Took all of one day on vacation for me to be reminded that you live your whole life on your phone, that makes for a pretty boring life.

Its a fair observation.

This entire regime could be done by lunch tomorrow if the Majority of the Republican Party wanted it gone.

Instead.... this is what they ran on. This is what they want.

So we protest and we take to the streets. We take care of our friends and family the best we can.

A mother and her three children were snatched by ICE from a dairy farm in Sackets Harbor, a rural town in northern New York.

But the location is no coincidence—Tom Homan, Trump’s border czar, LIVES THERE. He allowed his own neighbors, including a third grader, to be jailed. Deplorable.

It’s a real shame they tamped him down so much on the campaign. Probably wouldn’t have made the difference, but damn, remember the euphoria of that first weekend she picked him and they were talking like people and we were on the offensive? It felt fucking amazing and he is really good at this.

Two Republican senators told me tonight this vote shows they can execute the same strategy again — cut Democrats out of the negotiations on a gov’t funding bill, pass it thru the House, and expect Senate Dems to back down and not filibuster it.

“We liked it over here,” one said.

Right now there is clear, overwhelming opposition to Mahmoud Khalil’s abduction across the moderate, liberal, progressive & left spectrum. This kind of loud unity is what authoritarians are afraid of. To keep it up we need every institution & public leader to join the chorus.

Nobody knows how this is all going to play out. Maybe the stock market drop spooks Trump into backing off. Maybe the Fed cuts a lot and housing booms. But if you're my age and have kids/a mortgage, it's worth thinking about how you'd handle a recession, the prospect of job loss, etc.

Yes. If DHS can barge in, say your visa was revoked, be told you have a green card, say it's revoked too, and then disappear you so that neither your lawyer nor your family can find you, then all the guardrails are gone. There is no policy, practice, or law protecting anyone.
re the previous repost: if they can disappear permanent residents they can disappear citizens

The problem with trying to ride a tiger, is you eventually come to realize there is no safe way to get off the tiger
“It’s more more personal. It’s their personal safety that they’re afraid of, and they have spouses and family members saying, ‘Do not do this, it’s not worth it, it will change our lives forever. We will have to hire around-the-clock security.’ Life can be very uncomfortable for your children.”

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.

Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.

Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

A thing I wish I could teach people is that the vast majority of very rich people are deeply stupid. They did not get where they are because of ingenuity or talent. They got there because of compound interest on hereditary wealth and being tax cheats.

I was definitely in the Musk helped Trump win in a general sense camp, but the more clowning Trump endures from him, the more I’m open to considering he helped him win in some specific and illegal sense.
