We can't resist or obstruct while in the minority, and we can't accomplish much of anything while in the majority.

But we sure can send a fundraising email! Or a text, did you give us your number? God help you.

Want to hear me say "kitchen table issues" until you lose the will to live?

The media desperately wanted to give the right a cultural moment and the problem is that they have no culture.

The mainstream media just won't stop believing in old white men as the "adults in the room" in the Trump Administration, and taking them at their word.

Utterly embarrassing.

Any paper, publication, network or reporter that takes this administration at their word needs to find a new line of work.
Well look at that! The 700 officers that were supposed to have left will definitely start leaving soon! I'm so angry about everyone who reported on this so-called drawdown. When this administration tells you something: Verify before parroting.

I see some people claiming the little kid handed the Grammy in the halftime show **was** Liam.
The only thing I'm rooting for in this Super Bowl is that Bad Bunny performs in an adult version of Liam Ramos' bunny hat.

“We cannot just abolish ICE!”

Bestie, you are older than ICE.

🧵 If you care about our Haitian neighbors in Ohio, please debunk & “call in” folks with large platforms claiming the churches are trafficking children.

The community is bracing for what could possibly be the largest family separation operation in US history.

The *best version* of the Epstein scandal is that a wide swathe of American elites was palling around with a known child predator and explicit eugenicist for years on end — and is now closing ranks to downplay the severity of his crimes and their own complicity.

Last week the far right started peddling a narrative that the outrage over Epstein is a moral panic. Today, like clockwork, a more polite version of that narrative appears in the Atlantic.

Maybe consider somebody other than the Uvalde congressman to talk about how much the Republican Party cares about the well-being of little kids
Gonzales on Liam Ramos and his family: "They're not gonna qualify for asylum. So what do you do with all the people that go through the process and do not qualify for asylum? You deport them. I understand that 5-year-old and it breaks my heart. I also think, what about that 5-year-old US citizen?"

Following the killings of Renée Good and Alex Pretti by federal agents in Minnesota, "Commander at Large" Gregory Bovino was reassigned away from his leadership role in the operation.

Journalist Amanda Moore notes the violent culture and widespread fear he helped create won't be so easily removed.

There is a good case to be made that the fundamental question that animates every axis of US politics, one that is being fully unveiled by the deterioration of institutions that used to address it obscurely, is whether or not there should be black people.
FAMU can't use the word Black on anything posted around campus related to Black History Month, to stay in compliance with Florida state laws against DEI. Black students can't use the word Black at their Historically Black College during Black History Month.

The coastal media couldn't wait to stop paying attention to Minnesota.
NEW: The Trump admin certainly put on a show last week about changing tactics in Minnesota after ICE agents killed Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old VA nurse.

Trump even suggested it's time for "a softer touch."

Except residents say nothing has changed. At all. www.huffpost.com/entry/ice-mi...

Two weeks after Alex Pretti’s killing, federal agents have shown no signs of backing down. The resistance definitely hasn't.

With tax season in full swing, here's our reminder that TurboTax owner Intuit spent two decades fighting to prevent Americans from filing their taxes online for free.

Inside TurboTax’s 20-Year Fight to Stop Americans From Filing Their Taxes for Free
Using lobbying, the revolving door and “dark pattern” customer tricks, Intuit fended off the government’s attempts to make tax filing free and easy, and created its multi-billion-dollar franchise.
