Trump wrongly indicted me. I’ll rightly impeach him.

Impeachment isn’t just an option, it’s a necessity. I know firsthand the lengths Trump is willing to go in order to silence dissent — but is it working?

Might as well learn her name now because, I assure you, you'll learn it soon enough.
Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.

The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

The explanation for this is the same reason that everyone complains about negative campaign tactics but the negative tactics always work so everyone always resorts to them.

Worth watching: @goangelo.bsky.social discusses the role Marjorie Taylor Greene had played in distilling the right-wing media echo chamber, and how Trump's lack of vigor and disinterest in the job is revealing cracks in the MAGA system.

In a personalist regime, the leader always gets a taste.

Republican administrations literally backed death squads to fight communism. And now Trump is expropriating domestic companies and it's just 🦗🦗🦗

A mayoral candidate saying maybe the city should cover the cost of bus rides gets the full socialism panic treatment before he even tries it.

A sitting president taking billions of dollars worth of shares in private companies gets “I must say, a tad unusual” after it’s been going for nearly a year.

I enjoyed TFA, but I think it benefited significantly from a) the low expectations set by the prequels, and b) the hints and teases of a larger coherent story in the background, basically none of which panned out in the next two.
