Upwards of 200,00 people may have lost their jobs today; or will in the upcoming days. There is a palpable sense of fear among the Haitian community right now. They need your support.

My Haitian friend was just fired from his job. "They said I don't have a legal status now." This is likely happening to hundreds of thousands of people across this country today. Sick.

Centrists are addicted to comfort. The notion that they'd have to do something differently-- to be inconvenienced in any meaningful way-- is a direct threat to their comfort. This is why they're all so casual about the tide of fascism washing over everything: They're certain *they'll* be fine.

Just 10 billionaires have already poured over $600 MILLION into this year's midterms. In the entire 2008 presidential cycle, the last election before Citizens United, total billionaire spending was $16 million. If you're wondering what the real threat to "election integrity" is, it's Big Money.

I would rather not valorize this, as we need other folks to protest and keep the military out of politics. The regulation is the right thing. I would rather have mil folks disobey illegal orders.

People who are unfamiliar with the UCMJ may not realize that for an active duty major to do this in uniform, the consequence can be court martial and incarceration. All of it is prohibited, but the wearing of the uniform was an intentional choice, and a likely forfeit of both his career and freedom.

"The [Supreme] court’s decision threatens to transform Springfield into ground zero for what some legal scholars are calling the first mass 'de-documentation' of immigrants in modern American history."

Kathleen Bachynski@bachynski.bsky.social · last mo.

Springfield, a city including more than 10,000 Haitians, “could become the target of a major enforcement operation. American residents are preparing to protect Haitians, with some making plans to care for their Haitian neighbors’ native-born children & even to hide and shelter immigrants who remain”

That the Supreme Court has ruled the president can without cause fire officials in myriad departments and effectively destroy our civil service -- but cannot fuck with a Federal Reserve boardmember -- says it all. Fuck over the people and how they are serviced? Cool. Fuck with the money? Hell no.

You do it because it's right, and because not taking it turns you into something you don't want to be. If all you care about is raw power, you're Susan Collins or Mitch McConnell.

I have faith he will win. People are tired of taking the high ground it’s gotten us nowhere. I would rather have an imperfect person with great policies than a super shiny perfect person who will just do the status quo. Enough!

🚨🚨 Huge breaking news from Brussels: Hungary has lifted its two-year-long veto on Ukraine's EU accession. Ukraine and Moldova will soon be able to open the first cluster of the accession process. The saga is over.

Alabama case came out exactly as predicted. No one should be shocked or surprised. This is a completely corrupt and broken Supreme Court that literally went against its own reasoning to promote a rigged, racist map in Alabama to help Republicans. Reform the Court or democracy dies.
