Seven years ago, Pauline Shanks Kaurin left a good job as a tenured professor, uprooted her family, and moved to teach military ethics at the Naval War College. Now she's leaving in protest of policies she can't support and that make her job impossible. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Brownshirt ICE rolled up to my local Home Depot today and got the F-off treatment. Shoutout to this woman because this is exactly how it’s done. No badge, face covered = F*ck all the way off. 📌 It’s on us citizens to stand up for our vulnerable brothers and sisters.

"They say with Trump accusation is confession. Having warned during the 2024 campaign that Joe Biden, then Kamala Harris, would trigger “world war three”, Trump is now offering a perilous test of that proposition." My take. www.ft.com/content/c689...

It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this

America has no legal basis for attacking Iran. Doing so will not stop Iran from building nuclear weapons. In fact, it almost guarantees Iran will do so. If you wanted Iran to never get a bomb, unless Israel and US plan to occupy the country, Trump just made it more likely than ever.

I’m not sure why Gavin Newsome doesn’t activate the rest of his army guard to prevent the president from it or force him to overrule it…. Then fight on the second amendment guaranteeing a state a right to a militia. How can a state have a militia if the president can simply federalize it

ICE is a much greater threat to this country than illegal immigrants. The current administration ia by far the greatest threat this country faces. The problem is not st our borders. It is in the White House.

Weird they're showing Swan Lake on Fox right now

Overheard: Apparently Zelenskyy had some cards, and he didn’t need a suit.

If I were JD Vance, I would consider whether God is perhaps sending me some fairly specific messages

2018 retweet from the now Pope on Trump's family separation

“And I’m like, what do you mean, you ‘do your own research’? You running a double-blind study in your living room, dawg?” - A guy walking ahead of me with his friends on a NYC sidewalk in 2021, also my favorite overheard dialogue of the entire pandemic

You think the bond markets didn’t like the tariffs, they really won’t like this ….. Also real authoritarian stuff

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

Donald Trump is deporting legal US residents to a foreign gulag, and he has stated publicly that he is moving on to citizens next. This is a Constitutional crisis. Will a single Republican stand up for our Constitution?
