1/ Republicans are running a psych operation on Democrats. They warn us not to nominate populists. But leaked GOP memos prove they’re actually terrified of populist candidates. Trump said it himself: Bernie was the one he didn’t want to face. 🧵

I think we heard that B-1 afterburner night flyover just a little while ago, presumably delayed by the thunderstorms like the rest of the official mayhem. It was terrifying.
No yeah everything is fine and good in DC

This 7 year old girl just reminded the world of something important:

You can stumble, crash, fall behind & still finish strong!

The race isn’t over when you fall.
It’s over when you stop getting back up!

This little girl’s determination is the kind of inspiration we all need!

One of my favorite types of music: where the musicians talk about the experience of being musicians. Homeward Bound by Simon and Garfunkel. Faithfully & Send Her My Love by Journey. Misbehavin' by Pentatonix. Turn the Page by Bob Seger. Running on Empty (album) by Jackson Browne. What else?

WOW! 👏Philly DA Larry Krasner:
“This is a small bunch of wannabe Nazis in a country of 350 million. We outnumber them. If we have to hunt you down the way they hunted down Nazis for decades, we will. We will find you. We will achieve justice.”

Discworld QOTD, from Thud!

“Beating people up in little rooms…he knew where that led. And if you did it for a good reason, you’d do it for a bad one. You couldn’t say ‘We’re the good guys’ and do bad-guy things.”
Discworld QOTD, from Making Money

"‘Even tyrants have to obey the law.’ He paused, looking thoughtful, and continued: ‘No, I tell a lie, tyrants do not have to obey the law, obviously, but they do have to observe the niceties.’"
Discworld QOTD, from Thief of Time

“People like that don't need a reason apart from "because I can". They have a nightmare and try to make it happen.”

Springsteen releases new song: "Streets of Minneapolis":

Oh our Minneapolis, I hear your voice
Singing through the bloody mist
We’ll take our stand for this land
And the stranger in our midst...
We’ll remember the names of those who died
On the streets of Minneapolis

A heroic moment in this anti-semitic tragedy.

The hero here is a 43 yo Lebanese immigrant and fruit stand owner named
Ahmed Al Ahmed who was shot twice in the arm (apparently bt the other gunman) after wrestling the gun away.

He will be fine according to a relative.

So we have two immigrant heroes. One in Australia who helped disarm one of the shooters and one in the US who helped track down the Brown U shooter. When a man stabbed several people in the UK, it was also an immigrant who disarmed him.

Weird that the Far Right keeps vilifying immigrants.

Leave this Maryland man alone. Let him go home to be with his family.
This is getting lost: For weeks Trump officials had the option to remove Abrego Garcia to Costa Rica, but refused to do so. Instead they kept trying to send him somewhere more dangerous. Costa Rica wasn't cruel and dehumanizing enough.

This is deeply sick conduct.

11 people in Australia were killed today by gunmen while they celebrated the first night of Chanukah at Sydney’s Bondi Beach. Targeted because they were Jews.

As Jewish families around the world, we place our menorahs in our windows. Our message to the world: Light will outlive the darkness.
