Anyhoo, here's a paper about "the centrality of housing concerns in facilitating the Holocaust and the complicity of individuals in the exclusion of Jews for economic, ideological, and geographic reasons."

That’s not how it works. They are not lawful orders simply because DOJ tells them they are.
DOJ (longer):
“[T]he strikes were ordered consistent with the laws of armed conflict, and as such are lawful orders.
“Military personnel are legally obligated to follow lawful orders and, as such, are not subject to prosecution for following lawful orders.”

Starting to suspect anyone vowing to abolish ICE and prosecute these fuckers would win in a historic landslide
One thing I have marveled at is the way that crowds have been disciplined in capturing immigration enforcement’s lack of discipline.
Chaos erupted in Little Village.

AOC: I think he should be careful about what cities he threatens because as we see from this electorate—these are not people who take well to threats.

The collapse of Sliwa means that Cuomo executed the race he intended to run—he did all the things he was trying to do.
He just assumed the median NYC voter is an asshole, and it turns out she's not.

This is correct, and what we saw tonight is that the people aren't gonna put up with this shit. The No Kings Era is here to stay.
not to bring the vibe down, but my guess is that after tonight Trump will probably double down on gerrymandering, voter suppression, and intimidation as tactics to disincentivize Dem turnout ahead of next year‘s midterms. (with margins like these, it won’t matter, but it’s a time to be vigilant)

Perfect. Off the dome.
PHILLIP: Republicans are saying that Chuck Schumer is afraid of you. Is he?
AOC: I don't think so. Sen. Schumer and I have worked together. I think Republicans are afraid of me and they project their fear onto him. So they're just telling on themselves when they say that.

If only there were, like, a memorable poem that warned about the dangers of acquiescing to authoritarianism bit by bit so long as the authoritarians aren’t coming for you, with the warning that they will, eventually, come for you and you probably should have been speaking up all along. Oh well!
there are two schools of thought on protecting Jewish safety in America: we either fight for a pluralistic democracy where we are safe because minority rights are protected or we seek junior partner status in the MAGA white nationalist alliance

I think a lot about this quote from Anaïs Nin’s diary from 1939-1944:
“America is in even greater danger because of its cult of toughness, its hatred of sensitivity, and someday it may have to pay a price for this, because atrophy of feeling creates criminals”.

Putting the ‘Public’ Back in Public Editor.
When the NYT eliminated its Public Editor position, it said that ‘readers across the internet’ could do the same job, better. Here is what I learned from unexpectedly giving that system a try.
