The United States is committing genocide against its trans population, and SCOTUS just legalized it.

If we don't want to repeat history, we'd better be strong enough to learn from it.

The authoritarian playbook starts with pointing to a group of people who don’t look like you and blaming them for your problems.

When those issues are still there, what comes next?
“The end of the constitutional republic as we know it could be happening now.”

@govpritzker.illinois.gov studied Germany in the 30s — targeting immigrants and jews — and he’s concerned about what could lie ahead in the US.

He says we all need to “speak out” and “show up to protest.”

This is Kristi Noem admitting that Homeland Security is currently occupying Los Angeles, not to protect citizens, but for purely *political* reasons. Yes, she really is that stupid.
Kristi Noem: "We are not going away. We are staying here to liberate the city from the socialists and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country and what they have tried to insert into the city."

Sen. Alex Padilla is then forcibly removed!

The Dems really, really, *really* need to make Miller the face of the administration, the way Musk was until recently. He’s hugely unlikeable and has the potential to create major drag if he is out front and center.
"The [GOP] bill contains the resources [Miller] needs to replay Los Angeles over and over and over again. If it doesn’t pass, he’ll lose his fix, like a junky whose stash gets flushed down a toilet."

HUGE. A direct rebuke to the Trump administration's practice of shoving people onto planes: "Under these circumstances, notice roughly 24 hours before removal, devoid of information about how to exercise due process rights to contest that removal, surely does not pass muster."

After months of baseless claims about “extreme levels of fraud” within Social Security, Musk's DOGE has found only 2 likely fraudulent claims out of over 110,000—that makes it a rate of .0018%.

So DOGE found virtually no fraud and made an integral American system less efficient.

Elon Musk and his DOGE minions wrecked the Social Security Administration for no reason at all.

I’m still baffled at how America took one of the basic principles of the presidency — the occupant shouldn’t be able to benefit financially from the office — and just said, nah, that just doesn’t count for this one guy.

I’m kind of hoping India and Pakistan cool it when they realize they can’t count on the U.S, the way siblings might stop squabbling when they realize dad’s on a meth binge again.
As Gabriel Byrne says in Miller's Crossing: “I'd worry a lot less if I thought you were worrying enough.”
We must hope that the administration is worrying enough about #India and #Pakistan, and can find the competence to help deescalate the situation.

The government of the most powerful nation in human history is in the hands of people who openly align with Germany’s Neo-Nazi party.

Let’s dwell on this for a little bit. I hope we don’t have become too cynical or numb to acknowledge how outrageous this is.

The MAGA-AfD alliance of extremists is not surprising, but it remains outrageous. If democracy is to prevail, America needs to establish a robust anti-fascist consensus.
