Shout out to every single member of the @TrumanProject who is moving mountains to get folks out of Afghanistan right now. I have never been more proud to be part of this community, or more in awe of what it can do.

Adventures in Oppo, Lesson 11: if you’re going to post the whole file (which you should not do!), don’t forget to scrub it for notes from research saying “oh btw this is also a problem for us”

We decide what Texas is, not the past. Listen to our full #txindependenceday conversation with NYT best-selling author @JasStanford, on the latest episode of the Progress Texas Podcast.

Texas voter: If someone like me is requesting the Democratic ballot…that should be a real sign for the Republican Party- who I don’t recognize anymore.

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump. Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

A statement from the family of Alex Pretti, obtained by CNN: "We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the hero term lightly. However his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He has his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down all while being pepper sprayed. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you."

Just popping into this hellsite to remind folks that we are, at every turn, utterly compromised and super fucked.

Tripp is one to watch, y’all. Give him a few bucks and watch the man do some good work.

Just checking in to this hellsite to say the current president is a bought and wholly owned puppet of Vladimir Putin.

Having a totally normal one down here in Texas.

It's happening right in front our eyes. It's accelerated rapidly in the last 24 hours. Not sure why everyone doesn't see this. 1/ Can I take a minute to connect the dots - on how Trump is putting into action a plan to cripple our democracy in a way we may never recover from?

Today being the anniversary of the repeal of Prohibition, on December 5, 1933, we pause to remember the particularly measured and balanced reaction of perhaps the greatest judge of the 20th century, Judge Learned Hand, to Prohibition's end:
