This is true but it's also true that it seems a whole extra level of authoritarianism to have a Senator go through metal detectors to a press conference in a federal building by a Cabinet member who he has direct oversight over and get manhandled and cuffed for merely asking her a question.

I hate it when pundits, journos, legal figures lead with "Is it legal?" or "Can Trump be stopped?" or "Are we slipping into autocracy?" Lead with: •THIS IS NOT LEGAL •TRUMP MUST BE STOPPED •AUTOCRACY IS HERE Sheesh.

... the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. In Defense of Women (1918) HL Mencken Mencken was right about some things.

Not taking anything away from Senator Padilla because he was treated atrociously But I JUST want to remind everyone that the Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Black woman, was just indicted for just asking questions at an ICE detention center in her state Keep that same energy of support for her

At the ICE raid and subsequent community resistance in Paramount, California this morning, this skater kid ate dozens of munitions from Border Patrol agents, walked away slowly and flipped them off.

The Knicks would have to buy Kidd out his contract. They are better off with a different coach. Idk why they and Dallas continue to swap players like cheap floozies. I am not sold on Kid!

This is my favourite anime of the season. Fearless writing, whiskey brewing, wild humour, wedding/funerals, this show has it all.
