Powerful words!

Stephen Miller just called the Democratic Party “the enemy.”

This isn’t just rhetoric, it’s the language that destroys our constitutional democratic republic.

Once one party is cast as illegitimate, elections become meaningless.

This is how democracies die.

Take this seriously.👇

As a result of our lawsuit against the Trump administration, we stopped the dismantling of AmeriCorps and $184 million will be restored for essential public services.
 
This is a major victory for the dedicated AmeriCorps volunteers and the people they serve every day.

I wonder why Bill Pulte didn’t send this case over to DOJ with a criminal referral along with his selective targeting of Adam Schiff and Lisa Cook? apnews.com/article/paxt...

How psychiatric patients get caught in a cycle of homelessness and spotty care Montana is investing $300 million to help those with severe mental illness from cycling through ERs, state psychiatric facilities, jails and homelessness. Advocates say they also need stable housing.

Quick point. Congress can use the spending fight in September (remember Chuck Schumer surrendered till then) to prevent a single dollar from being used to house prisoners in El Salvador.

A body of pure light flying through space. He is wearing hot socks

just put socks on right out of the dryer

it turns out that disappearing innocent immigrants into foreign slave-labor gulags — and then promising to do the same to American citizens — is a losing issue for Republicans. whooda thunk it? and please, stop feeding us this utter fucking nonsense about ‘we can’t make El Salvador do what we want.’ if Donny can get ahem alleged rapist and trafficker Andrew Tate back from Romania, he can do the same for an actual innocent man. Donny just doesn’t want to — because cruelty is the point.

Steve Kerr wore a Harvard basketball shirt after the Warriors’ win tonight: “Yes, this is me supporting Harvard. Way to go. Way to stand up to the bully.”

Gay Venezuelan stylist sent to Salvadoran prison after a disgraced cop's report Now a contractor for ICE, the officer was on a list of disgraced cops in Milwaukee. His report helped send a man to a notorious prison in El Salvador.

I’M GOING TO KEEP POSTING THIS STORY UNTIL ANDRY IS FREED: Gay Venezuelan makeup artist sent to Salvadoran prison after a disgraced cop's report

one young person told me: “I want people to know about what they did to Americorps. For many of us, this was our way to pay for college, to get away from home, to figure out what to do with our lives, it was a big step. And they just ripped it out from under us without even a 2-week’s notice.”

I am now operating on the assumption that there will be no new cures or treatments for existing diseases and ailments. All we will have for the foreseeable future is what we already got or in the pipeline. If anything new comes along, we are screwed, with no protection whatsoever.

I don’t think a better headline could have been written about what happened yesterday.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

Based on the replies l, it looks like there a lot of fed workers on @bsky.app
