Okay so you know I like to remind everyone how the American immigration system has been cruel for a very long time. But loading people on flights to deport them to countries that they are not from, like Iranians to Panama, is not business as usual.

"In other countries, this would be called 'an authoritarian coup.' In America, mealy-mouthed officials call our transition into a mafia state 'deeply troubling' and do little to curb the damage." -- HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT (2020)

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

Republicans will soon bring forward a “reconciliation” bill, that encapsulates the value system of greed and their obedience to oligarchy. It is the economic essence of Trumpism. It will make the rich richer & the poor poorer. It must be defeated. And we can defeat it.

While everyone is focused on what DOGE is doing, Elon Musk is quietly spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on an April Wisconsin Supreme Court race. This race could have electoral consequences in future elections, like 2028 in a crucial swing state. Pay attention.

At the behest of Wall Street donors, Congressional Republicans are trying to overturn the CFPB's new rule against predatory overdraft fees. The rule would have capped overdraft charges at $5, saving consumers $5B annually. The GOP is the party of junk fees.

AP is banned from WH events and all the other legacy journalists walk right in. If this was the 60s, we know who would have been with the Freedom Riders, and who would’ve been writing about them from a safe place. AP stands alone. Sad but true.

We don’t yet have enough information to assign blame to Trump and Musk for these plane crashes. However, we can conclude it’s a bad idea to slash the budgets and staff at NTSB and FAA and they should stop doing that.

Republicans in Congress have devoted their professional life to obtaining power and are now content to sit by and let Trump and Musk make their positions irrelevant by repeatedly violating the law.

I never forget that we’re in a constitutional crisis/coup and that Elon Musk and Trump are the cause of it. In the face of Congressional cowardice, going to start working the Tesla angle hard.

The tornado alert test siren just went off and it was as comforting as music. I couldn't figure out why I got teary-eyed until I realized it was relief at a functional alarm system, one that's still funded, one that still works, blaring the same way it always does on the first Monday of the month.

I'm sorry, but "they took over the whole federal payments system, fired the career staff, and won't let anybody see what they're doing" is not a situation in which you wait for more information. It's a situation in which you assume the worst. There's no explanation for it other than rampant crimes.

Elon Musk is planning to spend millions in Democratic Primaries in 2026 to push the most right-leaning Democrats. He created ‘RBG PAC,’ which he will legally funnel money into for ads that will confuse voters. Democrats can do away with this money in primaries. They must.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

My cat Mac gets increasingly frustrated by the cat who lives next door and is allowed to roam outside. Sometimes I'll be in bed and I'll hear him body slamming the kitchen window trying to get to her. He's a meaty dude, so the thuds are... Intense.

While Republicans are trying to change to Constitution to allow Trump to serve a third term, Democrats met today to talk about social media strategy and tuna melts. Not a joke. Democrats need to clean house. This is not a party serious about serving us.

Yesterday, reporter Sam Husseini was dragged out of the White House Press Room for asking questions about Gaza. We should all be alarmed by journalists being forcibly removed from asking questions. It’s a step further towards authoritarianism and must not be ignored.
