Once more for those who need it: Puerto Rico is in the U.S., Bad Bunny is a U.S. Citizen, the U.S. has the 2nd largest Spanish-speaking pop. in the world after Mexico, & the only difference between Bad Bunny performing excl in PR & Adele performing excl in Nevada is that Adele isn't a U.S. citizen.

Stop platforming and mainstreaming white mediocrity. And if you, as an interviewer, can't appropriately rise to the level necessary to interview the brilliant Ta-Nehisi Coates, then do not interview Ta-Nehisi Coates. THIS is how we thwart fascism, by not centering white mediocrity. @nytimes.com

Nothing says "warrior ethos" like loyalty oaths and snazzy new uniform guidelines to honor "the Führer." Get with the new world order or get fired or arrested and prosecuted for disloyalty.

The Brennan Center estimates that 6-7% of all U.S. adults, or 15-18 million U.S. citizens, have no access to the documents needed to prove their American citizenship. Because racism.

Yes. Though I would like to remind us all that our American governments have dropped bombs on Americans in American cities before, just not purposely on white Americans. Let’s be outraged, let’s shut down fascism, and let’s not forget that the white experience in this nation is only just coming 1/2

Mexico was just added to this list, yesterday. Trump cutting the U.S. off from the rest of the world should worry every American.
Now seems a great time to remind you that East Germany existed as a state w/ restricted borders for 41 years. 🧵1/4

As of today, the new ICE budget is half the annual military budget of China—the second largest military spender in the world. The ICE budget is now higher than the annual budget of every other military in the world (including Russia.)
And that should terrify us all.

You haven't seen fury like the fury of U.S. military brats born abroad on U.S. military bases who just witnessed one of their own deported. Our State Dept gave him a U.S. birth certificate and a passport—otherwise, he couldn't have returned Stateside as a child with his U.S. military-serving father.

Happy Birthday to our @usarmy.bsky.social & our Soldiers. You deserve so much better than being marched through our Capital’s streets to provide a show of force that would make Russia & North Korea proud. Thank you for your 250 yrs of service to our nation. Love, a military brat born @ Landstuhl

I’m not planning to read this book. But if this book is true to form, then it would not be the first time I’ve wondered why mediocre men do so well in this nation when reading something Jake Tapper has written.

Patel's arrest of Judge Dugan is designed to intimidate American judges into complying with Trump.
Separation of Powers isn't a platitude. It is a Constitutional necessity. Stand strong.

They lied. And still they are lying.
Tulsi Gabbard, the DNI; Pete Hegseth, the SecDef; and John Ratcliffe, Dir of CIA have all been caught in lies—the latter by one of his own people.

An attorney at #SkaddenArps in #Chicago gave conditional notice of resignation yesterday—brilliant. Now is the time to stand up & say "we will not give in to authoritarianism." Rachel A. Cohen is what Moral Leadership looks like.

It's been 4 days since my last post because the impending collapse of the U.S. has escalated so quickly with Russia being welcomed inside our Oval Office and systems, that balancing work, life, & the newscycle required a bluesky break.
Fuck Trump & Putin.
