The way we were treated at Delaney Hall is almost unbelievable. ICE shoved me, manhandled @repbonnie.bsky.social, and arrested Mayor Baraka. They disrespected us and tried to stop us from conducting the oversight we’re elected to do. But we’ll never back down in our fight for what is right.

Reframe the sentiment as “you only need two video games” and see how quickly the white American male gets involved in politics.

We will be eliminating funding for Head Start, PBS, childhood vaccines, and student loans. However, we will be offering a one-time $5000 check to new parents. All right, young women: Start making those babies! by J.D. Vance and Elon Musk

When you’re getting lectured by the <checks notes> German government on failing to account for the dangers posed by right-wing extremism, it might be time to take a seat.

This is from The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson aired on May 20th, 1977. Carl Sagan says something very important, a strong message that didn't lose any validity since then.

News organizations loathe covering their own scandals. This is how it’s done.

University leaders need to understand: they are holding INCREDIBLY good cards. It is so rare in today's polarized era to have the support of 70+ percent of the public against the Trump admiministration on anything. Universities have that—AND winning legal arguments.

This feels a lot like that early period of Covid when some people were shouting about how bad it was going to be while guys like Trump and Musk were predicting it would be over by April.

800+ years of English common law and constitutitonal precedent, as well as 250 years of American constitutionalism, are all designed to prevent precisely this scenario: the executive using their power to declare people guilty and sentence them without due process.

A very transparent move to try to silence any other victims. And as is the case with Rowling, be very aware that if you financially support the new Sandman show, Good Omens, etc, this is the man who profits.

YES! I yell about this all the time--someone says "there's no room for conservatives at universities" and I'm like, "let me introduce you to the business and engineering schools."

Legit the best thing any Dem has done to date in response to Trump and it happened because he cared more about serving his constituents than public polling about immigration.

Lots of stomach-churning details in these excerpts, but the biggest one for me is the implication that children are a means to end and not autonomous individuals deserving of the best future we can offer them

Even if you (wrongly) believe that some immigrants lack due process rights, what’s to stop the government from claiming that you are an undocumented immigrant; removing you to El Salvador; citing an “administrative error”; and refusing to do anything to bring you back? The answer is due process.

I keep coming back to the fact that they apparently care about El Salvador’s sovereignty (insofar as it shields them from accountability), but won’t extend the same courtesy to Canada, Panama, or Greenland.
