@npr.org when speaking of the No Kings rallies and protests today, why do you feel the need to amplify the voices of those thinking that these peaceful gatherings are a threat, or violent, or any of the crap they’re saying?!?! Why give this view such extensive space on your platform? 🤔

@jonlovett.bsky.social on the last episode of PSA, you casually referred to Democrats being in power again at some point. What makes you think so? That is a grand assumption.

He has grown so much to do the right thing! Those politicians who visit anywhere near Gaza go for a photo op. He and senator Merkley actually stayed and learned and made videos to teach everyone about what they were seeing and witnessing! I personally couldn’t be so proud of my senator. 🇵🇸🍉

A friend shared this photo with me and the person who took it gave me permission to post.

This was yesterday on the W. Gude overpass over 270.

It was well-received and got many honks. (Thursday, September 11 - Rockville, MD)

An overpass protest. The main sign says, “Unity Peace” with a heart and an American flag.

@qasimrashid.com I finished your conversation with N Paro and L Winnerman. Chattel slavery was ended, but slavery has not ended in US. I’m sure you know this. Some regular prisons treat their inmates as slaves, but now the detention centers do as well w/immigrants. Profit making for the owners.

Career public defender, who is taking payments from the Democratic Party to pass on their propaganda. Shame! You can and should do better.

I’m just a professional who protests at least 4 days a week for the issues I care about, the people I care about, and my mental health. I don’t have the capacity to deal w/ any of that. I don’t see that it matters. We showed up. We got support. I do want to pass out flyers w action items next time

Over 100 of us got together in front of the office of Palantir in Georgetown, Wash DC today to call for the defunding of this org due to its surveillance & deportation, & otherwise surveilling our private data, among many other things. There was a tremendous amount of support from passersby.

Epstein survivor Sarah Ransome on Ghislaine Maxwell: “It makes me sick that she is claiming to be a victim. This is the same woman that grabbed my arm and forced me into a room to be raped by Jeffrey. She had this evil smirk on her face. And she enjoyed it.”

It's really weird to demand accountability from a NYC mayoral candidate for a deadly NYC shooting rather than the current NYC mayor, an ex-cop who campaigned on a "tough on crime" platform and promptly got indicted for crimes

Wall Street Journal headline and deck: "New York Shooting Puts Mamdani on the Spot Over Policing Views: The killing of four people in a Midtown office building rattled a city where mass attacks are rare and violent crime has declined."
