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.

I'm sharing them knowingly.

NEW: California files an emergency motion for a temporary restraining order to stop the Trump admin from using "the federalized California National Guard and active duty Marines for law enforcement purposes on the streets of a civilian city." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

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.

all these public officials insist they will resist the Trump admin adn that they don't support ICE...and then the police departments they supposedly control rush out to beat up anti ICE protestors.

Clearly it was a terrible idea to impose pressure on the White House on this matter, look at all the nothing it did, @mattyglesias.bsky.social was so right

oh is this just a distraction? is that it? a distraction? for rubes? are you the smartest little birthday boy in the whole applebees? is that it? are you three steps ahead? with your mind chess? in your little birthday boy suit? do you have it all figured out? are you mommy’s special buddy?

Interviewer: So you tweeted President Trump is a stupid lying pedophile? Elon Musk: ::stares down mumbling softly:: Well, we've had some policy disagreements...

At this point if there is a nom-incumbent name on the Democratic primary ballot, you should vote for them. Any name—doesnt matter who, so long as they are not part of whatever the fuck this is

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.

Dear Lord lmao

Must be nice to be able to go to a hospital and get treatment without fearing that it will be bombed to ground or that the doctors will be summarily executed

Wanna see something incredibly ... bad? Here's Alito quoting a source to suggest that you can't do habeas class actions: 1/

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...

Here is a clip of the student's speech.

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.

I am the same on this. I don't know what the "abundance" shit means. My guess though is it doesn't involve raising tax rates or enforcing existing tax law against our oligarchs, so I will continue to ignore it.
