This is correct. You will find no explanation for Trump's actions in economics or political science. You need to go deep into woke academic critical theory, and there it suddenly makes sense why white male nepobabies hate communal prosperity because it undermines their dream of personal superiority.

I was a British tourist trying to leave America. Then I was detained, shackled and sent to an immigration detention centre Graphic artist Rebecca Burke was on the trip of a lifetime. But as she tried to leave the US she was stopped, interrogated and branded an illegal alien by ICE. Now back home, she tells others thinking...

- 32,809 have been arrested by Ice during Trump 2.
- German tourist Jessica BrΓΆsche spent more than a month in detention, including eight days in solitary confinement, suffering one of the worst human rights violations
- Rebecca Burke (UK) was trying to leave but was detained for 19 (!) days

exactly. it's a first step, and likely signifies a shift in tactical approach to what we've wanted.

objecting to unanimous consent does nothing overall, it will not stop the nomination. taking up floor time with a filibuster is an infinitely more effective stall tactic

i mean dems just won a crucial wisconsin race, the booker speech will energize the base...the CR surrender was pathetic but tonight is a huge night for dems. things are moving in the right direction. not sure how any of today's events play into this "dems are failures" narrative

It's a minor point amidst the serial violations of due process occurring here, but one of Trump's conditions to Columbia University for retaining funding was to ban masks. But the people sweeping up students are masked armed security officials.

It seems like when you write a decision giving the President king-like powers, you shouldn't be indignant when he acts like a king.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to β€œthe left” and therefore ignorable.

Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.

Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

Senate Dems Show Spine, And National Sports Ban Bill Dies The failed legislation reflects a wider effort to disallow trans women (or anyone suspected of being a trans woman) from women’s sports and spaces.

1. Today, Senate Democrats showed spine, and killed a national transgender sports ban bill via filibuster.

Not a SINGLE Democrat voted for cloture.

S. Baum writes about what happened today, including some of the speeches.

I can't stop laughing at this man I'm sorry. This is the kind of shit the biggest loser in the world would say to their girlfriend about buying her flowers on Valentine's Day once, and he's doing so in an argument that started because he called her a bitch

Every mainstream attempt to grapple with the rise of Tate and other misogynist ideologues have posed them as a product of men’s despair. Few have posited them as an assault on women’s safety and dignity.

EPA head Lee Zeldin wants to steal $20B of green It's even dumber than you think, and yet Trump's DOJ is playing along.

We need nickname for all these idiotic Trump scandals. Like there's no time to rattle off "that time Lee Zeldin tried to steal $20B in green energy appropriations based on a Project Veritas video."

Greenbankgate?
Goldbarsola?
Zelscam?
