250 years ago, Americans rejected the rule of a mad king.

Marine veterans are speaking out against the troop deployment in Los Angeles. Across the country, they’re taking down their American flags that have flown in front of their homes for years. Remember, we have friends everywhere.

I would say ABC should be ashamed of themselves but I spent enough to time in TV to know networks have no shame. What they have are shareholders & corporate owners. We have a POTUS who refers to a Governor as ‘Newscum’ and it gets accepted by news orgs but calling out evil isn’t.

I’m pretty sure Greta Thunberg didn’t sail all the way to the Middle East to visit Gaza for a photo op.

I’ll tell you why, she is one of the very few people who represents the best in us.

If you can’t see the humanity in this, perhaps you aren’t human.

Trump didn’t just silence Voice of America—he replaced it with OANN, the same network whose host fantasized on air about executing election “traitors.” Now broadcasting to 350 million worldwide, this is what authoritarian media capture looks like.

For 15 years I have been doing fieldwork in a KwaZulu-Natal village outside of Pietermaritzburg.

It is surrounded by sugar farms, all of which are owned by white farmers.

The very poor village residents get temp work there to harvest the sugar cane for tiny wages. That's the truth of land in SA.

It's remarkable how much of this administration's agenda has been laser focused on simply making life worse for ordinary Americans.

There is no “historical myth” about birthright citizenship. The 14th Amendment, affirmed by SCOTUS in 1898, is clear. Thank you, @hcrichardson.bsky.social for setting the record straight in light of 🍊🤡 deporting US citizen children.

If you think a just-fertilized ovary is entitled to life but are indifferent to what happens to a kidnapped 4-year-old with cancer,sent to a dangerous country without meds, you don’t give a fuck about the lives of children. You are just in a cult that fetishizes being against abortions.

Let’s be clear. Trump's arrest of Judge Dugan in Milwaukee has nothing to do with immigration.

This latest attack is about one thing: unchecked power.

It is time for my colleagues in the Republican Party to stand up to his growing authoritarianism.

Just spoke with my CDC sources. They were in tears.

Budgets cut. RFJK has ordered them not to publicize bird flu symptoms in exposed workers. Not to test them. Not to speak.

They know people are getting sick. And they’re being forced to stay silent.

This is not just a cover-up. It's cruelty.
