Look, if you won't take it from me, take it from Jen Psaki: this is an excellent summation on the lack of strategy from Mr. Schumer and why it's hurting all of us. Sign the petition to remove him as leader: www.change.org/p/boycott-co...

The whole point is not just the state disappearing whoever they want, it's you being in the habit of accepting the state choosing whom to disappear, without question. It's submission to the state. Same as with Gitmo after 9/11. The state's judgment must not be questioned.

Short thread by @samuelwa.de worth reading: Demolition of Radio Free Asia / VOA / etc is more self-lobotomization by US. (Not saying Trump/Doge are paid agents of Xi and Putin. But if CN and RU could buy control of US govt, this is their dream version of what their minions might do.)

No wonder I had a feeling that the Trump administration was determined to put guns in the hands of domestic violence perpetrators. It’s because they are. Definitely watch this interview.

Warren: Donald Trump ran for office saying he would cut costs for ordinary families. Remember his words on day one? Now we're in the second month and what we're watching is cuts for billionaires in their taxes, but paid for by driving up costs for middle class families
