This is in line with the weird sexual insecurity eugenics ideology of the right-wing. It is contemptible and weak for a man to care for children who do not carry his genes, while virtuous and masculine for a man (like Musk) to have multiple genetic offspring he treats like chattel or never sees.

the reason people want to believe that the modern US has always been this bad, and that there is no escalation that is unique to either Trump term, is because it relieves them of any obligation to do more than they already were while feeling really fucking smug about it

A co-worker of mine (who is a judge), traveled by train from Montana to North Dakota for work this week. The train made a stop in Havre, MT, where ICE agents—armed and dressed in full military-style tactical gear—boarded the train.

Trump just posted a photo of himself holding up a piece of paper claiming to show tattoos on Kilmar Abrego Garcia that are related to MS-13. The paper he’s holding up has been digitally altered to add the characters MS-13. The claim comes from neo-Nazis on X who say the tattoos cover up “MS-13.”

Hegseth's obsession with "lethality" and "warfighters" is really about licensing crime.Here's his defense of Eddie Gallagher: These are men who went into the most dangerous places on earth with a job to defend us and made tough calls on a moment’s notice.

I don't really care what the "political consequences" are of fighting for the proposition that everyone is entitled to due process before they are removed from the United States and sent to a Salvadoran prison. It's not really a principle if you only adhere to it when it's politically expedient.

Van Hollen: I should also just say, I mentioned the fake margarita, they actually wanted to have the meeting by the side of the pool in the hotel. They want to create this appearance that life was just lovely for Kilmar. Which of course is a big, fat lie.

Van Hollen is safe in MD against both a primary challenge and a GOP challenger no matter how much money AIPAC throws at him. These ads are a signal designed to dissuade other more vulnerable Dems from sticking their neck out.

Laying down a marker: The alternative to Trumpism is freedom, rights, mutual respect, and equality under the law. That means for all, trans people very much included. The alternative to Trumpism is not let's agree to treat some people as second class to placate the bigots. On that, I'm a hard no.

If you go to Twitter right now looking for info on the FSU shooter you will see many totally inaccurate posts claiming he was a Democrat, and some accurate ones identifying him as a bog standard Trumper obsessed with trans people. It's authoritarianism 101: nothing is true & everything is possible.

it's also in direct tension with the fact that for this to work, it needs to be very public, very graphic, and in the news a lot, and while the median voter is vaguely anti-immigration, they also don't want to see it on the news and don't want it to make them feel sad.

TPM’s @hunterw.bsky.social makes a convincing case - citing experts - that we should be referring to CECOT as a “concentration camp,” “penal colony,” or “permanent prison camp.” Based on its features (no due process, indefinite detention) he says: “President Trump is sending people to the camps.”

The Black struggle against racism is central to the story of The United States. His attempt to expunge this story - under the guise of extinguishing “DEI” - represents an attempt to erase Blackness itself. News accounts that parrot his propaganda aid and abet this crime.

It’s worth keeping in mind that nowhere in the record has Garcia Abrego ever been accused of a discrete criminal act. The double hearsay allegation made by an informant to a corrupt cop is of gang “membership”, a kind of ontological state of criminality that is assigned by the state to men of color.

This language, in addition to being grotesquely incorrect, is meant to telegraph the government position that autistic people are genetic dead-ends who do not contribute to the nation, and only drain resources from an austere society. They are telegraphing an extermination campaign.
