This administration seems unmoved by art.

There is no Shakespeare in their language, no Baldwin in their conscience, no Springsteen on their radios, no Swift in their playlists.

And when leaders feel nothing for beauty, it’s the soul of a nation that suffers.

Maybe Trump should call up the President of Antifa and engage in peace talks. Might win him a Nobel

Agree. That’s what evil does, it carves itself into your soul and face like a sculptor shaping stone.

Former Trump WH lawyer Ty Cobb just called AG Pamela Bondi “the most partisan attorney general ever,” comparing her to Nixon’s AG John Mitchell - who went to prison - and saying she’s even more “regrettable.”👇

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

if we are going to have a supreme court that is as powerful as it is, i basically think justices should be forbidden from public comment on their work as well as any supplemental source of income while they are on the bench. (they should also ride circuit again but that's a bit separate.)

Andy Craig @andycraig.bsky.social · 15h

The substance of what she's saying is bad and unconvincing, but more fundamentally, I really don't think Supreme Court justices should be going on book tours where they publicly comment on their work and respond to criticism of it. Either put it in a written opinion or hold your peace.

Amy Coney Barrett defends heavy use of the shadow docket: "If we wrote a long opinion, it might give the impression that we have finally resolved the issue, and in none of these cases have we finally resolved the issue."

Just more fascist bullshit, I still want to see them turn this upside down, pick up a book, fascist have never ever in the history of the world been the good guys and their vilification of anti fascism ends any argument as to whether they are fascist. They are fascist and they are the bad guys.

ICE kidnapped a 7th-grader with a pending asylum claim and spirited him out of state without notifying his parents, seemingly with the cooperation of the local police in Everett, MA.

Everett 13-year-old arrested by ICE and sent to Virginia detention facility

A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia.
A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia.
A 13-year-old boy was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Everett after an interaction with members of the Everett Police Department and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia, according to his mother and immigration lawyer Andrew Lattarulo.

The boy’s mother, Josiele Berto, was called to pick her son up from the Everett Police Department on Thursday, the day he was arrested. After waiting for about an hour and a half, she was told her son was taken by ICE, Berto told the Globe in a phone interview.

“My world collapsed,” Berto said in Portuguese.

From the police department, the boy was taken to ICE’s holding facility in Burlington on Thursday evening, where he spent a night before being transferred by car to the Northwestern Regional Juvenile Detention Center in Winchester, Va., on Friday morning, his mother said. The juvenile facility is more than 500 miles away from Everett.

The boy is a 7th-grader at Albert N. Parlin School in Everett, his mother said. The teen and his family, who are Brazilian nationals, have a pending asylum case and are authorized to work legally in the United States, Lattarulo said.

You’re absolutely right.

The White House is trying to turn antifa into something it isn’t because if you’re not anti-fascist, that makes you pro-fascist.

And who wants to be that?

Bondi and others present Antifa as an organized, violent “terrorist” force.

But real analysts and experts treat “Antifa” as a loose, decentralized ideology or movement, not a centrally directed organization, which is exactly what it is.

The gap between framing and structure is a critical one.👇
