We’ve talked about “Alligator Alcatraz” before. Here are more details.

Starting the first week of July, when South Florida’s heat index regularly hits 100°F, they plan to detain up to 5,000 people in tents. No A/C. No real shelter. Just suffocating heat, choking humidity, and swarms of mosquitoes.

“In sadness, I dissent.”

It’s like they are motivated to make themselves obsolete. 😒🤯
Why does the Supreme Court and Congress continue to expand the power of the executive branch without hesitation? Is the fix in? If they swear an oath to the Constitution and truly either represent the people or the law, expanding executive power while limiting or giving up their own makes no sense.

As big as the Mamdani win is, Landers ascent is in some ways even more significant for the national Democratic Party.

Most Dem electeds know that they don't have what Zohran has. But most can at least imagine themselves as a Lander.
NYC Comptroller Brad Lander: "I don't think the line for the [Democratic] party right now is between progressives and moderates; I think it's between fighters and folders."

Consider donating to Friends of the Everglades and the Center for Biological Diversity. They’ve filed a federal lawsuit in U.S. District Court to try and stop “Alligator Alcatraz” before it opens.

President Biden pays his respects to the Minnesota lawmaker, her husband, and dog that were murdered. This is what leadership looks like.

This is despicable! 💔
“Is there any sign of life?”
“Have we heard a heartbeat?”
“Does she feel any kicking?”
“We don’t have the equipment to do that.”

That’s the full 911 audio from a nurse inside an ICE detention center near Denver, calling for help as a four-months-pregnant woman bled and cried out in pain.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:

1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long

All lies.

I really really needed to see that people hadn't given up and accepted this shit as inevitable, or (even worse) embraced it.

And today showed us that beautifully.

Horrifying news out of Minnesota this morning as political violence takes the lives of Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark. @Chasten and I are holding their loved ones in our hearts and praying for State Senator John Hoffman and his wife Yvette as they recover.

The targeted attack on Minnesota state lawmakers, Sen. John Hoffman and Rep. Melissa Hortman, is absolutely horrific.

Violence like this has no place in a democracy.

I’m praying for their healing, their families, and every public servant who has to wonder if doing their job makes them a target.
