So for Dems, the win is: reiterating 3 things that are already law, 1 thing that is a best practice, and 1 thing that was already a rule up until 6 months ago?
From the bottom of my heart: fuck off with this.
And they didn't even include ICE out of hospitals, healthcare facilities and daycares.

Dems coalescing around 5 restrictions on ICE, I'm told:
DHS required to cooperate with state probes (big)
CBP stays at border
warrants for arrests
IDs, bodycams
ICE out of churches, schools

Of the biggest scandals in US history just this week, I think I’d rank them:
1) Federal paramilitaries invade US city based on racist lies, murder US citizens
2) Slush fund for the president from stolen foreign resources held in Qatar
3) Whatever FBI and DNI are doing re: 2020 election in Georgia

Update: The Trans bathroom bounty hunter bill in Kansas has just passed the Kansas House.
They have rushed it to the Senate for passage.
If it passes, the most extreme anti-trans bill in the nation is about to be sent to the Governor's desk.

As far as I know, Tom Suozzi here still does not have a primary challenger in his district (NY-3 on Long Island).
The filing deadline is April 6 for the primary on June 23, and if there's a remotely progressive town council member or PTA president in that district, this is the time to make a move.

there is nothing redeemable about X, its literally a font of child sexual abuse material and revenge porn, and a world where it disappeared without a trace tomorrow would be quantifiably better

A couple of us at the magazine were just talking about this. Dan wrote funny blogs, yes, but he also literally changed the course of conversation for an American icon.
As @jenniferkates.bsky.social reminds me, it was Dan McQuade who was at Hannibal Burress's October 2014 show at the Troc when he said “You rape women, Bill Cosby,” happened to be recording it, made it go viral, and from then on no one ever could forget or deny who Bill Cosby was.
Hannibal Buress on Bill Cosby: 'You're a Rapist'
Comedian Hannibal Buress called Bill Cosby a rapist in a bit at the Trocadero on Thursday night. Cosby has been accused of sexual assault by multiple women.

I just saw this whole Tiktok where a woman says her grandmother had a picture book that was given to her by a "friend" detailing the very deep love they shared. A beautiful, sad story. There were decades of same sex relationships like this that people had to hide away. www.tiktok.com/t/ZThy2c3bv/
