Henceforth, I will be describing the way that U.S. men’s hockey spectacularly squandered good will, brand recognition, and fan loyalty as β€œpulled a Target.”

Yep, by invoking a response for a potential situation that ceased to be possible in '71. (and one his own DOJ already told the SCOTUS was untenable)

Just remembering the report that Epstein was Putin's wealth manager & all the connections - and blackmail potential - makes more sense.

That’s absolutely the intent, and I would encourage people to ignore every bit of that nonsense.

I’ll crawl over broken glass to vote these idiots out of office, and I hope all of you will too.

I worry that if ICE tries to prevent people from voting, we’ll be looking at actual violence.

Trump’s New β€œPrison Camp” Threat Unleashes Fury Even in MAGA Country The next phase of ICE’s big ramp-up: a nationwide network of vast detention facilities. But guess what? Even parts of Red America are saying no.

Great work by Greg Sargent. We are, right now, deciding whether we want to be a land of giant concentration camps and ethnic cleanings.

If you live in the US and you’re white, unless you’re very lucky, you’re dealing with the awareness that a good-size chunk of your family not only would go Nazi if given the chance, but were given the chance and took it without any hesitation, and are Nazis now, so that’s what they were all along.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Perry: Abolish ICE? How about DHS altogether. "We have models for how to structure federal immigration oversight that doesn't rely on an unaccountable masked secret police force running rampant in our streets," David M. Perry writes.

Darn right.

A splendid idea!

Remembering at the time people commenting "we don't have a 'Homeland' we have a nation" plus that sense that the GOP was dying to roll back civil liberties & here was a golden opportunity to do just that.

Choose your leaders
with wisdom and forethought.
To be led by a coward
is to be controlled
by all that the coward fears.
To be led by a fool
is to be led
by the opportunists
who control the fool.
To be led by a thief
is to offer up
your most precious treasures
to be stolen.
To be led by a liar
is to ask
to be told lies.
To be led by a tyrant
is to sell yourself
and those you love
into slavery.
