I can’t speak for every city, but here in LA, ICE bounty hunters aren’t going after gang members. They’re hunting the vulnerable: gardeners, street vendors, day laborers. Easy money, no risk. Folks need to stop pretending this is about crime. @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social—thank you for your words.

“You’re a pretty contrarian guy.” “I’m not a contrarian guy!” In some ways, talking to a toddler is a bit like talking to a libertarian edgelord. Or, more accurately, talking to a libertarian edgelord is like talking to a toddler.

In 2018 Trump tore up the nuclear containment deal with Iran that President Obama negotiated . Trump said he would engage all nations in a new deal. Wrong. He didn’t. So here we are.

Much as I would not dare to predict the consequences of this war, I do think we can summarize it thusly so far: A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.

Now Trump & RFK plan on removing the bans on asbestos! As a surgeon who has spent decades seeing patients with mesothelioma & other forms of asbestosis, I'm gobsmacked that anyone could be so blindingly STUPID..! Let's opt to bring back polio, smallpox, measles, ... oh, hang on - they already are!

Remember all the assholes in 2003 who insisted that we’d be greeted as liberators and called you anti-American for opposing the war and then changed their minds many years later to pretend like they always opposed the war? They’re doing the same schtick again.

Newsom: "He's been a stone cold liar about what he said we talked about. He never discussed the National Guard. Period. Full stop. I would love to share with you what he actually talked about. It would send shivers up your spine."

It’s disgusting that the Pentagon went from being run by a highly decorated 4-star General to a trashy tacky rapist drunkard buffoon from Fox Propaganda. That goes for everything Dept in the US Govt now. American democracy is in mortal danger and it’ll take decades to repair the damage.

We're walking right into it. No one appears to have any idea how to stop it. We know where it's headed. Martial law. The end of democracy. No more elections. A waking nightmare. I promise to amplify anyone offering legal, workable solutions. I haven't found any yet. And the left is leaderless.

THE STAKES HAVE NEVER BEEN HIGHER IN AN OFF-YEAR ELECTION The fight to against Trumpism runs through 2025’s elections for governorships and mayoralties. State and local government can be a bulwark against abuses of power at the federal level. Voters need to strengthen that bulwark in 2025.
