While there's an argument to be made for strong, historically informed political analysis of the current shit show, I also would like to issue a reminder that driving around with your windows down blasting "FUCK DONALD TRUMP" can do some real good for your soul if the news makes you want to scream

Pritzker: "People of Illinois, we need your help. Get our your cell phones, record and narrate what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know that this is happening and that we won't stand for it."

"Harvard can't use race as a factor in admissions, but ICE can use race as a factor in detentions" is a retrenchment essentially to a pre-Civil War understanding of the Constitution. It's vanishingly few steps removed from "Latinos have no rights which the white man is bound to respect."

Wow—the Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention (named after Raphael Lemkin, a Holocaust survivor who coined the term genocide) says plainly:
"No more discussions, meetings, reports, sessions, summits…IF YOU HAVE THE POWER, YOU MUST USE IT."
"HISTORY WILL DETERMINE THE RECTITUDE OF YOUR ACTIONS."

When @npr.org was created 55 years ago, it brought news and education to places private media often leaves behind.
Now, Congress is considering a $1B cut to public broadcasting. That means fewer resources for local NPR stations and less access for rural families who rely on it most.

What will happen to PBS and NPR stations if the Senate votes to claw back funding? | CNN Business
Public media stations are on the verge of losing the federal funding that has helped keep them on the air for decades. Here’s what that would look like.

Unbelievable. Just days after the tragic flooding in Texas, NOAA is demanding that public TV stations remove equipment from towers that is critical for these stations to send weather alerts. Trump’s ideological crusade against public broadcasting will cost lives.

Won’t be long before we learn of an ICE detention center setting up in a former regional hospital
Sorry, no beds for cancer patients, we’ve got to lock up this father of three who works as a roofer.

This is what I’m so worried about
I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Today marks the third anniversary of the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
What's happened since?
A record number of women have been prosecuted. Pregnancy loss is now considered extremely suspicious, even when it has nothing to do with abortion.

Criminalizing pregnancy: A record number of women were prosecuted the year after Dobbs
They were targeted for substance use, miscarriages, and stillbirths, largely driven by fetal personhood laws.

Another large law firm capitulates. Absolutely shameful. These firms are helping Trump destroy the rule of law and democracy.
If Willkie Farr & Gallagher won't defend itself, why on earth would any client trust it to defend the client?

People are saying it's over, job done, victory lap, et cetera, but I don't think it will ever be over. I think Kendrick will perform Not Like Us at Drake's funeral. This is less a hip-hop feud and more a cautionary tale about invoking the wrath of a vengeful spirit.
