Alright, so I've been afraid to say this out loud, but I think after today, I can say it: In the first Battle of Los Angeles, the good people of LA County have prevailed. We beat ICE back. 1/
"Leadership is not about clinging to the old playbook. It’s about recognizing when the playbook needs to change." At @nydailynews.com, retired lieutenant commander Shamsul Haque, a 21-year veteran of the NYPD, endorses our campaign for Mayor.
A legal resistance led by a patchwork coalition of lawyers, public-interest groups, Democratic state attorneys general, and unions has frustrated Trump’s ambitions. @michaelscherer.bsky.social reports on the one anti-Trump resistance movement that’s actually working:
Or in the United States, Tuesday.
I know it's completely alien to their DNA, but man Democrats who go on "Face the Nation" could have some fun with this whole "say what you want, we won't edit it out" thing.
Ezra Klein is the David Brooks of his generation, as David Brooks is the David Broder of his.
They still haven't figured out what social media are. They don't consider a threat delivered via social media to be "real." It's just something the kids do.
the corollary to the absolutely true “one day, everyone will always have been against this” is that they’ll also never truly forgive you for being loud and right long before they were, unless you play along and pretend for them

Ezra Klein is the David Brooks of his generation, as David Brooks is the David Broder of his. Staying just 1/10 of a second behind conventional wisdom, pablum for the somnambulent.
When I see him in interviews I can't help thinking he needs an ear trumpet to complete his look.
For those posting ICE videos, please put the date and time. It’s always good to say it when you start filming: date, city/state, cross streets or like Jimmy’s Bar, 46th St. If you are posting and can add a date and location stamp on the video. Mejor. (Better)
🧵 An open letter to the US Open and USTA: Trump will attend the #USOpen as a guest of ROLEX. Yesterday, Trump declared 'WAR' on Chicago. The USTA has called for media censorship of dissent against Trump today. I played NCAA tennis many years ago and still play. Today I resign my #USTA membership.
YES, STOP NORMALIZING THIS. Thank you for your attention to this irresponsibility.
Ezra Klein is the David Brooks of his generation, as David Brooks is the David Broder of his.
No it's because the files show that Trump dropped a dime on Epstein out of some fit of pique, and they are trying to get ahead of the disclosure by spinning it as a sustained undercover operation.
To all those attending the US Open, you know what to do. Boo loudly, record footage, and share it EVERYWHERE.
NYC, time to do what we do best—telling this fascist to f*** off.
Today marks *1 year* since Israeli forces killed 26-year-old American Ayşenur Eygi. Her family has heard nothing from Biden & Trump admins, and Israel. State Dept. told us it has “no higher priority” than US citizens — but then referred us to Israel for info on Israel’s killing of the US citizen.
#USOpen USTA giving corporate media instructions to censor reality from the public. “Reality” can be kryptonite to the fascist illusion of strength & invincibility. Will corporate media comply? What lengths will they go? h/t to indy journalist @benrothenberg.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/benr...

Welcome to team sanity, Hawaii!
The next president can just rename it "The Ministry of Silly Walks."
They’re wearing Nazi helmets
it's truly so funny that the smartest tactic here would be a united front to bring together the whole spectrum of Mamdani haters into one coalition by deciding which of them should run and the other dropping out to endorse him but since they have no principles except personal victory, they won't
Anything by Saul Bass.
Leaning towards writing tomorrow's column on Trump's unlawful boat attack and Googled "boat attack illegal" and the top hits were from non-US news orgs like BBC and the Independent. The American media has gone completely brain dead, no longer chasing even the most obvious stories and angles
In fewer than five years, Bari Weiss managed to parlay her resignation as an NYT columnist into a massive platform on Substack and then into editorial control of CBS News--making a vast fortune along the way--all off the absurd claim she's being silenced. First ballot hall-of-fame grifter.
oh no
Welcome to CBS News with Bari Weiss; I’m Bari Weiss. The top story tonight is that my maverick opinions are being silenced by the woke left
No Kings Day in June: 5-6 million people 2,169 communities 27 countries The sequel is going to be even bigger.
throwing a TDAP booster into the cart with my COVID and flu shots for this weekend like a free gift with purchase I literally pulled up my vaccine history going back to the 90s and googled "how often" for every fucking thing on the list just to make sure RFK Jr doesn't take me out without a fight
Enough with the backroom scheming. If Trump is serious about intervening in the mayoral race, he should come to New York City and debate me directly.
They are privatizing Medicare, which means they will profit off denial of coverage. Say no to the GOP or face loss of insurance.

Senate Democrats: DO NOT FUND the government when the current continuing resolution expires at the end of the month. SHUT IT DOWN unless DC is funded, the troops are withdrawn from our cities, elections are protected, the Epstein files are released in full... SHUT IT DOWN.
Thread… I’ve grown up in Chicagoland since the 1980s. As Trump plans to ransack our city & region with illegal military occupation, here are 3 facts he & most of corporate media won’t bother to address—because doing so would undermine Trump’s entire fascist narrative to enable autocratic rule. 1/5
It needs some prosecution. That'll refresh their memories.
Military officers need to be made to understand that there is no statute of limitations when it comes to executing illegal orders
what's interesting is that schmitt/hochman/whoever wrote this is aware enough of how foreign this is to the actual american experience that they have to include "continental europeans" into this category of legitimate americans
oh this is straightforward white nationalist agitprop
This is how they weasel out of paying. I worked for a guy like that.
Never forget this: Working people outnumber the billionaires and CEOs by a huge margin. If workers stand together, they will win. Solidarity.
big tech hasn't come up with anything paradigm-shifting and useful since the smartphone in 2008 and I'm tired of all the shit they keep shoving down our throats trying to recapture that high
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. filling an IV bag from a murky puddle near Trump National's sixth tee. "The president needs parameciums," he tells the assembled media. "It's the only treatment proven to work in real testing." His golf cart is piled high with dozens of dead birds.
Thank you on this labor day!!
This is how to cover this. NPR did a spot on the award and said nothing about 2020 and Giuliani’s lies.
Good news about the cutting-edge AI tools from the $3-trillion-dollar company.
They're planning an emergency. Okay.

Not gonna happen. People would post cat pictures and after they get a bunch of reposts, they change it to white supremacist propaganda. Mastodon has an edit button, because content moderation is crowdsourced.
If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.
Keep their voices alive.
This is a plan for ethnic cleansing. It’s morally horrific and absolutely insane

Bill Maher is a straight up Islamophobe.
I realize news outlets are sensitive about defamation lawsuits but this is a pretty clear case. He’s flatly lying about recent history if he says he’s not an anti-vaccine activist. There’s video!
Something historic is happening—and no surprise—corporate media is ignoring it Activists from 44 countries are sailing to Gaza as part of the Global Sumud Flotilla—history's largest civilian maritime mission to break Israel’s blockade. Here's how to get involved: www.qasimrashid.com/p/the-global...
no matter your politics it’s disrespectful to joke about someone’s death. don’t say rudy giuliani died from driving his car into a wall painted to look like a tunnel and all his clothes flew off in the crash and then a sixteen wheeler semi truck ran over his dick and balls. don’t say stuff like that
“My tweet is raising many questions about my health that are already answered in the tweet”
I am a pacifist. I don't believe in violence but I also believe that women should have swords. Like if you are a woman you should be provided a free sword should you want one
this should become a thing, putting up signs like this for every arrest & disappearance in public spaces. it would likely break into lower info, less politically engaged demos and local social media groups
An Israeli Official Was Arrested in Vegas For Trying to Have Sex With a Child: Why Was He Allowed to Flee to Israel? How come Trump, Republicans, Democrats & corporate media aren't covering the scandal of the summer? open.substack.com/pub/thelefth...
Rudy drinking would be a "dog bites man" story, so no.
Who cares? Tell us what the victims have to say
A quick reminder to stop making everything about race. Thanks.
Washington Post uncritically repeating Trump & Netanyahu’s plans to commit genocide and war crimes. Billionaire owned corporate media carrying water for genocidal fascists. Shame on all the politicians of both parties who continue to fund this genocide. Blood on your hands.
With the various Trump death conspiracies flying around, I feel like I am watching people sort of process in real time that they cant actually just post away the politics they don't like.
This is like an unhinged scream from people who want Trump gone and would sort of like to manifest it with takes rather than doing actual political work or activism.
50 people or so are gathered in a grassy area outside the Chevron on Hawthorne to protest the fossil fuel giant’s contribution to Israel’s genocide of Palestinians. Sign across the street also highlights the murder of journalists at the hands of the Israeli military last week.
See? Trump just went golfing!
or rather as other people have pointed out, the interesting things about english history at the time (brutal clampdowns on sedition, napoleonic war) are often elided in favor of really boring shit about rich people visiting each others' houses
If you say 'heteronormative' or 'unhoused person' or 'food insecurity' you're basically talking gibberish and nobody can understand you but if you say you can see inflammation in children at the airport and that vaccines lower IQ or that germs are a myth you get to fire all the scientists.
BREAKING: Bernie Sanders wants RFK Jr. under oath. He’s demanding a special Senate hearing on the CDC disaster RFK Jr. helped create. Go Bernie!
Trump is militarizing our streets to cover up his failing legitimacy: the tanking economy, the Epstein files, and his wildly unpopular ICE kidnappings. Read our Resistance Toolkit now at bit.ly/resistancetoolkit, and share it widely. LFG rebel alliance! #WeKeepUsSafe
This is the second judge in a week that has brought up the fact that the government can't be trusted with clear instructions - likely because the government ignored Judge Boasberg's order to turn the planes around last March saying "verbal orders from judges don't count."
I truly don't understand the evil calculation that you can throw trans people to the fascist mob & somehow prosper. You will never succeed in your cynical, too clever by half aims, you have already surrendered something essential. Imagine if the counteroffer to the Right was: nothing. Not one inch!
Who cares? Tell us what the victims said.
NEW: my office has received disturbing whistleblower reports that the Trump administration plans to separate 700 children from their families, lawyers, and support systems. Disappearing vulnerable children beyond the reach of American law and oversight is beyond depravity.
We tried to enlist them to help write reasonable gun laws, but they chose not to participate, so we're going to do it for them and they won't like the results.
Speaking of which, the only purpose of a question like this is to add to the panic. The problem of political intolerance is *extremely* concentrated on the American right and appears in every aspect of its policy agenda. Left-wingers being rude to their conservative uncles isn’t a real problem.
It won't be anything about Israel because the Democratic Party is a full-owned subsidiary of AIPAC.
What if people had taken that attitude with asbestos?
On one hand, reducing car use reduces urban pollution. But on the other, everyone likes it and cities become more livable
Also be aware that the networks are running old B roll of troops training up at the naval station; it's not ICE, and it's clearly winter. Not quite misinformation but not a great choice in this moment, either!
Learn to decipher the codespeak.
David Brooks is the David Broder of his generation, as Ezra Klein is the David Brooks of his. His MO is to stay 1/10 of a second *behind* conventional wisdom, so that people will read him and say "That's what I was just thinking! I must be as smart as David Brooks!"
beautiful
It *is* intimidating the public. That's the point.
Making them wear high-visibility vests over camo is such a good joke you couldn’t write it
