Being a historian doesn’t give me the mantle of authority to say definitively what’s happening here or how anyone should respond, but I feel qualified to say this: If you were writing an account of how the United States devolved into violence and fragmentation, all this would be chapter 1 or 2.

Obama not clawing back any of Bush's post-911 excesses or holding anyone in his administration accountable for their many crimes led directly to where we are today. Pretending people shouldn't criticize him only serves to ensure that it will happen again after Trump.

A lot of people are going to be up in arms about ICE's tactics here. But I ask you to consider the horrifying alternative: the guys you see with a truck outside Home Depot continuing to chop it up on a Saturday, and possibly even purchasing one of those Home Depot hot dogs at one point.

LAPD officer and wannabe tough guy Zachary Adler is completely unhinged right now. He was putting his hands on people all night and now he’s walking up to people threatening to shoot point blank. Fuck these pigs.

They will never try believing different things to address economic inequality. Brutal austerity capitalism can be solved with a simple PR gloss.

They blame pollution but cut the EPA and clean air and water regulations. They blame poor nutrition but cut SNAP and programs to bring local produce to schools. They blame increased screen time while destroying public infrastructure that connects people. All while they take millions off healthcare.

It's possible to get PACER fee waivers, but they're not available to journalists like Chris. The US Courts should reevaluate this policy. It's embarrassing to paywall this kind of essential work.

This is a funny story because of how it establishes that all around the world, even the most nihilistic ultra-rich freaks are realizing this shit is stupid, wasteful, and unnecessary and Trump is like "the big plane has a couch in it, it's the highest premium leather," www.forbes.com/sites/jeremy...

WOW. The Trump admin said they will review social media and deny immigration benefits to people saying antisemitic claims. They're even trying to deport people with green cards on alleged claims of antisemitism. Anyway, here's a tweet from an Afrikaner they flew here on Monday.
