The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Where are our "opposition leaders"?
Here's how you can tell we don't have any. Let's do a thought exercise: if Trump decided to throw the main opposition leader out a window, Putin- style, who would it be? The fact that I can't come up with anyone is a sign there are no obvious leaders...

So we Americans can't directly recall a president, can't force new early elections, and can't immediately replace the representatives/senators that can remove him. So what do we do now? And where are our opposition leaders - not the politicians, that ones who will lead us to action of some kind?

This country desperately needs an opposition leader...and we do not have one.

Don't you think that if a Democrat - any Democrat - came out and proclaimed, "Here's how we'll fix all the toothless laws that Trump has broken, and here's how we're going to dismantle ICE and prosecute all of them - plus all of corrupt Trump lackeys", they'd be the 2028 frontrunner in seconds? 1/2

I’ve been writing Popular Information for 8 years, and this is one of the most important stories I’ve ever published. This is a humanitarian crisis that has gone unreported.
ICE has stopped paying for detainee medical treatment
ICE halted payments in October, and the situation will persist for at least several more months

I genuinely think one thing that trips up folks on the left is that they can't imagine not sharing certain core values. Lemme explain. Here's an intuition pump:

So, @kenwhite.bsky.social, what are the odds this administration & its' incompetent lapdog DOJ steps on its own dick trying to prosecute Maduro?
I say they screw up & fail to convict, or it gets overturned on appeal, or they accidentally expose some secret sources or methods - or all of the above.

You know how they have laws named after people, like "Megan's Law"? We need a new law that taxes the crap out of billionaires and especially trillionaires - and we can call it "Elon's Law". Nobody needs a trillion dollars...

It'd be a shame if this idea went viral....
Everyone do what they want, “you be you,” but my humble hope is that as many people as possible carry American flags to the Oct. 18 rally. That will make for the images that will most infuriate the Republicans and best sway the moderates.

Thinking about the billionaires and their doomsday bunkers: At work, they tell us they need to "burn the boats like Cortez" so there's no choice but to succeed. But at home they're building bunkers because they aren't committed to making society succeed if that means giving up some of their money...

This is interesting - because after almost 40 years as a professional software engineer, yesterday I used AI "vibe coding" for the first time. Frankly I was surprised how quickly it created some mostly reasonable code, and it got the boss off my case by getting the work done quickly. But... 1/x

Remember when we used to think that laws and the Constitution and due process was what made America strong and great?
The Felon and his administration now think those laws and courts and due process - and ultimately the Constitution - make us weak, and only by ignoring all that can we be strong...
