Who does right-wing media claim is “funding” the immigrant rights anti-ICE protest? Stay with me… Radical jihadist are funneling money from Qatar to Mexican drug cartels, international bankers are funneling money to left-wing groups, and Chinese communists are funneling money to organized labor…

Had a civil but troubling conversation with two 60-something vocal Trump supporters in the hometown bagel place. Both said Trump critics were "radical leftist Democrats" forcing kids to be gay and trans. One was more sanguine about civil war than reaching unity, saying "We can all get our guns"

It's an illegal use of active-duty troops to enforce domestic policy, it's been a key foundation of our system of laws for 150 years, indeed a blatant disregard for the law, & that's how every headline should describe it.

If you're expecting an attack and an emergency in response to your "preemptive strike"... then it wasn't much of a preemptive strike, was it?

We drill into military officers that Members of Congress have Constitutional oversight rights, Members outrank four-stars in protocol, and even Congressional staffers are treated like generals/admirals. To see sworn federal officers manhandle and handcuff a U.S. Senator... I'm still shook up.

A lot of media outlets and brands are doing gymnastics to indulge people who exult in irrational, antisocial, violent, fascist behavior that would have been called out as such in any other epoch. Many of them are in government, but that doesn't make them saner or more respectable. Your coverage does

When a cabinet member announces "We are using the military to liberate an American city from its elected leaders," where do you go from there. What is left to say. The idea of that being anything short of a near-universal "Wait, what the fuck is going on" moment proves how far we've backslid.

And Bundy supporters showed up armed to the teeth and were openly sighting in on federal employees. None of this seemed overly troubling to those on the right. Imagine if these images were of LA protestors aiming in on LAPD officers.

Possible to start to tell a unified story: "Trump is personally too old, crazy, and confused to run things, so at any given time the question is which co-president is in charge. At first it was Musk, & we got the crazy chaotic DOGE era. Then Navarro: a trade war that crashed markets. Now Miller..."
