Semi-retired lawyer -- had the “Western Civilization” education that right wingers want for all, but read the books. Very worried about how our institutions are failing us, one by one.

⚠️BREAKING: A California doctor is facing the first lawsuit under Texas’s new extreme bounty hunter abortion ban. If Texas wants this fight, we’re ready. The doctor is now our client, and we’ll be defending them in court.

Everything is bigger in Texas.

Is it time to send militarized thugs into TX to investigate and deport all of the people who look like these fraudsters? 🤨

This family has been traumatized, especially Liam who has no idea why he was kidnapped and locked up in a concentration camp in Texas. My heart is heavy for all the other innocent people ICE has locked up. When will they be released?

Billie Eilish used her acceptance speech to say: “No one is illegal on stolen land.” And CBS censored her when she said “Fuck ICE.”

Does anyone believe Todd Blanche's claim that the White House had "no oversight" over the handling of the Epstein files? No. But with their ever-more-brazen lies, they put us on notice that their version of reality is mandatory, and the truth will be executed unless we hide it in our basement.

Gonna beg media not to just repeat Trump's obviously bullshit framing in the headlines. Tell readers the truth in the headlines.
Alternatives:
"With Artists and Audience Fleeing, Trump Closes Kennedy Center Indefinitely"
"Trump Says Kennedy Center Needs Renovation, Despite Recent $250M Renovation"

It opened in an enormous number of theaters. Far more than most documentaries.

Given this, given the promotional budget, and given Trump’s hardcore base (100 million?) there is no way to claim that these are good numbers.

And watch them fall off enormously from here.

ICYMI: The US is currently holding three times as many people in immigrant detention as were detained in the Nazi concentration camp system in spring 1939 — six years into the Third Reich, and just before the start of World War II.

I went on Fox News this morning to tell conservatives what is happening to their nation. ICE is out of control - teargassing schools, murdering American citizens, and obliterating the constitutional rights Republicans claim to care about. Every citizen should want this to stop.

Ethnic Cleansing in Ohio? Nazi Lies in Vance's America

snyder.substack.com/p/ethnic-cle...

A clear and scary warning from Tim Snyder.

His hometown is next for the racist goons from DHS — all based on lies told by JD Vance and American Nazis, amplified by Trump.

Within half an hour of when Deputy AG Blanche told reporters that DOJ "complied with the statute...we did not protect President Trump," DOJ deleted multiple documents from the database with damning information about Trump. Among those deleted were first-person accounts of Trump raping kids.

Thank you for this. It sums up our current disaster very well — missing only the influence of Putin, fossil fuel interests and our own home-grown oligarchs.

Democrats demand new ICE restrictions as government shutdown looms After federal agents shot and killed Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, Senate Democrats say they’ll block a massive government funding package without policy changes.

Senate Dem's current demands re ICE are weak tea -- and even weaker when you look at the details:

" It does not include . . . prohibitions on ICE agents from shooting at moving vehicles or detaining U.S. citizens."

I hope AOC primaries Schumer. She will have my money if she does.

Here’s a sample of why wretched old pedo Trump would rather incinerate the planet than release the Epstein files.

The deadline for the release of the Epstein files was Dec 19. Since then, Trump invaded Venezuela, threatened Greenland & Denmark almost destroying Nato, oversaw the ICE assault on Minnesota which resulted in the deaths of two citizens & now he's threatening to invade Iran

Might there be a pattern?

We’re just not a free country.

Any American watching this play out between regime forces and journalists overseas would recognize it for what it is.
