This administration made the decision that keeping immigration enforcement fully staffed was more important than keeping air traffic control staffed. That was a DECISION. Everyone needs to know that.

If any other president in all of history said the military should use American cities as a training ground he would be removed from office that same day. The hardest thing to tolerate in all this is how relatively silent elected democrats are. It’s ridiculous.

I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable

Revoking degrees? Is an American University actually claiming they can do this? For free speech and protest?

This admin telegraphs it’s contempt for the law by acting like a 5yo arguing on the playground. “You can’t catch me. I was in international waters… He used a fancy pen… It doesn’t count.” These are not serious people, and they are not making good faith arguments. We are in a constitutional crisis!

In case you were wondering, they are going full-out antisemitic against the Jewish judge that blocked Khalil’s deportation.
Because none of this is about countering antisemitism. It’s about weaponizing (real) antisemitism to undermine democracy and the rule of law.

good to watch. but there's one part in here that most will probably overlook. stability, the constitution and the rule of law are magnets for capital. an elemental observation that's at the root of basically every study of economics and capitalism.

This may be the biggest free speech crisis in living memory. The president now bragging about detaining a lawful permanent resident and smearing him as 'pro Hamas', no outlining any specific crimes he is accused of or charged with. This is what a fascist takeover looks like.

Hint: it’s because the movies sucked this last year. Trust me, I saw most of them.
The Oscars' ratings plunged Sunday roughly 7% from last year, raising questions about whether the broadcast will continue its decades-long run on Disney’s ABC.

I know the material reasons for the rise of fascism. I also think another reason - which doesn’t get talked about as much because it’s embarrassing that humans can be that naive - is that when you are financially comfortable but bored, abstract cruelty can give you a sense of purpose.
