There's always been a fight over the true story of America. I believe deeply in the story that says we’re all created equal, and that if we can treat each other with decency and respect, all of us will be better off.

I talk about this and more on the final episode of WTF with Marc Maron. Watch now:

Any policing agency that feels compelled to hide their identities does so because they have ZERO intention of following the laws of the people that pay their salaries.

A government that targets citizens against fascism and dictatorships, isn’t a government worth keeping.

This deserves more attention. North Carolina wiped out $6.5 Billion in medical debt for 2.5 million residents. Less than 1/3 of what we paid to bail out Argentina.

The case before the Supreme Court is called Louisiana v. Callais, a redistricting dispute that has become a major test of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 (VRA), the landmark civil rights law designed to protect Black Americans and other minorities from being shut out of political representation.

New in PN: The 1,287,923 defects in the Comey case ... so far

"Dismissal is probably the best result for the government, since it would spare the DOJ having its dirty laundry aired in court before getting spanked for having brought such a garbage case. But even so, it'd be very, very funny."

The 1,287,923 defects in the Comey case ... so far

It's been 22 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona's seventh congressional district to represent them in Congress.

Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in. At what point will political reporters start calling this a constitutional crisis?

I believe the south side Chicago building was “full of Tren de Aragua gang members” about as much as I believe the Venezuelan boats are filled with “narcoterrotists”.

The regime will say anything to justify unreasonable, and even lethal, force.

50501: The People’s Movement ❌👑 @50501movement.bsky.social · 8h

The secret power of a people’s movement is that it’s random.

It’s neighbors protecting immigrants from ICE. It’s millions canceling Disney+. It’s a man throwing a sandwich. It’s inflatable frogs dancing.

Dictators struggle to fight a movement, because they can’t do what they want most—control us.
