- Reposted by Jeff MeyerOur founders, though deeply flawed, understood that democracy requires an informed citizenry and a government accountable to it people. That’s why the press is the only profession protected by the Constitution. It’s also why autocrats and oligarchs seek to control and destroy it.
- Reposted by Jeff MeyerI can't speak to whether it is actually bortac and whether it is actually mortar launchers but I mentioned in my piece yesterday that I had witnessed tear gas being launched in the air in an arc over people's heads. This video I found on IG shows what I described
- Reposted by Jeff MeyerI think @wyden.senate.gov would be wise to tell the public what’s going on, especially in light of the the Fulton County raid.
- Reposted by Jeff MeyerOne simple way to understand this is that a very rich man killed basic public knowledge of another very rich man's misdeeds.
- My story on Elon Musk cutting safeguards at xAI is on the front page of today's @washingtonpost.com. I’m also among 100’s of reporters laid off. I absolutely loved my job my brilliant coworkers & the thrill of reporting @ the center of forces upending the world: AI & Silicon Valley’s political power
- Reposted by Jeff MeyerThis cannot be something a civilian law enforcement agent is allowed to wear in the US — and an agency that has a culture that tolerates this cannot be saved.
- Reposted by Jeff Meyerone thing the trump era has made clear, i think, is that the american people themselves are far more committed to the values of our founding documents than our elites
- Reposted by Jeff MeyerPretty bold move by the WH to post this the day after Donald Trump demanded that the IRS just hand him $10 billion (more than his total net worth) of taxpayer funds for no real reason.
- Reposted by Jeff Meyerby the way, a defendant of the stature and credibility of Don Lemon--who 100% isn't running away anywhere -would typically be permitted to answer a summons. Arresting him and putting him in jail overnight was a gratuitous indignity--which is to say part of the point of this performative indictment.

- Reposted by Jeff MeyerI get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people. But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.
- Reposted by Jeff MeyerA reminder that there are only two days left to see John Akomfrah’s The “Hour of the Dog” at the @artbma.bsky.social. His stunning film installation features many of mugshots of young - very young - activists who were arrested during the Civil Rights Movement. Mugshots can reverse the narrative.

- Reposted by Jeff MeyerWhy is Tulsi Gabbard, the top intelligence officer in the USG, with the FBI on a raid related to conspiracy theories about the 2020 election. The congressional intelligence committee ought to ask about this.

- Reposted by Jeff MeyerJust over the past 72 days, two non-white Democratic members of Congress have been attacked, one of them by a Trump supporter who threatened him with deportation. Does JD Vance have anything to say? After all, the GOP VP is always so keen to attack "left-wing" political violence.

- Reposted by Jeff Meyer100%. I honestly believe political leaders ask too little of people. The thinking is you need an extraordinarily low bar - so ask people for money or to sign something. People want to be part of something and they're eager to do real meaningful work in defense of their community and their rights.

- Reposted by Jeff MeyerCongresswoman @ayannapressley.bsky.social has been trying to get qualified immunity eliminated her ENTIRE career. What the fuck is it going to take to get people to listen to her?
- There's no ICE accountability without ending qualified immunity. They're murdering people. There won't be justice for the lives they've stolen, but there must be accountability. My bill with @markey.senate.gov would ensure families can sue the agents murdering their loved ones.
- Reposted by Jeff Meyerhere's a video from this afternoon in Eden Prairie MN of ICE agents camping out as a bus stop. Again, this is terrorism.
- Reposted by Jeff MeyerUh. So ICE just technically tried to invade Ecuador. Cool new international incident dropping.
