All I ask is that I be allowed to hate these people as much as they hate me.
it's sort of funny that white is now an epithet on the right if paired with woman and liberal

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.

This could be you.

The role of a free press in a democratic society is not to effusively gush about the ‘love of country’ but to hold the government accountable and provide a check on all 3 branches. Murrow did not claim to love the state - he challenged power.

Naming US government property after a sitting President is anti-democratic and naming it *after yourself* is pathetic. Trump's name should be stripped from the Kennedy Center when he's out of office.

i was especially struck by these paragraphs, which rang very true to me. libs who grew up around conservatives aren't embarrassed to be liberals--or confused about what conservatives want. there's a certain kind of elite media man, on the other hand--

Wow: Harris County Democratic officials voted Sunday 186 to 80 to bar Houston Mayor John Whitmire from seeking the party's endorsement over his handling of ICE and appearing at a fundraiser for Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-Tx)

Brian Lanza (a member of Trump’s team), who once advised Ukrainians to surrender, is now serving as an adviser to sanctioned Russian oil company Lukoil.

But of course it's just a coincidence. No questions whatsoever about his motivation.

It's remarkable how perfectly this awful story is similar to The Dreyfuss Affair, from the banishment to a cruel tropical prison to the world's worst and stupidest people refusing to let it go even for decades after he was freed.
This is just some ordinary dude no one had ever heard of, quietly getting by, and the administration has decided in a fit of pique to hound him for the rest of his life because otherwise they'd have to tacitly admit they're capricious incompetent villains. Just let him live, ffs
BREAKING: At 7am ET, in response to the emergency overnight filing, Judge Xinis issued a TRO barring the Trump administration from re-detaining Abrego Garcia.

This man probably lacks the legal capacity to enter into contracts, and asking him to sign things constitutes elder abuse.
POLITICO: You pardoned the former president of Honduras even though he was convicted in a massive intl drug trafficking scheme. How is that 0 tolerance on drug trafficking?

America is blowing up its near century-old position as strategic hegemon in the western hemisphere because Trump has a personal affinity with Eastern European autocrats, Stephen Miller hates immigrants, and Elon Musk thinks being asked to follow local laws is unacceptable.

Reactionaries are such suckers for this shit. Trump is King Herod, full stop. He makes a pretense of religosity for the sake of legitimacy. But he does not give a single shit about anything but his own power. If American Christianity was a threat to him, he would murder every boy under the age of 3.
