It shouldn't have to be said but if you're law enforcement and you have to cover up your face while doing your job, you are not the good guys in this situation.

278 men, including Mr. Abrego Garcia, remain imprisoned under brutal conditions in El Salvador, without due process, for an indefinite period.

Don’t let this slip out of view.

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago.

But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today.

He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.

Bought a dishwasher from @lowes-official.bsky.social the day after Christmas. Two months of runaround later still not delivered and installed. When I called today to cancel the order, they tried to sell me a medic-alert necklace.

More and more, what I think happened is that Obama made them realize they couldn't compete, and they decided that they shouldn't have to.

Ideological messianism, prizing loyalty over competence, a dedication to outsourcing government functions to enrich political allies, a conviction that propaganda can overcome the bleakest realities, blithe dismissal of empiricism of any kind

Made the mistake of replying to someone who self-describes themselves as a "polymath" in their bio. Should have checked first.

Even if you don't blame the worst Covid response in the world on Trump (I do), ask yourself, "How could he have been any worse?"

The thing few pundits want to say is that, of all possible sets of policies, the total combination of monetary and fiscal policy that U.S. has pursued since March 2020 has produced probably something in the top 5% of possible economic outcomes given the circumstances.
A massive success.

It’s the crux of entire DEI smear.

Republicans assert it’s *easier* for someone like Harris to achieve what she has due to her gender and ethnicity (against literally all evidence) than it would be for a white man while the truth is it’s the complete opposite. Her hurdles are immense.
Imagine how smart and accomplished you have to be as a Black woman to be elected DA of a major city let alone AG of the biggest state let alone US Senator let alone VP.

Is there a better example of the requirements of Black women vs. White men than Harris vs. Trump?
