People should remember that one of the reasons Nazis are so bad at everything is because they’re Nazis. They’re ideological and part of their ideology is to purge anyone who doesn’t, and purging “undesirables”. This narrows their talent pool. They don’t - and can’t - understand this.

When an ICE agent confronts you is "when your due process ends," says the member of Congress from the largest border district.

So you can't copyright anything you write with it, and if you use it to actually create something, they will own a piece.

This company and this entire business model is for Suckers and Dopes only.
Lmao the bubble is fit to burst, boys

This is a hysterical and insane choice, I hope they follow through!

I still hear this Fozzie bear comedy regularly. The response I’ve settled on is dead stare.

They always want a response. They don’t care if they know otherwise. So I just look at them like they’re stupid and let the silence deflate them.

this goes well beyond alarming I think
Here are the items the FBI seized from Washington Post reporter Hannah Natanson: a recorder, two laptops, an external drive, a smart watch, an iPhone. Her December article mentioned that she stored reporting notes on an encrypted external drive, so guessing it's this one.

I maintain a thing that kind of in a tension: nonviolence is a superior strategy for creating change as long as it is an actual choice.

Those who make peaceful change impossible make violent change inevitable only when violent change becomes an option. It does not happen on its own.

Good advice from Ezra.
The reason rank and file Dems are pissed at their party is because their party doesn't lead in key moments. The good news is it's primary season, and now's when we get to demand better leadership. I recommend everybody adopt 1 or 2 DINOs and dedicate yourself to replacing them with Dems who fight.
DHS spending bill passed 220-207

7 Democrats voted in favor:
Henry Cuellar
Don Davis
Laura Gilles
Marie Gluesenkamp Perez
Jared Golden
Vicente Gonzalez
Tom Suozzi

Massie voted No
Andy Harris didn't vote

Might not have passed if every Democrat voted No, but leadership wasn't whipping them to do so

The notion of charging a black journalist under the KKK Act because he covered a pro-immigrant protest at a white Christian nationalist church is just so cartoonishly goddamned sinister. It also won't go anywhere.

But they're absolutely relishing it.

DOJ Says It May Use KKK Act To Prosecute Don Lemon For Reporting On Church ICE Protest
"It’s notable that I’ve been cast as the face of a protest I was covering as a journalist," the former CNN host said.

This video filmed by Ben Luhmann shows the moment a federal agent sprayed chemical irritants directly into a man's face in south Minneapolis.

Three agents already had the man pinned to the ground when a fourth agent walked up and sprayed the irritants.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!

ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.

An underrated factor in "why don't people in wealthy societies have more kids" is changing societal norms that now expect even older kids to be chaperoned by an adult any time they are in public, and to be chauffeured by a parent as their only means of transportation
Older generations spent a lot less time parenting. Millennial dads spend nearly as much time parenting as Boomer moms did. Millennial and Gen X moms way more.

Just to be clear, vote for whomever you want.

But if you aren’t going to participate in primaries then stop moaning.
