Situation on 14th St and W St. NW, with federal agents -- no specific agency identified -- pulling cars over for checks. They arrested a Black woman in this car.
BIG crowd of people shouting at police.
"Fuck you!"
"What is wrong with you!"
"You don't need to terrorize people like this!"

I am congenitally resistant to conspiracy thinking, but this really does feel like a eugenic plot. There is some dark, pseudo-Darwinian thinking on the right that equates illness with moral unfitness, and prefers that the weak die, indeed demands that they be culled. Truly a death cult.

A philosopher recently told me that this exact quote was used when CEU was kicked out of Hungary. She told me this months ago, saying that what's unfolding in the US is eerily similar to the path Hungary has taken. Next, "the sciences will start blaming the humanities, causing a rift in academia"

Bill Moyers was the epitome of a truth seeker. In an era when itβs political to say facts matter, Bill cut through that & told the stories no one else was telling. Meeting him as a young organizer was one of the honors of my life. The world needs more Bill Moyers & I am grateful for the life he led.

If the Supreme Court thinks universal injunctions are unconstitutional, to wait until *now* to say that, in this of all cases, with this of all presidents, is a devastating indictment of both its impartiality and its prudence.

Yet Another Anti-Trump Statue Has Shown Up on the National Mall - Washingtonian
The White House called the last statue ugly. This new one, which shows the President dancing, is the βugliest art that we could think of," says someone who claims to be behind it.
"Seeing this mysterious statue today felt like dΓ©ja vu, as it comes just over a week after a similar anti-Trump statueβwhich seems to have the same organizersβappeared in the same spot on the National Mall."

Bondi just said DHS is helping rid us of criminals from the Sinaloa Cartel, but she failed to mention the asylum she gave to family members of the Sinaloa Cartel. She also said we're ridding the country of MS-13, but failed to mention the asylum she's giving to MS-13 leaders in the Abrego case.
