This 2014 story of the NSA and FBI using FISA warrants to spy on a slate of ordinary Americans--including a Republican campaign--was almost entirely ignored by major media at the time. Hard to imagine how differently it would be covered today.

That the NSA was spying on numerous Muslim American leaders -- including several we named: a former Bush DHS official, a GOP Congressional candidate, and @NihadAwad -- was something we could reveal in 2014 because of @Snowden's courage: theintercept.com/2014/07/09/…

My wife was researching our family history on the internet. "I've found out where my Grandma's buried," she said excitedly. At which point I looked at the patio rather nervously.

To be fair, Biden supported the original Jim Crow as well. It's one of his only consistent stances.

If the president and Mitch McConnell think there is not another major emergency bill coming soon, they are terribly wrong. The country is in crisis and we have got to respond to that crisis.

Then why did you vote for it?!?!? Why didn’t you call out your corrupt leader @SpeakerPelosi for negotiating such a screwing of America? Why aren’t you calling out your corrupt leadership to submit a better bill NOW? Cuz you’re a fake leader who bends the knee & sells out.

The $500 billion➡️$4 trillion slush fund for Wall Street was almost immediately available, very liquid, and practically comes with concierge service from Treasury. The $350b for small biz is slower, w/ more strings, & less liquid. Ease of capital is a baked-in inequality, too.

For those unable to visit, we made a virtual walk around the Crystal Palace Dinosaurs! Complete with labels for the sculptures, and a fake soundtrack (it was windy in the park today!) With love from the Friends 💚🦖

The cafe is quiet tonight. Soft rain on the umbrella is the music. A car turns onto the road and passes by. He turns up his collar and lights another cigarette. The coffee is hot. The night is long. Somewhere close by an owl calls into the night. Something is watching.
