I gaze into the blue sky and am overcome by the dizziness of freedom to choose my own-most feeds.

Illegally barring US reps from entering ICE facilities for oversight effectively makes these black sites on US soil. We now disappear people domestically for cruel and unusual punishment.

Do I have to report my Soros payment for my participation in the “hate America” rally on my tax return?

Make them go nuclear. Then if the Ds get a trifecta the simple majority in the Senate will be used to reorder SCOTUS, make DC and Puerto Rico states and make Rs pay for their crimes.

Trump now has his bribe-plane and a safe airbase by which to flee the country after he attempts his next coup in ‘28 and the people overthrow him.

Hegseth: "I'm also proud that today we're signing a letter of acceptance to build a Qatari Emeri air force facility at the Mountain Home Airbase in Idaho."

Trump now has his airbase and bribe-jet by which he can flee the country when the people throw him off from his wannabe dictatorship.

Any news organization that treated "Will Trump Get Nobel?" as a remotely serious question, and not one more indication of his accelerating hallucinatory patterns, has some 'splaining to do.

Looking at you, all major news orgs.

Even a pause in the killing and displacement would be good and I share the cautious optimism that this could end this phase of the catastrophe. But it is wild that people are treating this as if it’s the negotiated end of the Russo-Japanese War, or even Camp David 1978.

Very astute for the Portland protestors to co-opt a frog as an anti-ICE mascot to brunt the racist MAGA groyper Pepe the frog meme.

One thing remains a constant: conservative or note, Marc A. Thiessen remains profoundly untalented and an exhausting nit.

Dem electeds and candidates need to explicitly run on:

- getting rid of qualified immunity for ICE
- every ice officer that breaks the law will be fired, going to jail and pensions revoked
- feeding the entire ICE department to the wood chipper.
- reorganizing all of DHS into a tiny fraction

Those who subject us to watching months of absurdities, make us numb to their atrocities.

“But we have to constantly ring the bell that this is not true, that the images are a lie, that there is no pretext because these places are figments of a fascist imagination.”

“There is no degree of acquiescence to Trumpism that will satisfy this administration or MAGA at large. All there is is a choice between offering a faint echo of the false reality they’re selling and creating dissonance by speaking the reality of the situation to the public.”

All In Our Heads: On Losing Our Democracy and Life Beyond Our Imaginations

Our language has to meet the moment, and we have to be relentless about dispelling the fiction MAGA is selling.

Pritzker is one of the very few who has FU money who is actually saying FU.

It is astonishing how much the founders relied on norms to govern a presidents behavior, as opposed to black letter law.

If your moral norms allow slavery, you would miss the potential evil of a corrupt despot, even though you just declared independence from one.

It really can't be said enough: the goal of the "anti-woke" movement was always to destroy social norms against bigotry. And it worked. And there's a whole lot of purportedly "left" thinkers & commentators who helped it -- indeed, it couldn't have been done without them.

They should feel bad.

Every version of Christendom has never been anything but Caesar dressed in Christ's cast-off burial clothes.

Reject the Christendom's siren call, and instead lean into earnest faith. A faith of lived example, consistent witness, and one that rejects Caesar's tools, trappings, and power.

The White House Antifa Roundtable is one of the best displays I’ve seen of this-is-how-bad-it’s-gotten — just a sewer of open fascism, dementia, morons and freaks, and incoherent rage.
