The cruelty in today's politics feels horribly corrosive. Bringing up that hard-working immigrant families — undocumented, yes, but not violent criminals — are being ripped apart based on immigration status doesn't bring compassion or even pause, but gleeful cheers.

In my opinion, Trump's shift on this issue ("stop raiding farms and hotels") demonstrates the US needs to have an honest conversation about the role of undocumented immigrants in this country. And who constitutes this population. I'm afraid the rhetoric has already poisoned the well.
SCOOP: The Trump admin has abruptly shifted the focus of its mass deportation campaign, telling ICE officials to largely pause raids and arrests in the agricultural industry, hotels and restaurants, according to an internal email and three officials with knowledge.

We’re only two months in, & they’re cancelling research into pediatric brain cancer. They’re deporting US kids with brain cancer. They’re putting millions at risk of malaria, TB, & polio.
I for one will never forgive or forget those who said ‘it won’t be that bad’.

There's something grimly ironic about Trump, whose criminal guilt was quite clear based on public information, managing to land in the White House rather than a prison cell thanks to dragging out Due Process, now handwaving process away and assuming the right to brand criminals by fiat.

You're never delighted after dropped points but I thought Liverpool were genuinely brilliant in that second half and deserved more. In the end, you take a good point, a tough away game out of the way, and a still-healthy lead at the top.

one thing I'd encourage folks to remember is that today's political landscape may be full of "let's buy Greenland" but in 6-12 months time it's more likely to be "we're in a housing crisis" (www.housingwire.com/articles/mor...)

this 6th circuit ruling killing net neutrality reads like a Verizon press release.
U.S. net neutrality rules were very modest, never actually enforced by a broadly feckless FCC, and are popular across a bipartisan majority of Americans, yet the court declares them "heavy handed"

Not a huge believer in tipping points, but there was about a one-month period when everyone seemed truly appalled and we could have collectively agreed to ensure something like this would not happen again.

The greatest failure of the modern Democratic Party is the apparent belief that basic elements of politics -- selling your policies to voters and reminding them what you did for them -- is somehow tacky and beneath them.
It is hard to understate how silent Democrats went after Biden won. The right filled the vacuum with bullshit and aside from an obscure message or two from the White House, the GOP dominated. It didn’t have to be but Democrats don’t believe in comms. That’s a big reason we are here.

We don't appreciate Nick Offerman nearly as much as we should.
You're synonymous with being a man's man. What was the last thing that made you cry?
I went to theatre school. I took two semesters of ballet. I'm the sissy in my family. I cry with pretty great regularity. It's not entirely accurate to equate me with manliness. I stand for my principals and I work hard and I have good manners but machismo is a double-sided coin. A lot of people think it requires behavior that can quickly veer into misogyny and things I consider indecent. We've been sold this weird John Wayne mentality that fistfights and violence are vital to being a man. I'd rather hug than punch. Crying at something that moves you to joy or sadness is just as manly as chopping down a tree or punching out a bad guy. To answer your question, I recently saw Alicia Keys perform live. I'd never seen her before and the sheer golden, heavenly talent issuing from her and her singing instrument had both my wife and me in tears. What a gorgeous gift she has. Her voice is so great. And I had no shame [about crying.] If you live your life openly with your emotions, that's a more manly stance than burying them.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:iipz2fdfgw3yyo37zwarr3n2/bafkreiftfeqcjvstbqhexxuksrtvsrkf6nb4c54kfjba5zzke3sqxzz4qu@jpeg)
