My theory is that we're here specifically because of this. That we have not lived through dictatorship and have no living memory of war within our territory, so we take our liberties for granted, and wrongly believe we'll get to keep them even if we vote criminals into office.

Why LeBron James Ignores Genocide and Stands With Israel
The basketball great once said he wanted to be like Muhammad Ali. He canβt do that and shrug off Israeli war crimes.
I wrote about LeBron James' Israel comments. The article starts with me quoting an article I wrote 22 yrs ago about the aspirations of a 19 year old LeBron and then I look at how the 41 year old James ended up compared to his hero Muhammad Ali. Also, I feel old AF. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

For all the discussion of doxxing federal agents, thereβs essentially no discussion of how those agents are taking steps that attach severe punitive measures that stretch across wide swaths of the federal bureaucracy against people acting lawfully.

1. Yes, Trump launching a new military operation overseas without Congressβ prior declaration of war or authorization of force is almost certainly unlawful.
2. No, there is no real chance the courts will stop it.

The chief counsel to Chuck Grassley, a racist scumbag named (tragically) Mike Davis thinks that yes, if people don't get off of their "fat ghetto asses" absolutely they should starve to death. Naked racism at the heights of power. We're a long way from the days when Trent Lott got run out of town.

Laws are not self-executing. Is this an obvious Hatch Act violation? Of course. But without good men and women in government faithfully executing the laws, it doesn't matter.

If any other president in all of history said the military should use American cities as a training ground he would be removed from office that same day. The hardest thing to tolerate in all this is how relatively silent elected democrats are. Itβs ridiculous.

KEY to the story about ABC suspending Kimmel's show: Nexstar and Sinclair, two big owners of ABC-affiliated stations, both need FCC approval for pending deals. With a lot of $$ on the line, both have reason to curry favor with the Trump admin. Both decided to yank Kimmel's show.

I've long since abandoned any real hope of billionaires seriously funding a real progressive media outlet or platform but the other way you could launch such a thing is with some charismatic talent with pre-existing audience and (presumably) the financial independence to take risks. Just fwiw.
