People are SICK OF THIS SHIT. So many people. So sick. Of so much shit. Nothing is a distraction. Everything is one person's last straw. The people most sensitive to changing vibes--politicians and right-wing grifters--have started acting like the tide is turning. BE THE TIDE, Y'ALL.

You don’t have to know everything. You’re not going to know everything, but you don’t have to seek out everything. There’s enough bad happening in the world that you will lose yourself if you try to know all of it. Take care of yourself, you’re no good to anyone if you’re catatonic

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.

I went to El Salvador hoping to meet with Kilmar and check on his well-being, and I had the chance to do that last night. Our courts have been clear: this was an ILLEGAL abduction. I’m speaking now about my meeting with Kilmar and our work to bring him home:

I find myself getting sincerely emotional about this. That he’s, under the circumstances, okay. That his wife and kids know this after an agonizing month without him. That a Democratic politician cared enough to go and see him, even after getting told no at first. Trying matters. Fighting works.

Let's be clear: Ed Martin has no power here. The government has no business demanding information about a journal's editorial decisions or its positions on "misinformation." CHEST should let Ed Martin know that the cavity he should stick it in is not within their remit.

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

“No time can be easy if one is living through it,” said the great writer James Baldwin. This is a reminder that the present looks different from inside of it. It's important from time to time to try to look at the current moment from outside of it, to try for a little distance from the daily slog.

There are a lot of bad things happening all at once, and it’s overwhelming to think about how to meet moments like this. Jean says to focus on 1 or 2 things that you care about, understand fairly well, and are either local or involve a topic where you’re likely to have influence and find community

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you. The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

Honestly I'm glad they picked Harvard to try out this novel "we're mad" legal theory of revoking tax-exempt status, given its infinite resources, deep network of powerful alumni, and law school attended by 142 sitting federal judges. Good luck! 🫡

I've been saying for a while now that every stupid, vicious, hamhanded cut to an anonymous but essential program makes some small number of people—thousands, tens of thousands—the permanent, mortal enemy of this administration. Over time, it adds up.
