Wrote a thing: ...at the heart of it is another Trumpian Big Lie, that immigrants are a burden and menace. We need to fight the false story with a true one: this country needs its immigrants and they are a blessing and an enrichment of what this country is and in many ways its heart and soul.
Immigrants: A Love Letter
It has never been easy to be an immigrant to the United States – for most economic, linguistic, and cultural barriers make life here a struggle, even if they were escaping a worse life elsewhere. The ...

This is devastating. We no longer have any sort of safety net and are all one pandemic away from disaster and death.

Why we are where we are. People who watch r w media will never leave it. It’s their meth. Congress should have created new, functional fairness doctrine legislation, or found a way to regulate the lies.
The man who tried to assassinate Trump was a gun-loving Trump supporter who later turned on him.
Right-wing media blamed Democrats, because of course.
The alleged Minnesota shooter is an anti-abortion Christian nationalist w/ a list with other Dems as targets.
They're still blaming liberals.

But I JUST want to remind everyone that the Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Black woman, was just indicted for just asking questions at an ICE detention center in her state
Keep that same energy of support for her

Everything the maga controlled congress does is a sham. They don’t want to get answers. They want to attack people-mostly democrats or independents who come in good faith. They have no interest in upholding their oath. They are performing for Donnie Demento.

It was very upsetting to watch Se. Padilla be tackled. It’s upsetting but not surprising the puppy killer lied about it. Dem. Senators are speaking to an empty chamber about this. Republicans are traitors.
Here is Senator Alex Padilla's entire full statement after being detained by Donald Trump and Kristi Noem's Department of Homeland Security.
Like he said, if they're doing this to a sitting Senator, imagine what they're doing to other people.
Unconscionable.

Our house is on fire and there is no escape.
Senator Alex Padilla of California was removed by force from Kristi Noem’s presser and handcuffed for his free speech. This is what a fascist regime does that rejects the laws of the US. It should horrify every American. Let’s stop pretending we are approaching authoritarian rule. We are there.

In my worst nightmares the teenagers at DOGE take over the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and, yup, here we are.
The White House just dropped an executive order significantly shaking up operations at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the government’s nuclear safety regulator widely regarded as the “gold standard” for global nuclear power safety operations.

CNN is worthless and should be avoided
The most corrupt administration in American history by far, we are only 4 months in, and he hasn’t come close to the depths of depravity he is mining.
But tune into CNN for updates on a dinner party in 2023 where Biden used the wrong fork.

Of course they’ll confirm him. Some of the most privileged white men think they and their families will survive the devastation and they’re so scared of the dictator they elected.
Republicans are cruising toward confirming Jay Bhattacharya as NIH director, an academic who made a huge mistake about the most serious health crisis to confront the US in a century and refuses to acknowledge he erred big-time.
