In other countries, we recognize this immediately for what it is.

One of the oldest arguments against giving any rights or process to the people we accuse is — one constantly “rediscovered” by the shallow and the dim — is “well they didn’t give their victims any rights or process.” That’s fatuous. /1

A top Democratic congressman goes off during a DOGE hearing and calls out Elon for trying to cut Social Security. More of this please.

I continue to feel separated in every meaningful way from people who think this is okay. I’m not sure being their neighbor or their fellow citizen is an achievable or desirable goal.

Musk and Trump could not possibly be sending a clearer signal that the Tesla protests are working than this pathetic stunt today.

Does anyone know on what day it becomes Trump's economy? Is it after a year in office or how long?

Let's be really really clear. The Trump admin chose a Palestinian activist as the target of its first lawless political detention precisely BECAUSE they believe that will split the opposition. If you shrug at the abduction of Mahmoud Khalil, or worse, cheer it on, you're following Trump's script.

'Did you even say thank you?'

Yosemite National Park workers hang distress flag to protest Trump and Musk coming for their jobs.

As a journalist who covers extremism at the local level, I think it’s a mistake to view Trump’s Napoleonic statement as solely about presidential power. Consider if it’s interpreted as a wink and a nod for any extremist to act outside the law to “save” the country as they see fit

Consider the logic of the alleged quid pro quo with Eric Adams: You can [allegedly] accept bribes so a foreign country can build and open an unsafe building in your city, so long as you help combat individual migrants, many of them non-criminal.

Eric Adams was a disgrace from day one and now he's sold all of us to the Trump administration—including our most vulnerable neighbors. It's time for @govkathyhochul.bsky.social to fire him. Every minute she waits, she's sacrificing more New Yorkers. ENOUGH.

This is just one of thousands of harrowing stories told about the U.S. Government abandoning Americans abroad in the USAID shutdown. This is Benghazi times a million. 1/

SUPER BOWL CHAMPIONS! THIS ONE’S FOR YOU PHILLY!

if I understand American politics correctly, progressivism is something that requires 60 senate votes to work, while national conservatism doesn’t require any votes at all

an unelected billionaire storming into US agencies, installing his unqualified and unapproved lackeys, purging civil servants, seizing access to sensitive data and payments, unilaterally eliminating federal agencies: fine identifying the lackeys: illegal

This is how they cover up what abortion bans do — fire anyone who helps tell the stories of harm. Everyone who is or can be pregnant will pay the price. www.propublica.org/article/geor...
