it will get papered over, but trump briefing johnson and thune but not schumer or jefferies is another example of congress having essentially given up on any pretense of oversight — this would not be in any way acceptable to republicans if the situation were reversed.

This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.

By disregarding his own intelligence advisors that Iran was not about to have nuclear weapons, Donald Trump has, without any justification whatsoever, provoked Iran to retaliate against American troops in the Middle East and American civilians at home. He is a irresponsible, simpleminded idiot.

i do think there is a rot throughout our society, driven by the policy stasis that has lasted from the last half century or so, that we cannot make things worse for ourselves, that fucking up and electing the wrong government will just mean things chug along as normal at worse

THIS JUST HAPPENED: Brad Lander walked through the fire, got burned, and came back with a fucking gasoline can. ICE arrested him — now he’s escorting migrants right past them, again. Most politicians wouldn’t show up. He showed out.

This is great for the rest of the world and absolutely the worst thing imaginable for us In 2007 when the financial system crashed the U.S. Treasury put a branch of 10 year T-bills at the window for less than inflation and they sold out immediately We are about to Find Out a whole bunch of things

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds. He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings. He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights. This is political intimidation.

The global protests BEFORE the Iraq War were so massive they were “the largest protest event in human history.” I was at the NYC march. That’s how widely & clearly understood it was that the invasion was wrong. But media/pols would rather rewrite history than admit wrongdoing. They’re doing it again

i might put this differently and say that it’s always been a struggle, but if you’re under 30 years old, i could understand if you think elites have always been this immune from consequences

My wife saw this. If you do this, be sure to ask the correct questions to identify the immigration enforcement agents. They will use the fact that you likely don’t know the right questions to ask to justify not telling you. No, I am not joking.

Cannot stress enough that the protest in DTLA was completely nonviolent until the local police departments showed up Been in contact with multiple indies currently on the ground who confirmed this. Cops pushed, then started firing riot munitions indiscriminately

Nobody is rioting. Nobody is breaking any laws. These are cops in my city of Las Vegas just assaulting and arresting anyone on Fremont Street who looks at them. This is fascism.

I would like my state, every state, to mandate badges, name plates, no masks, for all law enforcement in the state. And if federal agents try to break the mandate, arrest them, then let the courts sort it out.

Following today's massive "No Kings" march in Portland, federal agents have begun firing tear gas and less-lethal munitions at a crowd of roughly 500 people at the ICE facility on Macadam Avenue. Stay tuned to the Mercury for the latest.

This is a great piece about the underlying anxiety of hypernormalisation; “That funny feeling,” as Bo Burnham called it, of having to continue churning on with your jobs, meetings, chores, whatever obligations are required of you by the very system that is ever-more-dramatically collapsing around us

We should've made a bigger national crisis of someone breaking into Nancy Pelosi's home & trying to kill her husband. But then, we should've made a bigger national crisis about hundreds of someones breaking into the Capitol & trying to steal an election. But then, we should've done lots of things.
