The ICE arrests are state-sponsored evil, perpetrated by our government right in front of our eyes.
It’s the trauma and cruelty with which they’re inflicted. The horrifying condition of the detention centers. The gestapo we won’t quite admit to ourselves are gestapo. 1/2

DJT & Stephen Miller are creating a society that's beginning to resemble France just before their Revolution. That didn't go well for the rich, did it?

No one has an adequate excuse to follow illegal orders. Not in 2025. Getting educated by Fox News & Newsmax is not a defense. ICE agents must back off!

The deportation of mothers and their American born children, without due process, is an act of treason. ICE - stop!

If "our" gov't is paying millions to El Salvador as reported, shouldn't there be a contract? What does it say? (Trying not to be facetious).
Now, President Trump is openly defying the Supreme Court’s ruling to release him.
This isn’t just unacceptable, it’s illegal. The Trump administration must bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia home NOW.

My friends, a three-way tie in the closing hour of the Masters is why I woke up early, got all my chores done, spent time with my kid, did everything that was required of me—and I am not moving my ass off this couch until we have a winner. Good shit.

And I suspect an increase on various kinds of subscription rates will also rise.
Even if you’re not hit directly, there’s a good chance someone in your job’s supply chain will be. And when they go down, it hits everyone under them.
Of course they will. Most sellers already operate on razor thin margins, and there’s no room to absorb the hit. They have to pass it to consumers. Every industry will, or they’ll go under. Many will anyway due to lack of sales. That’s called a recession.

Outside of rescuing illegally detained humans, this should be on full mode attack. If we get to have another election, all who desire to vote should be unhindered in that effort.
Our explainer details what’s in the president’s executive order on elections and how it would violate the Constitution and federal laws.

Then we're in Ground Hog Day (House version). With #45 - chaos. With Biden - stabilized. Now back to chaos. Higher level will remain a dream.
They say that before rising to a higher level of existence, everything needs to fall into chaos. Well, we've perfected that first part.

Yes. Word limitation didn't allow expansion of logical thought explanation by those of us not exposed to the thoughts and practices of the ultra rich. My limited experience saw a man become a millionaire from hard work and then act as a cornered animal in defense of his juicy bone.

Is Krugman naive or simply making noise? One cannot apply logic to the actions of the monied people who have long ago lost their sense of humanity. Thankfully, not all have, but for those such as Musk and Thiel who aspire to total control, beware. Awesome read and Daniel is totally on target!

Pundits sound so foolish trying to find explanation in any ultra-right-wing quotes or actions -- destruction is all that is intended. The kind that hurts, or they wouldn't bother.
Here’s a reminder that Elon Musk - world’s richest man and unelected co-president - is a fan of Alex Jones and InfoWars. The elected co-president, Trump, is as well.
The chaos we are living through makes sense when you realize the InfoWars mindset is in charge.

I wrote a screenplay back in 2003 on Americans subjugated to various kinds of camps -- dusting it off now. Back then I was afraid of Dubya. Hell, those were the good ole days.
