I know this first hand. When I was a child, my entire community was branded as spies and sabateurs, justifying our internment inside barbed wire camps for years without due process, trial or charge.

You don’t know who we just disappeared to El Salvador. Think about that.

holy shit. in a world of Schumers be a McGee.

If you let the executive deport people to a foreign gulag just by pronouncing the word “terrorism,” then expect to be called a “terrorist” soon yourself.

The people Attorney General Bondi is calling “terrorists” have had no trial and no chance to defend themselves. We do not know who they are. Ignoring the Constitution does not make us safe. It puts us all in peril.

THIS.

The provision of the 14th amendment that the Supreme Court unanimously wrote out of the constitution existed for a reason. Its drafters knew what would happen if you allowed insurrectionists back into power.

You know things are fucked up when the blue wave emoji accounts and the communist Garfield accounts are exactly as pissed off about the exact same thing for the exact same reason

Today the biggest split among Democrats is between those who want to stand and fight and those who want to play dead. House Democrats united to stand and fight. Too many Senate Democrats played dead. We need more leaders from the stand and fight wing of the Democratic Party.

If your excuse as an elected official, here in 2025, for not doing something that is in the interest of Dems who elected you is that Republicans might weaponize it, you are not living in 2025. They are going to weaponize anything you do, either way. They have demonstrated this over and over.

whether they’re retiring or not this should be the last term for each of them

These are the same Senate Democrats who lectured the base for years about the importance of preserving the filibuster so it would still be available when Democrats were in the minority

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

There is no point in Senate Democrats voting to fund the government only to let Trump and Musk do whatever they see fit with those funds. Dems should only vote for a continuing resolution if it stops DOGE pillaging and fully funds services. Call your Dem Senator 202-224-3121

The next Democratic fundraising text had better start with the name of the new Senate minority leader.

📌I can't tell you how much heart I am taking from these Jewish protestors who have marched on Trump Tower today to oppose the administration's kidnapping of Mahmoud Khalil, saying forcefully and rightfully, "Opposing fascism is a Jewish tradition." RIGHT ON ✊🏼

For all the small businesses out there who's only web presence is a Facebook page? Please, I beg of you, get your own website!

Los Angeles pre-EPA and Los Angeles post-EPA.

“Instead, we will be signing a blank check and handing it to him to do with as he wishes. I am very smart.”

CHUCK SCHUMER HAS TO GO. He’s way past his best by date and I’m not talking about age, I’m talking about usefulness. Senate Dems need to step up and have some courage.

Bluesky is the place for science.

Call your senators and let them know if they join Schumer here you will never give them another dime or another vote and you’ll devote your time and money to anyone who primaries them.

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

Tell me again why we need 900+ billion dollar defense budget when we can be taken over for Musk's chump change and a cheap St. Petersburg troll farm. Seems kind of wasteful. Why don't the oligarchs take money from that budget?

Ten years ago if you had written a dystopian SF story in which the person in charge of U.S. public health did a press event at a fast food joint to say that fried food is good but measles vaccines cause measles the ghost of Philip K. Dick would have said that you were being too bleak and unrealistic

I cannot overstate how much I love the fact that Williams & Connolly put *14* individual lawyers’ names in the signature block of their complaint. W&C is sending a clear message: We are not afraid. BRAVO.

i think shutting the government down is preferably to nullifying article i of the constitution

Get in loser, we're tanking the economy

one thing i keep thinking about is how there is simply no way to design a constitutional system that can resist authoritarian incursion if participants in that system do not actually care that much

If you thought that one-year-behind crisis in K-12 caused by covid was bad, wait til we straight up stop making doctors

The Dems are not coming to save us. The courts are not coming to save us. The feds are not coming to save us. We’ve got to save one another. That is the only way out this late in the game.

As if the anti “woke” blitzkrieg wasn’t craven enough, these soft-headed nihilists are dismantling STEM right with it …

“Things might be bad for a little while, but we’re okay with that, because we know that in the end these policies will drive markets into a deadly tailspin and push the economy to a point of no return." theonion.com/trump-says-r...

Not the first person to make this observation, but it's so striking how the media covered the crack epidemic as a problem caused by black/urban drug users and the fentanyl epidemic as a problem imposed externally on white/rural drug users.

They called him Sleepy Joe because we could sleep at night.

One of my companies informed me they cancelled a $2m conference in Florida. Why ? They didn’t feel they could pass on the incremental cost of tariffs. So they are cutting expenses. That’s a city that lost a ton of tourism revenue. The cost of tariffs isn’t just the cost of the tariff

NEW: State health department announces new measles case in Maryland State agency alerts: "Anyone who visited the following location.. may have been exposed: Washington Dulles International Airport: The international arrivals area March 5th, 4pm-9pm"

This may well be my official last act as an Amazon Prime subscriber. Her's hoping FOTUS is capable of erasing at least a few Bezos Billions. #ettd

The demand for the measles vaccine is so high in Texas many pharmacy have run out and the disease continues to spread... "There are now 198 known cases, 23 hospitalizations and one death from measles in Texas, and 30 known cases and one death in New Mexico."

The question now--Who else will follow Ruth and who will stay?
