“This is NOT who we are.” 🇺🇸
At 79, this #CivilRights Lawyer & Minister has seen it all. At the #NoKings march, he issued a warning: we are losing our 1st Amendment to a corrupt government—but he’s still hopeful.

The leader of #Project2025 once said "this is the second American Revolution and it will be bloodless, if the left allows it to be".
Let's examine the record:
Americans murdered in cold blood by ICE agents
Concentration camps being constructed everywhere
A criminal war now calling for a draft

Apparently normal walking is literally just kicking the ground over and over again as hard as you can, but missing.
Apparently people out here in the world just leave the volume on their phones … get this: ON! Alerts, videos, speakers during phone calls, just all of it, on! We are a doomed species.
I think the President musing about killing people "just for fun" would have resulted in every major paper demanding impeachment in the before times.
I wonder if it's the same thing that's causing the outage today?
Don't miss Matthew McCona-hey-hey there saying "yeah, yeah" and laughing along.
OCASIO-CORTEZ STATEMENT ON TRUMP'S COMBAT OPERATIONS IN IRAN "The American people are once again dragged into a war they did not want by a president who does not care about the long-term consequences of his actions. This war is unlawful. It is unnecessary. And it will be catastrophic. "Just this week, Iran and the United States were negotiating key measures that could have staved off war. The President walked away from these discussions and chose war instead.President Trump flippantly acknowledged the possibility of American casualties, stating "that often happens in war.' "Mr. President: this was not an inevitability. This is a deliberate choice of aggression when diplomacy and security were within reach. Stop lying to the American people. "Violence begets violence. We learned this lesson in Iraq. We learned this lesson in Afghanistan. And we are about to learn it again in Iran. Bombs have yet to create enduring democracies in the region and this will be no different. "In moments of war, our Constitution is unambiguous: Congress authorizes war. The President does not. I will do my part to uphold our Constitution by voting YES on Representatives Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie's War Powers Resolution. Every member of Congress must join us in rejecting this aimless war.
My statement on President Trump’s combat operations in Iran⬇️
In a long line of impeachable acts.
I guess we should have stopped him when we were just bombing fishing boats from Venezuela. People were saying it was just a test of how far we would let him go. How far Congress would let him go. Now we know how far: unilaterally starting an illegal war.
free note to everyone: you can just say we shouldn’t be bombing Iran rather than pretending this would be fine if Trump explained himself better
When people on the right call Democrats "commies" I roll my eyes because the idea that Dems are Communist is hilarious (I wish they were!). Do they think that when I call Trump a fascist that I'm trolling or being hyperbolic in the same way? Because I'm not. It's fucking textbook.
the Erie County Sheriff’s Office who originally arrested and beat this man requested $428 million from Erie County to build a new jail complex, even though current buildings aren’t near capacity. They also got two new helicopters even though they can’t afford to outfit them.
Defund the police.
I refuse to get used to our government murdering people on the high seas. If they can do it to these people, they can do it to you.
First of many.

I was coding with Claude (my AI assistant) and asked a question it answered. I said “bet” and Claude gave a thumbs up emoji. Was that confirming my coolness, or was it an eyeroll in disguise? I guess it's important to understand that I'm nearly 60 years old so I guess I already know the answer.
Look, at the risk of whatever punk or indie cred I’ve managed to cling to into my ‘50s, I’m gonna call it now. Album of the year: "Wuthering Heights" by Charli XCX.
I cast my very first vote in a national election for Jesse Jackson in the 1984 Democratic primary. I'm not sure I've been as happy with a candidate since then.
Yes, same.
My advice to every elected Democrat is to do the EXACT OPPOSITE of whatever Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries tells you to do.
I cannot stress how they have gotten EVERY SINGLE choice wrong for the last year, and have poisoned the American people’s faith that we are even an opposition party.
Less than 48 hours after the deadly attack at Sydney's Bondi Beach that left more than a dozen dead, Australian authorities announced proposals for sweeping new gun laws. n.pr/48UTa7g
Obviously this is impossible because Alan Moore looks like he's genetically a wizard, it's simply impossible to imagine what he would look like as a schoolboy oh there he is.
i'm actually struck by how pete hegseth isn't just a cowardly man but a capital-c Coward. a guy who gets off on abusing and hurting people he thinks are weaker than him and then tries to run and hide when there might be consequences
For some reason Democratic leaders seem to prefer telling voters what they won’t be able to do, rather than what they’d like to do.
If Hegseth ordered a war crime and lied about it, shouldn’t Ds try for impeachment? Put Rs on the spot. They might get a few defections.

While mentioned on two wikipedia pages, I have been forced to accept the cold hard fact that I will never rate one of my own. Oh well, maybe next time around. #reincarnation #drummer #notfamous
There has been a rush among centrists like Gavin Newsom and Ezra Klein to brush over the hateful life of Charlie Kirk and valorize the man.
Let me be clear, killing Charlie Kirk was wrong and abhorrent.
We must condemn murder without sanitizing a man who built his empire on hate.
My latest piece.
