“The billionaire class has sought to convince those making $30-an-hour that their enemies are those earning $20-an-hour. They want the people to fight amongst ourselves so that we remain distracted from the work of remaking a long, broken system.”

Let's make this clear:
Just because we demand that our justice system continue to use DUE PROCESS does not mean that we support gangs or illegal activity.
But snatching people off the street and disappearing them without due process crosses the fucking line.

Millions of you, around the world, have put the lessons I wrote in #OnTyranny in late 2016 to good use. It has been humbling to learn how from courageous and creative dissenters, protestors, and oppositionists. I was honored when John Lithgow volunteered to read them aloud.
Here is my best guidance for action, rendered beautifully by the great John Lithgow. I first published these lessons more than eight years ago, in late 2016. They open the twenty chapters of "On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century."

I want you to understand this is happening in our name and we know most of these men committed no crimes. One is a professional soccer player who was tortured in Venezuela and was working through asylum in the U.S. ICE shipped him for his Real Madrid tattoo and a picture throwing rock & roll horns.

Good morning and Happy Saturday to everyone who agrees that it's time for EVERYONE to wake up to the hard, cold truth that the richest man on the planet does NOT give a fuck about us, he only cares about himself.

Good morning and Happy Sunday to everyone who knows that Democrats always grow the economy, and Republicans always fuck it up while only focusing on making the rich richer.

‘We learned the hard way’: Samoa remembers a deadly measles outbreak and a visit from RFK Jr
A few months before the outbreak in 2019, Kennedy travelled to Samoa and met with anti-vaccine figures, contributing to what health experts claim was a ‘significant disinformation campaign’

Republicans claim to be “the party of law and order,” but in reality they are the party of unlawful disorder and hypocrisy.
Watching MAGA Republican elites go after Sen. Murkowski, who refuses to vote for Trump nominees unless they are vetted by the FBI clearly shows how low they’re willing to go.
