My heart.

Thom Tillis … who is not running for reelection. And don’t think that is immaterial when it comes to periodically showing flashes of a spine.

White people don’t ever seem to get the constant peril we’re under just by existing anywhere as Black. Wherever we go, we can’t even escape on the internet. We can be gunned down with no cause by the state at any time & there will be no tears for us. Trauma & brutality at every turn. We live this.

I hope they surround it with inspirational quotes from college dropout Charlie Kirk like "college is a scam," or maybe the time he told a 14-year-old girl she should only go to college to find a husband to take care of her, or something detailing the harassment campaigns he led against professors?

What the National Park Service Has Flagged Thus Far. It's Much Worse Than I Thought. Note: This is a long post.

I spent hours looking through hundreds of files of materials that have been flagged for review by National Park Service sites around the country. Here is just a small sample of what I found. #NationalParks 🗃️ open.substack.com/pub/kevinmle...

The resemblance is still uncanny.

They are literally running with “we have always been at war with Eurasia.” Unreal.

Yep, it’s me again, a political scientist who studies war. This is a war.

Thanks for coming to my Ted talk

If you know Mark Warner, you know this is a pretty serious statement. He is EXTREMELY level-headed and doesn’t make hyperbolic statements. He is from a state with a bunch of military contractors too. If he is mad about this, then imagine how mad everyone else is.

“The Intern in Charge”: Meet the 22-Year-Old Trump’s Team Picked to Lead Terrorism Prevention One year out of college and with no apparent national security expertise, Thomas Fugate is the Department of Homeland Security official tasked with overseeing the government’s main hub for combating v...

The Republicans seem to be prepping an argument that any domestic terror attacks in the aftermath of their Iran attacks will be the fault of Democrats for shutting down DHS funding, so I'd like to remind everyone of this appointment:

I'll take any excuse to remind you that De La put out a new album this winter and it is phenomenal.

The last point is critical. The media LOVES war, like you love your kids, your spouse, your parents, but more.

So many of them have dreamed of being war correspondents sending dispatches from the front line. It genuinely confuses them and hurts their feelings when people think it's not a good idea.

Kash Patel’s latest firings ousted agents with expertise in Iran The FBI director gutted a specialized, global espionage unit of counterintelligence agents, just days before Operation Epic Fury.

When FBI Director Kash Patel fired a dozen FBI agents and staff last week for their role in the classified documents investigation of Donald Trump, he targeted an elite counter espionage unit that investigates threats from foreign adversaries and specializes in Iran www.ms.now/news/kash-pa...

'UNIMAGINABLE CRUELTY': Judge Gary Brown, a Trump appointeee from NY, thrashes DHS' treatment of a man who came to the US at 9 as an abuse/neglect victim, has no criminal record and became a college grad.

Every day they dismantle more of our guardrails and knock down speed limit signs and cut everyone’s brake lines — and eventually there is going to be a massive pileup on this metaphorical highway equivalent to *or worse than* the 2020 pandemic.

Hirono walks Noem through just a few of the many lies she's been caught in

Noem asked to retract comments calling Renee Good and Alex Pretti domestic terrorists Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., pushed Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to retract her previous statements labeling Renee Good and Alex Pretti as domestic terrorists. Noem said she was ...

Americans watched as federal agents killed two Minnesotans.

Now their families have to watch Kristi Noem continue to lie about it.

They’re blue pilled to the point of ineffectiveness. They’ll vote blue out of spite and blind loyalty at this point

Ruben Torres begged ICE agents to let him go home to his dying daughter. They said no. They deported him. Senator Durbin — who attended Ofelia's memorial — asked Noem today: was he a violent criminal? She had no answer. A little girl died. Noem couldn't even say her name.

Secretary Noem may not know it, but DACA recipients are being wrongfully deported.

Under the law, they are supposed to be protected from deportation.

noem doing the mariah meme, but for an airplane

Sen. DURBIN: Your agency arrested 261 DACA holders last year—and deported 86 of them. Why have you deported dozens of DACA holders?

Noem: We follow all laws.

Durbin: Why did you deport them?

Noem: I don’t know the details.

Meet the people you abused, Noem.

Sen Klobuchar asked Noem about a US citizen whose door was smashed in by DHS. He tried to show ID. They busted in anyway. No judicial warrant. No answers. Just “can’t speak to the specifics.”

650 agents in Minnesota and zero accountability. This is intimidation. Keep calling out her lies.

KLOBUCHAR: Are you aware agents bashed in the door of a citizen?

NOEM: I can't speak to specifics

K: Do you believe he was involved in fraud? Are you aware he's son of a beloved nurse that treated our soldiers in Vietnam? Did they have a judicial warrant? Are you aware he tried to show his ID?

Sen. KLOBUCHAR: Anything you want to say to Alex Pretti’s parents?

Noem: *dodges*

Klobuchar: I asked if you have anything to say to the parents, after you called their son a domestic terrorist without evidence.

Noem, lying: I didn’t.

Klobuchar: They saw it for what it was.

Bullshit.

BLUMENTHAL: Have you met with any of the American citizens who have been detained or arrested by your agents?

NOEM: They could've been instructing law enforcemen--

BLUMENTHAL: You haven't met with them. I'd like to introduce you to 3 of them. Will you please stand?
