in 2011, the president of antifa hired me to give fashion consultancy to the organization. i recommended everyone wear navy suits with tan shoes, dress sneakers, and golf polos with slim chinos. if you arrested everyone today wearing these things, you'd destroy antifa

I was told not to teach a class on the intellectual histories of Zionism and Anti-Zionism next year - not because they doubted I could teach it fairly, but because it would attract too many politicians scrutinizing the syllabus.

A society where that is a valid fear is no longer fully democratic.

It was a beautiful Sunday in Portland. Farmer’s markets, the Portland Marathon, peaceful protests, and some views of Mt. Hood. This city is vibrant, peaceful, and resilient. We do not need a federal occupation, and we sure as hell don’t want one.

Trump leaked this story because he wants to you hear it. Let’s be clear :: Trump wants you to blame a shutdown for shit he is planning to do anyhow. If dems cave and fund him, he will STILL wield executive power and slash government programs. He HAS BEEN doing that with the government open.

The clock is ticking.

If Congress doesn’t permanently extend the Affordable Care Act’s tax credits, 22 MILLION people will see a 75% spike in their health insurance premiums - and EVERYONE’S costs will go up.

This is a health care crisis working families can’t afford.

The so-called “conservative” party - the one that claims to believe in limited government & hyperventilates constantly about the SOCIALISM of the radical leftist Democrats - now supports coercing government ownership stakes from private corporations & having control over their personnel decisions.
Trump calls for Lisa Monaco, deputy attorney general in the Biden administration, to be fired from Microsoft, where she was hired in June as president of global affairs.

The Trump administration's illegal leak of my records — including my Social Security Number — to Jack’s campaign isn't just about me.

It's about any veteran who's considering standing up, and the chilling effect this will have.

One fact is clear—ICE is afraid of us.

ICE boarded up their buildings, put up fences, hid behind masks, forced us to move to a new location, & pepper balled peaceful protestors. They know their only hope is to divide us in culture wars. We cannot let them. www.qasimrashid.com/p/when-prote...

Congress, not the president, controls the power of the purse.

That is not politics.

That is Article I of the Constitution.

Handing that authority to the executive today sets a dangerous precedent that undermines the checks and balances our system depends on.

1935 German generals were called to a surprise assembly in Berlin and informed that their previous oath to the Weimar constitution was void and that they would be required to swear a personal oath to the Führer. Most generals took the new oath to keep their positions.

1/ I’m Till Eckert, a ProPublica reporter. For the past 2 weeks, I’ve been going to the same NY immigration courthouse.

Nearly every time, I see ICE agents arresting immigrants. Today, a woman was slammed to the ground after begging officials not to take her husband away.

Not what should happen when your job is to enforce the law:

“The next day, she wrote him an email in which, as quoted in the New York Times, she stressed the need for ‘compliance with court orders and the Constitution.’

Shortly thereafter her work cell phone and her work computer stopped working.”
