I know folks are excited about Bernie and AOC coming to CA (I’m not 1 of them) but I hope y’all realize this was/is also a business stop. CA is the piggy bank for the Democratic Party. I mean it’s not like the area they went to isn’t super blue. I’m talking the bluest of blue. Anyhoo…

From Congregational Action Network email: This Monday (Time TBA), as Salvadoran President Bukele visits the White House, we will gather for a vigil co-sponsored by CAN, CASA, and the UCC. We demand both govts respect due process toward Kilmar & all at risk of illegal imprisonment in El Salvador.

Astonishing RFK Jr interview with NBC. At 23.30 he claims pharmaceuticals are the 3rd leading cause of death in the US [wtf]. He discloses the name & medical history of the 2nd child to die of measles, implies she wasn't healthy & argues about her cause of death. @gorskon.bsky.social

Cannot get over horseshoe denialism when people are still proud to have tanked Harris’s campaign and all their conversations about it never involve acknowledging that Trump is setting up concentration camps (which is itself atrocity denial because that’s how reality works)

This is a concession by the U.S. government that its “arrangement” with El Salvador is irrevocable. To me this has to be grounds to argue that the arrangement itself is unconstitutional under the Fifth and Eighth Amendments

And live under the rule of Moscow and Beijing though, but if that's what y'all want, I guess. I'm too old and tired to care much anymore whether or not you populists get what you want or if we get what we need I guess.

Those protesters were idiots. I mean I just can't imagine the absolute ENTITLEMENT it takes to barge into a class you're not a part of & spewing your propaganda. I don't agree with the 1 guy escalating the conflict AFTER they were removed, but the professor had EVERY right to remove them!

Haunting. The serenity on her face. The kindly grandmother physiognomy, the frail infirmity implied by the wheelchair, juxtaposed against a message of physical, violent hatred. The beaming smile. The contentment at making life awful for so many, knowing she won't live to see the consequences
