How do moral people cope with the deliberate cruelty and enormous suffering caused by this regime? “Years from now, when our children and grandchildren ask what we did during Trump’s reign of terror, we can tell them that we worked tirelessly to curb his cruelty — and we did it with our compassion.”

Correction: “the government will begin screening ALL social media for activity that officials think indicates support for anti-TRUMPism.” What have they done to make us think they will stop with immigrants and anti-semites? The goal is suppressing free speech.

Trump's tariffs aren't just economics: they're a cultural purge designed to destroy white collar & knowledge work, deskill the country, force men into blue collar jobs & women to marry MAGA men, and render us all unable to resist fascism. My latest: washingtonmonthly.com/2025/04/08/t...

This is what the Senate and House Republicans could make come to pass through budget reconciliation; an increase in ICE's budget for detention from $3.4 billion to $45 billion. It would be enough to detain hundreds of thousands of people at a time, potentially more than in all federal prisons.

Wow. The attorney for the government, Mr Reuveni, can’t explain on what authority Mr Garcia was taken, nor why the government is unable to bring him back. In response, Reuveni loses his job. How f’d up.
