I've just watched the video of an alarming – even disgusting – display of force to remove my friend and colleague, @padilla.senate.gov. Oversight is a critical part of our job here in Congress, and how this plays out will be essential to the next step in our democracy.

So what's next after today's May Day mobilizations?
On June 14, Trump wants tanks in the street and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday.
But real power isn't staged in DC. It rises up everywhere else. That's why we're planning a nationwide day of action to say No Kings. 🧵

Zelenskyy's character can be judge more directly by how he treats others and whether you think he's protected his country. From what I've seen, he has treated Americans with respect. His attire is to remind people he's at war, not unlike Churchill wearing a siren suit to the White House in 1942.

Les policiers qui l’ont arrêté ont découvert sur lui plusieurs fausses pièces d’identité, un passeport américain, ainsi qu’une arme à feu et un silencieux, « tous deux compatibles avec l’arme utilisée dans le meurtre », a ajouté la cheffe de la police de New York.

Don't assume maximalist outcomes for the Trump administration. That's a form of psychological surrender. We should attempt to exploit every stumble, failure, and misstep, and there will be stumbles, failures, and missteps.

this is straightforwardly an effort to try to re-segregate the officer corps
Trump and his Secretary of Defense nominee have proposed purging military officers they view as too "woke."
A Heritage funded group is proposing names: offers who served on a DEI panel, or written about race, or sought to recruit at a historically Black college.

The strategic aiming of McLuhan’s “Magic Bullet” …towards advertising revenue. The copy has become the product.
A very smart piece by Helen Lewis.👇
"We have to let go of the notion that “mainstream media” is a category reserved only for journalists guided by a professional code of ethics, a mission of public service, and an aspiration toward objectivity or at least fairness."

The answer is yes they will
I asked more than three dozen tech companies that sell, possess, or help analyze personal data whether they would help facilitate Trump's promised mass deportation operations—Only six responded, and only one said no theintercept.com/2024/12/02/l...
