When they are arresting sitting mayors for legal protests of ilkigal kidnapping by the government you are well past the point where strongly worded letters or statements are going to do anything to stop this and you are going to have to put yourself on the line in the same way that that mayor did.

5 thoughts about Trump and Alcatraz: 1/ He launders bribes through cryptocurrency. 2/ He kills kids with vaccine disinformation. 3/ He's in Putin's pocket. 4/ He ships people to a foreign torture prison without due process. 5/ He loves to distract us with stunts like Alcatraz. Don't take the bait.

I do think we're getting close to Lucy leaving the football in place for me to kick it. She told me privately she was going to let me kick it. I think we're nearly there.

But but but the strategy memo from 20 different Democratic consultants told us to stay quiet about this stuff. Doesn't he have enough money to pay consultants to tell him to shut up?

A 14-year-old American boy and his two friends were gunned down by Israeli soldiers Sunday night. Their largely American village in the West Bank is wondering why Trump and the U.S. government have said so little about the killing of one of its citizens.

It's so funny how they rant and rave against Marxists and what not, but man, do they sound like failed Soviet leaders. "You have been reassigned from hospital doctor to toaster maker. Please go to factory at 5 a.m. for shift."

i have argued before that MAGA is recapitulating antebellum pro-slavery ideas about citizenship and bodily autonomy. one thing i am also thinking about, when it comes to the rendition of people to a foreign gulag, is the way it is reminiscent of the kidnapping of free blacks for sale into slavery

It is a sad day for the legal industry. Paul Weiss, didn't just bend a knee, it set a new standard for shameful capitulation. This is a stain on the firm, every one of its partners, and the entire legal profession.

Meanwhile over on the other place, rightwing free speech warriors (this guy is a former DeSantis campaign staffer) are calling for me to be denaturalized and deported because they don’t like my political speech. This is what fascism and racism looks like, folks.

Interesting move by Schumer to cave and disappoint everyone and then immediately go do an extended NYT interview explaining that actually he is even worse than we thought, let’s see if this pays off for him

We need a Navalny, not a Newsom. No offense intended against mainstream politicians like Newsom. It’s just that at this point we are way beyond the realm of normal bullshit politics.

Farmers are going to run to Congress for another handout to deal with the retaliatory tariffs and the answer from Dems has to be "no." This isn't out of retribution, it's because we can't keep creating escape hatches for GOP members of Congress. For the benefit of all, keep the pressure on them.

This is true of pretty much every critique of "woke culture" in the last decade. If you dig down through the layers & layers & layers of puffery & harumphing & table pounding, looking for actual substance, what you find is a few scattered, low-stakes anecdotes repeated ad infinitum.

The phenomenon of “leftist language policing” is 99% a product of centrists whining about it constantly. I almost never encounter it in real life and requests for vocabulary updates are typically non-binding guidelines for formal written documents.

Yes. But they are missing that much of this has to be performative. That’s what Trump is great at and Dems are awful at. You can’t just tell voters , you have to know how to sell voters. Trump gives sales pitches, Dems show charts. One goes viral. The other is ignored and forgotten

This is just sheer brazen criminality by DOJ. Adams gets federal corruption charges dropped not because there isn’t overwhelming evidence, but because he agrees to help Homan round up migrants. And Homan says the charges will be refiled if Adams doesn’t “come through.”
