KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.
With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.
You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.

Seems like the only respite I have nowadays is my husband’s smile and writing. So I revel in both. Today, I made him laugh with an old joke. And I wrote a sex scene that is both horny *and* funny. Now on to tomorrow. #writing

If they wanted to burn the books, they'd at least have to go manually and start torching the place.

Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.

I’ve been saying this since Reagan. Doesn’t make me feel any better.
if, ten years ago, your entire understanding of politics was that the right wing wanted to destroy everything because they were evil, you had a more accurate and more predictive analysis than functionally the entire American media and political apparatus

This is the depressing. To discover that so much of the country I love is a crumbling shell hollowed out by cowards and con artists.
American civil society is full of abject cowards, that is the issue. The government is a mafia state but it is winning because most American elite institutions are devoid of anything resembling integrity and are folding rather than stand on principles that were little more than marketing.

Is any Democratic senator circulating a petition to get signatures of ten Dem senators (20% of the conference) to force a meeting of the conference? Will anyone step forward to challenge Schumer, and can some number of senators insist at such a meeting on a vote on whether to replace the leader?

The problem with pieces like this, which are countless, is the prevailing media assumption that left-of-center Americans need constant corrective instruction about how to be in and engage with the world, whereas right-of-center Americans are simply to be observed in awe, like rainbows or mountains.
Opinion - The problem with Bluesky: It won’t broaden our horizons: In the wake of Donald Trump’s election win, the social-media platform has enjoyed a surge of new users looking for an alternative to Elon Musk’s X. But will it be useful, if it just creates an echo chamber for the left?

There are two people in Congress-the chairs of the Senate & House Appropriations Committees-who have enormous power over the illegal impoundment of funds appropriated by Congress, which is sowing chaos across the US.

Pedocon. Every time. The Republican platform is simple: they want to sexually abuse children. And they want to make you pay for it.
let me put this plainly: if NCMEC is shut down, then Donald Trump has effectively legalized child pornography
Just because I’m no longer on their board doesn’t mean I don’t still have friends there. I am told that the Trump DOJ has advised NCMEC that if they don’t scrub their website for any public-facing references to TQIA+ kids this week, they are at risk of losing their funding.
