NEW: Trump’s DHS appointees have:
• Dismantled civil rights guardrails,
• Protected agents’ anonymity and encouraged them to wear masks,
• Threatened groups that stood in their way, and overwhelmed legal challenges to their arrests & tactics.

If y'all are shocked by the racism of the Young Republicans, I got some bad news for your ass about the older ones.

A tweet from Roy Drones Jr reads: “Remember when the right wing got upset about a vaccine card.” Below it, a retweeted post from Majority Report says: “ICE tickets Chicago man with legal residency $130 for not having his papers on him: ‘It’s not fair… I’m a resident.’” The image shows a man outdoors holding up a yellow citation ticket toward the camera, his face partially obscured. He appears to be wearing a dark jacket and sunglasses, with buildings and a bright blue sky in the background.

We are becoming a “papers, please” country, and no one should want that.

Cleveland #Browns rookie defensive tackle Mason Graham is dealing with his share of growing pains six games into his NFL career, but the 22-year-old is still a key cog in the middle of the defense and is displaying resiliency at a difficult position.

The founders assumed a guy like Trump would come along. They never assumed a congress would so willingly give up their power

Donald Trump's Dangerous 'Antifa' Strategy What's really behind Trump's move to declare antifa a 'terrorist organization'

Trump recently signed an executive order declaring antifa a domestic "terrorist organization." The declaration may be absurd, but Trump's endgame is clear: to allow the government to label everyday citizens as terrorist threats in order to suppress protests and silence opposition.

I feel like you just Rick Rolled me

Thank you for some good news this week

Post from WH about Chicago "in chaos," showing scene from another state.

A terrific AFP fact check uses reverse image searches to expose how a White House video took scenes from Florida, Texas, South Carolina and Nebraska and lied that they showed "Chicago is in chaos."

Thank you for at least a little positivity 😯
Overall we a tough game

RFK Jr. keeps repeating this ridiculous, ignorant bullshit.

Trust in expertise is literally a vital feature of both science and of representative democracy.

I wrote a whole-ass thread about it last time around; maybe worth revisiting.

Press badge confiscation at the Pentagon. This should not be happening in the United States of America.

Tweet by Marlow Stern (@MarlowNYC) saying: “This is gross,” quote-tweeting Aaron Rupar. The embedded Rupar tweet reads: “Trump ignores a question from a woman reporter but says, ‘I just like to watch her talk. Good job. Thank you darling.’” Below is a photo of Donald Trump seated, speaking at a table with flags behind him, and captioned “Thank you, darling. I don’t know.”

I hate to think what boys and young men are learning from watching such behavior and how it makes girls and young women. Parents need to teach that this is not acceptable.

If only...

This is good and we should say so because every outlet that does the right thing and sees praise and support for doing so makes it easier for the next outlet to do the same.

This Is Fascism

The Executive is laying taxes without the consent of Congress.
The Executive is spending money without the consent of Congress.
Other than that, everything is totes normal.

A tweet from The Bulwark quoting Rep. Jim Himes on Face the Nation. The tweet says: “Rep. Jim Himes on Trump blowing up boats in the Caribbean: ‘The White House has not shared what they believe their legal justification is... these are illegal killings.’” The attached image shows Himes speaking in front of the Capitol building backdrop with the Face the Nation logo.

Illegal killings ordered by a criminal regime.

Someone on Twitter replies to me: "meh. buy american or stfu." Two hours later, in a separate thread, the write: "$30 for a single button-up is ridiculous unless it is decent quality silk."

This two-parter below is exactly why it's hard to make clothes in the United States.

Let's look at how much it costs to produce a button-up shirt in the US. 🧵

Thankfully, some of yesterday's CDC firings have been rescinded.

But this should be a major scandal, not business as usual in this shitshow of an administration. It's either spectacular incompetence or an effort to make even politically untouchable positions feel precarious to those in them.

Federal Judges, Warning of ‘Judicial Crisis,’ Fault Supreme Court’s Emergency Orders

Seriously, Judges *do no do things like this*

They don't give their opinion to the media

They don't criticize how SCOTUS works

This is them breaking the emergency glass, folks
