Did Trump just not find the time to declare Juneteenth NOT a federal holiday, or…?

This crisis in Iran is entirely because of Trump's shitty leadership. They stopped installing centrifuges until Trump ripped up the deal Iran made with President Obama—simply out of spite. Now he's barreling toward another poorly planned conflict in the Middle East. Dumb, dumb, dumb.

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops. I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Remind you of anyone?

Democrat Lawmakers… Start going into the offices of EVERY GOVERNMENT AGENCY… DEMAND TO MEET WITH ANY REPRESENTATIVES FROM DOGE IN THOSE OFFICES. DEMAND THEY IDENTIFY THEMSELVES. PUBLISH THEIR NAMES. IF THEY REFUSE TO IDENTIFY THEMSELVES, POST THEIR PICTURE AND WE’LL IDENTIFY THEM.

In the U.S., one can use traditional Catsup and the invented word Ketchup interchangeably. You can thank marketing (and Heinz, specifically). In the U.S., one can use the name Donald Trump and the title President interchangeably. You can thank an oligarchical system (and Elon Musk, specifically).

Indeed. When they rounded up the Japanese Americans, myself and my family included, for internment during WWII out of fear over Japanese spies and saboteurs, two thirds of us were U.S. citizens. Don’t think it won’t happen again when they come for the “undocumented.”

Post from Latino pollster Mike Madrid:

“Doing some research for an upcoming article on the last “mass deportation” of Mexicans during the 1930’s.

Over half of those deported were US citizens.”

B.S. 1) It is impossible to pull one’s self up by one’s own bootstraps 2) We did everything we could to ensure formerly-enslaved people possessed nothing, including boots. 3) When talented freedmen became politically dangerous to entrenched whites, we incarcerated them and leased them as “laborers”

As the GOP’s arguments about slavery show, meritocracy, taken to its logical extremes, ends up functioning as an apology for cruelty, violence, and hate

Might be past time to recognize that there’s an international authoritarian movement and that all these close calls in elections will turn into disastrous, tragic losses unless people start addressing the underlying conditions that got us here.

Once Bluesky allows open signups, we'll see a massive horde of nazis and antiblack reply trolls descending on this app. I see very little in terms of readiness and attitudes of the Bluesky staff, the technology, or the tooling made available to users or instance admins for this scale of onslaught.

I think we should listen to @elienyc.bsky.social about a higher standard in practice, in the law and online through community and site management action. He is right - the law is not settled and we are not done with the fight.

If we can’t find the political power to pay teachers enough, subsidizing home ownership is a start. It can’t be the end. Educators perform perhaps the most under-valued work in the US.

I just want a site for all my marginalized and harassed friends to feel safe. BlueSky seems to be the best hope, so far. I know trust, safety, and all the work required to fulfill those promises is hard work. BlueSky should invest more in this (relative to stability and features) than other sites.

Some people genuinely struggle to comprehend just how horrifying qualified immunity is in practice. People want to believe it's about split-second, lives-at-stake, no-good-options decisions by police officers. Their minds refuse to believe the kind of facts routinely blessed by district courts.
