Only one single person — the hero filming — took any sort of action. Everybody else just keeps walking, pretending not to see a screaming woman being dragged away. This is so incredibly Nazi Germany.

There are alternatives. Here is how it’s done.

Straight out of RFK Jr’s recommended reading list.

Democrats in Southeast Virginia Endorse “Pro-Trump, Pro-ICE” Sheriff Immigrant rights advocates were already dismayed that no Democrat ran against their local GOP sheriff in Chesapeake. Then the local Democratic Party rallied around him.

“This guy has clearly stated what his values are, and we’re going to completely ignore that and put the Democratic enforcement on him?” says a Virginia Democrat who opposes her party’s decision to endorse a “pro-Trump, pro-ICE” sheriff.

Shameful. Local Democrats need to clean house locally and elect new officers. Curious what the state party chair and other prominent VA Dems will say about it.

Breathtaking #NYTimes media malpractice. The nationwide #NoKings demonstrations attracted 7 million people to arguably the largest protests in U.S. history. But today's Times hides 2 small photos on the front page, and buries the story on page 23. @jfallows.bsky.social @froomkin.bsky.social

The "Young" Republican Leaders who enjoy sharing racist messages.

This is the "Master Race," folks.

Humans: generally woke

Vulcans: invented woke

Klingons: anti-woke but funny about it

Romulans: anti-woke and always seething-mad about it

Ferengi: pretend to be woke (think Pepsi cop ad)

Andorians: SJWs

Borg: literally don't understand the concept of woke

Q continuum: extremely woke

Federal Workers Are Being Told to Blame Democrats for the Shutdown Workers at one agency were given unhinged, partisan language to use when setting out-of-office replies.

SCOOP: Federal workers are being told to blame democrats for the shutdown. At SBA workers got an email suggesting they set out-of-office replies blaming Democrats for the shutdown and at HUD internal systems have a pop-up blaming "the Radical Left."

Spent the last decade reading conservative blogs use the word "Orwellian" more than they used the word "the" and now they're literally just saying "War is Peace" out loud in front of everybody.

How Can We Live Together? - Boston Review Ezra Klein is wrong: shame is essential.

"Common decency stigmatizes people that do not participate in it—removes them from voluntary association. We indeed have to live with one another, but terms and conditions apply."

But aren’t you growing weary of a robust GDP that by design has done nothing but fuel wealth divide and leave 90% of the population in the dust?

Aren’t you tired of all of that productivity gained off of the backs of the working (white collar too) people being funneled into the pockets of a few?

Cowards. Cowards all. Also the blonde bitch who is getting off on beating on the unarmed lady is the poster child for what Trump, Noem, & Hegseth call a great patriot with the warrior ethos. This is fascism. We are a failed state

A Black man and a homeless man were found hanging from trees in Mississippi yesterday, for those who haven’t seen yet because it’s barely made it out of local news.

A bad President, for instance, has the power to do what? What can he not do? If he wanted to revolutionize this government, he could easily do it with this ponderous power; it would be an auxiliary power. He could cry “havoc, and let slip the dogs of war,”29 and say to the conspirators: “I am with you. If you succeed, all is well. If you fail, I will interpose the shield of my pardon, and you are safe. If your property is taken away from you by Congress, I will pardon and restore your property. Go on and revolutionize the government; I will stand by you.” The bad man will say or might say this. I am not sure but we have got a man now who comes very near saying it. Let us have done with this pardoning power. We have had enough of this. Pardoning! How inexpressibly base have been the uses made by this power—this beneficent power. It has been that with which a treacherous President has trafficked. He has made it the means of securing adherents to himself instead of securing allegiance to the government.

very fun to read frederick douglass accurately describe the problem with the pardon power in 1867

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

This is where we are headed.
