I'm really glad to see someone like Kelly finally saying this. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Mark Kelly: "This president, when he says things like 'third world countries,' what is he really saying? I think what he's saying is he doesn't want brown people in our country. And that's disturbing. It's un-American."

The Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas and nooses as hate symbols.

This action, coupled with the President's call to hang Democratic members of Congress - both in the past few hrs - are more than "potentially divisive."

They are vile, unconscionable, and dangerous.

AOC to @pabloreports.bsky.social : A swastika is one of the clearest symbols of hatred in all of humanity… to remove that designation… indicates a possible collaboration with those very elements, which I think is genuinely frightening to any American.

70% of Americans disapprove of this administration’s handling of healthcare. Cutting ACA subsidies is not the solution.

This is the time to make the case and build a broad coalition for Medicare tor All.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

“The boat strikes constitute murder,” Eugene R. Fidell told me. He used to be a JAG in the Coast Guard and is now at Yale Law School. The entire operation amounts to “treating the world as a free-fire zone,” he said.

ICE agents violently tackled a father and his teenage son on their way to school—sending the 16-year-old, a U.S. citizen and star athlete, to the hospital with back and neck injuries.

“I was just going to school,” he cried. “I’m underage!”

This calls to mind Lizabeth Cohen’s MAKING A NEW DEAL: INDUSTRIAL WORKERS IN CHICAGO, 1919-1939, which demonstrates that voluntarism and charity were insufficient when things got tough and that working people turned to the state, which proved far more effective.

A blaring red warning signal for the rule of law; a President declaring “we’re just gonna kill people” without a trial or even a shred of due process.
Trump: "I don't think we're necessarily going to ask for a declaration of war, I think we're just gonna kill people that are bringing drugs into our country. We're going to kill them. They're going to be, like dead."
