Listening to Ami Bera on Cap Radio and it is just so clear that moderate Dems like him are totally unprepared for the moment. Too credible of Trump’s words and ignorant of his actual actions. Telling MAGA “We’ll come to your side of the field.” A regular Chamberlain.

My first and definitely last time working with the Los Angeles Times. Editing out the most urgent point of an OpEd in the minutes before sending to press while then also assigning a title and image that suggest an argument entirely opposite to the author’s clear intent is pretty shitty.

Reposting this every time there is some new ghoulish attack on Trans people that was a totally foreseeable outcome of sensationalist “reporting” by Emily Bazelon and other members of the Rowlingswaffen at the NYT

three step process for reporting about Native citizenship in connection with the unconstitutional birthright citizenship EO: 1. Stop. 2. Talk to a scholar of Indian law, preferably a Native scholar. 3. Write carefully.

A lot of people seem to be confused about the "not subject to the jurisdiction" clause of the 14th Amendment. The 14th Amdt provides birthright citizenship to anyone born on US soil, except for people who weren't under US jurisdiction. A large part of this is about Tribes and tribal citizens.

A clergywoman making a clear-eyed but down-the-line plea for mercy and understanding is very nice, and certainly refreshing given today's shape of Christianity, but is it really heroic? The bar is on the ground, y'all.
