They’ve laid off so many people that the government is now getting its economic data from DoorDash.

Some of us have risked our safety, our financial security, our freedom. Just once, it would be nice for them to show an ounce of the courage the people are demonstrating every fucking day.
We are being led by absolute cowards

You’ve probably heard but I have been federally indicted by Trump’s DOJ.

We now have to cover the costs of a campaign *and* a legal battle to preserve our First Amendment rights.

I’m not trying to give @pbs.org ideas for raising money—but I am. I would buy women’s fit T-shirts of all my favorite childhood shows. Reading rainbow, 321 contact, square one, zoobiliee zoo. I feel like two generations will run to donate even more money for shirts with Levar Burton on them…

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

CALL PRITZKER TO DEMAND HE REMOVE ILLINOIS STATE POLICE FROM BROADVIEW:

(Springfield) 217-782-6830 or 217-782-6831

I called and talked about how the state cops joined ICE in brutalizing protesters today.

I also have no nostalgia for the road to fascism, which is a trap I think a lot of liberal and progressive folks are falling into—romanticizing the conditions that preceded this moment of acceleration. The path that led to this mess is not the way out.

I am of the belief that there are white people who repeatedly disrespect Black people with pedigree to remind us of our "place" in the social hierarchy.

This is @profkori.bsky.social "Know Your Place" theory.
So exhausting..

Kristi Noem couldn’t get to Twitter fast enough to use the Dallas ICE shooting for political points. But local news now says it was detainees who were shot — not ICE agents. She played politics, and three human beings are dead. We need an investigation into how this happened now!

Sorry the reason you are not seeing Black voices platformed to speak to this moment & are in fact seeing what few there were repressed is due to no lack of qualified Black intellectuals, it's deliberate white supremacism, so don't put a naive act on.

Not a Newsom fan, but glad someone is saying this. We need to get real. People don’t rise to the task without clarity about what the task is. Waiting is not an option.
Newsom: "I fear that we will not have an election in 2028 -- I really mean that in the core of my soul -- unless we wake up to the code red, what's happening in this country, and we wake up soberly to how serious this moment is."

With Sandy Brondello out, Cheryl Reeve has officially been on the job longer than every other WNBA coach combined.

I’m a Lynx fan, so I have never liked Sandy Brondello. She made PHX and NY a big problem for MN and that is exactly why it’s CRAZY that she’s been fired. I love women’s basketball, but the league and some of the organizations are making terrible staffing choices. #wnba

In case you were wondering if Cunningham was still a terrible bigot. The Fever actively (probably with help of Clark) recruited her knowing full well the issues they're having with their fanbase and her ideologies. This is what I mean when I say the Fever knowingly court a right wing culture. #wnba
I would love for a reporter with an established history/relationship with Sophie to ask her which of Charlie Kirk’s messages she agreed & disagreed with.

I.E. “reject feminism,” “prowling Blacks,” Black women lacking “brain processing power.”

Not in an antagonistic way, asking her with curiosity.

Eventually we have to stop buying that Dems sacrifice people in order to win. They are not winning! They believe their hateful ideas. Let’s start believing them.
Most editorial comments I want to make about this will get me in trouble so let me just say, trans people are precious and segregationists can go fuuuuuuuuck themselves

A Black and Asian woman shilling for segregation is SHAMEFUL

“failing to keep up” is a wild frame.

NEW: We released a report exposing how U.S. prisons are failing to keep up with the rising number of aging people behind bars.

Prisons were never designed to serve as makeshift nursing homes, yet that’s exactly what they’ve become.

Turned on MSNBC for the first time in a long time and heard the host ask if Trump expanding his enemies to late night hosts was “mission creep.” 🤡
