I’m back and I’m coming out swinging.
I’m not the Obama we have, I’m the Obama we need.
Oh, and I might have been POTUS.

A note of clarification - any encouragement of action on my part is for peaceful action, even in the face of violence against protesters. Any warning of violence, is a warning of what could happen and not what I wish to happen.
Stay safe, stay peaceful, and take our country back, #WeThePeople!

Thanks to the advocacy of Black Alabamians and organizations like @allontheline.bsky.social, Black voters in Alabama will continue voting in fair congressional districts that allow them to elect candidates of their choice. This is a win for Alabama, and proof that progress is possible.
Alabama intentionally discriminated against Black voters in Congressional redistricting, judges rule
The court-ordered map, used in the 2024 elections, resulted in Alabama electing two Black representatives to Congress for the first time in history.

Wondering today how each of Trump’s cabinet picks will feel if they realize he, as a Russian asset, picked them for their ineptitude.

To put things in context: Three weeks ago, it felt like every institution was folding. Like nobody was standing up except the American people, like we were calling our representatives and nothing was happening.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but if there is NEW evidence that would change a determination *already made by a judge*, the government needs to present it in that court and get the determination changed. Re-litigating a judge's determination based on old evidence on TV isn't due process

Exactly!
Look, I know that optimism isn't popular right now, but one way or another, by Trump breaking this system... he will strengthen it.
There's a long road of reform ahead of us & the collaborators who enabled him to break democracy must be expelled for that reform to occur.
But a reckoning IS coming.

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

In other words, when this is over, and it will end, schools that bowed the knee to Krasnov will pay. No student worth having will choose to attend a school that wouldn’t defend their right to learn and to speak their mind. Now is the time for action. History is watching.
Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

This was the purpose of the tariffs. Distract distract distract
Don't let Donald's tariff stupidity distract you from talking about the Signal security lapse at the Pentagon that put our troops in danger. The media may have forgotten about it, but the voters have not. And we can multitask our criticisms.

Much like the Nazis, post WWII, anything short of total annihilation of the GOP means we will continue this cycle ad infinitum.
The only way to rid ourselves of this scourge is for their policies to cause a complete collapse of our society. We’re getting close.

Just to clarify - America will be great again and it will be a golden age when there are no colleges and high school educated Americans jobs are to screw the little screws in iPhones. Got it. Sounds like a Utopia.
