At some point, will Dems quit with the poorly trained line? I know it's fun to shitpost about the new recruits, but DHS has always been bad.

Thus the revolutionary who insists that capital and fascism will be defeated by purely external processes (the hanging of the capitalists, the expropriation of the means of production) digs her own grave. "He who speaks of revolution without mentioning everyday life has a corpse in his mouth"

For The Ringer, I wrote about how amazing it was that the brilliant Catherine O'Hara finally became a superstar in her 60s, and how sad it is that she was taken from us just when we had all finally begun to appreciate her:
Catherine O’Hara Could Do Anything
And she pretty much did everything. The only tragedy is that it feels like she was just beginning to get the recognition her decades-long career always deserved.

I love Catherine O’Hara and will miss her. But the regime has just arrested independent journalist Don Lemon. This is a constitutional five alarm fire and clear violation of the first amendment

Catherine O’Hara was an actual genius who was currently doing the best work of her entire life, there was obviously so so so much more to see from her. This sucks so bad, but it’s also inarguable that she went out on the top of her game in a way that we can all only pray happens in our own lives

NEW @ms.now: Pardoned by Trump, anti-abortion activists plan a nationwide revival of mass blockades at clinics & pharmacies that dispense abortion pills — in part, bc they know this DOJ won't prosecute them.

There's no ICE accountability without ending qualified immunity.
They're murdering people. There won't be justice for the lives they've stolen, but there must be accountability.
My bill with @markey.senate.gov would ensure families can sue the agents murdering their loved ones.

Ffs. We can't have 1 gdm win without someone of influence issuing a grave warning. The Nazi elf being run out of Minnesota is a win for the resistance, specifically Minnesotians. They now have a taste of their power and that will sustain them in the continuing fight
