The Department of Defense has confirmed that U.S. Marines detained a civilian—reportedly an Army veteran who crossed a yellow tape boundary on his way to an office of the Department of Veterans Affairs. This is an apparent violation of the Posse Comitatus Act. 1/16 www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

Repeat Covid infections aren’t inevitable. That’s a lie to prop up the economy. They want you to believe you have no power. That mitigations are pointless. You have so much power. You can wear a mask. Clean & ventilate the air. Isolate when sick. Together we can turn the tides.

Because the News tells them there's crime everyday and the idea that you can solve this problem by getting rid of them instead of needing to invest in social programs for "those people"

The US was already deporting criminals who entered illegally, prioritizing those who committed the worst crimes. Had for years. Trump’s pitch was always to be harsh to noncriminal migrants, or treat “criminal” and “immigrant” as synonyms, including legal ones and naturalized or second gen citizens.

There’s a disturbing number of people in my comments saying Assisted Dying is never pushed on Canadians. It’s never abused. There’s no coercion. Please stop talking over disabled people. Even if you know someone who had a positive experience, that doesn’t mean abuse isn’t occurring

What if I told you that Obama did a fireside chat not even a month ago and asked you if 1) you heard about it 2) it mattered to anything materially or discursively.

This is such an important point about what NOT impeaching says. I wish more people realized that criticizing Trump without calling for impeachment conveys an unspoken message: “We have to live with the abuse a few more years.” And for many of us, that message drowns out everything else being said.

16 Senate Democrats voted with Republicans on crypto, Alex Padilla was shoved to the ground and handcuffed by the Trump administration, and then Democrats participated in another vote. "They will continue to stern-letter us into fascism," a former staffer said. prospect.org/politics/202...

Hospitals shutting down care in preemptive compliance with the Trump administration is cowardice. All this will do is move care to individual providers where trans youth will not have access to large interdisciplinary teams. It won’t stop care, but it will hurt patients.

I'm pouring over the details of the reconciliation bill and its potentially apocalyptic effects on higher education for a short piece - it really is a five alarm fire. They're going to overhaul the student loan infrastructure as a means of anti-intellectual, resegregationist social engineering.

If you watch the actual frost Nixon interviews, not the movie or play that dramatizes & overinflated the value or integrity of the project, wild thing about it is when Nixon says the famous when the president does it that means it’s not illegal, it’s not a gotcha or even said as a stunning admission

I have been thinking about this non-stop. How you fight a necropolitics? It has to be by dismantling ANY system that provides the power to declare any human being as "bare life", life stripped of all legal or political protections. Borders. Prisons. Policing. They are alll death-worlds.
