To all of the lovely Palestinian people asking me for help, I’m sorry for not responding individually. I donate to @wck.org regularly along with organizations supporting mother/baby needs. My heart is with you all.

I saw these in Perdido Key once and ran home to look them up to try to figure out what they were because I didn’t know if they would sting me. So cool.

Huge credit to @ivehaditpodcast.bsky.social for getting this interview and truly making the most of it. A genuine public service. Every single politician should be held to this kind of standard. Every journalist who gets access should ask questions and followups like this.

"I think the Democratic base feels like there is a disconnect. We hear you, when you did your 25-hour speech, I was like go Cory, I love this, that is amazing.

And then there's a photo shoot with you with Benjamin Netanyahu, and I was just like, what in the actual fuck? It was heartbreaking."

Is there another time in American history where a state of emergency was declared in response to federal action?

you’re missing the point: you, yes, you, reading this right now, can march up the steps and kick the fucking door in if you’re willing to do the work. you can be “local democratic operations”.

If only those local Democratic operations would target their currently energized base instead of the imaginary swing voting Baileys of Massapequa

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

A musician, Oriana Korol, was peacefully playing clarinet with her protest band outside ICE facilities in Portland, OR.

When the band started playing “Ghostbusters,” ICE thugs suddenly poured outside, slammed her into the mud, arrested her and took her to a jail 9 miles away in Vancouver, WA.
