Either we have a masked Secret Police, or we have Jan. Sixers cosplaying as a masked Secret Police. If they can't show a badge, is self defense legal?

This statement from Jonathan Joss's husband is heart breaking. No, headline writers, he wasn't "killed in an argument with a neighbor." He was *deliberately murdered* for being gay right after his dog was decapitated. Bet the murderer calls himself a "Christian." THIS is why Pride is important.

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

In San Antonio today, plainclothes ICE officers (not masked this time) arrested, handcuffed, and zip-tied a family of five (yes, ALL of them, including the little children) coming out of their immigration court hearing — which ICE had just had dismissed. www.mysanantonio.com/news/local/a...

Like I said a few times before, it was NEVER about campus protests or anti-semitism. It was always about seizing control of higher education through govt blackmail and coercion.

Interesting points made at that West Point speech. Out of curiosity, what happens if the President refuses to comply with an Amendment 25 neuropsychological assessment?

Visiting my oldest in Brooklyn, and I can see Lady Liberty 🗽 lit up in the bay, torch bright, from my hotel room. Thinking about what we were all taught she stood there for, and wondering what she stands for now, if those seeking freedom are no longer welcome here. I no longer feel welcome here.

MAKE NOISE ON THIS ONE‼️ They didn’t just deport him—they sent him to CECOT in El Salvador. Agelviz came here legally through the refugee resettlement program—fully vetted. But when he landed in Houston, CBP snatched him over a tattoo: a clock and a rose. No charges. No record. Just a suspicion.

If this person sat next to you on a bus or train and started ranting about Bruce Springsteen in this way, you would get up and move to a different seat. In the United States, we have him the nuclear codes.

Trump called the new Syrian President a "young, attractive, tough guy" with a "very strong past". That past was KILLING US troops, civilians, women, and children. He was in Al-qaeda. We put a $10M bounty on his head. www.cnn.com/2025/05/14/m...

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com Three Yale professors who have written extensively on authoritarianism are leaving the U.S. “We’re like people on the Titanic saying our ship can’t sink,” Marci Shore said. “And what you know as a historian is that there is no such thing as a ship that can’t sink.”

@sarasbookmacarons.bsky.social Amazing. I want to read, and eat, everything you post, and reread the familiar friends. Joy!

Struggling with the whole "We must welcome Maga as they wake from their fugue mental state and return to reality with regret" thing with open arms. I do not Forgive and Forget, because I don't have amnesia. I Recover and Remember, and I remember being called awful names and pain wished my way.

Another day of reminding everyone of Carl Sagan’s eerily accurate warning about the dangers of not being able to ask skeptical scientific questions to those in power or authority.
