The fuck
I’m not sure I’ve ever seen something so simultaneously absurd and disturbing: the House will vote
Monday on a bill that would punish Americans for participating in boycotts of Israel with fines of up to $1 MILLION or prison terms up to TWENTY YEARS.

Being angry may feel like a luxury, or like a flash of immaturity escaping from a political pose of unsurprise. But telling our representatives to demand accountability before the law is the least we can do, and asking them to be angry too is at this point just asking them to be identifiably human.
Lock Them All Up!
It’s high time we created accountability for the Trump 2.0 criminal syndicate.

Sen. Van Hollen and his meeting with Abrego Garcia in El Salvador is all over the news and social media.

Joe Rogan is talking about the value of due process, wrongly denied to Abrego Garcia.

Thankfully the “just poll, then do what’s already popular, never try to lead or shape opinion” crowd lost.

Here. I wrote about the point of deciding to just fight and die on a hill rather than endlessly calculating the best moment to put up an opposition.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.

Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.

Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

A YES on cloture is a YES for the bill.

We had a good thing going and it could’ve gone even better had Kamala been elected, but NOOOOOOO there were too many woke people in games so we had to commit national suicide

I admit that the part of me that used to resist populism, institutional rot, and authoritarian impulses is increasingly overriden by wanting to vote for someone who would use any means necessary to accomplish left winged policy goals and to crush the right wing

Negative IQ foreign policy idea, whoever thought this up doesn’t deserve to have opinions on foreign policy going forward
That worked before because Moscow and Beijing had been at odds for more than a decade, had battled at the border, nuclear war between the two was quite possible, and because Beijing needed rescuing from domestic disaster.

None of those conditions exist today.
