When Stephen Miller invades VA -- and he will -- it will set off an ever-loving backlash among right wing NatSec types.
NEW: Abigail Spanberger this afternoon ordered that all state agencies leave ICE's 287(g) program.
This means that the state police (and some other agencies) will no longer be empowered to detain and arrest people for ICE.
Big, big move by the governor within weeks of coming into office.

Virginia’s New Governor Ends ICE Program. Local Contracts Remain, For Now. - Bolts
Abigail Spanberger left the 287(g) program, which empowered state law enforcement to detain immigrants. Will Democrats also bar local police and sheriffs from the program?

Remember Ethan Saylor. 💔🙏
I'm glad to see some reporting on the risk to autistic individuals if they encounter a bunch of violent assholes who try to escalate every situation.

The charges against Don Lemon are ridiculous. He’s a target because he’s black, because he’s media, and because he’s a Trump critic, and because Trump and his minions cannot accept any dissent. It’s deeply pathetic, unamerican, and lawless.

So I realize that people can’t all make it to the street tonight. There is something you can do however. At 7 PM tonight step outside with a light or a candle. Stand with Minnesota.

I’m running for Congress in NY-12, my home.
We have a demented, criminal president running the country like a mob operation—government by the boss, for the boss.
We need Democratic fighters who will defend the rule of law and deliver government by the people. Join us.

Folks do realize that the road depicted as meandering through trees is the primary road out of DCA, right?
Arc de Trump or Arch de Narcissism?
This isn’t about history or patriotism. It’s a psychological tell. A president so insecure and obsessed with himself that he needs monuments, and gold trim in order to feel like a king. And we’re forced to watch him spiral in real time.

I just listened to the Morrison Mysteries: Snow Queen podcast. Based on Andersen’s fairy tale of the same name. I kept thinking how all of MAGA seems to have its hearts and eyes pierced by the mirror but no amount of pure love and tears can break this awful spell we are living under. Save us Gerda.
In a profile of Stephen Miller with @swin24.bsky.social, we reported he’s privately laughed off immigrant families’ “sob stories.”

Speaking last night on Fox about the spiked CECOT story, Miller laughed about how ‘60 Minutes’ is “trying to tell sob stories."

“It turns out that banishing the slur from public discourse was, in fact, important. Because now it’s back and it turns out that it does matter when subtext becomes actual text, when terrible people enable open hatred and bigotry, encouraging others to emulate them, degrading us all.”
Perry: The return of the r-word
"These days, the r-word slur has become a staple of the American right wing, uttered with few professional or social consequences," David M. Perry writes.
