To my Sen. Shumer: "Rubio Touts Migrants Sent to El Salvador After Judge Orders Planes Return" Do something! This is the constitutional crisis you've warned us about. Gather and spread stories from Venezuelans in New York seeking asylum about what they face upon return to Maduro's Venezuela.

I asked Alexa about the late Godfrey Cambridge.The reply via Wikipedia, "He was acclaimed by Time in 1965 as "one of the country's foremost celebrated Negro comedians." - with Negro bleeped - just in case there was any doubt that Amazon has gone full racist and fascist for the broligarchy.

I wrote back in 2022 that if Trump is reelected, democracy will not fail all at once, but in red-state pockets, one step at at a time. Like, say, this place in Idaho. www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

This is an INCREDIBLY serious story for Washington, DC. There is one prosecutor for DC: the federal/DOJ US Attorney for DC. That's a Trump-appointed position now. The Trump appointee is corrupt, venal, MAGA. Here the DC police wanted to prosecute a crime, and the Trump USAO SAID NO. 1/

REPOST if you stand with AOC!

The employee is Gavin Kliger. He’s been named by multiple large news orgs. Not sure why NBC won’t.

Kase Solomón, president of Common Cause, said it was not clear why the newspaper made its decision, but it seemed very much to do with the nature of the ad’s content and possibly to with the political leanings of the Post’s owner, the second-richest man in the world after Musk himself.

A new level of cowardly compliance in advance from the Washington Post as it backs out of running a “fire Elon Musk” ad from @ourcommoncause.bsky.social, that group says. Katharine Graham was unavailable for comment but must be rolling in her grave over this shit.

We think they should be powerful enough to afford principles. They think they have a lot to lose (and they lost their "don't be evil" motto a long time ago). Google, you coward, you quisling.
