“The people who talked for years about Hunter Biden have nothing to say about the rampant self-dealing of the Trump sons, Kushner, and of course Trump himself—which is at a scale so incomprehensible and brazen it apparently warrants no notice.”

My brother wisely asks:

Michael Froomkin @mfroomkin.bsky.social · 1d

Why is it that every disappeared US citizen is not front page news? At the very least we should have a little box with a count of the number of citizens who have been taken away and are not locatable and a link to a story with photos & min-bios, just as we used to do with military casually figures.

In Portland, Oregon, masked ICE GOONS abducted and vanished US citizen Gonzalo Catalan last week. Tragically, his family remains unaware of his whereabouts and has not received any communication from him as of today.

All of Ukraine is currently covered with hundreds of Russian drones and missiles.
It's impossible to have sufficient "air defense."
Ukraine needs thousands of long-range offensive weapons to destroy Russian military bases.

SNAP recipients work. That so many Americans rely on food assistance shows the deep rot of inequality in 🇺🇸.

Corporations underpaying workers who then rely on the government is the real problem.

CORPORATE WELFARE is the only welfare everyone should be blaming.

I get it: it’s terrifying to admit what’s happening right now.

No one wants to believe their nation is falling into authoritarianism, that the norms they relied on in the past are no longer givens, that the can’t-happen-heres are actually happening here.

Breaking news: The DOJ placed two federal prosecutors on leave after they filed a document in court that referred to the Jan. 6. attack on the U.S. Capitol as a “riot” carried out by a “mob,” two people familiar with the matter said.

Two U.S. prosecutors suspended after describing Jan. 6 attack as ‘mob’

The suspensions come in the case of a 2021 Capitol rioter who faces sentencing for unrelated weapons charges.
