Trump’s NSPM-7 Labels Common Beliefs As Terrorism “Indicators”
With the mainstream media distracted by the made-for-TV drama of James Comey’s indictment, Trump has signed a little-noticed national security

According to the New Yorker, Donald Trump and his family profited off the presidency by an estimated $4 billion in 2025 — mostly through shady crypto deals.
That amounts to $456,621 per hour.
But how are you doing?

FDT. I stand with our patriotic Olympians who voice dissent, putting the First Amendment in first place. 🥇
This is what Hess said: “It brings up mixed emotions to represent the US right now. I think it’s a little hard. There’s obviously a lot going on that I’m not the biggest fan of. Just because I wear the flag doesn't mean I represent everything that's going on in the US.”

We just passed $3 million raised, powered by 57,000+ grassroots donors with an average gift of $31.
This campaign is built by people, not the ultra rich or special interests like AIPAC.

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

The Fourth Estate is vital to democracy. Stand with our journalists who are being vilified, harassed, assaulted, arrested and terminated by this authoritarian oligarchy formerly known as a constitutional republic.
A publisher who lays off a reporter whose pen is freezing because she's covering a frigid war zone while dodging missiles is not an editor you want to work for, in a more perfect world

Read @joshtpm.bsky.social on defeating the threat to voting rights.
"The promise of the American democratic experiment now resides in the Free States of the Union. They cannot accede to the illegitimate actions of a renegade executive."
Me: take it very seriously, without lapsing into cynicism.

From trailblazers like Jackie Robinson and Octavia Butler, to the proud historic community of Altadena, California's 28th District has a rich Black history paved by incredible leaders, past and present, who have broken barriers and changed our nation for the better.

The unlawful use of force, drawing of guns by DHS without cause must STOP. 🛑
happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

A wicked cold Tuxis Island sunrise this morning.
According to Algonquin Native American legend, a giant named Odziozo formed the island (“Tuxisshoag” or “Tuckshishoag" in native language) when he scooped up rocks from the mainland and flung them into the Long Island Sound.
