🚨URGENT—Despite the Supreme Court declaring that it would be illegal to deport people under the Alien Enemies Act without giving them a meaningful chance to seek judicial review, the Trump admin is reportedly about to send a group of Venezuelans detained in Texas to El Salvador in a matter of hours!

The Greatest DEI Disaster Ever Democratic Senators--especially the women--shed a glaring light on a sketchy, uninformed nominee who has no business lording over the Pentagon

“Is the Trump administration running a DEI program for incompetent, unqualified, and/or ethically compromised Whites?”

So funny and so true. @jenrubin.bsky.social woulda never got this thru at the Post! Right at home @contrariannews.bsky.social

Old enough to remember when Supreme Court opinions day did not automatically send me headlong into a pit of existential despair

Historian Heather Cox Richardson provides historical context to the news A plea to read what she writes this morning

Fight the Fire's Mike Sorrell has an excellent suggestion: Set aside the news for a few moments to read the historical context provided by Heather Cox Richardson this Jan. 6th. You'll find the link in his piece below.

U.S. Senator John Kennedy dropping some Kennedyisms at a press conference about the New Orleans mass casualty attack, which is being investigated as a terrorist attack. Usually these quips are reserved for Fox News appearances and congressional hearings.

Worst press conference I have ever seen

Congrats to Time’s Person of the Year!

@schumer.senate.gov WTF are you waiting for ???? Bring to the floor the Social Security Fairness Act BEFORE the Christmas recess & BEFORE Dems lose control of the Senate. Let Biden sign this into law before the end of his presidency!

And if you're willing to, you ain't no friend of mine.

Dear Democratic leaders: Just because Trump won the election doesn't mean you should be silent or look for common ground. You told us Trump was a FASCIST threat. Now you are silent. Trump is still a threat. Time to be even louder!!

Seems like a good cause.

“I’ve been told that I am brave for taking a stand, but I do not think I am brave. I am simply doing what I was raised to do: love thy neighbor as thyself. And….this experience has also afforded me a platform. And I intend to use it.”

The main reason we are slouching to dystopia

Post from Latino pollster Mike Madrid: “Doing some research for an upcoming article on the last “mass deportation” of Mexicans during the 1930’s. Over half of those deported were US citizens.”

Indeed. When they rounded up the Japanese Americans, myself and my family included, for internment during WWII out of fear over Japanese spies and saboteurs, two thirds of us were U.S. citizens.

Don’t think it won’t happen again when they come for the “undocumented.”
