s all about cronyism.
Agree on DeStuntis. If memory serves he worked at JAG for a while, so he’s marginally more competent than HellSeth. But as a Floridian I don’t want this goon near our military because he’s a culture war fueled toady and a bigot. And he’s a do-nothing incompetent.
