if we staff ICE with Uvalde police officers, they'll never enter schools

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

Workplace raids have begunβ€”none of these people were rapists or criminals.

Even if you’re not a US citizen, you still have due process in this country. 3 workers in Newark were taken into custody by ICE w/out a warrant. One, a veteran, endured the humiliation of having his military docs questioned.

Well, at least Pete Hegseth is cured of his alcoholism.

Supreme Court to weigh whether states can allow religious public schools The Supreme Court agreed Friday to consider whether the state of Oklahoma may fund a proposed religious charter school, the first of its kind in the country

The answer will be Yes. They are a Christian nationalist Supreme Court.

very excited to see what happens when you make a deeply compromised addict the leader of the department of defense and subordinate to a madman

I swear, it feels like the only ones fighting for us are @aoc.bsky.social and @repjasmine.bsky.social

I don't know about you, but that would be a hell of a ticket for 2028.

Pete Hegseth is the most unqualified nominee for Secretary of Defense in modern history.

He should be rejected by the Senate.

VelΓ‘zquez: Donald Trump did not care a bit about safer communities when he released those who were convicted of beating the shit out of police officers. So, don’t come to us and talk about security and safer communities when you do that

Costco successfully defends its diversity policies as other US companies scale theirs back Costco has claimed victory in pushing back on a shareholder proposal that urges the wholesale club operator to conduct an evaluation of any business risks posed by its diversity, equity and inclusion ...

Costco shareholders have overwhelmingly rejected an anti-DEI proposal as other U.S. companies retreat from their diversity policies

The folks obsessively posting about egg prices for the past few years have gone strangely quiet just as egg prices hit an all-time high.

AOC: I don’t care what Elon Musk is doing behind the presidential seal, but in this country we hate Nazis. Kind of like a foundational defining thing. Two of the foundational things about American history is that we beat the confederates and we beat the Nazis.

to be clear, Trump's position is that violence against cops is unacceptable, but pardoning people convicted of violence against cops is the right thing to do because hey look over there!

it’s becoming increasingly clear the goal of the far right is to defund and buy up every source of reliable information until there is no more objective reality to counter them

Flying home from Hong Kong, I decided to rewatch "Captain America: The First Avenger". Two things:
1. It's a good movie. Solid story and action.
2. I couldn't imagine anyone else playing Steve Rogers. Chris Evans really nailed it.

I am really tired of people dropping into my comments saying things like "none of it will make a difference," and "what's the point."

There is a point to EVERYTHING. Another woman spoke out about Pete Hegseth abusing his wife today. Her statements and bravery matter.

Why did urbanism (and to some extent planning) became part of culture wars and attacked by the right? A series of possible explanations:
- Cities breed liberalism
- Urbanists use climate action arguments
- Cities are more welcoming to diversity than other places
- Urbanists can be seen as elitist

SHARE WIDELY.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.

With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.

You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.
