Nothing more discomfiting than federal agents circling your grocery store parking lot to try and snatch people. Since when did federal agents kidnapping people off the street become a normal course of action. It happened in my community; it's happening in MN. Coming to your neighborhood soon.

Very true. But also, not everything needs to happen instantaneously and not everyone needs to do everything. Time to organize, folx. Time to act.

David French argued Renee Good's murder is an example of the US having two sytems of law: orderly for friends & belligerent for foes. @victorerikray.bsky.social corrects him: US law has always promised fascism for non-whites & those who stand with them. groupthreat.com/p/americas-d...

This is dystopian… and not just because they’re dressed like a scene from the handmaids tale. These are mostly children. This is where Liam Ramos is being held. They’re screaming “let us out” and protesting the brutal conditions. These kids are braver than every ICE thug holding them hostages

He sounds like a beautiful person. My heart breaks for his and others' families of those killed, in and out of detention, and those disappeared. So many people crushed under the boot of fascism.

Trying out Qobuz and Tidal. Liking Tidal but it keeps crashing when I open it. Qobuz doesn't have the album I listen to on repeat that I'm pretty sure isn't available in hard copy: Hiatus' Ghost Notes. If I get Tidal to work it may win by default on account of that.

If the US President never siced a federal agency on your city to round you or yours up, I'm gonna need you to sit down with your imaginary persecution complex. It's happened many times, but the ones always crying about seem to be the ones wearing the jackboots. Living through it feels surreal.

We are being traumatized. There is an intentional effort to overwhelm our senses with the senselessness. In Chicago, in Waco, in Palestine and in other places. There are those who believe they must hurt and dominate others to secure their place in the world. I do not believe that.

This moment is disturbing even in the mundane: I’ve started taking screenshots of historical sources I’m using in research from the national park service, the smithsonian, and the national archives, just in case they get taken down. It’s now a part of my process and takes time I have to plan for.

I am pleased to report that Hawaii Supreme Court Justice Todd Eddins has dropped another total evisceration of the Supreme Court. He says originalism is a fraud—and the Republican justices are shamelessly making up facts and history to impose radical Christian nationalism: slate.com/news-and-pol...
Justice Eddins went even further in a concurrence joined by two other justices. He flamed the U.S. Supreme Court for choosing to
"steamroll" the First Amendment's separation of church and state by mandating government support of religion. He wrote:
The federal wall cracks. The Supreme Court's recent religious clause cases wreck the relationship between free exercise and non-establishment.... The Roberts Court casually dismisses the lessons of American and world history, the warnings of prominent early Americans, and the judiciary's storied legal minds. Bad things happen unless government and religion are completely separated.
Justice Eddins also wrote about something you and I have been talking about for a long time, which is the conservative supermajority making up facts. He called out Kennedy v.
Bremerton, the notorious "praying coach" case, writing: "As it often does, the Court repackaged and whitewashed facts to achieve a desired outcome." This is the same point that Sherrilyn Ifill has made on the show about how the record in that case, and so many others, is ignored.

"Political violence" is a term that exists to suggest a moral distinction between "violence against politicians" and "violence by politicians" - so that one can be condemned while the other can be normalized. Obviously, no such distinction exists in reality: violence is violence.

The genocide that we are seeing in Gaza is not a passive act. It is being perpetrated by the Israeli government — and the United States, by sending them $30 BILLION of weapons since the start of this war, is complicit. This can end. This must end. Block the bombs.

I wish this was more shocking. The outright dehumanization of Palestinians and Arabs has become a terrible norm. It is an unconscionable and indefensible position. Each of these precious lives is a future and a possibility stolen from the world. To advocate for killing children is barbarism.

We are outraged and deeply distressed that armed federal agents came onto our campus—making arrests on the very ground where, in 1942, Japanese American families were forced to board buses bound for concentration camps. It was a deliberate act of provocation and intimidation.
