“In interviews, general counsels expressed concern about whether they could trust law firms that struck deals to fight for them in court and in negotiating big deals if they weren’t willing to stand up for themselves against Trump.”

Law enforcement officers should never cover their faces when making arrests or conceal their identities (unless they are working undercover). They work for us. We have a right to know who they are. These face coverings are frightening & unAmerican, as though they're ashamed of what they're doing.

Armed FBI agents knocked on the doors of two pub defenders at SEVEN AM, asking to talk w them, having made no earlier effort to reach out. Both PDs represented ppl detained by ICE. FBI said they “wanted to reach out before work.” Which is nakedly not true. HARASSING DEFENSE LAWYERS IS REALLY BAD.

No, for so many, many reasons, but including this: An extremely strong norm I acquired from my punk rock days was that if somebody does stuff like stiff-armed salutes they are banished from the scene.

There’s an untreated addict running around unattended and unfettered within the US government and he’s getting away with it because he’s a white man who conned Wall Street into valuing his businesses at billions of dollars.

Unpopular take for Bluesky, I know, but as someone who would actually like a leaner federal government, I’m sad this administration is making that whole idea radioactive for at least a generation by doing it in the stupidest, most corrupt possible way.

Couple thoughts on this Ukrainian operation: 18 months of planning with no leaks is crazy impressive. The intelligence picture, the OpSec, and the execution were all top notch. I’m curious to see what else they have planned, and yes I’m worried about how Russia will respond.

I also think that some people hear "be friends" with fascists. And I have to say that "no" you do not in fact have to be friends with them because fascists aren't transformed by your "friendship." They have to be DEFEATED politically. And what I notice is that some people are uncomfortable with that

Ukraine could’ve launched the attack on civilian population centers, like Russia does to them daily. Instead, they chose a strictly military target - the very bombers being used to kill Ukrainian civilians. A brilliant operation solely designed to defend their own people.

what makes neofascism so obscene and galling is that, whereas classical fascism grew out of the calamities of war, disease, immiseration and revolution, neofascism comes out of an era of unprecedented peace, abundance, freedom, and security

Chris Murphy on Joni Ernst: "I think everybody in that audience knows they're going to die, they would just rather die in old age at 85 or 90 instead of dying at 40. And the reality is that when you lose your healthcare, you are much more at risk of early death."

The interesting thing about people dragging the folks in that NYT piece who said that they didn’t vote for moms to get deported is that the article is about how these women are organizing for a member of their community, aggressively and openly, and actually, that’s good.

They absolutely did vote for this. They just assumed the moms deported would be mom's they didn't know and so could, without challenge, view as an evil and unworthy Other it would be okay to inflict cruelty on. A lot of voters are actually bad people and we have to stop pretending otherwise.

Moral progress happens less because we develop new arguments about which actions are moral or immoral and more because we expand the range of people we believe moral rules ought to constrain us regarding. The mission of the Trump administration is to reverse moral progress by narrowing that range.

A generation of Tea Party Republicans were elected screaming about deficits and the national debt - and they all turned out to be liars, willing to blow out the debt to serve corporate donors. But a few nuts like Rand Paul were actually honest in their insane zeoltry.
