This was the plan the entire time and it was always going to be targeted towards Democratic run cities. It’s not about law and order. It’s about controlling by force the areas where Trump does not control by ideology.

Sources said that even at the start of his second term, Trump was discussing with multiple advisers where & when it would make sense to send in federal troops, either for supposed crime control or in response to larger-scale public activism against his agenda. 🔗 www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

The Fault Lines in Our Constitution should be read by every single adult who lives in America. And then we need to meet in small book clubs to discuss it. With cookies. And soothing beverages. This book is EVERYTHING. @msnbc.com @velshimsnbc.bsky.social @velshi.com

3rd editions rarely get reviewed. But Booklist gave #FAULTLINESINTHECONSTITUTION a star! "The Levinsons prove once again that an examination of the Constitution is always timely and relevant." @PeachtreePub #Constitution #ConstitutionalCrisis #kidlit www.booklistonline.com/products/980...

Periodic reminder that there is nothing you can give the far right that will satisfy them. Remove a right, they’ll go after another. Attack a minority, they’ll want worse attacks and find new groups to attack. There’s no end to the authoritarianism. Just more, and worse, until everyone’s crushed.

FIFA and the IOC should start making noises now about moving the World Cup in 2026 and the Olympics in 2028. If other countries cannot send their athletes & fans into the US without fear for their safety, we are not fit to host international sporting events.

Heard multiple reports of Canadians being asked at US custom desks in 🇨🇦 airports what they think of the current USA administration. Those who responded w mild comments like "glad it is not the same here" were refused entry and banned from entering the 🇺🇸 for 5 years.

Attn: Trump stated, “THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO GET RICH, RICHER THAN EVER BEFORE!!!” Many have interpreted this as an indication that he or his allies are using knowledge of tariffs for personal financial gain. This raises serious concerns about insider trading and market manipulation.

I’m at the Hands Off rally fighting for our democracy and freedom. I’m a student of history and know that dictatorships target the neurodivergent and disabled first. Stories are how we fight back for our dignity and humanity. #neurodiverse

If you think what happened to Rumeysa Ozturk can't happen to you because you're a citizen and she's not, you are sorely mistaken. Ozturk was snatched off the street not for being a national security threat but for having a wrong opinion. If we don't put a stop to this, it's coming for all of us.

If Trump can disappear green card holders for protesting war, he can disappear you. If he can disappear visa holders for criticizing him, he can disappear you. If he can disappear asylum seekers for tattoos, he can disappear you. We must speak out now — before there is no one left to speak out.

Also on this list and from @enchantedlion.bsky.social is my translation of Our Beautiful Darkness, the first book for young readers translated into English by the acclaimed Angolan author Ondjaki, with luminous illustrations by António Jorge Gonçalves. Congratulations, Lawrence! Great company!
