People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!

Even if you support massive deportation operations, under no circumstances should ANYONE be ok with US citizens being forcibly removed from their homes and detained without explanation.
This is a clear violation of their constitutional rights and should universally condemned.

My current favorite bit of right-wing Christian hypocrisy is Ken Paxton, a man whose wife is divorcing him for adultery, forcing Texas schools to unconstitutionally post "Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery."

Paxton tells Texas schools to follow Ten Commandments law despite court ruling
Attorney General Ken Paxton's guidance comes days after U.S. District Judge Fred Biery sided with 16 families who sued their school districts to stop the law from going into effect.

I wonder where we would be now if people had believed Anita Hill, or Christine Blasey Ford, or so many girls and women who have been victimized by rich and powerful men.
I know this feels rhetorical, but why don’t we listen to the women?

Sometimes in this fast-moving and complex modern world, it’s hard to know what’s right and what’s wrong. But here’s a handy rule of thumb: If you are ever on one side of an issue, and Sesame Street is on the other, YOU’RE the bad guy.

My evening thought is that I suspect a great many Americans, in the period after 1989, grew very used to a world in which it didn't matter *that* much who they elected (to them).
They had the rule of law, the most prosperous economy in human history, the long peace.
But it always mattered.

Do you know who laid the foundation for the FDA?
President Theodore Roosevelt. Do you know why? Because he read a great piece of literature that exposed the mistreatment of immigrant workers and the disgusting, unsanitary practices in meatpacking plants…
The book is called “The Jungle.”
