UPDATE: It happened. In an 11:15 meeting, employees were told that the office has been eliminated and their positions will be terminated.

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

Fed. Judge repeatedly mentioning "2 weeks" is a giant, neon red, flashing WARNING sign 2 weeks is the minimum required notice to hold a party in contempt if they don't comply. She's basically telling Ensign to pack a toothbrush if this doesn't get done.

Oof. We’ve fallen so far, so fast.

Lid worden van de VVD om de progressief-liberale flank te ondersteunen? Dezelfde 'progressief-liberale' flank die af en toe foei roept, maar daarna samen aan de bitterballen zit. Durf groot te dromen en streef naar een regering zonder de partij die dit Wilders-kabinet mogelijk maakte.

L - The official photo from the Kremlin of US Special Envoy @SteveWitkoff putting his hand over his heart as he greets his friend Vladimir Putin again this week. R - Putin’s latest missile attack killing at least 21 people, including 7 children, on Palm Sunday. Putin’s stooge.

russia does not want peace

Senator Sanders and Reps. Ocasio-Cortes, Jayapal, and Khanna rising to the occasion.

Na de moord op hulpverleners ivm “gevoel van dreiging” bezet Israël nu delen van Gaza, ivm “uitbreiden veiligheidszone” RTLnieuws.😞Ik vermoed dat die uitbreiding pas compleet is als heel Gaza en westelijke Jordaanoever is leeggeveegd,. Nederland kijkt toe en doet straks op 4 mei weer toneelstukje.

Trump isn’t losing any support over his performative cruelty towards immigrants, but is rapidly losing Republicans over economic policy, stock market, inflation etc

A small chunk of metal, traversing spacetime: fast! Ten minutes of turmoil, then: savings saved Brut uncorked friends come calling

The crowned head begs for the axe

Wij vrouwen zijn, net als Pamela Anderson, allemaal showgirls. Of we het nu willen of niet

Former Skadden associate: The Administration cannot pick and choose who gets representation. It cannot use executive power to scare lawyers out of advocacy. “I will not allow my fear to manifest as silence. I choose courage.”
