Weak Dem leadership. There was a time when it wasn’t so.
The choice to frame this rhetorically as a negotiation *with ICE and DHS* rather than, you know, a decision about their future made by their rightful superiors in the popularly elected legislature is, to me, incredibly grating.
Our DHS reform demands are exceedingly reasonable.

We're asking ICE to do nothing more than follow the standards that the vast majority of law enforcement agencies already follow.

Republicans, the ball is in your court. The clock is ticking.

I know, I know, I've been going on about Nova Scotia novelist Jan Hilliard for years now, but his week sees Morgan's Castle, her final novel, return to print after a fifty years as part of the Véhicule Press Ricochet Books imprint. I wrote the intro.

When I worked for Reason magazine during Trump's rise to power in 2016, I was explicitly forbidden by the editor in chief from writing about Trump's racism, or the violence and racism at his rallies.

It was a "sideshow," I was told.
Weird. I tried to warn libertarians about Trump

R. B. Bennett, the prime minister of Canada from 1930 to 1935.

Bennett was a firm believer in laissez-faire economics. Although personally generous, his stingy economic policies finally led to his ouster by William Lyon Mackenzie King … who also turned out to be rather laissez-faire.

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

This woman has more courage than every member of the Democratic leadership caucuses in Washington combined. And there are tens of thousands of everyday people just like her who are finding courage to confront evil face to face while our "leaders" dither and argue over semantics.

The world condemns Donald Trump's disrespect and insults for those who died supporting the US after 911. #NATO countries sent their military to fight in Afghanistan and Iraq in a 20-year war. The ungrateful bastard speech at #Davos26 was an assault against #NATO

“History does not record many cases in which a power-mad leader careening toward tyranny suddenly regained his senses and became more moderate. On the contrary, the normal course of the disease is toward ever-accelerating deterioration and debauchery.”
