Even if you accept the premise and decision, which I absolutely do not, it is the simplest thing to phone the visa holder, tell them their visa is revoked and say they have a month to leave the country. Accosting someone on the street like a kidnapping is just a spectacle of terror.

Hello its Me

Social connections on bluesky are slower than I remember twitter when it first came out. Most (90%) of those massive follower requests were marketing. Dawn of twitter don't make me google. IOW things seem about right for my profile: one or two people who like what I just said. Minus the of girls..

👇🏽”That’s not efficiency, it’s cruelty and chaos” @ossoff.bsky.social is really good at this

Is Bondi going to prosecute this guy federally as a domestic terrorist?

All you need to know about Twitter

Swalwell: As we start this season of democracy, that will take us to November 4, 2026. Today is about you thinking about what do you want that day to look like. To me, it’s a day of celebration, it’s a day of accountability.. It’s a day we cut our time in hell in half by winning the midterms.

The author of this piece is an American photo journalist who has been embedded in El Salvador. Reading this piece is frightening and it should be. It's who we are in danger of becoming. time.com/7269604/el-s...

every person involved in this needs to be in prison

Fuck Stephen Miller and Tom Homan to hell. Goddamn bastards, both of them.

Tucson, Arizona today. Original projected attendance was 3,000 people. 23,000 showed up.

I'm not saying that every reporter who ever wrote that Trump was a free speech advocate should commit ritual seppuku, but I'm also not saying they shouldn't.

This is really the whole ball game right now, *particularly* among the institutions that make up civil society. (my parents definitely had this poster when I was growing up)

Maybe the Trump administration should just stop violating the law?

Dick Durbin is arguably worse at being ranking member on Senate Judiciary than Chuck Schumer is at being Minority Leader.

AOC = Anti Oligarchs Club

2022: "The Supreme Court would NEVER overturn Roe v. Wade!" 2025: "The administration would NEVER take away Social Security!"

the people who told you to calm down about Roe are the same people telling you to calm down about Social Security, in case you hadn't noticed

I'm kinda surprised that Trump didn't make Columbia revoke Obama's degree.

I like to watch the birds in my backyard. Birds don't want to be singled out by the woke crowd. Neither do worms.

Why did Schumer cave?

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

Yesterday I heard a frog croak for the first time in 21 years. Today we saw a woodpecker checking out our azalea. We had a redtail hawk in our backyard two weeks ago; he looked pretty healthy. These are all symptoms of loss of habitat. It's not good.

I once declared myself a John Lennon Democrat. Imagine that.

For those who will ride this shit show to the end enjoy your rat-roasted-over-WSJ lunch..

Sam Adler-Bell recently expressed no confidence in Hakeem Jeffries. Pretty sure he is a constituent. I am similarly not impressed. Also, why not Chris Murphy for Schumers job? Having a funny niece is no basis for a system of government..

You are giving Donald Trump the keys to the city, state, and country. Please reconsider!

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

a smorgasbord of quick bites whilst pretending to be on the run

Narrowcasting. Of course we do this all the time. As Stephen West ("Philosophize This!" podcast) points out, we all narrowcast. His example was hey if you 'buck the trend' and show up to work naked one day you would be frowned upon, to say the least.
