Books, dogs, birds, cooking, and gardening are my thing. Lots of silly pics of our two Biewer Terriers, Merlin & Sonny.

Coco Gauff telling the ball kids “you guys are awesome!” and that of course they can touch the cup. There are different levels of winning; opening space to lift up others is the top.

Rounding up people at Home Depot looking for day work and small local restaurants means you're not raiding the factories, meat packing plants, and job sites of big Republican donors.

Yes. I have heard this from both liberal and conservative people with sources inside the agency. It’s not just the pushback, it’s also that many officers want to believe they’re targeting the “bad guys” and this admin is telling them “screw you, grab families.” Genuinely, morale is way down.

Assaulting cops has to be wrong all the time. Not situationally. If you’re going to criticize an unknown number of people in Los Angeles throwing things at immigration authorities, I certainly hope you didn’t defend members of the January 6th mob beating the hell out of police officers.

So carrying a Mexican flag during a peaceful protest will get you arrested but carrying a confederate flag during a deadly insurrection will get you a pardon. Got it.

Cannot stress enough that this is a pitiful action by a weak, scared, pathetic group of insecure, wannabe authoritarians, and they should be mocked until the end of time for wanting to bring in the military over some people protesting them at a Home Depot.

Happy Sunday morning. Take care of yourself and check in on loved ones.

We hear about how pro-immigrant side is extreme. There is literally nothing more extreme than this statement. Being willing to sacrifice the country’s foundations for an evil goal

Countries around the world need to start asking, how can the U.S. possibly host the World Cup in 2026? How would foreign visitors feel safe coming here?

I always think of this 2018 oral history of Stephen Miller’s high school years, in which almost all his peers remember him as loathsome, racist, oppositional, inaccurate, and constantly playing the victim card lamag.com/politics/ste...

All through last year, MSNBC kept running various panel discussions in which voters from groups which usually vote for Democrats and who lived in swing states explained why they didn’t think their vote was important. Let me explain why that vote that people didn’t bother to cast was important.

You know what I see? I see a community reacting to gangs of armed masked men who look like nativist vigilantes, not legitimate, accountable law enforcement.

Undocumented immigrants pay almost $100 billion in taxes each year. The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes each year. Stop pretending that immigrants are the ones taking advantage of taxpayers.

I loathe Musk as much as anyone else but for a sitting president to openly threaten a private citizen over what political donations he or she chooses to make is a reminder of how authoritarian this country is becoming by the day - by the hour even!

"It's really hard to fathom that the guy making my pizza for 25 years is a gangster and a terrorist, and the person who shows up in an unmarked car wearing a mask and body armor comes to take him away is somehow the good guy” www.wnep.com/article/news...

“‘…the UK’s longstanding assumptions about global power balances and structures are no longer certain’ – a rare acknowledgment in a British government document of how far and how fast Trumpism is affecting foreign policy certainties.”

This is true and probably the best way of combating the mass deportations - need to show people that it’s everybody’s freedom at stake

Once again, if you expect this Supreme Court to protect you or your privacy rights from the ongoing slide into dictatorship, you may be disappointed.

So we can't wear masks to protect ourselves and our loved ones in a deadly pandemic, but ICE agents can wear masks to hide their identities when they're terrorizing children, grandmas and other innocents. What a pitiful state this country is in.

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.”

I can't stress enough how wrong and disingenuous the most recent wave of COVID revisionism is. The *only period* when Democratic counties had higher death rates was April-May 2020. From June 2020 onwards, Republican laxity and denialism were the most powerful force driving deaths.

Dems have a real opportunity to portray Trump as wasting resources picking up Moms and constructions workers rather than going after real criminals

Columbia completely caved and are getting their accreditation pulled anyways. Anybody that doesn't go nuclear on these people when they even sniff at you is nuts. *COLUMBIA NO LONGER MEETS ACCREDITATION STANDARDS, US SAYS

This is pretty devastating. Lutnick admits that tariffs were never about reciprocity, eliminating foreign trade barriers, or negotiating better deals. They just don't like international trade. Period. He even says about imports: "we don't want other people making them."

The House bill adds more to deficits than any recent major legislation — even covid stimulus. My @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social Chart

When it comes to the debt, the GOP needs to learn that tax cuts are just as irresponsible as spending increases. My @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social Chart

This is wrong. This is illegal. This is un-American.

When you put two narcissists together, they're gonna collide eventually.

Shitty edgelord tech bros high as a kite and stealing your personal data

Man, I warned people about this guy YEARS ago and everybody was like, whatever Spiers, you’re terminally online, internet brain poisoned, this cannot possibly be important

this is something I’ve been thinking about a lot we are not, as a country, the kind of place where armed goons in masks kidnapping people in broad daylight is a common experience and I don’t think most people are going to like it very much when it becomes significantly more common

There is no way Ukraine could trust the current US government with info that they had operatives behind enemy lines in Russia to execute this operation. Telling that to the Trump admin would put their lives in even greater danger than they already were.
