Every day since Trump took office we have seen more and more degradation to society. History will not look favorably on Republicans who do not stand up to the MAGA cult. Your legacy is what you inspire, so get ready to be cursed by future generations, you abject idiots.

I just landed in San Salvador a little while ago, and I look forward to meeting with the team at the U.S. embassy to discuss the release of Mr. Abrego Garcia.

I also hope to meet with Salvadoran officials and with Kilmar himself. He was illegally abducted and needs to come home.

An extinction burst causes fading behavior to spike before vanishing. In U.S. politics, outrage surges as losing groups resist change. This reaction reflects a desperate grasp for past influence. The old white male ideal is fading, triggering backlash from those clinging to it.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.
