I've honestly been astounded. This is how a movement forms. Been 3D printing whistles, ICE watching, recruiting for No Kings. Something seems palpably different.

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.

This is truly terrifying.

I think his floor is more 32% - kind of what we saw during J6. Trump is a master of using his 40-45% support to rule. That's the enigma of Trumpism. I think the GOP could realistically keep the trifecta next year. I don't like Enten, but this feels a bit like shooting the messenger.

I'm really hoping for 200K+. I think the 75K estimate was accurate from June, I want to triple the number of people out. We just need 5 Wrigley Fields worth of people to defend democracy and our City.

I think the Wisdom literature is the hardest to translate because they started drawing on a growing international body of philosophical writings related to wisdom that makes the context and terms harder to pin down.

Props to @katmabu.bsky.social for speaking today and fighting for justice for all.

Truth in the foreground, fascist snipers in the background protecting ICE Barbie and allowing her to violate the 4th Amendment at will.

We need more people at Broadview!

Physics Guy @physicsglitch.bsky.social · 13d

I'll be there tomorrow!

ICE agents have been abducting our neighbors, brutalizing protesters, and operating with impunity. Tomorrow I will be speaking alongside other local leaders at 1930 Beach St in Broadview, IL. Tell your elected officials to take a stand alongside us.

It is only a matter of time before the Gen Z protests hit America. Starting to see the first One Piece flags at protests in Chicago. Africa and Asia are ablaze.

@adriancarrasquillo.bsky.social, @thebulwark.com, @jvl.bsky.social - I'd love for someone on your team to get ahead of this story.

Gen Z-led protests in two diverse African countries highlight frustration over years of poor governance. Fueled by social media, these youth movements are demanding accountability.

People don't understand the Ivy League right wing nihilism at the heart of this admin. Vance, Hegseth, Miller are all book smart, but they never fit in at Yale, Princeton or Duke. It produces extreme vindictiveness from character defects arising out of deep insecurities. They lack real wisdom

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it?

If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say?

Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

Is there a way to give to Democratic candidates without going through ActBlue? I loathe all their manipulative tricks to get you to donate more. The entire organization makes my skin crawl, but I still want to support good candidates.

While he doesn’t think that ideology represents everyone in the opposing party, there is “a little base of it, in the Republican party, . . . of white nationalism.”

They can't even fire Jimmy Kimmel so I doubt a military purge is going to happen next week. Do I think they might try a Bolsanaro type coup? Absolutely. But right now? Very doubtful. We must be vigilante, but lets not allow that vigilance to over-inflate the power of these buffoons.

No really, it all changes next week. The Trump Regime is making its move.
