Just so we’re keeping score & everyone understands where we are now: you live in a country where there are two tiers of citizenship, the government is sending people to concentration camps, the president sets the policies of elite universities, & there are security checkpoints in the capital city.
Police have set up a checkpoint and appear to be stopping every single car on 14th st NW, between W+V, here in northwest DC. Some cars are being pulled over after being stopped.

Some police are wearing “HSI police” vests (Homeland Security Investigations)

Texas is a war zone. GOP’s jamming through a mid‑decade map to grab 5 more U.S. House seats. Dems fled the state, Abbott’s threatening arrests. This isn’t politics...it’s raw power. The side that blinks first loses America’s future.

Hey, it's not the first time a tyrannical government has tried to steal every last penny from the sick & poor in order to let the rich hoard it.

But it may be the first time they shamelessly did it the day before we were supposed to celebrate our independence from that kind of tyranny.

Grrrr. Let’s all call bullshit when Republicans talk about opposing censorship.
The US Global Change Research Program's website, including all its sub-domains that host the National Climate Assessments and related reports, is now offline.

The 1990 Global Change Research Act (see below) mandates its research findings be available to all federal agencies & departments.

Anyone still quibbling that this isn't fascism?
The White House has ordered the US Dept. of Justice to prioritize denaturalization: voiding the citizenship of US citizens.

Who will it denaturalize? "Any" case that it "determines to be sufficiently important".

Point 10 leaves the criteria opaque and arbitrary.

The gap between the bloodsoaked Jihadi vampire Zohran Mamdani I am reading about from even somewhat mainstream press/politicians and the regular-ass Zohran Mamdani I met like two months ago and chopped it up about 2018-era Onion headlines could not be cleared by Evel Kneivel.

I’ve been trying to articulate to myself why I find the discourse around Mamdani so upsetting and I think beyond the fact that it is/encourages racism, xenophobia, and Islamophobia, it also makes a mockery of what I consider to be real issues, namely antisemitism and Jewish safety.

Let them eat… nothing.

“In a stunning display of misplaced priorities, Gov. Abbott used his line-item veto power to eliminate just one… item from Texas’ $338 billion state budget: a $60 million program to feed hungry Texas children during summer months,” the Texas House Democratic Caucus said.
Gov. Greg Abbott vetoes funding for federal summer lunch program
Abbott cited uncertainty over federal funding of the program as his reason for rejecting the state’s participation.

The U.S. Senate is currently considering a budget reconciliation bill that quietly includes language that could devastate our public lands. It would:
- Make over 250 million acres of public land eligible for sale
- Mandate the sale of at least 2 million acres of Forest Service and BLM land

My entire adult life, politicians have promised that new wars in the Middle East would be quick and easy. Then they sent other people’s children to fight and die endlessly. Enough.
