This is the greatest non-handshake since Wayne Bridges / John Terry (though Doug Emhoff came close with Bruce Fischer). That’s what happens when you side with dictators against your allies.

Wikipedia needs donations, for real. I hope they're able to stand firm against this guy. He seems to back down as soon as he's challenged, or at least Georgetown Law was able to back him off ....

The message is that this administration can get anyone, at anytime, anywhere. The message is that the law is theirs to use as a weapon. This cannot be allowed to continue. Arrests. Disappearances. This is not acceptable and this is not tenable. We have to fight. Hard. Now.

I honestly thought that he would just coast on Biden's economy and take credit for it --- which would have been the smart thing to do. But dang.

If it’s true that their only “evidence” against this judge is that she advised someone to leave out a side door, this is complete banana republic bullshit and should be unequivocally condemned by both parties.

🧵 But also - for those lamenting being unable to eat fresh, raw veggies (like salads) - you can grow these, at least in the spring/summer/fall. Even on a windowsill or in containers on a patio, you don't NEED a garden. Lots of books about how to do so. www.barnesandnoble.com/w/bountiful-...

I can't be the only one scanning articles like this for where the researchers are based, so I can assess the likelihood the research will continue to be funded, & actually end up available to the public. *Also predicting an entire political party will refuse this vaccine if it becomes necessary.

Where did Pope Francis go wrong with America's right-wing Catholic bloggers? For one thing, his celibacy was voluntary.

I feel like Alice in "Through the Looking Glass." The fundamentalist evangelical uber-wealthy MAGA governor of #Montana --- has designated that American flags shall be flown at half-staff until after the funeral for #PopeFrancis? A Pope who was the antithesis of everything #Gianforte is & does?

Really hoping that National Gallery of Art's lawyer's conversation with the DOGE code-boys was something along the lines of, "I wish a mofo would, BRING IT." And that then, they are swatted down.

🧵 My little red town in my brick-red state was the site of a hastily-planned "No Kings" rally today, & I have some thoughts about how it went, as well as about future rallies. Sharing in case this is helpful for anyone. (1/14)

Moment of joy mixed with the dystopia today: I made a (long) playlist of music that my Mom's favorite radio station played when I was a kid (think Northern Exposure's "Chris in the Morning," in rural Montana). It has been lovely as I've been spring cleaning in the kitchen.

I'm old enough to remember the Cheato supporting folks around me who ranted about how he was going to "finally" take care of the NC Hurricane Helene damage, & sobbed over how the good people of NC were being "ignored" by FEMA.* *False, all of it. Clearly, even about the aid for NC.

Writing an op-ed is not illegal activity. They are revoking visas for thought crimes and for constitutionally protected expression.

THIS, THIS. It is appalling (but not surprising) that so many people who *claim* to revere our Founding Fathers are so ignorant of them.

Hmm I wonder what the long term strategy is behind replacing birth certificates, over which the federal government has no control at all, with passports, over which the Executive Branch has nearly exclusive control, as a foundational document for citizenship and voting.
