Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Remember her name: Aliya Rahman

Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself.

It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did.

ICE MUST GO‼️

You know things have gotten bad when the protest bangers start dropping

Wow! This read-along of the NYT moment-by-moment leading to the murder of Alex Pretti should shake everyone awake. He was a Good Samaritan.

Agents fired at least ten shots in roughly five seconds. DHS and Pam Bondi claim Pretti approached them armed and intent on a “massacre.”

This March 1965 Herblock cartoon about police violence against civil rights activists has added relevance today.

Two former presidents felt compelled to comment publicly

in case you're curious about how angry Minnesota is about ICE, it was -20 today

The reality is that 2024 was a fundamental test of the moral character of the nation and we failed spectacularly. We’re living with the consequences now. Maybe we improve. I hope so.

Gotta say, the Constitutional originists are awfully comfortable with shooting people who don't express their worldviews.

These are concentration camps. And these are the numbers they're comfortable sharing.

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

Quit talking about Trump. Address everything, every issue to Miller and Vought. Make Trump irrelevant, his ego will not let him be out of the spotlight and you’ll see Miller and Vought removed and the rest of the administration collapse.

💯

ICE slipping on ice

No I said don’t tread on *me*. You can get treaded on.

Walz: "I couldn't help but think, and it scares me a bit -- 'The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most important directive.' It certainly feels like that in this moment."

The American people electing Trump after he staged a coup attempt 5 years ago was a nail in the coffin of our democracy. You can rationalize it all you want - But inflation! But wokeness! - but ultimately it was a societal suicide attempt and probably the dumbest collective voting decision ever made

im genuinely curious if this resonates with voters. this naked appeal to imperialism from a shrieking, shrill man

Happy “Day of Love” to all who celebrate

We Are the Bad Guys The swaggering threat to global stability is us.

“What do we call it when a stronger person decides to rob a weaker person because he can? It is just gangsterism. We are the most dangerous gangsters in the world today. Not in the sense of being charming rogues or alluring antiheroes. We are the bad guys.”

Literally a publication for eight-year olds 40 years ago

Have any major news outlets asked Grok for its thoughts on this

Kinda nuts how we were powerless to bring back a guy we sent to El Salvador by mistake because it would violate their national sovereignty but we can invade and kidnap Venezuela’s president without any worries
