If the state can kill a mother, use misogynistic slurs against her, deny medical care, slander her as a "domestic terrorist," and lie about what we witnessed all in one breath—that’s total moral depravity.

He didn’t kill her because he was scared, he killed her because she wasn’t.

They won't have the numbers to occupy the nation and force everyone to comply, and that's why they're engaged in such an aggressive show of force. They're hoping we all get cowed into submission and do their work of suppression ourselves.

Once again, no.

The mantra remains "fuck you, make me."

Vance and MAGA decided to push all their chips into the middle of the table and put a big bet down on the actions of ICE agent Jonathan Ross, thinking that the public was going to side with him that Renee Good put his life in danger and he merely acted in self-defense. Dumb move.

WATCH: “Hey Jack, how many voucher kids were already in private schools?”

As @GovBillLee pushes for 20,000 MORE vouchers, @SenJohnson @LeeReevesTN & Republicans won’t answer why they won’t track how many are ALREADY in private🙈

(Hint: most of them. A coupon for the wealthy)

America really does have a five‑alarm fire in the White House: a president who openly says the only authority that can stop him is “my own morality. My own mind,” while standing on a record of criminal convictions, financial scams, and armed resource grabs abroad

This guy is in Minneapolis standing before an American citizen in an SUV.

The only reason he's brandishing an assault rifle is because he wants the people he's purportedly there protecting to feel terrorized by his presence.

This is not protection. This is occupation.

I’ve spent my career studying how regimes justify the unjustifiable. So when a civilian driver is labeled a “domestic terrorist,” I know what that language is doing — building a permission structure for violence. Minneapolis isn’t just a tragedy. It’s a warning. I break it down in my new essay.

In light of what happened to Renee Good, I thought it important to reiterate my grandmother's advice.
My grandmother’s family was murdered in the chambers of Auschwitz. She survived and told me never let it get that far. Make them shoot you in public before they murder you in hiding. Stand up for others. Never cave in fear of the Nazis or the holocaust will happen again.

There are some 20-30k ICE agents. There are approximately 250 million adults in the United States. The idea that we are helpless...is the biggest load of bullshit mindset one can have.

One of my old professors told us about how he and other political communication scholars had gotten hyped about satellite imagery + global cable news making it nearly impossible for genocides to happen without intervention, only to see that hypothesis fail in real time. A humbling experience.

Hey, let’s all take a breath.

I spin records, not law.
But nothing changes cuz of one post.

So let’s keep talking to each other like neighbors, and not forget democracy can be messy, can be off-beat, but it don’t stop cuz someone yells over the intro.

Alright. Enough noise.
Back to the music. 🎶
