Here’s a tell: when you point to their hypocrisy it doesn't move them.
Hypocrisy is a feature not a bug of autocracy. Because it proves that the rules apply to you but not to them.

Attention gentiles: a fascist government allowing deadly infectious disease to run loose in a concentration camp is an appropriate time to draw a parallel to Anne Frank.
ICE now confirming that there is a measles outbreak at the Texas concentration camp where young Liam was held.

Reminding us all, yet again, that Anne Frank - whose family the U.S. refused to accept as refugees or immigrants - died in the Nazi concentration camp Bergen-Belsen of typhus.

Once again here to tap the mic and say Texas is a gerrymandered, voter repressed state, not a "red" state. And every one of you celebrating the (significant) win in Tarrant County better not be the same people in my mentions saying to throw the whole South away. There are good people fighting.

Maybe we should try offering pocket Constitutions to ICE and CBP agents. They appear to need some remedial work on the basics.

A person who was involved with Occupy activities at age 21 is now 36. I have to think that things they learned then might be manifesting in practice now.

Me at 1:30: Wait, where did all the cheese go? And why do I feel so groggy?

Gotta wonder how all the shameless lying sits with the folks who think “Thou shalt not bear false witness” should be posted on every classroom wall.
Trump administration officials have falsely linked Alex Pretti and Renee Macklin Good to domestic terrorism. It's part of a larger pattern by the Department of Homeland Security. n.pr/45Arnsg

Centering myself, here, but I really find it disconcerting when a notable person dies and was less that 10 years older than I am.

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

Even though we were in the same room at the time, I had to tell my son about the new Jo Nesbø series out on Netflix by text message. I knew I wouldn’t be able to say it out loud without cracking up badly and rolling around on the floor. (The show, and its lead character, is Hole. Harry Hole.)

Does she mention in her posts that nearly all of them have been released without charges? And that they are often released with their phones and coats confiscated, in the middle of the night, in -10°f temps, and without being able to call loved ones.
No? Well. How odd....

Since we published this, Pam Bondi's X account has started posting mugshots of Minnesotans arrested for impeding ICE/CBP. Sharing a defendant's photo publicly in this way is forbidden under DOJ rules
ICE and CBP are at the head of Trump's campaign to terrorize Minnesotans. But the Justice Department is not far behind.
