Trump's plans for giant detention camps, a new Muslim ban and mass expulsions of millions is a test. Trump and Stephen Miller are testing the public's willingness to accept an agenda built on white nationalist sadism. Dems need to make the stakes clear. Free link: wapo.st/3FWshSD

The 10 freeway is shut down in both directions for about two miles near downtown LA. But aware and forewarned.

just thinking about how the collapse of twitter wouldn't be quite as devastating for all kinds of artists if we hadn't already lost so much else to grotesque capitalism, from blogs to alt-weeklies to every kind of local news under the goddamn sun to the arts sections in the still-existing media

Trump’s first post since news broke this morning of his sister’s passing. You can see how torn up he is.

I’m so sick of all these demons.
"In a world where Trump hadn’t been the vehicle for conservatives to capture the courts, America First’s efforts might be viewed as quixotic, a set of right-wing obsessions going nowhere. But now, Miller has a whole host of judges who share his views, and America First Legal keeps racking up wins."
Stephen Miller's "America First Legal" is more dangerous than you thinkwww.publicnotice.co Miller is a clown. But his organization is racking up wins advancing a deeply reactionary agenda.

Hot tip: All the political orgs you care about are currently doing 2024 budgeting. If you've been waiting ~~until 2024~~ to get involved (or get back involved), get off the sidelines. Your donation matters most at this very minute -- October 2024 will be 11 months too late.

This is endgame. They're going to gerrymander their way to power and eventually strip us all of our voting rights. And this shit is enabled by everyone who continues voting these fascists into office for "taxes".
What the everloving fuck. Writing about this in the newsletter today but I had to share now: Ohio Republicans say that "to prevent mischief by pro-abortion courts with Issue 1, Ohio legislators will consider removing jurisdiction from the judiciary." ohiohouse.gov/news/republi...

What's frightening is that he absolutely WILL do it. At first he'll encourage his cult to do & give them pardons. You thought Kyle Rittenhouse was bad? Imagine hundreds, if not thousands of him. An army of disgruntled white dudes who spent a shitton of money on guns and ammo they're itching to use
Trump says he's going after "radical left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country." That kind of rhetoric has preceded every genocide in history. Am I saying Trump is planning a genocide? No. But don't be surprised when the brownshirt violence starts.
Trump Takes Veterans Day Speech in a Very Different Directionwww.nytimes.com The former president said that threats from abroad were less concerning than liberal “threats from within” and that he was a “very proud election denier.”

It's so obvious whose side the NYT is on.

Worth reading all the way through. It really underscores a point I've been hammering from the beginning: This isn't about sex in books. The GOP goal is to stop kids from reading altogether. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/inter...

I hate it here.
Anti-abortion Secretary of State Frank LaRose ordered the purge of 27,000 voter registrations before voters decide on Issue 1, which would codify abortion in the state. People can re-register—but not in time to vote on the ballot measure. That deadline was Oct. 10.

This thread. Read this thread. One day longer. One day stronger. As usual, @slack2thefuture.bsky.social gets it!
A few high-profile members are pressing SAG-AFTRA negotiators to take a deal. A unique challenge for Hollywood unions is that some members think success in *individual* negotiations makes them experts in union negotiations. If anything, the opposite is true. Here’s why:🧵

I know it’s uncouth to say out so but Alabama voters just have to do better. You got rid of Doug Jones for Sen. Football and the whole country unsurprisingly is paying the price.

New in PN: “Trump has just one goal in his two federal criminal cases: push them off until after Nov 2024, so he can either pardon himself or instruct the DOJ to drop the charges.  That’s all you need to know about his legal strategy. The rest is noise.”
Trump demands trial delay to wade through classified docs he stolewww.publicnotice.co And Judge Cannon might just let him get away with it.
