Why do ICE thugs wear masks?
A: so they can’t be sued, prosecuted, and jailed later for their abuse.

Gift link for a fascinating & characteristically problematic NYTimes article:

What's problematic is the wholesale importation (pun intended) of the empty-headed zero-sum Trumpian view of trade. China sells & finances African solar, which is bad because...Africa won't build solar factories? C'mon
Cheap Solar Is Transforming Lives and Economies Across Africa

@governor.ca.gov Hey Gov. Newsom... how about inviting all the Kennedy Center cancellation artists to a venue here in CA? A few free shows then some decent prices. Hollywood Bowl? Greek Theater? Pasadena stadium? Indoors? Outdoors? We got them all!!

This is my favorite sentence in a long while. From Doug Varone, whose dance company lost $40,000 by canceling two Kennedy Center gigs planned for next April:

“It is financially devastating but morally exhilarating.”

Kristy Lee, a folk singer from Alabama, announced she was pulling out from a free (Kennedy Center concert) on Jan. 14. “I won’t lie to you, canceling shows hurts,” she said in a social media post. But losing my integrity would cost me more than any paycheck.”

Trump posted a clip to his Truth Social account Wednesday that suggested the Kennedy name be removed entirely from the Kennedy Center. The clip complained that Kennedy had been “elevated to obscene levels.”

Kristy Lee cancelling her Kennedy Center performance.

Now that's a solid statement.

Trump is now left with Nicki Minaj, who's shopping for a pardon for her sentenced-to-life child-rapist brother.

Or Stephen Miller doing ventriloquism with his Trump puppet.

Anyone who thinks that Trump's tariffs are going to make any significant difference in restoring manufacturing are fooling themselves. Trump's tariffs are about transferring more of the tax burden onto the lower classes, while he exempts big businesses that pay him off.

My stance with the “never Trump” right remains: These are the people who fucking built Trump. Years of shit in service of Reagan, Bush, Romney, McCain paved the way for Trump. I don’t trust them. They’re rotten. I trust the people who opposed this shit all along.

Every single day, it makes more and more sense for Ed Davey and the Liberal Democrats to wheel out a soapbox - perhaps a literal soapbox, since he loves his stunts - and shout: "LET'S REJOIN THE EU".

Not the CU. Not the SM. Go the whole hog and be done with it.

Millions of people will cheer.

And no, Native Americans do not want their equivalent of the N-word being used in any way, especially for the fucking name of a sports team.
