You can’t say criminals don’t deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.

Really, is anyone surprised? The only logical thing for Trump to do is keep pushing forward into fascism. If he lets the courts win, if they come back from El Salvador, he's getting impeached. It's a forgone conclusion. He's crossed the Rubicon.

I dunno why everyone’s so excited about these dire wolves. They’re not extinct - I’ve been living with one for years. #DireWolf #DogsOfBlueSky #GoldenRetrievers

I learned this week that you can put our troops' lives in danger, compromise our national security, and violate the Espionage Act. And the government will do nothing. But if you write an editorial for your school newspaper that Trump doesn't like, you will be abducted on the street and disappeared.

Musk says he bought twitter to renew free speech but he forgot that advertisers also have a right to free speech and that includes saying it somewhere else.

I'm no lawyer, but it seems like discussing war plans in Signal outside a SCIF is maybe just a little bit worse than using a private server to send emails that weren't even marked as classified. But what do I know.

This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II. Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.

Why does #DuoLingo insist on having the worst, most disturbing app icons? This one’s tame compared to some of their other nightmare inducing designs.

I think Americans, blessed with relatively stable government for a long time, assume there is someone, some adult, who will step in and make things right before the President does anything REALLY bad. There’s not.
