"History has already shown us how this story unfolds. Fascism is not built only in the camps and cells. It is built in the shrug, the silence, the insistence that life can go on as if nothing has changed"

Fascism does not break normal life, it feeds on it.

I'm going to keep saying this: I ❤️ Chicago

The schools in my area are on soft lockdown because of ICE. A teacher posted in the neighborhood group for help at dismissal - and now there's 40 or so of us surrounding the school with whistles ready to make sure these kids make it home

We keep us safe

No, Bernie, sending squads of goosestepping fascists to conduct mass raids and terrify entire communities is not "better." This is a godawful take and you should feel bad.

If you don’t have any borders, you don’t have a nation," Sanders, a Vermont independent who caucuses with the Democratic Party, said on The Tim Dillon Show on Wednesday. "Trump did a better job. I don’t like Trump, but we should have a secure border. It ain’t that hard to do. Biden didn't do it."

We already have plenty of evidence of what happens when things better left to governments — which in this case might decide to never flip the switch at all — are ceded to private industry.

At Law Dork, I wrote a guide to what is happening in the challenges to Trump's National Guard deployment efforts.

Expect significant rulings from the courts — including the Supreme Court — in the coming days and weeks. There are two key hearings set for today.

I do think we have a pretty good chance of turning gambling into a genuine popular moral crusade 19th century style, because it's becoming a social evil that's destroying young men's lives in particular but also making sports coverage really shit.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 81st day out of the last 93.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

A sampling of the words this candidate used to describe millennial women:

For the record, $130 million is almost literally a tiny drop in the bucket. The U.S. military payroll biweekly is some $23 billion (the latest budget request is $600 billion). This ostensible gift amounts to a bit more than 0.5% of the biweekly payroll.
