Let it sink in that a student with a legal visa was detained for six weeks just for writing an editorial. In America.

Btw, quite a message to be sending to tourists thinking of visiting the U.S.: “there is no law that protects you here, we will do to you whatever we like.” No wonder arrivals are falling off a cliff.

Stop mincing words with your maga Christian friends Ask simply: Why are white Afrikaners more important than Christians who will be tortured and murdered by their governments because of the name of Jesus?

Menendez Jr: They feel no weight of the law and no restraint on what they should be doing. And that was shown in broad daylight today when they not just arrested the Mayor of Newark but when they put their hands on two members of congress standing behind me. How is this acceptable?

If you think it's odd that the president can't clarify his position on the top marginal tax rate without a wandering digression into Ross Perot then you simply don't understand the majesty of The Weave

@timmiller.bsky.social did a scathing monologue addressed to Kristi Noem at the beginning of this video that is absolute perfection. Absolutely worth a watch. (Starts at 1:10) The whole video is great but Tim's monologue is amazing. youtu.be/Yb4qe66XJZQ?...

A Maybe the Tide is Turning(?!) story: ICE came up the other day when Hubby and I were talking. I was revving up to say my piece but was stopped short when he said, "I don't like what they're doing either. They're pretty gestapo-y, aren't they?" You could have knocked me over with a feather.

There are two reasons it's worse the second time around. The first: Trump is worse than he was eight years ago. The second: Those around him now are worse than those around him then. Today's Morning Shots from @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social, @eggerdc.bsky.social, and @sonnybunch.bsky.social:

Guys, we are getting close to my old dream of opening Alcatraz for the worst criminals in the country! There would be plenty of room for Trump and all his criminal cronies. And we could keep it open as a park and the spectators could pay for Trump's upkeep. Almost there!!!

He is so weird. I mean, 15 yo girls aren't generally known for playing with dolls but I thought the whole deal with conservatism was you have the freedom to buy as many damn dolls as you want. How about we apply this logic to MAGA dudes and their guns? The angry mewling would be deafening.

At ER with Em. Looks like she's having a pots flare and needs some iv fluids. But the Dr did not need us to spell Ehlers Danlos for him and is familiar enough that I'm comfortable with him. She feels pretty wretched so hoping they can get her perked up.

He and his family have been soliciting and taking bribes—and extortion payments—since winning the election. Crime after crime and abuse of power after abuse of power, because he, and the Republican Party, have made war on our republic.

If a cop has even the slightest concern that you might, somehow, potentially harm them, they can shoot you dead more or less with impunity. Unless you're committing an insurrection. In which case the people who Back the Blue get SUPER CONCERNED about police and the deadly use of force.

As an exGOP former FOX watcher, I can confirm Jess is 100% correct. At one point, I had fox all day, as background noise. I thought Obama was evil, the Dems a threat to the constitution. I didn't know better because fox was my only source of news. I eventually broke away but most won't or can't.
