I am self-employed. Obamacare is how I get insured. My rates doubled this year. DOUBLED. Does our government believe that only people who work for corporations should be allowed to live?

Great work by NYT showing Trump's war is the most unpopular ever. Supports my argument (see below) that in some ways the public rejection of Trump across the board is a very heartening development:

I really think that some of you don't understand this country at all. Folks, 41% support is extremely LOW for a war led by this country. I ask you to right-size your expectations. This is a country that almost ALWAYS supports wars in the majority when they are launched.

The Unbelievable Madness of Our War With Iran Last year, I warned about the possibility that Israel might drag the United States into a regional conflict. What’s happening now is worse than I could have ever imagined.

Leaders around the world appear to be struggling to respond to an American administration that is no longer constrained by pretending to care about human lives, the law, or the cost of its hubris. trib.al/TNOqWQK

By analyzing records obtained by @deportationdata.org, I found that the total number of people who have experienced ICE detention in the first 9 months of the Trump admin amounts to the population of a mid-sized city.

I’ve been photographing anti-ICE and related yard/window/tree/street signs around Minneapolis. The variety of commercial and especially handmade signs is amazing, as is the urge for people to let their neighbors know they care and are furious in ways big and small. Batch #5

Insurrectionist Brunch: Trumpists plotted to deploy military on U.S. soil Before the 2024 election, a cadre of MAGA loyalists met over brunch to plot ways for Trump to use the military domestically.

This is just astonishingly great reporting.

All of the crises the White House has claimed over the last 14 months were planned in advance. All of them.

And however much contempt you have for media outlets who reverently relayed Trump's claim to have no relation to Project 2025, it isn't enough.

In a black and white photo taken by Steve Schapiro, James Baldwin danced “the hitchhike" with CORE worker Doris Castle, New Orleans, 1963.

Today’s small victory: Looked at an inventory of still photos of James Baldwin and learned that I correctly identified the #60s dance (the “Hitchhike”) he was doing in a photo I created metadata for two years ago. Yes, I have knowledge of popular 1960s dances for some reason lol 😆 #photography

I talked to dozens of experts in government, academia, cybersecurity, and industry about exactly this scenario last year and not only did not one of them think I was being alarmist, many brought it up unprompted and many said there was zero chance it hadn’t already happened

When you learn how hard it is to get people to come to three consecutive organizing meetings, you tend to spout off less about things.

Im Vordergrund stehen Schneeglöckchen mit weißen, glockenförmigen Blüten und schmalen, grünen Blättern. Daneben blühen zahlreiche Krokusse mit violetten Blütenblättern und leuchtend gelben Staubgefäßen. Das Sonnenlicht hebt die Farben der Blüten hervor, während der Hintergrund aus weiteren grünen Blättern und unscharfen Blüten besteht.
