Today a local conservative and ICE agent who cried bloody murder when asked to wear a mask during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic clarified he’s actually totally fine with wearing masks as long as it’s to ruin lives, not save them: tinyurl.com/3pabcukx

For me J6 was a final, unmistakable signal: this is all out in the open. There are no more dog whistles, no more hints & suggestions. Nothing is hidden. Words are pointless -- there's nothing to uncover, nothing to point out. If you see this & continue down the same path, *it's because you want it*.

The American people electing Trump after he staged a coup attempt 5 years ago was a nail in the coffin of our democracy. You can rationalize it all you want - But inflation! But wokeness! - but ultimately it was a societal suicide attempt and probably the dumbest collective voting decision ever made

Media ethicists don't struggle to see where things went wrong. Flacks on panels. Guests allowed to lie with impunity, then invited back. Too much anonymous sourcing. Anecdotes replacing data. Fearing the government. Avoiding hard truths in favor of bothsidesism. Proft over news.

An exceptionally stupid and contingent set of circumstances made Stephen Miller the most influential ideologue in the US. There is no future for the left or liberalism that does not take as a core mission ensuring he is punished for his crimes & no one as hateful as him is ever close to power again.

I've now watched the censored 60 Minutes report on CECOT. If you watched it too—and if you have any decency at all—I'm sure you came to the same conclusion I did: winning elections won't be enough; people like Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem will need to be charged and imprisoned.

Striking a boat full of unarmed civilians is murder. The first strike was murder. The followup strike was also murder.

We're not at war. It's not a "war crime". Everyone involved, including the POTUS, SecDef, the Admiral who relayed it and the person who pressed the button needs to be on trial.

Extremely rare that I am embarrassed by my school. This is one of those times. I am irate.

I think any story about Trump's autocracy should be mostly about the people and institutions who failed to stop it. This guy isn't a political genius, everything else just happens to be rotten. 'Toddler Consolidates Power In Household' is a story about incompetent parents, not shrewd maneuvering

Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.

It is pretty galling that the Supreme Court spent four years telling Biden "you can't do that without Congress" then allowed Trump to seize a once-unthinkable amount of power from Congress within nine months and concentrate law-making authority almost entirely in the executive branch.

If you’re a democratic lawmaker who won’t do the right thing in Congress because of an outside threat, this is going to sound callous but you’re in the wrong job. This kind of stuff is your job. It’s the whole ballgame. “I’m afraid” is not a viable excuse.
