Correct. This should be *THE* national story right now.

Earlier today ICE agents hit someone with a car and tear gassed a neighborhood, sparking several fires and disrupting businesses. Immigrants, by contrast, did not.

This is an incredible thread

AIDS Memorial Quilt on display October 11-13 1996 on the National Mall in Washington D.C. Let us never forget.

immigrants belong in our community. ICE doesn't.

This seems like a great day to remind Bluesky that Stephen Miller lived four doors down from me freshman year And our student council person asked him (and everyone) to sign a birthday card for our dorm’s janitor And he threw a tantrum and wrote an op-ed about not socializing with “the help.”

You don’t need a think tank to figure this out. Every single person in the world wants to be safe and comfortably afford housing, groceries, and healthcare. It’s really that simple.

Gut punch of a story on why poor white folks continue to vote GOP. “Even those of us born poor and white with an outhouse and a Sears catalog are afforded a level of privilege over those we’re told we’re superior to. Wink wink, you’re not on the bottom like them, so ‘vote for me in November.’”

It's not that Biden's decline while in office, and the effort to hide it, isn't a story. It's just that the guy *currently* in office is also in serious decline, dangerously so, and was even before he was elected, and there oddly doesn't seem to be the same fervor to cover that story.

I disagree with the AJC employee who goes to my shul about a lot of things. I also don't want them to be shot dead while attending Jewish events. This isn't hard.

A major escalation of the ongoing weaponization of the federal government against institutions that are deemed insufficiently obedient. This isn't about Harvard, specifically: This is an authoritarian regime weaponizing the state to force civil society institutions into submission.

ZELDIN: I understand you're an aspiring fiction writer. I see why. SCHIFF: I understand your view that you can cut half of the agency and it won't affect people's health or their water or their air. That to me is a big fiction ... you could give a rat's ass about how much cancer your agency causes

AOC: When you wake up in the morning, you will realize that you voted to defund planned parenthood and take away health care from 13.7 million Americans and when this country wakes up there will be consequences to pay for this

Trump officials' showings at hearings today were disasters, but it doesn't make headlines bc the media's default assumption is that Rs are clownish rascals. But if Dems didn't know what was happening at their agencies or what habeas corpus is, it'd be front page news. This is a key media asymmetry.

I said it would get worse very quickly. By tomorrow we will have completed the most dangerous & frightening 24 hours thus far of Trump 2.0. Just to name a few: 1. Defiance of a court order by sending migrants to Sudan without due process (despite clear DP decision SCOTUS) & Dist. CT. order.
