honestly does seem like the basic dynamic in american politics right now is that a critical number of voters treat Democrats like their (nagging) mom or their (bitch) wife and treat Republicans like the “cool” dad or husband who is at best a deadbeat

Just a heads up: if we are in fact at war, the authorities Trump has been using — many/most of which are delegated wartime authorities — will only expand and be given more deference by the courts. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

This weird shit about ICE guys really being Proud Boys or whatever bypasses the Occam’s razor explanation which is that a bunch of people doing something unpopular and maybe illegal in full public view have been given permission to conceal their identity

If you think it can’t happen here, remember that it already did. In 1942 soldiers came with rifles to our home and ordered us out. They put us in internment camps. Most of us were citizens.

“ICE in just a few weeks has transformed itself into the closest thing that the US has ever had to a ‘secret police,’ with more seemingly culturally in common with the Klan nightriders of Reconstruction than their federal agency brethren like the FBI or ATF.” @garrettgraff.bsky.social

Maintaining a dead woman's body for 5 months then delivering a one pound highly premature baby from her corpse is a cruel medical experiment. If ever you wonder why there are high levels of medical mistrust in the Black community, remember this story. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

He’s lying. He knows he’s lying. And he’s lying to force us into a needless war. This is exactly what you impeach a president for.

This framing exists because the decision is instantly obvious as one of the legal atrocities of US history, like Dred Scot, the 1870s Civil Rights Cases, Korematsu. The Times doesn’t want to say “The Supreme Court stripped rights out of law” so instead it says “Here’s why they did it to themselves”

This is not normal. A sitting president refusing to call the governor of a state after two elected officials were shot, one fatally, is beyond words. A typical president, regardless of politics, would pick up the phone. Offer condolences.

We kept being told that journalism was a bulwark against fascism, a "fourth estate". This is the liberal frame for perceiving the industry's worth. But the reality is the polar opposite: fascism has been allowed to thrive, and could not have done so, without journalism.

His wife, Erin Hawley, is an attorney for the ADF, which is trying to ban abortion. His only reason for getting behind raising the min wage now, instead of when it was on the table before, is because he’s a political climber. Do not let Josh Hawley ascend, cast him out!!

BREAKING: A federal judge in Massachusetts (the Reagan-appointed William Young) has declared the Trump administration's cuts to NIH grants — ostensibly over Trump's EOs on gender ideology and DEI — are "illegal" and "void." He's ordering many grants restored.

I don’t like the way this could g ADF is trying to get abortion completely banned in the US by chipping away at protections little by little, or a lot by a lot if they can get away with it. It’s time for some crushing legal action against ADF and its members as a whole.

Far from the first one to say this. But agrobusiness regions, even in blue states, are generally in red areas. They're heavily dependent on undoc'd labor. Take the dairy industry in Kristi Noem's home state or in CA. we're not seeing any of these raids there. not zero. but they're getting a pass.

The thing that fascists want is to commit violence. A lot of people have noted that the “ideology” of fascism is incoherent, and it is, because it’s really just an ever-evolving series of pretexts to engage in and celebrate violence. And right now that’s what Trump wants.
