Politics of a bleeding-heart liberal(I will not give up that term), wrestling takes of a decades-long smark, Magic takes of a filthy casual, and probably some other stuff. Background is Lucius Junius Brutus, who overthrew the last kind of Rome.

If they had started this whole process with this and brought in experts to audit the various agencies this would have gone differently. "Move fast and break things" is and always has been a terrible plan. It's the kind of thing a teenager thinks up and assumes nobody's every thought of it before.

Nate Silver --- Not a historian. Not a psychologist. Not even a political scientist He's a stat guy who was mildly accurate once and has delusions of grandeur ever since.

Seems like a good time to mention this story that was a pain in the ass to report but we thought could be important. Upshot - military officials insisted the JAsG (I think that's technically what it should be) would review the orders. Same officers who were axed tonight.

How fucking pathetic are you that fucking Boris Johnson can make an easy layup on your ass. And how pathetic are the Dems that they can't take these easy shots?

My fellow citizens: don’t be the frog.

Stop mass deportations with this one simple trick: wapo.st/41apYFB (gift link)

Was just looking at this... 😬 NSW RFS is welded to Starlink. #NSWpol #AusPol

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

None of them should feel safe coming home. Do not give them a moment of peace. Protest at their homes and offices. Shout them down in public. Make them understand the depths of our displeasure.

So the President not only fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. He also fired the top JAGs at the Army, Navy and Air Force. Those are the lead people who determine what is a legal order and what is not. So if you're planning to do things that are illegal they're the most obvious obstacle.

I don't think he's worried about protestors. He wants his guards able to follow him into the White House. He knows Trump doesn't trust him, he doesn't trust Trump. Their Fiume rate has been successful but he knows what happens next.

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS sweeping nationwide injunction against Trump DEI executive orders finding that they violate First and Fifth Amendments to the Constitution. A huge victory for @democracyforward.org and its clients. A stinging loss for Trump. Visit www.democracydocket.com for details.

I'm gonna keep reposting examples of people not taking shit because it's important for us to see that you can, simply, reject the shit. Say "Uh... no no no, we will not be tolerating that."

Important to start admitting that we’re living under Schrodinger’s constitution—one that is not in effect whenever it constrains Republican powers, but is in effect whenever it can be used to stymie democrats or suppress opposition.

It’s journalistic malpractice — to the extent that’s a thing any more — to talk about this Ed Martin letter without clarifying that every expert, other than administration hacks, thinks that Garcia’s statement was not remotely plausibly a true threat. It’s simply ludicrous.

All of DC/NOVA/and Maryland need to be there. Every government employee who has lost their jobs to this bullshit needs to be there to "show appreciation".

During these last few months I've been reminded of Laibach, a bunch of Balkan art kids who were pissed off at the covert and overt fascism in late 20th century industrial dance music, so they amped it up to parody/satire levels with a cover of Queen's "One Vision". www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZAD...

He genuinely doesn't care how many people die as a result of his policies as long as non-white people die in higher proportions.

Bannon doesn't have enough pathetic little fanboys to desperately try and explain this away.

LITERALLY EVERY FBI DIRECTOR HAS BEEN A REPUBLICAN. EVERY SINGLE ONE.

Hey look, it's a Democratic party strategist!

Sometimes I think about how if Fred Trump had actually loved his sons we'd be living in a much better world right now.
