Palestinian, black, trans lives matter. White people chose DEI instead of adhering to Civil Rights Act altogether. We’re still dealing w/after effects of Reconstruction & longstanding, feckless liberal class unwilling to confront fascists. MMT. Punch up.

I’ve never quite seen someone fail so consistently & gigantically as Trump & minions, literally backpedaling almost every time to the exit, fumbling their way thru what should be—by accounts yet another spectacularly, public fail—but basically, in the end, largely NOT incur the commensurate cost.

The US Holocaust Museum being more outraged by Tim Walz saying that, like Anne Frank, children today are in hiding from armed agents of the state, than they are about the fact that children are in hiding from armed agents of the state, is why Holocaust remembrance culture is in crisis.

Just tell Chuck the Bailey's want ICE gone
Majority of the country now wants to abolish and/or dismantle ICE and yet Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. told the caucus the message had to be to “restrain, reform and restrict ICE.”
Once again it looks like Schumer is about to choke after getting a massive opportunity.
So pathetic and weak.

They could have done this in January. All the human toll, pain and misery measured in bodies and lives since then
Senate Democrats agreed to block $64.4 billion in DHS funding until ICE is restrained. “The Trump administration and Kristi Noem are putting undertrained, combative federal agents on the streets with no accountability.” From Robert Kuttner:

this piece is fine—AND the headline & subhead still suck. just say in the headline what you end up saying in the piece. putting "" around "superhuman" & automatically need to caveat it's "good faith" play into RW frames that require the rest of us to cater to their conspiracies about lib press
Rather than change, Donald Trump tends to force the world to adapt to him. If there was a conspiracy of silence protecting Joe Biden when questions arose about his mental and physical decline, there’s a cacophony around Trump, Ben Terris writes.
‘The Superhuman President’
A good-faith attempt to ascertain the truth about Donald Trump’s health.

It is not an exaggeration at all - at all - to compare this to how segregationist terrorists would murder peaceful civil rights activists and then their political and civilian allies would immediately laugh about it.

When someone continually punches you in the mouth and your response is to wait a few days or even weeks to respond with a stern letter (sometimes, not even), eventually, the bully assumes that punching you in the mouth is ostensibly OK, so they keep doing it—because they are a bully.
