Someone on the Nextdoor app in Los Angeles said they were out to dinner and talked about what they had just seen in Chicago. The guy at the next table got up and said he couldn’t wait till 47 kills all the Dems!!!! Holy sh*t!

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

What happened to the guy (David Ellison) who donated $1 million to the Biden campaign in 2024? Does he really need to kiss the ring this much?

As often as we’ve had to boycott, we need to support Netflix, whose cofounder donated $2 million for the Yes campaign!

Referring to the abuse visited upon over a thousand girls as a “red herring” is nasty work, you asshole.

Welker: They say the house is not in session because you don't want to swear in the newly elected democratic congresswoman who would be a critical vote to releasing the Epstein files.

Johnson: It's totally absurd. This has nothing to do with that. It's another red herring.

Stoke fear. Exploit desperation. Suspend the rule of law. Fan brutality.

Every time the stronger brutalize the weak, it’s fundamentally the same playbook.

Our duty is to stand up to brutality.

Our moral obligation is to protect the vulnerable and hold the powerful accountable.

Jimmy Kimmel's worst case scenario was moving from prime time to a podcast. Mario Guevara's is being shipped to El Salvador and facing more of the persecution he fled 20 years ago.

If that happens, the chilling effect will be impossible to measure.

Nobody cares about the victims in the Dallas ICE shooting apparently. The first I've heard about one of them was on CNN today. He's fighting for his life in the hospital --- he was brought to the US when he was 13. He's 33 now. No criminal record.

I just don't know what to say anymore.

let there be no doubt what they are up to. And they aren't even embarrassed to say it:

Stephen Miller tweeted that calling ICE authoritarian "incites violence and terrorism." This wasn't just the usual fascist bluster. It was a signal.

I asked Bannon if Miller will seek to prosecute groups that use this language about ICE

It also mentions an organized riot, which only requires them to incite pushback at a rally and voila! They have an organized riot using their broad definition

Democracy is under attack, and the courts are at the center of the fight. I spoke with Jamie Raskin, Mary McCord, and Nicholas Bowie about how Trump’s tactics and the Supreme Court are undermining the Constitution, and what we all must do to defend it.

I’d love to know if these special elections are bringing out more voters than normal to help figure out if this is a wave starting. Which better hurry and hit the shore before all the gerrymandering goes into effect and voting rights get taken away.

The New Yorker asked me “how bad” today’s Supreme Court ruling was. I boiled it down to one paragraph:

link.newyorker.com/view/5bda429...
"Just the other day, I was in the audience at Lincoln Center when Justice Amy Coney Barrett said, while promoting a new book, that she doesn't think the United States is in a constitutional crisis," Farias told us. "Today, the Supreme Court, without offering a single line of reasoning, more or less declared that the Fourth Amendment, which protects everyone from unreasonable searches and seizures, nonetheless allows the Trump Administration to arrest and detain anyone who looks Latino, citizen or not, on account of the language that they speak or the kind of jobs they do. The ruling putatively covers the Los Angeles area, but the effect could be national," he continued.
"If that's not a constitutional crisis, then what is?"

Too bad it’s the first Sunday in months my moderate husband missed! I need him to hear what I’m saying from someone he trusts. I’ll try and find it
