America is beautiful, contradictory, unfinished. I am proud of our country even as we constantly strive to make it better, to protect and deepen our democracy, to fulfill its promise for each and every person who calls it home.
Happy Independence Day. No Kings in America.

To everyone conflicted about celebrating today:
The Stars and Stripes stands for the ideals of this country: freedom, equality, justice, etc.
NOT the president.
NOT Congress.
NOT the Supreme Court.
Keep waving that flag. Don't surrender our symbols and patriotism to MAGA.

Why do we support Israel again? We wouldn't tolerate any of our other allies indiscriminately bombing civilians, but Israel gets a pass for some reason?
It's long since time we cut off aid, intelligence sharing, and even diplomatic relations.

Ya know what is weird? The fact that we bombed a country on behalf of Israel will be lost in the news cycle in ten minutes.
Block me if you must, but Bibi and friends do not represent Jews. They represent the Israeli government. The way The US blindly backs Israel in all decisions is insane.

Where are all the Americans these workers were supposedly stealing jobs from?
“Zavala said orchards that typically host 100 or 120 pickers were finding that only 20 or 30 workers would show up.”

Washington cherry growers struggle to find pickers
The threat of federal agents raiding orchards is forcing a labor shortage that has caused some Washington producers to leave cherries unpicked or delay their harvests until fruit gets over ripe, which...

I'm looking forward to the next generation of Indiana Jones movies, in which AI Harrison Ford squares off against ICE agents in red hats.
Nazis -> Commies -> MAGAts
It would be a nice way to bring the franchise full circle.

“A protest is an invitation to a better world … No one accepts a ceremonial invitation when they’re being screamed at.”
Our fight against fascism is just, now is the time to be strategic. We need the people on our side.

I agree. Let’s own this flag: 🇺🇸
I get the impulse to bring the Mexican flag to protests in LA tonight. But the optics for those who love democracy are 100%+ better if every protester is waving an American flag.
There needs to be at least some strategy here, given that Trump’s whole thing is falsely claiming a “foreign invasion.”

If Walmart "eats the tariffs", then neither American consumers nor Chinese manufacturers feel any pain. We still buy the same amount of the foreign goods, and the trade "deficit" stays the same. How does this accomplish any of Trump's goals? Is this just a sneaky way to increase taxes on Walmart?

Tariffs don't just raise the price of the foreign goods they target. The price level of domestic equivalents also rises. Demand for domestic goods increases, and to meet that demand, resources are shifted away from more efficient uses.

I have a massive personal trade deficit with my dentist so I'm going to start charging myself 40% more for all procedures until I learn how to domestically drill my own teeth.

If they get away with revoking one green card unlawfully, it won't be the last.
These people came here legally. They waited their turn. They went through the process. In-person meetings, medical screening, all of it.
We welcomed them into our country. It's our moral duty to stand up for them now.

If illegal immigrants and their children are not "subject to the jurisdiction" of the US, then on what authority does law enforcement detain, arrest, or deport them?

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.
