In July, the Trump admin took the position that a 1996 law had, without anyone noticing for almost 30 years, made it so that most undocumented immigrants were not eligible to be released on bond.
That position has been *overwhelmingly* rejected by federal judges; 200+ of them!

Recalling when Mamdani met with Wu-Tang and was asked how he plans to help youth in Brownsville get out, and he responded "let's instead make Brownsville a place that people don't have to leave, where folks want to live."

The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.

He goes even further, branding Leo “the woke American pope” and suggesting he’s a tool of the Antichrist.

One-third of the energy now generated in Texas is from renewables like wind and solar. Without this clean energy, the grid in Texas would have failed multiple times and many people would have died. This is something Gov. Abbott and the GOP refuse to tell the public.

Definitely an overlooked point: The authoritarian far right, including its white nationalist iterations, are self-consciously global in scope and liberals need to adapt to that:
The movement to destroy liberal democracy is international, and so must be its defense
NEWS --> BBC confirms to me that they did edit a line out of historian @rutgerbregman.com's speech. It called Trump "the most openly corrupt president in US history."
BBC also confirms this was done on the advice of lawyers. So Trump's threats worked.
