This video is the perfect encapsulation of the illegal, thuggish, unprovoked, violent conduct of ICE. Rep. @benniethompson.bsky.social, I trust that you and the House Homeland Security Committee will have interest in this.

Several people I know have used the word "beautiful" for this piece, and that's exactly right. A beautifully phrased essay on the bind we're in— until we aren't.

What the hell @kaine.senate.gov ? How can you try to rein in this administration one moment and then aid and abet them and treat them as legitimate the next? These nominees will be confirmed without you, so a vote is message. But for the life of me, I can't imagine what it would be. Help me out.
7 Democrats just voted today to confirm a Trump judicial nominee who refused to say what happened on January 6 or answer who won the 2020 election:

the administration wants to frame this (bizarrely) as law enforcement. but if law enforcement conducted a raid for a suspect and killed 40 people, including an unknown number of unarmed civilians, it would be treated as a clear disaster like Waco.
NYT:
At least 40 people were killed in the US attack on Venezuela, including military personnel and civilians.

The White House has been caught.
The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.
In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

- You open fire with an automatic weapon in a room full of cops? Blanks or not, you don't leave there alive.

The Princess Bride is my all-time favorite movie, so I could easily post any scene from it. But, for some reason, the minute I heard the Rob Reiner news, I thought of the hands-down best scene from The Wolf of Wall Street.

Since Stephen Miller is in the midst of another of his Aryans-only trantrums, we should note that his family are 20th century immigrants from the shtetl of Antopol (Антопаль) then in the Hrodna gubernia of Russia. Applying his immigration rules, they would all have perished in the Holocaust.
