White privilege is just a fancy way of saying “you don’t have to deal with racism”, it doesn’t mean you have a Rolls Royce and a staff of servants.

It does mean you don’t have to worry about ICE tackling you in the hallway because a neighbor said you “look illegal.”

It’s really interesting to see which government officials and members of Congress are comfortable publicly writing on social media that they’re fine with service members carrying out unlawful orders and abandoning The Constitution. Someone should start a list.

The mother of Karoline Leavitt’s nephew was arrested in Revere, MA by ICE for being a criminal illegal alien. She came to the US in a B2 tourist visa and was supposed to leave in 1999. It’s hard to believe that Karoline didn’t know. Rules for thee, but not for me.

If a local police department assists ICE in kidnapping people, are they eventually going to be held criminally liable too? Accountability must happen. We can't bend the knee to fascism and police who assist are as culpable a anyone else.

How to get rid of Citizens United?

We can do away with it without a new Supreme Court. Nor do we need a constitutional amendment.

There’s a far simpler way. Let me explain: https://robertreich.substack.com/p/how-to-get-rid-of-citizens-united

BREAKING: new emails CONFIRM my reporting that there are TRAINING VIDEOS instructing FBI personnel on how to review the Epstein Files. Plus, a lot more…
The emails reveal the special training given to FBI personnel working on what it called the “Epstein Transparency Project.” In some instances they referred to it as the “Special Redaction Project.” The training entailed PowerPoint slide presentations and video instruction on how to review the files.

Something simple like, “the white Sourh Afrikaaner emigré behind DOGE, whose illegal dismantling of USAID has so far caused an estimated [number] of deaths worldwide of which approximately [number] have occurred in Africa.”

Too long? Numbers could be easily updated by someone clever.

Still depressing that this isn’t THE story of his first year.
The numbers vary from study to study but hundreds of thousands of people have died because of Elon Musk and Marco Rubio illegally disbanding USAID — a body count on par with the first eight years of the Syrian civil war — In just seven months. It’s mass death that is simply unfathomable in scale.

Trump's secretary of transportation Sean Duffy is scolding Americans to "dress professionally" for holiday travel at airports and such.

Democratic lawmakers, this is said in love: if you're not mocking these assholes relentlessly over this, then what are we even doing here?

What did Comet Lemmon look like when it was at its best? One example is pictured here, featuring three celestial spectacles all at different distances. The closest spectacle is the snowcapped Meili Mountains of the Himalayas in China.

Once again: the House GOP has not passed a full appropriations package since Kevin McCarthy became speaker (and Biden was POTUS). Their failure to fulfill the basic functions of Congress didn't start with Trump. He just weaponized their inherent meekness.
