This is very, very bad. Am working on a write-up, but let’s just say that firing military leaders for blatantly political reasons is wildly inappropriate; firing all the too lawyers is ominous; firing them all at the same time is a terrifying five-alarm fire

Yes, it is entirely correct to point out that ICE officers do not have any legal authority to break into somebody’s home unless they get a judicial warrant; which they generally cannot do, because judges only issue warrants for probable cause of crimes, not immigration law violations.

One day, I swear to you, these signs will be looked on in the same way that people look at "Whites Only" signs from the Jim Crow South. We just have to get there, somehow.

Unless people face facts and do better, catastrophe is coming. We can fix this. There is hope. It won't be easy.

Trump ran his campaign on a pack of lies. A lot of his voters wanted to return to the world of 2019. That was never going to happen, but he has chosen to burn through whatever political capital he had as quickly as he could.

There are many mysteries and ambiguities in life but the nature of this gesture is not among them. It's a Nazi salute.

They need a lot more with the USA being aligned with Russia, but yes. First steps.

Posted this on X earlier. Not kidding, for those of you who work in the press and may have left your account alive over there for DM'ing purposes.

he is going to be have to forced out. its unclear what the mechanism will be. maybe it will be massive protests. maybe it will be palace intrigue. or a combination of the two. but he did not leave willingly the last time and he is signaling he won't leave willingly this time either

Never in my life could I imagine that Ukraine, as a result of a war with Russia (!) under the leadership of Zelensky (!!), would become the leader of the free world (!!!!!) amid looming authoritarian swift in the United States and its growing confrontation with Europe (aAAAaaAAAaaaAaAAa!!!)

The crowd recognized it, responded by cheering, and he acknowledged that in return. It isn't some sneaky thing a few elites are caught up in, dogwhistling to the fringes. It is the base of their movement. Because they're Nazis. Sincere, unambiguous fans of Hitler and everything that goes with that.

That's another thing about this administration is WHO THE FUCK IS THE CONSTITUENCY FOR ANY OF THEIR ACTIONS. It genuinely appears they have not thought that far and that is SO FUCKING INSANE

when Trump burst onto the scene just saying “I’m going to do the best things,” all the savvy pundits laughed - your lies need to be better than that! but they do not

The past ten years has just been the same clutch of morons and apologists insisting that Trump would never cross that line and then shuffling along with him to insist that he would never cross that next one.

Yup. I think even the most cynical among us will be shocked by just how petty and unmoored the FBI will get.

So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trump’s DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced.

One of my cases was featured in consumer reports, which is great! On the other hand, it's framed under how the destruction of the federal government is going let more people be ripped off, so that's not great! www.consumerreports.org/consumer-pro...

I continue to have a great amount of (possibly stupid) faith in the idea of America and the American people While I waver between depression and optimism about five times a day, the latter is more helpful; the former merely immobilizes

This is like Senators asking for Trump to release funding for their pet projects. When you campaigned for a personalist presidency you have turned yourself into a beggar seeking the King’s favor rather than a citizen who can be confident of equal treatment for all.

A good thing to do if you are flailing a bit right now (as who is not??) is to get in touch with your own values, the things that you find life affirming and necessary in the world. Read some inspiring works about things you value - labor solidarity, scientific achievement, social justice.
