The reports coming out of Minnesota of the brutality of ICE terror are harrowing. What's clear to me, however, is that the people are rising up to resist this violence head on. Resistance is everywhere. We may be on our own, but we are not alone.

"Every time a whistle blows, they don’t win."
Blessed are the whistle blowers
Resistance to the ongoing brutality is everywhere. One need only step outside to find it.

DEFEATED! Democrats joined by 6 Republicans just took down this anti-worker bill, the final vote was unchanged from below.

Mike Johnson spent nearly an hour trying to flip Republican holdouts but ultimately gave up, his first floor defeat of the year and likely not the last.
Some House floor drama as Republicans are currently losing a vote on a bill to let employers to exclude workforce education and development training from minimum wage and overtime calculations. Labor-friendly R's (there are a few, sometimes) voting no, Johnson huddling with them for ~30 mins now

According to some, including many right-wing CPC supporters, this is all to do about nothing and that we’re suffering from “Trump Derangement Syndrome”.

Decide for yourself.
ROGERS: Do you see any checks on your power on the world stage?

TRUMP: Yeah. There's one thing. My own morality. My own mind. That's the only thing that can stop me.

KANNO-YOUNGS: Not international law?

TRUMP: I don't need international law. I'm not looking to hurt people.

Trump's DOJ is going after his political enemies.

The Washington Post editorial board is suddenly concerned.

But it wasn't concerned when it endorsed Pam Bondi for AG, calling her a "qualified" and "serious" pick.

Adelita Grijalva won her election to Congress over two weeks ago, but Mike Johnson still hasn't sworn her in.

Why the delay?

Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.

Trump's mass deportations aren't just pointlessly cruel.

His own Labor Department is now warning they are "threatening the stability of domestic food production and prices" for Americans.

As soon as Roe fell I knew I'd spend the rest of my life fighting for repro justice I won't see in my lifetime. It's not great but it is what it is.
I've been thinking about that Klein and Ta-Nehisi Coates convo. Specifically, how Klein kept saying that Coate's pragmatism in positioning his work in line with those who came before him fighting for rights they knew were unlikely to come to fruition in their lifetimes was depressing /1
