So…let me see if I have this right. The federal government is gonna shut down in 30hrs, and the party that controls the ENTIRE federal government is trying to blame the party that controls NONE of the federal government for the looming shutdown?

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked β€” what would we call it?

If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers β€” what would we say?

Authoritarianism β€” let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

I think we should avoid reinforcing the co-opted and corrupted use of β€œDEI” to mean something undeserved given at the expense of the deserving.

@garrisonhayes.bsky.social over at @motherjones.com did this great clarification on DEI and "meritocracy."

On Ukraine, Europe must step into the void | Virgin

Europe can’t rely on the strength of the transatlantic relationship to help contain Russia’s threat – it must lead from the front and be the true force of support that Ukraine needs. Not just for Ukraine’s sake, but for a free and sovereign Europe.

Immigration myths are everywhere The media is flooded with outright lies and misleading statistics. Countering the falsehoods is arduous work

"The playbook is simple .. flood the zone with a mixture of lies, half-truths, misleading claims and statistics taken out of context."

Lucky for the tractor drivers they weren't objecting to the continued burning of fossil fuels leading to environmental degradation, natural disasters, weather extremes, food insecurity, economic disruption, conflict, and terrorism.

Still can't quite see how an ambulance would get through though.

A New York Times article headline reads: "Top F.B.I. Agent in New York Vows to β€˜Dig In’ After Removals at Agency". The subheading states: "James E. Dennehy, the highly respected leader of the largest and most important field office in the bureau, said in an email to staff that the F.B.I. was in a 'battle of our own.'". Below the text, there is a photo of a man standing at a podium with the seal of the Department of Justice. An American flag and another flag are in the background. The caption under the photo reads: "The top agent at the F.B.I.'s field office in New York, James Dennehy, in September. Jefferson Siegel for The New York Times."

Proud Boys Lose Control of Their Name to a Black Church They Vandalized (Gift Article) A judge awarded the trademarked name and symbols to a Washington church to help satisfy a $2.8 million judgment against the far-right group.

Judge rules that Black church in DC, which won a $2.8 million default judgment against the Proud Boys, now gains control over the trademark β€œProud Boys.” The far-right group is barred from selling any related merchandise or symbols without the consent of the church. Gift link:

I voted to reject RFK Jr.'s nomination to HHS.

I cannot in good conscience support someone who denies and will dilute our public health protections, sow distrust in science, and oversee massive cuts to health care programs for vulnerable Americans.
