“Kindness is none of those things, and so kindness is never confused with weakness. The only source of that idea is bad writing. (‘Don’t mistake my tolerance for weakness’ would be good writing.)

Kindness is a warrior. It inspires. It conveys strength. That is not an opinion—that is the data.”

The Trump DOJ has issued a memo back in February declaring that their number one top priority is immigration enforcement, above everything else. Fentanyl trafficking and other drug offenses are no longer listed as a priority for the DOJ. Neither is terrorism.

Feeling safer yet?

BREAKING: In a stunning moment of defiance, Maine's Governor Janet Mills stands up to Trump, saying she is complying with state and federal (anti-discrimination) law, and will see him in court over his threat to withhold federal funds.

This is incredible.

Three updates:
1. The Justice Department has deleted a database tracking federal police misconduct. The database was first proposed in 2020 following the police killing of George Floyd.

I tend to have pretty good timing. For example, I started getting therapy like four weeks ago.

CNN head honcho Mark Thompson called up Jim Acosta -- who occasionally gets better ratings than the network's nightly hosts -- and asked him to move over to the midnight to 2 AM shift, which is the graveyard for cable.

We won’t get this right this time either but the trick is to just bounce the second it starts to go sour. Zero “we can make our corner nice” thinking. Always someplace new to post
bsky is in the same position as tumblr - we know precisely what sort of assholes run it, but they're so absentee the inmates have the run of the place for now

this is absolutely not sustainable, but it sure is fun before the iceberg hits
