You just reminded me that we got actual fascism before we got Half Life 3 alien video game fascism and now I am sad

International student at Tufts University taken into federal custody The Department of Homeland Security said the student "engaged in activities in support of Hamas."

No law enforcement officer should have license to arrest or detain people while unidentified and masked.

Everyone okay with ditching due process for "people that don't belong here" is sacrificing their own right to due process. They just don't know it yet.

All these accusations against #PresidentMusk are ridiculous. They're just trying to use the Presidential Records Act to avoid open records requests and subpoenas about DOGE activity until 2034, which is obviously how you know this is all on the up-and-up.

Musk seig heiling

Elon Musk at the inauguration. The video is equally clear.

Weird that we have to say this, but the government doesn’t get to decide what gender a person is.

Instead, we should end first-past-the-post voting systems in this country so that sane conservatives like Adam can form their own party & so can progressives, without lumping everyone under the corporate Dem banner. No more "spoilers". In with coalitions. Out with unhappy, messy, incoherent parties

I know every marketing agency wants to turn their assigned "brands into religions", but there are only a few worth the title and one of them is Star Trek

She's right, the only quibble I'd make is that we've been here. What's new is the billionaires aren't pretending otherwise anymore

I keep trying to write something eloquent and just being tired.
History matters. Philosophy matters. Languages and literature matter. Indigenous studies matter. Arts and humanities and social sciences matter. All of them.

Whatever you say, Danger Harvey

The most that can be said about the present moment is that there is disagreement within the Leopards Eating People’s Faces Party about which faces to eat in what order.

Actually it doesn't mean that ABC is caving to Trump, it means that ABC caved to Disney's money in the 90s and Disney is caving to Trump

Dems are the only party at the being held to any standards whatsoever at the federal level, and while some of them have realized this, most haven't internalized it yet

Very envious that you got into the cross-save beta before it closed

No Man's Sky is filling this niche for me. Endless variety and stuff to do - could use a little more story though

Pictures: Jeffries when Pelosi reassures him that he's in charge

One of many reasons why Trump and Elon Musk will eventually have a falling out, and it will be loud and ugly and unfailingly stupid

Well said. Hoping that the holdouts figure this out before it's too late.

yeah, I will cut moderate frontliner folks quite a lot of slack if they are at the left edge of the possible for their district

that's what I'm talking about. what we need now is not perfect ideology so much as a fighting spirit

I have some groceries for you to sign, John

Trying to remember that your dig at AOC in a trying time is still rooted in empathy

SCOTUS has no more right to pretend the 14th amendment doesn't guarantee birthright citizenship than they have to conduct judicial review per that same constitution. They gave that right to themselves. Tearing apart the 14th Amendment is a damn good reason to ignore and nullify this court

WE ARE STILL IN THIS.
Wipe your tears.
This is the difficult business of hope and defying expectation.
We do not give up.
We run through the tape.

Y’all aren’t allowed to throw in the towel until I do. 😉

Big breath. Locked in. Let’s do this.

The same constitution that says he's ineligible to be president because he staged an insurrection, right? The same constitution that clearly lays out birthright citizenship and says his proposal there is illegal too?

I'm not saying we can't stop him, but saying "he can't do that" sure won't work

sesame street isn't supposed to make money. the post office isn't supposed to make money. not everything is supposed to MAKE MONEY

York - we are the Pawnee to Lancaster's Eagleton and that just feels right to me
