All of these violent, lawless ICE officers terrorizing communities and hiding their faces weren't just hired this year.
It's why dismantling ICE as an agency was so important and remains so. These people are unfit to be public servants if they hate the public.

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.
Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

If you need to do this much throat clearing before you can manage to say "Kidnapping people for political speech is very bad, actually" then it's time to step back, have a lozenge, and cede leadership to someone more suited to the moment.

When a single billionaire can accumulate more money in 10 seconds than their employees make in one year, while workers struggle to meet the basic cost of rent and medicine, then yes, every billionaire really is a policy failure.

Just be prepared. We've all seen that headline going around today that Bluesky is the current #1 app, and X dropped out of the top 25.
That means the absolute worst people in the world are going to be coming here trying to turn THIS place into just as much of a shithole. Block them. Don't engage.

Correct. These are fundamentally scams. Perhaps a small number of supporters mistakenly believe the mission is genuine; that's irrelevant, because the mission itself is fraudulent and all the people in charge are scam artists. There's no scenario in which these scams are molded into genuine reforms.
DOGE is not going to give you a chance to reduce American militarism. RFK is not going to give you a chance to take on big pharma. If you try and engage on their terms you will become more like them and you will have no effect on what they do.

bad case of being lawyer-brained, I’m afraid. The clear meaning of the 22nd is to put a 2 term limit on the presidency, in accordance with the norm established by Washington. This alternative reading is lawless and if it happens, we might as well say the Constitution is no longer in effect.

Meanwhile the Atlantic published a whole thing about "decivilization" today: “The line between a normal, functioning society and catastrophic decivilization can be crossed with a single act of mayhem.” (they mean, of course, the CEO, not the genocide)
96% of children in Gaza feel that their death is imminent and almost half want to die as a result of trauma. 92% of the children in the survey were “not accepting of reality”, 79% suffer from nightmares and 73% exhibit symptoms of aggression.

the pardon power is good because laws are flawed tools executed by flawed people, and because prisons are specific man-made hells we ought to exempt as many people from as possible. But what's revealing about pardons is who the powerful will pardo and who they will just let rot forever.
