I still can't get past the idea that people in America are now supposed to accept that this is a valid form of law enforcement and just assume it's fine when random dudes in groups with face-coverings, no ID, no warrant, & no uniform grab people off the street and force them into unmarked vehicles

‘Pentagon estimates sending Marines, National Guard to LA will cost $134M’ For context, that would fully fund the National School Lunch Program at FY 2025 levels for 7.5 years. ALL federal school food programs would fully fund for 3.5 years. Where the fuck is DOGE? thehill.com/policy/defen...

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

Navarro: I'm very happy to see somebody that isn't afraid to speak up and call an authoritarian an authoritarian. And if it's Newsom, as a result of what's happening in California now, I welcome it because I have been so thirsty for somebody that is not cowardly

A friend just asked me what I do to stay hopeful and I told him one of my favorite strategies…I stay hopeful by remembering that no one has any idea what the fuck is going to happen, so as long as we don’t know, we gotta do what we can.

<Thread> I figure I need to explain how extreme and irresponsible is the June 7 Memorandum federalizing the National Guard and authorizing regular armed forces. Those saying anything in support of this action may not realize what they’ve gotten into. (It will also escalate from here.) Preview⤵️

“This could poll well with midterm swing voters in Ohio” I remark sagely as I watch a fourth grader get bundled into an unmarked van at recess by armed and masked agents of the state.

NEW: Virginia's two most populous cities voted Harris in November, and both have Republican sheriffs up for reelection this year, at a time where sheriffs are rushing to help ICE. There's no Democrat, or indy, challenging either sheriff. Main filing deadline passed; a final one is in two weeks.

We're living through the Who Cares Era, where completely disposable things are shoddily produced for people to mostly ignore, while the government stomps its uncaring boot on our necks. But there's an easy way to fight back: Care. I wrote about it: dansinker.com/posts/2025-0...

I keep seeing news stories claiming Elon Musk is going to step back from being co-president or head of DOGE or whatever he’s calling himself. That’s just crisis comms and wishful thinking on the part of Republican insiders. Musk was in Saudi Arabia with Trump last week. He hasn’t gone anywhere.
