Thank you for all you do, and your consistent support for ethical positions and practices both professionally and personally. I have supported you directly for years and never regretted a penny.

Holy crap. Trump will make the FCC crucify Jimmy Kimmel for this.

If this was a declared foreign war, treating POWs this way, filming them for propaganda purposes, would be a war crime.

Taken just a few minutes ago outside the ICE facility in Portland that Trump claims is under siege. My message to Donald Trump is this: we don’t need you here. Stay the hell out of our city.

I received texts from her within hours of Kirk’s death. Blocked her immediately. I’ve never voted R for anything, and have worked on D campaigns for decades. She must have just used the widest net text list available. The grift must go on

The discovery of the drawing Tr*mp said didn’t exist—and sued the WSJ over—isn’t surprising. He is the same person we have know him to be for decades, with numerous accusations of sexual assault, walking in on Miss Teen USA participants, etc. This is what people voted for.

This formulation is popular: contrasting SCOTUS' intolerance of race as an admissions factor with SCOTUS' tolerance of race as a detention factor. There are, in fact, doctrinal, historical, and logical distinctions between the positions, that one could use to dismiss this comparison.

But...

"Harvard can't use race as a factor in admissions, but ICE can use race as a factor in detentions" is a retrenchment essentially to a pre-Civil War understanding of the Constitution. It's vanishingly few steps removed from "Latinos have no rights which the white man is bound to respect."

They are also using the shadow docket so they don’t leave a record, and the ‘rules’ can snap back if Dems win the next election.

Frankly, I have seen enough.

Secretary Kennedy should be fired immediately.

He's destroying the agency responsible for keeping diseases (like measles and Ebola) under control. This is deadly serious.

Somebody to Shove by Soul Asylum. The lyrics are almost purpose written: ‘I’m waiting by the phone, waiting for someone to call me up … cause I want somebody to shove.’

When you’re running from a bear, you don’t need to be faster than the bear, just faster than your companions. 🤣

The timing of all this is interesting, since much of the specifics about Trump's involvement with pedophilia have been known for years. Perhaps now the costs of his tariff policies outweigh any perceived remaining benefit to the moneyed interests that backed him.

I keep referring people back to this because it keeps coming up.

People ask me how long things this regime does will be allowed or tolerated and I keep asking “by whom”? Dad is not getting home later. The most charitable view of SCOTUS is that they have decided to be hands-off….

I think Americans, blessed with relatively stable government for a long time, assume there is someone, some adult, who will step in and make things right before the President does anything REALLY bad.

There’s not.

Oddly enough I have never worried about the job satisfaction of the Stasi or other state equivalents.
