Can we retire the phrase “breaks silence” please? It’s not as though people take a vow of silence, go into a cloistered period of deep introspection, discover something of great import and then mindfully elect to speak again.

An innocent man was “mistakenly” taken and sent to a foreign prison. The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 he must be brought home — yet he’s still there.

Every day this administration shows just how vile and lawless it remains.

Bring him home!

AOC: We must acknowledge the terrifying moment we are in right now. What we are hearing and seeing with our own eyes is, in fact, happening. We are watching our neighbors, students, and friends being fired, targeted, and disappeared. It is real.

Today in Cosplaying Christians…
Once again, we fought a whole damn ass war against the British to prevent this kind of thing
“The Trump administration has ordered State Department employees to report on any instances of coworkers displaying ‘anti-Christian bias’ as part of its effort to implement a sweeping new order on supporting employees of Christian faith.”

Excellent article. If people - all of us - don’t go along an authoritarian cannot succeed.

“The key to challenging authoritarian regimes, Stephan said, is for citizens to decline to participate in immoral and illegal acts.”
If you read one article this weekend...or this week, or this month...let it be this one from the New Yorker by @amifieldsmeyer.bsky.social and @juliaangwin.com. It is indeed a "practical guide to courage in Trump's age of fear" and it couldn't be more important. www.newyorker.com/news/the-wee...

Incredible statement by Mahmoud Khalil that links his incarceration to the fates of other immigrants subject to the same system, to those of Palestinians in Gaza and West Bank being killed and imprisoned for their voice. No wonder they see him as a danger to their tyranny.
EXCLUSIVE: In his first public remarks since being detained by federal immigration authorities, Mahmoud Khalil criticizes the conditions in US detention and says he is being targeted by the Trump administration for his political beliefs.

At this point, anti-DEI just means racist and sexist.

I now understand that governments aren’t taken over by brilliant masterminds with a meticulously crafted plan, but rather by incels (albeit for wealth and power) & low IQ neanderthals using shock, awe & brute force, their army of pious christian nationalists queued up to support the antichrist.

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.
