Sadly, yes.

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

christ almighty

A very old Soviet joke, from an especially dark time:

Foxes are fleeing the USSR in droves.
Q: Why are you running away?
Fox: The Soviets passed a new law that they’re going to arrest all camels.
Q: But you’re foxes!
Fox: Yeah, why don’t *you* try proving to the NKVD that you’re not a camel.

We knew right from the start this “Administration” would at best be incompetent, corrupt, heartless, dumb, dishonest and dangerous but what we have here is a next level of uncharted territory of incompetent, corrupt, heartless, dumb, dishonest and dangerous.
It is painfully exhausting.

We have been warning about this for years and now DeSantis is admitting that the worker shortages they worsened with anti-immigrant laws need to be alleviated by putting teenagers to work through the gutting of child labor protection standards. Just wow.

I always feared that someday I’d find myself arguing with AI about whether Buffy the Vampire Slayer ever said the line, “My hat has a cow.” At least I won the argument! Although it’s possible there are no real winners in this scenario:

We will not blindly follow illegal orders because Donald Trump wrote them down on a piece of paper.

Illinois follows the laws of the land – not the decrees of an aspiring king hell bent on disenfranchising millions of voters who deserve to have their voice heard.

yea no i'm sorry but i'm not gonna be over the signal leak for a while this is actually so fucking insane. like that it happened, the contents of the message, the implication that they're making regular use of signal, like. it's such a clown show

This was what Judge Millett was getting at today in the D.C. Circuit oral argument. If the government doesn't have to give you notice or a hearing before removing you from the country, what's to stop them from removing you - literally you, the person reading this - from the country tomorrow?

This is what happens when you replace qualified individuals with DUI white supremacy hires.

We’re in deep trouble here….

Maybe, just maybe, a long history of violence against women is an indication that you won’t be a very good cabinet secretary.

Partisan Ideology and the Judiciary With all the talk of "Radical Left Lunatics" and "Crooked Judges" in the federal judiciary, all of whom "should be IMPEACHED!!!," , it's worth taking a

"Judges across ideological lines are ruling against Trump at strikingly similar rates (84% liberal, 86% centrist, 82% conservative).…ideology is typically a moderate to strong predictor of case outcomes, making this ideological consensus particularly noteworthy." [Adam Bonica via David Post]

I'm really starting to get "Get Out" vibes from posts like these, it's really starting to feel like these folks wanna see Black folks get hurt/killed so that they'll have something to rally around.

BREAKING: By a 5-4 vote, the Supreme Court LIFTS its hold on a lower court order compelling the Trump administration to resume nearly $2 billion in foreign aid funding. The funds MUST be disbursed. Roberts and Barrett join the liberals.

Obviously, this is huge. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

My wish for society.

Sometimes ministry looks like a black history parade in snow hill

Agree. He has an audience as well. His countrymen don’t want to see their President groveling before a Putin lackey. Their determination is grounded in their national pride. Zelensky powerfully vindicated that today. To see your President stand up to the two greatest powers in the world? Priceless.

This is a great thread but I'm just gonna quote post this and yell YES THIS a lot

I'm not going to be here and be like "every NYT story is trash" because that isn't true. My position is the good stuff they do doesn't outweight the harm.

It’s nice how they’ve replicated the middle school dynamic of the insecure bully and his sniveling sidekick picking on someone surrounded by a circle of scared little boys who also try to talk shit so the bully doesn’t come after them.

Or as the right calls it, “masculinity.”

Listen, I know every Black person's head turned when they heard that line

Thank you @POTUS for standing up for America in a way that no President has ever had the courage to do before. Thank you for putting America First. America is with you! Rep. Eric Swalwell @RepSwalwell wake Bro, did you write this? We all saw you. You tried to shrink in your chair. You looked at Trump like he was some crazy ass pops who was embarrassing you on your first date. Don't bullshit us. Grow a pair.

The way Rubio was just verbally b*tch slapped by Sewell! 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

Combating Misinformation In The Post-Truth Reality Strategies to combat the misinformation machine.

I think what happened on national TV today was nothing more or less than a trap laid for a key European ally by the Kremlin and the Trump administration.

To the extent what we saw felt not only horrifying but borderline traumatizing, I think it is because we saw our country betrayed in real time.

On behalf of many Americans, don’t thank us we THANK YOU Ukraine for your work.
