When a person who tried to steal an election with an orchestrated insurrection tells you he’s going to protect future elections, you’re fucked. The time to deal with him is now America. The rest of us are doing our part. Your turn.

Wait until DHS wants social media sites to identify anyone and everyone *they* deem as posting "anti-Semitism."
We'll be in full Goebbel's mode then.

The second reported endangered North Atlantic right whale death this year and it isn't even March. A 3-year-old female.
For context, scientists think these animals can live until at least 70, but human activities kill them so often before that it's uncertain.

The 2029 Pretti Good Act will establish a commission to identify all agents, create a detailed accounting of all acts, and hold criminally liable as necessary. Agents who voluntarily and truthfully disclose will be granted some leniency, provided their crimes did not include murder or torture.
When I say this agency [ICE and CBP] CAN’T be reformed this is why.

AOC: "Extreme level of wealth inequality leads to social instability and drives authoritarianism, right-wing populism, and really dangerous domestic internal politics. That is a direct outcome of the failure of democracies over decades to deliver."

The so-called Save America Act will force 21 million American citizens to produce passports or birth certificates just to register to vote. Most do not have them ready. Turning paperwork into a barrier is a poll tax by another name. #HandsOffHerVote social.demcast.com/s/L9X3k1fQ

It also remains one of the saddest things about this whole sordid era: Bad enough to have a major party succumb to a demagogue, but it’s a personality cult around a doddering buffoon who is, along every personal, professional, and moral dimension, one of the least admirable humans on earth.
Trumpism is a personality cult. This is bad because the cultists have no loyalty to anything beyond Trump and no principles outside of pleasing Trump. But it also means Trumpism is unlikely to have much force without Trump himself.
House Oversight hearing on ICE opens with the rules:
"It is also a clear violation of the rules of the House to make statements that might personally be offensive to the President or the Vice President of the United States."

This is from my album of Saxophone Quintet Music. The group is Conical Boar and the track is called Two in the Bush. I composed the music and played all of the sax tracks at my home studio.
