The House makes me vomit. How do we survive these next few years?
Today, for the first time in a couple of months, I have no physical pain. Brain pain though shows no sign of letting up unless we suddenly see a sea change in Congress. I believe I can get back to work now. See ya later, bye!

Alien Enemies Act 2.0 begins now. SCOTUS ended Boasberg’s TRO, but ACLU has filed again using their new guidelines. This time in New York with new plaintiffs, but on behalf of all Venezuelans Trump intends to deport to CECOT nationwide.
Good morning from New York.

So tusk is signing an EO saying that English is the National Language. He’s too effing stupid to learn English, let alone any other language. I’m going to speak Russian, French, Spanish, Arabic, and German in public from now on.

You should read this even though it’s on Substack. This is really fucking important information (those of us who are terminally online saw this coming for a while, and it’s just now starting to seep into the collective consciousness)
I was recently leaked a document that was written by and for think tank and DNC affiliated policy wonks and circulated in private chats. It describes in unsparing terms the threat Curtis Yarvin, Neoreactionary tech founders, and Elon Musk pose to democracy.

From my recent experience, the police took me to the local city jail (credit to HBPD, they were polite and professional the entire time), where they searched me and put me in a cell. Then I had to wait while they figured out what I was getting charged with (disrupting an assembly)
Many likely don't protest due to fear of being arrested because they don't know what happens during and after the arrest. Can you share or point people to resources on what happens when you're arrested and the process after? It may help people come to terms with it.

I can’t remember where I read this, but it’s important:
Why is it that when people think about traveling to the past, they worry about doing something small that will drastically change the present, but no one in the present thinks that doing something small today can drastically change the future?
