What Brazil’s January 8 Can Teach Us About January 6

In 2021, the January 6 Capitol attack exposed deep connections between the US state and far-right groups. When something similar happened in Brazil in 2023, it prompted a national attempt to reform th...

Kavanaugh stops on immigration enforcement. And revised Kavanaugh stops. To paraphrase Malcolm, I am not a citizen, if Kavanaugh steps are needed to make me a citizen.

@corybooker.com has the 60-minute CECOT segment available on his channel. Watch it while you can. In other places, Paramount has taken the video down - "copyright," don't you know. Share. The more who witness, the better.

That's right! It is not identity politics when a white man with limited credentials holds the job. He earned it. Like everything DT has done is earned.

Can we please contextualize this? This shows that support for political violence as measured is thermostatic and expressive. People on the identity extremes express higher support when their side is out of power.

Trump will die one day. Trumpism is much more difficult to suppress because elites have learned that there are no limits and SCOTUS reinforces that notion. Will the "silent majority" the 60-65% of Americans who reject Trump, assert themselves? The time is now.

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents.

I did it because the government isn’t.

This is what I found.

White words on a black background read:

50+
Immigration agents have the authority to detain whom they reasonably suspect are in the country illegally. We found more than 50 Americans who were held after agents questioned their citizenship. They were almost all Latino.

~130
Agents also can arrest citizens who allegedly interfered with or assaulted officers. We compiled cases of about 130 Americans, including a dozen elected officials, accused of assaulting or impeding officers.

~20
Among the citizens detained are nearly 20 children, including two with cancer.

The Catholic Church is responsible for a lot of culture war crap and all the "gender ideology" nonsense. But on this, Leo is on the right side of the line.

Pope Leo: "Someone who says, 'I'm against abortion,' but is in favor of the death penalty is not really pro-life. Someone who says, 'I'm against abortion but I'm in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants in the United States,' I don’t know if that's pro-life."

Pope Leo speaks up on Dick Durbin’s behalf amid abortion rift

"It's important to look at the overall work that a senator has done,” the pontiff said amid an uproar over a church honor for the Illinois Democrat.
