It would never have occurred to me to prey on NYT's hatred of promising nonwhite progressive Democrats to trick them into laundering a race scientist's hacked data into a total nothingburger of a story.

The observational equivalence between "I'm a fascist" & "I'm senile" & "I don't read & know nothing" is a serious challenge for understanding DT's motivations
From the standpoint of protecting 🇺🇸 democracy, national security, & our alliances, it's irrelevant. Congress needs to remove him immediately

Effective fascist framing is indecipherable from senility
PUTIN WAS KICKED OUT OF G8 in 2014 WHEN HE ANNEXED CRIMEA. TRUDEAU WAS ELECTED IN 2015.
THANK YOU FOR THE ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

I get upset when I hear the Civil Rights movement characterized as “nonviolent”.
It was violent.
People were injured. Killed. There *was* violence. It just wasn’t perpetrated by the resistors.

As a criminal defense attorney, the vast majority of my cases were NOT immigrants.
So let's stop pretending immigrants are the problem when there's a 34-count convicted felon sitting in the White House.
The hypocrisy is outrageous.

The last day on which a majority of the Supreme Court’s justices had been appointed by Democratic presidents was May 14, 1969.
One of the things we do in the legal academy is support our claims with facts.

I learned this week that you can put our troops' lives in danger, compromise our national security, and violate the Espionage Act. And the government will do nothing.
But if you write an editorial for your school newspaper that Trump doesn't like, you will be abducted on the street and disappeared.

I want us to study the history of resistance to slave catchers right now. I want us to study how slave catchers worked, how they were sanctioned, who paid them, and why they did what they did, right now. I want us to study the hyperlocal and networked ways slave catchers were impeded. Right now.

No matter your station in life, there is astoundingly little separating you from those men in that cage behind Kristi Noem. No charges, no attorneys, no hearings, no trial. Just conjecture and brute force could be enough to justify completely dehumanizing you, too.

Why isn’t JD Vance’s participation being talked about more as a problem? He is guilty of impropriety and recklessness and likely illegal behavior to the same degree Hegseth is. He should resign or be impeached.

Turns out it wasn't DEI or trans servicemembers who put our security at risk, it was our unqualified Secretary of Defense.
The biggest issue here is that this happened and our servicemembers could have died.
The concerns we had about Sec. Hegseth's nomination were warranted. He should resign.

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.
Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.
They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

Been thinking a lot about competence lately. Here’s an image of the Hierarchy of Competence from Wikipedia. Bottom stage on pyramid is Unconscious Incompetence but I think it’s missing a link even lower stage: Utter Stupidity (see Pete Hegseth for what that stage looks like).
