*Mike Waltz has left the group chat.

I’ve found it’s more visually appealing to just paste in his head at the inflection points

The mugshots that were missing from the White House lawn.

So you’re saying we could solve all the financial problems of 379 million of us and impact just 19 households. What an interesting fact. Fun little bit of trivia.

Just happy to be some country’s successful cautionary tale.

Pritzker: The reckoning is here. And now that this culture of timidity is on display, these same do-nothing Democrats want to blame our losses on the defense of Black people, trans kids, and immigrants, instead of on their own lack of guts and gumption.

President Macron refused to shake demonic Trump's little hand at the Pope's funeral. Showed solidarity with Ukraine and President Zelenskyy.

years ago, when I was about 3 weeks sober, @chrisgeidner.bsky.social taught me a secret that genuinely changed my life on countless occasions, including today: you’re allowed to decide you’re starting your day over at any point in the 24 hour cycle

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

We're on it. Government buildings aren't pulpits — and flying a Christian flag over City Hall is a clear violation of church/state separation. We’ll be working to correct this unconstitutional action and defend the rights of all Hartford residents.

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you. The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

15 years ago the Supreme Court decided corporations are people under the First Amendment. Today, billionaire political spending is up 160-fold since that ruling. Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

Donald Trump knows that he owns these cowardly law firms. Here are a few recommendations: Paul Weiss can litigate to bring children back in the mines. Milbank can challenge clean air rules. Willkie Farr can lead on spoiling the water. Skadden is perfect to break the unions. Shameful all.

I happen to know that some powerful media orgs were unhappy that AP filed suit; they thought the conflict with the White House would blow over on its own and that AP risked making bad law. The AP's leadership deserves a lot of credit for having proceeded as it did. apnews.com/article/trum...

Citizens cannot, by legal definition, be "deported." What she's describing is kidnapping and forced imprisonment without cause. She and many, many others in this administration should face prison one day. bsky.app/profile/ones...

“are you wearing the—?” “the habeas boots? the boots in which I carry all my habeas petitions just in case I get disappeared to the gulag in el salvador? yeah, yeah I am.”

"The implication...is that not only noncitizens but also U.S. citizens could be taken off the streets, forced onto planes, and confined to foreign prisons with no opportunity for redress if judicial review is denied unlawfully before removal. History is no stranger to such lawless regimes..."

It can’t be said enough how right Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris were. About everything.

If "protests in all 50 states" wanted above-the-fold coverage in @nytimes.com, they should have been "seven random Americans" instead

There is not a single more useless post on al gore's internet than someone at home on their phone complaining that millions in the streets are doing it wrong

Americans will destroy themselves with an unnecessary trade war and a potential depression because they can't stand seeing people of color and women moving up a bit and getting a small piece of the pie. Same as it ever was.

NEW from me: The moment has come to take to the streets www.headsupnews.org/p/the-moment...

well republicans, youve tied yourself to an asshole that everyone in america hates and you cant distance yourself from him or else he’ll fully fund a primary campaign against you so i dunno, good luck with that

Amen! Thank you, @corybooker.com, for YOUR leadership and FIGHT on behalf of the Democratic Party! +…

Exiled Russian journalist Mikhail Rubin said last week there was little resistance when press rights began to disappear in Russia. “We did not resist for the small things." Everyone was waiting for the worst to occur before resisting, but when it finally did they had already lost ability to resist

Some people are reacting to that 3rd term story as though they had been walking around believing that a free, fair and competitive election in 2028 with candidates not called Trump was the current trajectory for those in power in the US. Simmer on frogs.

Here is my best guidance for action, rendered beautifully by the great John Lithgow. I first published these lessons more than eight years ago, in late 2016. They open the twenty chapters of "On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century." snyder.substack.com/p/twenty-les...

If your plan is to keep your head down and hope it goes away, I can show you all of human history why it won’t work. If it’s to capitulate and hope they ignore you, I can show you thousands of Trumpers who’ve already lost their jobs & savings. Fighting back isn’t an option. It’s the only option.

Hundreds of international students have just received an email telling them their visas have been revoked. The ‘justification’ is campus activism or social media posts. timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/us/hun...

A very old Soviet joke, from an especially dark time: Foxes are fleeing the USSR in droves. Q: Why are you running away? Fox: The Soviets passed a new law that they’re going to arrest all camels. Q: But you’re foxes! Fox: Yeah, why don’t *you* try proving to the NKVD that you’re not a camel.

To anyone who is not clear: The First Amendment protected Rumeysa Ozturk when she published her op-ed. The same way it has protected me. Rule of law means that we should be treated equally.
