Grown assed adults expecting holidays to be like when they were a kid is a great microcosm of the problems we have as a society today. Nostalgia is a toxic impulse. There is no "the way things used to be", you were just younger and less informed and had fewer responsibilities.

Can someone ask Rubio why the US needs to "respond" to this thing that appears to be a wholly domestic judicial issue in Brazil?

Political violence is bad because civil conflict is absolutely fucking terrible for everyone. It empowers the worst people within a society and feeds into endless cycles of escalating violence that get harder and harder to stop.

Yes. Game theory 101 is that a tit-for-tat strategy is best to disincentivize your partner from defecting.

Some questions for D's:
Should the next Democratic president fire FBI Director Kash Patel, even if there is no immediate pretext? Why or why not?
Should a Democratic Congress attempt to remove Bove from the bench since he apparently perjured himself during his confirmation hearing? 1/

The thing that basically everyone left of center gets wrong, from the Abundance Bros to the DSA left, but the far right understands deeply and intuitively, is that politics is about social dynamics and peoples’ emotional states far more than it is about anything material and measurable

Personally speaking. I think we should disband an agency that thinks it's acceptable to just rock up to a random park carrying m4s while wearing masks and full kit.
Frankly this feels like a show of force in many ways. CBP has their own press guys here, lots of their own folks taking photos of bystanders

There are still men in a concentration camp in El Salvador. It seems quite likely Trump will send more people there. We cannot let that fact fall into the memory hole.

ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.
