A big "activist" account that:

doesn't provide practical action items
doesn't tell you to call your reps
doesn't point you to community groups to support
doesn't vocally support trans & immigrant rights
doesn't criticize elected Ds
mainly posts memes

may actually be a "de-activist" account

I know it's too easy to grow numb to the constant flood of bigotry that comes out of his mouth but it does seem morally important you don't allow yourself or anyone else to become desensitized to this vile racism as a normal part of our politics

I know the racism has been very overt for some time, but every day is a new escalation and this day in particular has been a very bad one.

Yes, he's throwing the operational commander under the bus. But that whole chain of command has some explaining to do
Hegseth: I watch that first strike live. At the Department of War, we got a lot of things to do so I did not stick around. Couple of hours later, I learned that commander had made -- which he had the complete authority to do, he made the correct decision to sink the boat and eliminated the threat.

These arguments over Judge Jeffrey Cummings’ orders governing ICE arrests around Chicago is underway in the 7th Circuit.

After a few technical question, Judge Tom Kirsch asks how many detainees remain in custody.

DOJ’s Benjamin Hayes says the number remains about 450.
The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals is set to hear arguments in a little less than an hour over the order by U.S. District Judge Jeffrey Cummings that aimed to release hundreds of people detained by ICE.

They'll be heard by Judges Thomas Kirsch II, John Lee and Doris Pryor.

Seriously, Dems should just introduce an impeachment resolution. Hold fcking hearings. Who cares if it doesn't get out of committee?

I want to see the rampant evidence he's put into the public domain shoved in his face, trial style.

This is murder and it demands a response.

Amen.
A note of caution about the new GOP vow of oversight on the murder of the two men clinging to the boat. It's good to see, but it could become a backdoor way for Rs to defuse pressure for broader scrutiny.

The entire operation is illegal. It all needs oversight. 1/

The Grand Jury has the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever...
Breaking on MS NOW: The Trump Justice Department is considering seeking another indictment of James Comey this week in the Eastern District of Virginia. It might be going before a grand jury today.

This would be in lieu of appealing the ruling from last week dismissing the case against Comey.
