I guess I should feel extra-special now that all the spam political messages are putting my name right in the subject line. Pro tip to #ActBlue and others: not reading them.
Pro tip to #Republicans: my name isn't "Louis."

“ICE isn’t the Gestapo. The Gestapo was…” (proceeds to describe qualities that apply to what ICE is currently doing)
From Senator Chris McDaniel: “Lately, some folks have taken to calling ICE “the Gestapo.” It sounds fierce. It feels righteous. But it isn’t true, and it isn’t harmless. The Gestapo was a secret police force. No warrants. No courts. No lawyers. And no appeals. People vanished in the night, not because they broke the law, but because the law no longer meant anything. The knock on the door was the sentence. ICE isn’t that. Not even close. ICE is a public agency enforcing laws passed by elected officials. Its agents file reports. They seek warrants. They lose cases. Judges stop them. Lawyers challenge them. Some detainees go home. That’s not tyranny. That’s bureaucracy, for better and worse. You can hate immigration policy. You can argue enforcement is too harsh, too sloppy, or too broad. You can work to have the law changed if you wish. That’s a republic doing what it’s supposed to do. But when you call ordinary law enforcement “the Gestapo,” you cheapen real evil. You turn history into a slogan and suffering into a metaphor. And once every badge is tyranny, no tyranny is left to recognize. In Mississippi, I was raised to believe words should earn their weight. This one hasn't yet. It throws around the language of dictatorship while living under a system where courts still rule, lawyers still argue, and the government still loses. That difference matters. Because the day enforcement becomes secret, unchecked, and answerable to no one, we won’t need to borrow names from history. We’ll know exactly what we’re dealing with. And we’ll wish we’d kept our words honest.”

Edsall lays out the core of ICE’s rampage: a racist nationalism fueled by anabolic steroids and poor training, led by a slight-statured angry chief on a vengeance tour.

Dreams

Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.

Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.

That’s exactly what they think. When civics education is pushed aside because of prep for mandated testing, a whole generation has to guess what government is and how it works.

set aside whether it is legal or not. what do you think an executive order is, and what do you think the relationship of the president is to a governor or state secretary of state is? do you think the president is their boss?

I think my question is, if he issues an executive order cancelling the election, even if it isn't legal, if a bucketful of states comply on some level, what impact would that have on the overall election. Can it theoretically just be sandbagged by a handful of intransigent states?

Once the national media have digested the very problematic invasion of #Venezuela, they need to turn back to the root cause: whatever is still hidden in the #EpsteinFiles. Huge distraction for #NBC #ABC #CBS #CNN #MSNBC!
Bronze statue of Pres. Donald Trump and financier Jeffrey Epstein holding hands and cavorting in front of the U.S. National Capitol, Washington, D.C. Not for nothing, but Epstein was indicted as a child sex trafficker and inexplicably released, then indicted and arrested again during the first Trump administration. Epstein allegedly committed suicide in the federal detention center in Manhattan, New York after his arrest. His co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell has been granted favorable terms for her detention, apparently to ensure her silence about the particulars of Trump’s involvement with the Epstein scandal. Trump himself has gone to Herculean lengths to avoid his own involvement being made public.
