NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka.
I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws.
Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

US farmers are saying they "just need temporary help, until things get better."
Here's the thing. US farm exports- which are mostly soy- CANNOT get better.
Other countries expanded their soy industries to fill China's demand.
We've walled ourselves out of the global market, folks. This is it.

The broader witch hunt going on right now is the habituation process to condition the population to understand that there are two sets of rules. Conservative white men who can say and do whatever they want and everyone else who must live in fear for any actual or perceived slight.

Just some “light” pre-bed reading that I am stuffing with post-its since it is a library book. My urge to add marginalia in this one is STRONG! I may need to buy my own copy so I can give into the urge. 🤣

I am at a new location for a Church’s Texas Chicken. I have been in the drive thru line for nearly 40 minutes and they have helped only 4 cars total in that time (literally). There are still 8 cars ahead of me
I might die in this line, but I promised my family chicken… 🤷♀️ (🤣)

I was planning to apply for #PSLF this year but with the dismantling of the #DOE and the fact that (from what I have read) they have already stopped processing income based repayment plan apps (which PSLF requires)…I’m basically feeling completely screwed. 😭
Anyone have any insights on this?

in what meaningful way can we say that the constitution is in effect when an unelected and unaccountable billionaire is wielding state power to unilaterally cancel congressional appropriations?

I refused to watch the #SuperBowl with Humpty Dumpty there this year, but did find a TikTok channel that was streaming LIVE during the halftime show. #KendrickLamar ending with “TV Off” was kind of brilliant.
I scrolled away from the TT Live after that too. 🤣
