College Lecturer in Comp and Lit, not a doctor. Sarcastic tiny person. Death snob. Depressed since birth.
This seems logical.
Yeah okay, abolish ICE or whatever OR

Eliminate the Department of Homeland Security altogether. Move TSA back to Transportation and restore FEMA as an independent agency. Sort the other half-dozen component agencies back into their natural homes.

Less criminal abuse and around $40 billion savings.

While this batch of students really worked to have a good draft for peer review, the final essays are lacking in analysis, argument, and correct citation. The jump from a proposal and feedback to the essay seems to have stymied them. At least no one yet has turned in an AI-written monster.

I don't live in any of the places with major elections. Nonetheless, I am a bit giddy about VA, NJ, and NYC wins.

Know what they plan and protest when they try!
Make no mistake…MAGA handlers will prop a dead trump up in order to fulfill the rest of project 2025. Continue to fight for democracy. Vote Blue ALL THE WAY!

I love this kind of behind the scenes material. Show us what does and doesn't work.

Exactly. I seem to know more about what is going on in DC and I live in AL.
Not being even vaguely sarcastic:

At some point, a journalist needs to ask Johnson “you regularly claim you have no idea what your own government is doing. If we take you at your word, how are you so poorly informed, and do you this level of ignorance should disqualify you as speaker?”
Q: What's your message to the 170 US citizens who have been detained by ICE? About 20 of them are children

MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know what you're talking about with the children. I haven't seen that so I'm not going to comment on it.

This photo of red troops from Texas invading Illinois over a fake emergency is raising some significant questions for those who watched the televised address Pete Kegstand gave to hundreds of generals, admirals and commanders recently, a speech that already lives in infamy as the "No Fatties Speech"

Mark Kelly: “lf you are undocumented in our country, you cannot get healthcare from the Affordable Care Act exchange. You are not eligible for Medicare. You are not eligible for Medicaid. They’re just making that up. They just like to blame brown people.”

If you are concerned about the safety of those "inside" then help them instead of creating monsters for you to fight.
So, why is the Trump Administration gifting Argentina $20 billion dollars for “infrastructure” when Natives on the Navajo Nation Reservation must have water trucked in because reservation water is polluted from decades of non-Native mining?

A strong nation, like a strong person, can afford to be gentle, firm, thoughtful, and restrained. It can afford to extend a helping hand to others. It is a weak nation, like a weak person, that must behave with bluster and boasting and rashness and other signs of insecurity.

@diedrichbader.bsky.social You just met my son at a con in Chattanooga and told him he was eerily like your son. If you would like to contribute to his future, feel free. Also I'd go on a Viking river cruise with a CLE/Drew Carey theme.

SSI lawyer says because of age, fact he returned to work after FMLA leave, & DOGE/Trump changes, my husband with 10 different health issues can't get disability for at least 2 years if we apply now. If he applies for unemployment (laid off from NASA) still 4 years until early retirement. We're tired

The union representing the musicians from Jimmy Kimmel’s band releases a statement calling the FCC’s pressure on Disney “state censorship.”

We need more statements like this. Don't let them silence citizens' voices.
