I think it's getting lost that Trump is currently very much in the process of defying the Supreme Court, which directed the administration to "facilitate" Abrego Garcia's return. This is not some theoretical showdown that will happen later. It's upon us right now.

Marriott’s CEO said it straight: “We welcome all… we create opportunities for all… that’s who we are as a company.” He went back to his hotel to find 40K emails from Marriott associates worldwide saying “thank you.” Plenty of CEOs talk. Capuano showed up. Marriott still has my business.

“In the end what will be remembered of MAGA will be how useless they were as Americans, they either stood in the way or stood on the sidelines but over and over when their country needed them, they refused to stand up.”

The USG should not function as a Kafkaesque repressive regime. If someone's to be deported, there ought to be rule of law & there ought to be a public record of what occurs and where they end up. Secret arrests, secret proceedings, secret rulings & secret deportations are the stuff of dictatorships.

A definition of normalcy bias: “a cognitive bias which leads people to disbelieve or minimize threat warnings. Consequently, individuals underestimate the likelihood of a disaster, when it might affect them, and its potential adverse effects.”

Regarding the markets plunging abd Trump’s desire to fire Fed Chair Jerome Powell, far too many people still think they’re dealing with a sane person and that he won’t destroy the American economy to feed his own ego and delusions of singular brilliance.

We all know which side Trump and the maga minions would have picked in Jesus vs the Romans. Anyone doubt if it happened today, he would be front and center to hoist Jesus on the cross, while spreading lies about him being a member of a Jewish street gang that committed acts of terrorism in churches?

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

Where I live we have undocumented people who have been part of the fabric of the community for decades, 25-30 years. We will link arms & defend them if ICE comes for them. We’d much rather have them & their hard work here than cruel, ignorant, un-American Trumpers.

This premise of this ad is powerful: We agree on far more than we disagree. However, the video emphasizes the symptom (division among agreement)...and dances around the primary source of not only the division... ...but also the primary source of why these issues are not solved/passed: Trump. 1/

The MAGA regime says they want to recognize Crimea as Russian property even though it was illegally stolen away from Ukraine by Putin’s Russia. When Hillary Clinton warned about the orange felon being Putin’s puppet, she wasn’t being hyperbolic, she was stating fact.

In general, overall I find that the malevolence is of greater concern than the incompetence. But this kind of story really challenges that. If you can blunder into war with Harvard, what exactly is stopping the same horrible people from blundering into an actual war—or a nuclear exchange?
