🚨 Again, for those in the back. If the Senate bill passes a bill that includes the insidious provisions buried in the House GOP’s BB Bill, there will be no going back. The American Experiment will be over.

Who wants to be the one to tell Pee-Wee German that the "boys at Normandy" weren't all white, non-immigrants, or American citizens, but they *were* all fighting people like Stephen Miller--people called fascists.

If it was, let’s say 2009 & I was residing in the desert, I’d find it hard to not add this to my list of things to do?

But now, tho I’ve become a local, I’d feel like an asshole, devoting even ironic effort & attention & community organizing & resources to remedying this improbable design?

Raskin: If they can just sweep someone off the street, put them on an airplane, and send them to a torturer’s prison in an authoritarian state like El Salvador without due process… then they could do it to anybody.

This new White House executive order says that the US Attorney General is going to prevent states from implementing democratically passed laws regarding climate change and clean energy. It scarcely needs stating at this point that this is wildly, unambiguously unconstitutional. Dictator shit.

"Like what happened in Germany"!?

Trump knows nothing and has read nothing. But I wonder if, growing up, he heard at home stories that I gather were current at the time in pro-German, Holocaust-minimizing circles, of alleged instances of humane treatment of the Jews in the camps?
Trump: "I said to [the former hostages], was there any sign of love? Did Hamas show any signs of, like, help or liking you? Did they give you a piece of bread extra? Did they give you a meal on the side? Like what happened in Germany."

Remember the pandemic that Trump mismanaged? Kids in rural areas sat in fast food parking lots to get WiFi to attend school.

Dems passed & Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act for reliable Internet access for everyone. On day one, Trump reversed it.
