According to the Times, Glass's symphony is based on Lincoln's 1838 Lyceum Address.

In that speech, the 28yo Lincoln warned of the threats to American democracy both from above - the rise of an American Caesar - and from below - the mob.

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

Living in America is a nightmare when you're an immigrant. This is no longer the land of the free. There is no more humanity

Rest in power #ReneeGood and #AlexPretti who were murdered by the dictator president and his lying sack of sh*t goons. Blood on their hands - every single one of them 💢

I wish Democrats would start just speaking the truth:

“ICE is killing American citizens in public for exercising their freedom of speech because Donald Trump wants to be a king.

This isn’t about immigration—Trump wants to make it illegal to oppose him, and to stay in power until he dies.”

National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation.

Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.

The EEOC has just voted 2-1 to remove the entirety of its employer guidance on sexual harassment because portions of it protected trans people.

This administration is pro sexual harassment while simultaneously claiming they protect women.

Reporting from Minneapolis, Assigned's own @alyssaur.bsky.social with a powerful piece.

She writes of the fear of living in a city under seige, of how Renee Good's queerness is being downplayed in legacy media, and of how the queer and trans people are rising up despite the terror.

The queer community of Minneapolis is dealing with the loss of one of their own as well as seeing their city under seige.

Jack Smith was so correct when he said that Americans have taken the rule of law for granted for too long.

When you choose a 34 convicted felon who incited a coup & stole classified documents, you aren’t choosing a safe country protected by laws & constitution.

Fuck #DonaldTrump. It's been the most exhausting year under his fascist racist Nazi regime

Also fuck every single person in his cabinet and administration, including the enablers in congress.

And sincerely fuck every single a-hole who voted for this sh*t #NaziSympathizers

Hi folks, I'm seeing a lot of "Eyes on Minneapolis" & "We support Minnesota" sentiment. Here's a tangible way you can help:

Trump just suspended federal funding for SNAP benefits to Minnesota. Second Harvest Heartland is an MN-based hunger-relief org.

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports.

And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.”

Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

Let's be clear. Donald Trump will indict the Fed Chair, kidnap foreign leaders and kill American citizens in MN if it distracts you from asking WTF is in the Epstein files because HIS BASE doesn't like pedophiles. None of this is normal. But everything he does is from weakness right now.
