It’s pretty wild that the most rabidly anti-immigrant administration in recent memory is comprised of a President married to an immigrant, a VP married to the daughter of immigrants, an assistant AG in charge of Civil Rights who’s an immigrant (Dhillon), & it was all funded by an immigrant (Musk).

We didn't create the CCA to be a slush fund to bail out feckless governors who don't have the balls to propose a budget that raises enough revenue to fund our civic priorities.
Ferguson proposing $3 billion in bonds for highways and vehicle ferries and then proposing to divert hundreds of millions in Climate Commitment Act dollars a few days later is such an incredible one-two punch.

The best way to revolt is to leak the segment.
Expect a "revolt" among 60 Minutes staff over Bari Weiss pulling the CECOT segment at the last minute, one network insider told me.
Another CBS News reporter added that a Rubicon had been crossed with this decision, which 60 Minutes correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi called "political" and not editorial.

The responsible thing to do at this point is to leak the whole story to show that ham-handed censorship doesn't work.

James Talarico: The Bible doesn't mention abortion or gay marriage, but it goes on and on about forgiving debt, liberating the poor, and healing the sick. The closest thing we have to the kingdom of heaven is a multiracial, multicultural democracy where power is truly shared among all people

this is what I want for automatic weapons. someday I want people to look back and just shake their heads in disbelief at the literal cities of adults and children that we allowed to be brutally murdered.
I lived thru the end of public smoking. Early in my career I presented to city councils who were smoking, in front of audiences who were smoking.
Smoking in restaurants, airplanes, hospitals…
All of that seems insane now, but it was very controversial when we DID change it.
We CAN change things.

Sounds like a great opportunity for a multi state consortium. @governorferguson.bsky.social
California is providing its own version of the CDC - “a shield” - to provide reliable health information at a time when it’s lacking in the rest of the US, Governor Gavin Newsom announced.
It’s not a Shadow CDC, he stressed, not at that federal level, but it will have links with the WHO.

Jay Inslee's 2020 authoritarian opponent Loren Culp appears to be calling for mass executions by hanging. This is a tweet from today.
If you're not on Trump's team, you should be killed, basically. Horrific stuff.

This. This was the formative event of my generation & our entire politics in 🇺🇸. The structural break after which we were no longer a full democracy, when 5 Wizards In Robes decided they were a super-legislature & counting all the actual votes didn’t matter. The rest has been 25 years of commentary.
25 years ago today, SCOTUS elected George W Bush president of the United States by blocking completion of a voting canvass in Florida. A subsequent canvass by the Associated Press showed that Bush's rival, Al Gore, had won the race in Florida—and thus the contest for the presidency—by 700 votes.
