The federal blitz moved to Charlotte, but the trauma and damage in Chicago are still with us—and DHS says 1,000 agents will hit our streets in March. I wrote about what this moment demands of us: care, clarity, and preparation.
What Now, Chicago? Regrouping After Midway Blitz
Let’s make this a winter of fortification, of learning, and bonding together like the winter snow that federal agents are so afraid of.

Don't forget racism. "Peril"

Everyone needs to stop with this lame duck crap.
This motherfucker has been in office for less than a year and has bulldozed this entire country. Also that paramilitary gestapo ICE force isn't going away.
This man needs to be thrown out of office and thrown in prison before he kills us all.

I have this crazy hope that one day Morning Joe will recognize that there are more Christians in the United States than evangelicals.
Occasionally, MJ does acknowledge that Catholics exist. But the rest of us?

FOR EXAMPLE: You’d think our newspaper of record, the New York Times, would find an appropriate way to mark the occasion, but the best the old Confederate-gray lady could come up with was a churlish, venomous little screed by an obscure neo-Confederate diehard named Shawn McCreesh.

Part of the reason everyone's mad about Olivia Nuzzi is that she was a huge asshole to everyone on her way up, and now she wants everyone she mocked and belittled to feel sorry for her because she's being treated the way her clique of Big Journo mean girls treated people who work for living.

For the record, literally the last thing I am worried about is that the populace starts being overly suspicious and skeptical of members of congress.
Despite literally everything that has happened, it is very obvious that people are not nearly skeptical enough of what power is up to.

JFC Jewish media the angle isn't "let's talk adorably about the yiddish word mentioned in these emails about CHILD GRAPE"
but perhaps
"Let's talk about how there are major donors in this email database who sure seem complicit in the GRAPE OF CHILDREN & the community keeps covering up for them???"
