This sadly demented man doesn't realize *he* was president on Jan 6, 2021. Get him in an assisted living facility ASAP.

Writing something about ICE and sweet Jesus it is so incredibly dark what they are doing to these cities. We have all seen the videos, but when you wade into the details of their actions, it is extraordinarily bleak.

He was still the President that day.
So it was his own FBI. 😂

Should the New York Times be sold to Pennysaver and its editors sent to work in Amazon warehouses? It depends on who you ask.

At least half a dozen companies vying for some of the $45B allocated for immigration detention work hired a friend of border czar Tom Homan because that friend (who previously had Homan on his payroll) led them to believe his connections to Homan would help their chances of scoring a contract.

"In an authoritarian context, all journalism will tend toward propaganda unless it is explicitly formulated as anti-authoritarian. Unless an institution is explicitly designed to counter authoritarianism, it will end up aiding the authoritarians."
The Washington Post and CBS News are dying. The Bulwark is the future.

The mainstream media loves making it seam like dysfunction in Washington is coming from both parties.

Hello?

Much of the GOP no longer accepts the rule of law, or the norms of democracy, or the legitimacy of the opposing party.

Enough of the false equivalence.

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Depraved.

On the one hand, yes, demand answers as to why this happened. But release him now independent of the answer — there is no justification for this. No society that hasn’t hopelessly devolved past the point of return does this to kids. I don’t care whatever they can possibly cook up as an excuse.

I co-wrote a book about Benedict Arnold’s treason, focused on his co-conspirator wife. The difference between Arnold and today’s Republicans is that Arnold did brave things before his betrayal. But he’d likely be gratified that the GOP's actions mean he’s no longer the worst traitor in U.S. history.

American mainstream media orgs, all of them at some level, are complicit in this nonsense. The consolidation of media to pursue ever greater profits has destroyed our national ability to have critical debate in a culturally meaningful way. Fox may be the worst but they all played a role.

Reporters: stop using the deferential term "detaining" when talking about ICE goons' abduction of innocent people from US streets. You proper term would indeed by "abduction", but if you want to pretend neutrality you could use "capture", which at least says nothing about the captors' motives.
