I listened to an excellent interview of Mark Carney recently by @profgalloway.com, and was struck by Carney’s comment that it was not simply Trump’s belligerent annexationist rhetoric that shocked Canadians, but the muted reaction of US business and civil society leaders. There’s a lesson there.

This may be why Kash deleted his tweet. He claims Dugan "intentionally misdirected federal agents" away from Eduardo Flores Ruiz. But that's not the allegation. She allegedly directed him to leave via chambers, but didn't hide his ID. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

This is another case that's somewhat bizarre. The judge seems to have been hosting three Venezuelan men with pending immigration court cases in his house. Unclear why, but there's nothing illegal about that. ICE says they're all Tren de Aragua, which I seriously doubt.

We, the penguins of Heard Island, are flabbergasted by today’s news. A human judge arrested by the FBI? Not only is that a flippery slope in justice and Democracy, but it’s likely because they wear black and white accented robes, in support of our Government. Unbelievable.

Why do reporters who see the same things themselves - that they can replay in video - just let public figures lie. Look at the video. Why let Henry’s lie about white progressives leading this action go unchecked? What is the point of journalism if not to state the obvious?

Cuomo was a disaster as governor who showed himself to be absolutely devoid of any ethical integrity or inspiring policy vision. He's famous for covering up Covid deaths in nursing homes, serially sexually harassing people, and promoting himself. Why would anyone vote for him?

1/ Incredible reporting from @syracuse.com's @mbreidenbach.bsky.social & @ryleekirk.bsky.social on the brutal tactics CPB is taking in that region. If we still had a robust local press we'd be hearing a lot more stories like this from all over the country. www.syracuse.com/news/2025/04...

The reason civil rights activists called their marches and protests “demonstrations” was because they were staged to demonstrate the evils of discrimination and anti-democratic rule. It’s an essential step in effecting change.

HUGE WIN! A preliminary injunction was granted in the trans passport case. For now, it only applies to the plaintiff but they can seek class certification soon and extend it to everyone seeking to change gender markers on passports. www.courtlistener.com/docket/69623...
