I never thought of it quite like this, but the world seems to be made up of two kinds of people. Those who find the diversity in the world to be comforting and approach difference with curiosity even if they are cautious, and the opposite. Those scared by difference, who go in assuming the worst.

I love living in a city full of immigrants and tons and tons of people who are not at all like me and not like each other. It makes us all better and it makes our city better. I know I’m preaching to the choir by saying this on the lib app but I sometimes just get so overwhelmed by how special it is

This has nothing to do with crime. This is an attempt to crush political dissent.

Never before, in our entire 250 year history, has the military or immigration agents been used like this. It's dystopian, illegal, and it should stop.

My only question about that is why isn’t everyone?
We proved with Jimmy Kimmel that money talks. Why aren’t we shutting the whole damn thing down?

"So, Democrats have three words for this: no fucking way. It's literally life or death. We will not let Republicans blow up our health care system."

This is, hands down, the best comms work Chuck Schumer has done in YEARS. Surprisingly good.

A great suggestion for @democrats.org to get Adelita Grijalva sworn in!

I would think a formal request would have to be made.
The Speaker cannot refuse to seat anyone, and federal judges can administer the oath of office.
That being the case, Rep. Grijalva should submit paperwork to the closest federal judge to get it done, Jeffries and Schumer should support the move.

The Washington Post is Fox News in print

Last week, new WaPo opinion editor Adam O'Neal quietly carried out another purge of staffers, cutting editors and major names like Marc Fisher and David Hoffman, among others.

Meanwhile, he welcomed three conservatives to the section.

Post Traumatic Disorder
Adam O’Neal says he’s bringing “intellectual diversity” to The Washington Post’s opinion pages—but the moves he’s making behind the scenes tell a different story.

Last month, both ICE and CBP bought weapons and ammunition at an unprecedented rate.

Obviously not the main point here, but it's interesting how this is framed as content rather than policy.

"BREAKING" is typically what journalists or influencers say when they have a big story -- not what government officials say when they launch "undercover" operations

Trump on pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell: Haven't heard the name in so long. I’ll take a look at it. I’ll speak to the DOJ. A lot of people have asked me for pardons.

Reporter: But she’s convicted of sex trafficking

Trump: I’ll have to take a look at it.

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.

If U.S. states have any degree of sovereignty, if there’s any states’ rights at all, it is the right not to be invaded by the armed forces of another U.S. state.
