The military has a duty to refuse unlawful orders, but Congress has a duty to remove from office a president and secretary who would issue such orders. There is something off about members of Congress talking about the former while refusing to say the latter, the part that's actually their job here.

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

I've said it before but in parenting I sort of faintly feel like the upside down version of one of those Quiverful types right now.
I am essentially preparing my children to do moral battle in a world run by a manifestly evil elite and it is not a great feeling

It's not a sophisticated reaction, but my response to both "quiet, piggy" and the Coast Guard okaying swastikas and nooses is a deep sadness that the compassion we're working so hard to foster in our children will not just be challenged by schoolyard bullies but by the highest levels of society.

Curmudgeonly compaint to ignore: Even as I recognize its necessity, I don't like "we're going to win" rhetoric. I think it implies "norms" can be restored, that there'll come a day when this is "over"--vs. a long struggle in which there're victories but no final victory, because this isn't a movie.

it's funny how the initialism "DEI" gets deployed to obscure its own meaning, by framing it like a policy, like ACA, or an agency, like DHS. if you write "efforts to erase diversity" instead of "efforts to erase DEI," you're describing what Trump is doing much more clearly and truthfully!
when we talk about efforts to "erase DEI" can we be more precise and say "efforts to re-segregate workplaces and schools"

you definitely know a Dad (laudatory, gender neutral, may not have children) with a 3D printer who is extremely excited about making several thousand whistles for justice
“Short bursts indicate an ICE sighting. Long whistles indicate agents making arrests. If you hear the whistle and you’re undocumented, said [Whitney Hu, a community activist and organizer with South Brooklyn Mutual Aid], ‘you hide. And if you’re somebody who’s not, you go to the street.’”
As ICE Street Raids Ramp Up, New Yorkers Stock Up On Whistles
Taking a cue from Chicago, community groups have distributed thousands of whistles in recent weeks — a grassroots system people in other cities have adopted to help neighbors sound the alarm.

Corps should have to fight tooth and nail yearly to justify their charter being renewed and to prove they aren’t engaging in criminal or unethical conduct. having a corporation recognized by the state is a privilege to be earned rather than an absolute right individuals have to bypass liability
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

The ideas underlying socialism are hardly toxic. Inclusion, community, compassion, opportunity, effective governance are all fundamental, widely embraced. The term socialism itself has been cynically stigmatized. But with a little good sense, we can move past that and focus on values & results.

The thing about rationing healthcare that is unlike rationing most other things is that the people who need healthcare didn't choose to need healthcare and do not get a choice in how they can economize, or not, on healthcare

This has been such an Illuminating part of our current moment:
It’s revealed just how unwilling those with actual power are to even just ask tough questions, while highlighting how willing pajama-wearing suburbanites are to physically drive off guys armed with actual guns.

The assumption appears to be that ordinary voters will be cowed, obsequious, and unwilling to challenge autocracy, just like the billionaires, business leaders, media executives, and other leading institutions of civil society, which have decided that fighting back is “not worth the hassle.”
