America is beautiful, contradictory, unfinished. I am proud of our country even as we constantly strive to make it better, to protect and deepen our democracy, to fulfill its promise for each and every person who calls it home.

Happy Independence Day. No Kings in America.

Wow! France gifted her to us, and now they’ve captured what so many Americans are feeling on Independence Day. The values the Statue of Liberty stood for are no more.

Worth putting it on the record here, though you probably already know it: “Alligator Alcatraz” is a concentration camp.
Hmm, let’s see… mass detention of civilians without trial or traditional legal protections on the basis of identity (race, religion, ethnicity, political affiliation) rather than any criminal act, often for an indefinite period and done principally to expand political power. Check.

Trump calls for deporting US citizens: "We also have a lot of bad people that have been here for a long time ... many of them were born in our country. I think we ought to get them the hell out of here too, if you want to know the truth. So maybe that'll be the next job."

McGovern: Listen to this quote from Murkowski who just caved and voted for this. "My hope is that the house is going to look at this and recognize we are not there yet." 

If you really believe that, why the hell did you vote for the bill?

The administration is threatening to strip the citizenship of a man voters chose to serve as the Democratic Party’s nominee for Mayor of New York City because they don’t like his political views.

53 lies about ending the war in Ukraine and the lying liar that told them.
Fact check: It wasn’t ‘in jest.’ Here are 53 times Trump said he’d end Ukraine war within 24 hours or before taking office | CNN Politics

Bureaucratic politics explanation for ICE arrests: 1) they arrest people for whom they have data, i.e. those who comply with requests for info from the govt; 2) they go for easy arrests (people who won't fight back). So, expect more law-biding, non-threatening people to be arrested. 1/2
They are not picking up dangerous criminals, but the immigrants who were actually complying with the conditions of their presence in the US. And now, other immigrants have less and less reason to do so.
"At about 15 minutes past the hour every hour all afternoon, teams of agents, many of them masked, left the building escorting four people, each in handcuffs, into parked SUVs that then quickly zipped across the street to the garage of 26 Federal Plaza, where ICE has its local field office."

Selling off national parks to private corporations is theft — of land, ecosystems, and public trust.

Once they’re sold, they’re stripped, drilled, mined, and wrecked. And most of that damage can’t be undone.
