How does this reconcile with his Board of Peace, unless, of course, he is already BORED Of Peace ...

Our assignment is to embarrass fascist hack and Trump-panderer Bari Weiss by making sure this segment, which she banned from airing, gets more views on YouTube than it would have gotten on CBS. #StreisandEffect

Remember friends, this is the woman who killed her puppy. We shouldn't be surprised.

Hmmm, would that be the boss who most likely received a much bigger bonus than you did?

RIP Michael Silverblatt, a consummate literary critic, interviewer, and observer. What a joy to listen to Bookworm every week!

Best story I have read today. As a choral singer, I know the incredible energy we send out when we sing and create harmony together.

YouTube video by The Late Show with Stephen Colbert Rep. James Talarico On Confronting Christian Nationalism, And Strange Days In The Texas Legislature

Trump’s propaganda czar Brendan Carr and Trump-controlled CBS refused to let Colbert air his interview with James Talarico. You can watch the interview here, and it already has 1.4M views. youtu.be/oiTJ7Pz_59A?...

One order issued equals double the cruelty in this case.

Maybe better to take care of your own legacy, Tom. We all know how Trump disposes of his supporters when they're no longer of any use to him.

This small school district kept losing students to ICE. So it mobilized. Outside of Minneapolis, the five schools in Columbia Heights have taken an aggressive approach to protecting the immigrant families of their students.

β€œI woke up the next morning and I just thought: Justice for 5-year-olds and every other child.” β€” Schools Superintendent Zena Stenvik, describing her reaction to the ICE abduction of Liam Conejo Ramos.

I don't care how embarrassing it is for them. I am disgusted with their stupidity.

For those keeping score, she also used the term "washed up lawyer." Washed up is as washed up does.

Yes, that's what we should be talking about, you genius, something totally unrelated to the purpose of this gathering.

Not that anyone in ICE or DHS cares, but these injuries to children run deep and these kids will carry their scars for the rest of their lives.

My concern is that Trump expects our silence, not that he merely wants it, that he expects fealty from Americans.

Oh, I think I can help here - the third branch is the sycophants that support the other two branches. You're welcome!
