Five days ago, an ICE agent shoved a woman asking questions about the detention of her husband.

Today they attacked two journalists.

We cannot accept or normalize what has now become routine violence at 26 Federal Plaza. It has no place in our city.

How do you manage through [waves hands all around] *all this*?

That's the topic of a (free!) online webinar that I'm running Tuesday from 1-2pm Eastern.

It's a pilot for the idea of monthly webinars for managers, and I would love to see you there.

My dearest Martha, I send you all my love from this war-torn ravaged place, where our hardships surpass comprehension. Yesterday, a barista gave me a whole milk latte when I specifically ordered skim. Later, a young woman with strangely colored hair glanced at me disapprovingly.

ICE just chased everyone off the public road by the Broadview facility. They yelled for people to move and immediately began firing gas into the crowd, which included legal observers, press, and medics.

“The president should be removed from office because he is plainly insane.”

I mean, there is no war in Portland. There just isn’t. You can’t & won’t avoid reporting this story. But you’ll still find a way to try to report it in a way that gives him the benefit of the doubt.

And that’s wrong.

Stephen Miran has outlined his case for massive rate cuts. The logic is utterly tortured—and bizarre.

One explanation: He’s the president’s messenger. Another: He thinks his career benefits from flattering power. A third: He’s inhaled too many White House talking points. None inspire confidence.

One thing I've learned from the Internet is that a lie needs 0% proof to be believed, but the truth requires thousands of pages of proof and still won't be believed.

Just letting you Americans know from those out side. You lot were in an authoritarian dictatorship when you didn't come out in 100's of thousand to protest that a president is above the law.
Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens.

Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.

Lemme spell it out. Trump's only leverage over Jimmy Kimmel and ABC came from FCC regulation. His direct power over H1-B visas gives him similar leverage over tech, higher ed, and others.
Critical part of the President's new $100,000 charge for H1-B visas: The Administration can also offer a $100,000 discount to any person, company, or industry that it wants. Replacing rules with arbitrary discretion.

Want visas? You know who to call and who to flatter.

The White House may call it deregulation, but in reality, it's replacing written rules with unwritten rules. (Rule 1: "Don't upset the President.") It's swapping transparent, tested rules for secret, shifting ones. One set serves the public interest, the other reflects the President's whims.
