That was my take as well.

It’s day 21 of the shut down and we are all feeling it.

IMPORTANT SAFETY TIP FOR NO KINGS!

We’re seeing viral posts urging people to sit down/stay silent if violence emerges.

PLEASE DO NOT DO THAT.

In certain circumstances with activists highly trained in civil disobedience this *can* be effective.

At a mass protest, it is a recipe for disaster.

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador.

Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

We can easily act to stop millions from paying astronomical prices for health insurance, but Republicans instead are shutting down the government.

Worth it.

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz after touring "Alligator Alcatraz": "These detainees are living in cages. The pictures you've seen don't do it just. They are essentially packed into cages. 34 detainees per cage...they get their drinking water & they brush their teeth where they poop, in the same unit"

We need things like this done on billboards along major N/S and E/W interstates, in shopping malls, theme parks, and other places where folks gather.

Treatment for exposure:

Having survived Helene in WNC, I understand. May your neighbors band together and help each other as ours did- before our “neighbors” from other places were able to get there. Hang tough!!!

This sentence, typed in her dissent, should scare the living fuck out of everyone in this country.

"This Supreme Court is an existential threat to the rule of law."

– Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson

If he had paid his fair share in taxes ( presumably he has not), I wouldn’t begrudge him the expensive wedding. But since he has not ( presumably), I can only think about how much those taxes would have benefited those in need.

This should be bigger story. Connect the dots…

📌 Rep Khanna asked Defense Sec Hegseth if the Pentagon would obey a federal court order. Hegseth refused to answer.

📌 DOJ whistleblower says officials told staff to ignore judges and deport people anyway.

There’s a coordinated plan to defy the courts

This is appalling.

Let this sink in.

Even the Los Angeles Police Chief, Jim McDonnell, made it clear: the people protesting immigration raids were not the ones causing violence.

During a Sunday evening press conference, McDonnell condemned the violence as “disgusting”

Can the hearings be on Zoom or something?

For years, a wonderful Dutch family took care of my great uncle’s grave in Maastricht at the American cemetery there. It was my honor to meet them when I was a child. Thank you to all those who cared for our soldiers in death. It means the world to us.

Well payed, Harvard, well played.

Harvard offers FREE American Government course.

Feels like????

Yeah… that’s kind of the point.

If we can’t help others, what is the good of being the US?
