Ah, cheering the mendacious draft dodger who lives nothing more than directing others to do dirty work for him.

The wheels on the firm bus come off (but not entirely) every summer, but it’s fine.

Cool cool to learn of ICE swatting a city emergency services provider. Nothing thoroughly inappropriate about this at all. 🤮

I had a wake-up call after a Mike Brown protest in 2014: someone drove into the crowd and ran over a young teen, right in front of the 3rd precinct police station. seeing people cheer that person on in the comments about it, and them getting off with no consequences, let me know where things stood

LA Story King Don says he needs out of towners to deal with wild and crazy guys in SoCal. But with the only murders in ICE detention facilities, he looks a jerk. by Maureen Dowd

Members of Congress have a right to conduct oversight at federal facilities under federal law, Section 527(a) of the Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024 (Public Law 118-47) to be exact!

Funny thing: a community college in Tennessee miskeyed one of its students' email addresses as my gmail address. It was corrected FAST on the community college side when I emailed them about it (FERPA considerations). However, the third party vendors the community college partners with didn't get

To be clear: the majority of MN Dems elected in prominent positions - Gov Walz, mayor Frey, Sen Klobuchar - fully supported national guard deployments in Minneapolis following George Floyd's murder. Mobilization and LE expansion are topics that unite Democrats, Republicans, the majority of

Three months ago today, plain-clothes ICE agents abducted Mahmoud Khalil in his apartment building lobby after they'd followed him home. Free Mahmoud.

Dawg, they could barely wrangle small parts of Minneapolis and St Paul. What are you talking about they could wrangle LA?

Nothing more insufferable than a white male Gen X journalist hired right out of college into a major publication encountering his first real creative career challenges at (checks notes) age 50. Watching this guy's interview reinforces a self-indulgent view that journos can't learn anything new.

In the 42 years since the start of the Reagan revolution, bought-off politicians have so altered our tax code that fully $51 trillion has moved from the homes and savings of working-class Americans into the money bins of the morbidly rich money hoarders. https://trib.al/O1jiyie

Love this cartoon way more than I should. Can’t wait to see what Agent P is up to these days.

Your reminder that Humboldt Fog cheese, Humboldt County, CA, the Humboldt penguin (Spheniscus humboldti),and the Humboldt Current that allows wine grapes to grow in Chile are all named for an 18th C gay scientist whose love letters were all burned and who left his entire estate to his “valet.” 🏳️‍🌈

Starting our work day discussing Quiet Riot. Gonna be a good day.

I can tell some of you people have never watched the WWF/WWE. Elon is doing a classic “heel turn.” This builds tensions and keeps ratings high. By Electomania 2028, liberals will try to tag Elon in, but he’ll refuse. Then, when Trump is about to be pinned, he’ll bit Dems with a steel chair.

MAGA on X today.

Perfect. No notes.

The Russia's Future channel, launched by Navalny's widow Yulia Navalnaya and Reporters Without Borders, began broadcasting Wednesday, on what would have been the late Russian activist's 49th birthday.

And Housing for All is an impressively comprehensive examination of homelessness in America by Maria Foscarinis, who has worked in homelessness advocacy for decades.

It wasn’t an ICE raid. It was an ICE-involved raid bolstered by the brand new ICE field office branded with Nazi iconography and nobody really knows why but it’s super complicated so we needed a militarized caravan of FBI agents with giant guns to carry it out just to be safe
