Happy 31st anniversary to Space Ghost Coast to Coast! From it's first episode in 1994, to its final episode in 2004, Space Ghost Coast to Coast reinvented television as we know it with a golden mix of sureal antics and it's lampooning of pop culture.

“I was just following orders” was not a defense at Nuremberg. And it won’t be a defense in the future here.

Credit to these guys for getting out there. “I think America is sliding into authoritarianism but I am keeping my powder dry for a 2028 run” might be smart politics, but it also feels weak and selfish.
Bernie and AOC are on the very long list of liberal politicians who are mad as hell, but on the very short list of those who aren’t going to take it anymore: www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

They don’t care.

They don’t care that the Supreme Court ruled 9-0 to bring an innocent man home to his family.

They don’t care.

They think it’s funny.

I'm so tired of being terrified, and it's only been 3 months. I know that's their intent. But it already feels like things might be gone too far to save. How do we keep our sanity & save our country?

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.

UPDATE—Mahmoud's attorney says they do NOT know where he is.
They were first told he was sent to an ICE facility in Elizabeth, NJ. But when his 8-month-pregnant wife tried to visit him, she was told he's not there.
They've received reports he may be sent as far away as Louisiana.

In college, Laura Ingraham went to a Gay Students meeting. The next day, she published the names of everyone in attendance in the school newspaper, at a time when being outed was dangerous.

So, yeah, appointing a menace to gay people is a GREAT selection to lead our nation's [checks notes] arts.

Trump logic: We have to cut off life-saving aid to Ukraine bc Zelenskyy didn't wear a suit.

But we have to throw $2.4B no-bid contracts at Elon after he keeps getting caught lying about savings bc he wore a t-shirt.

President Elon The Ignorant called Social Security a "Ponzi scheme," prompting former SSA commissioner Martin O’Malley to warn of "collapse and an interruption of benefits."

If you rely on Social Security, know this: Musk is coming for your money.

Breaking on MSNBC:

The head of the FBI's New York Field Office has been forced out of the bureau — a month after he urged employees to "dig in" after the Trump admin removed senior FBI leaders and requested the names of agents who worked on Jan. 6 cases.
