This story details that the teen they detained for six months was just about to graduate high school early at the age of 16.

Definitely the kind of irredeemable criminal monster we don’t want in America.

This insanity has to stop.
EXCLUSIVE: In an interview with Michael Scherer, Donald Trump threatened Venezuela’s interim leader, Delcy Rodríguez, with a fate worse than Maduro’s; defended regime change in the country; and expressed renewed interest in the U.S. seizing Greenland.
Trump: Delcy Rodríguez Might Be Next
The president told The Atlantic that the interim Venezuelan president will meet a fate worse than Maduro’s unless she complies with U.S. wishes.

Rough vibes on this website today, likely because people feel Hopeless and Helpless Because Can't Stop It and No One Who Is Supposed To Is Trying To So Now We're Fighting Each Other™. I recommend activities such as book, or potentially instrument if you like instrument, or even do talk on phone.

@jamellebouie.net always nails it.

And is talented at social media.

I’m hoping to see his voice continue to be elevated.
yep. i can identify any number of structural issues but at the end of the day the basic problem is the republican party. this has been apparent for at least 20 years. it is also an incredibly unpopular observation to make among “serious” people.
Right.

If you want a good explanation of why the American system of government worked well enough for 200 years and then suddenly stopped, it's because Republicans in Congress suddenly started letting their partisan interests COMPLETELY override their institutional interests

Weirdly, Obama didn’t have Twitter up in the situation room while monitoring the Bin Laden raid.
Trump just posted this photo of the sharpest minds in our intelligence community hard at work during the Venezuelan operation.

The hedgies seem to believe there is or shortly will be something called a government in VZ, and that it'll be safe for them to travel there in March.

It's almost like the hedgies knew more about this invasion than Congress.

Just as a practical matter, how is the United States going to “run Venezuela” after the overnight abduction raid. Do US forces currently control an airport? A television station? A major road?

Wow.
Large law firms are siding with Trump over their clients and employees. Let me give you one statistic to exemplify this:

DOJ is suing 22 states for access to sensitive voter data.

My firm of 60 lawyers is fighting in all 22.

Not a single big law firm is fighting along side us in any case.

This whole fucking thread, man...
In 2019, the rate of fatal police shootings in the US was 3.1 per million residents. By contrast, the rate in France was 0.14 per million, and in Germany, it was lower.

In Germany, police officers discharged a total of 85 bullets at people in the entire year of 2011.
I’ve said it and I believe it is true

There is a willful forgetting and suppression of the memory of the hundreds of protests that shook this nation for the past decade and a half. So while Canadians and European laypeople whine “Americans don’t do anything,” the Americans are actively suppressed

The Brazen Cruelty of the Trump Regime
Its plan to warehouse immigrants has shades of Nazi concentration camps and America's shameful imprisonment of Japanese Americans during World War II.
