The President of the United States just called for my arrest and execution.

In these moments, fear is contagious, but so is courage:

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.

If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Hey Democratic Senators, the 2010s called and they want their messaging back. This isn't Paul Ryan or John Boehner anymore.

79. American citizen.

Over the weekend, we wrote about how dozens of judges have found ICE's new detention policy — seeking to lock up millions of people facing deportation without a chance for bond — is illegal.

Last night, four more judges added to the growing list: www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

I will donate $50 to the charity of your choosing if you can produce a single example of the New York Times telling a source they can't be quoted because they are "too dishonest."

Offer is open to NYT employees, btw!

This is really good and makes a powerful argument for why, and how, Democrats in Congress can put the brakes on the madness. If they don't, they are even more lazy and corrupt than I thought they were.

"The playbook here is similar to the right wing’s caricature of the “woke mob,” except that the right-wing mob has the full backing of state and federal governments." An important read.

Unlike what some of his obituaries claim, Charlie Kirk was "not a champion of free speech," says @jeffsharlet.bsky.social, who details Kirk's support for McCarthyist censorship.

If I have any credibility with you from 20 years of reporting on rightwing & fascist movements, please listen when I beg you not to celebrate Charlie Kirk getting shot. Leave aside morality: this isn’t a match in dry grass, it’s a torch. We do not want what this could ignite & we would not win.

Just making sure my reps @markwarner.bsky.social and @kaine.senate.gov see this.

Just remember all this if there is a catastrophic intelligence failure under this administration. Because they will *immediately* try to crush dissent and offload blame.

"Endless Trauma": Israeli Strikes Shatter Gaza Ceasefire as Blockade Starves Palestinian Population

What. Is. This. Garbage.

Jonathan Martin writing a Politico feature about Rahm Emanuel wanting to run for president ... it's a nesting doll of several circles of hell for me.

Mike's journalism speaks to my inner ethnographer's heart. He listens, listens, listens and learns and covers the real democratic change happening in sometimes small corners of our world. Consequential change, by working people for working people. Consider donating. #Ethnography #Labor

I came to this platform determined to cultivate an easy breezy feed of local joyful meaningful community. But here I am following a growing number of clear-eyed smart people to help guide me through the darkening hellscape of the American polity. Just followed a few here, thanks @truthout.org.
