All those dystopia books and shows were supposed to be a warning - not fucking blueprints

I am “actively looking at” pulling the waistband of Stephen Miller’s underpants up over his head and stealing his lunch money.
Stephen Miller says they are “actively looking at” suspending the writ of habeas corpus, which is only allowed when the US has been invaded or during an insurrection, which would not allow people to challenge their incarceration in court if they are arrested and detained.

There is in fact no way to make a case for a moral or political obligation to have children that does not degrade the status and dignity of women by claiming ownership their bodies as instruments for collective use.

Mahmoud Khalil was exercising his First Amendment rights, he is being deported due to political speech.
Take a step back, even if you disagree with his politics, as a US resident, he is protected by the First Amendment.

the main thing I've never understood about politics is the misplaced loyalty. did you know that if a person you voted for does something dumb or bad, you can simply opt not to defend them? it is very easy.

Lots of other places too. In my annual mtg with our section chief, she said she is "concerned" that I am having trouble separating what is going on at the federal level from my work.

I'm feeling like there's a lot of toxic positivity in mental health spaces right now. Maybe I'm just cranky, but being told you should be a special unicorn who's got superpowers and is so creative and can do so many things is not helpful when I'm struggling to remember what I'm even doing here rn.

It’s incredible that Cory Booker spoke for 25 hours. Sadly also incredible he did not say *one word* about *the ultimate* stress test of today: the detention of students speaking out against acts like Israel executing 15 medics in Gaza (also something Booker said nothing about)

They are just disappearing people off the street. Having a hard time thinking about literally anything else.
Not sure if this has been shared here yet, but this is video of Rumeysa Ozturk's arrest posted by WCVB. It's terrifying.

The idea that government should be run like a business is a myth that won’t die. We’re seeing the fallacy of it every day, I argue here:

In The Best and the Brightest, David Halberstam demonstrated that private-sector skills have no place in government.

In retrospect, the weeks between the election and Donald Trump’s first executive order seem like a phoney war. Everyone knew that something…

White people especially, in the media will scream about illegality, congressional approval, etc.
This is not about law. This is about power.
The full weight of America’s raw power has been used to destroy progress around the world.
And now it’s boomeranging back here.
