gotta say I did not anticipate ICE goons going after the whitest possible immigrants with American families, jobs, and in good standing legally. a freaking Danish-born welder in Mississippi with four blonde kids and a pregnant wife. just omnidirectional hate

A lot of Americans have operated on the assumption that basic government services will function tolerably well and therefore politics is mostly a fun source of entertainment and spleen ventilation. The stakes are a lot higher

How about some basic rules? --All law enforcement officers should wear identification --No law enforcement officers should be allowed masks --All law enforcement officers should wear and use body cams ...oh and... --All law enforcement officers should understand, respect & follow the law

Ann Telnaes quit the paper because her editor wouldn’t run her cartoon making fun of tech execs, including Post owner Jeff Bezos, groveling to Trump.

I think people need to have more children. Here’s why I vote for the party that deports sick toddlers, gives everybody measles, cuts funding for children’s education and healthcare, and is investigating Miss Rachel.

This is much the same logic as arresting the judge in WI. There is obviously nothing wrong with asking law enforcement, including masked officials, to confirm they are, in fact, law enforcement. The goal is to create an absolutely subservient population.

Write this appellate opinion in stone.

If Harvard gets its nonprofit status revoked, who’s going to enforce it?

get on it, i'm calling wyden right now

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

The bipartisan belief that America would be a better place if *other people* worked in a factory. www.ft.com/content/8459...

Exclusive: Two days after the Social Security Administration purposely and falsely labeled 6,100 living immigrants as dead, security guards arrived at the office of a well-regarded senior executive in the agency’s Woodlawn, Maryland, headquarters.

Courts won’t save anyone. But making every procedural step a battle and a news story can help build political resistance. Keep it in the news. Keep the pressure on. Find points of solidarity and build a politics worth building.

Thank fucking god

It is absolutely critical that you bring this to the attention of your rep, red or blue. Call now: (202) 224-3121

One note: “Trump Tariff Surcharge.” If he can put his name on Covid checks, put his name on this.

It is undoubtedly true that the Administration is engaging in a shock & awe campaign through daily injustices to disable our feelings possibility & hope. But, in fact, this is backfiring. They are politicizing people, enraging them, and bringing us together in ways I didn’t think possible.

UPDATE: ICE is wildly unconcerned about where this man is and no one will tell me, his registered attorney. The universal answer so far is "let's wait and see where he ends up." This is deeply off. We would have more rights at this point if UPS had lost a pair of shoes I'd just bought from Zappos

My jaw actually dropped

7 months ago. Bring back Bidenomics.

have you ever heard of wine

Unless it's measles. Or COVID. Or syphilis.

As the economic news keeps coming out over the coming weeks keep one thing in mind: this is the fault of one man and didn’t need to happen.

Why does Craig act like the social customs of the Mid-Atlantic are a foreign and unrecognizable beast to him? Baby you’re from Delaware.

What we're seeing at #handsoff protests nationwide today and what we saw at the ballot box on Tuesday are not unrelated. The public is furious. It will not be silenced. And those who side with Trump and Musk—or refuse to fight back—will be swept out of office.
