ICE is THE most egregious abuse of power today.

And that's a very high bar.

"With the Military Reconstruction Act, Republicans asserted that all men...should have a say in American government...[I]t is well to remember that it could never have been accomplished except for the conduct of the Southern leaders.”

Cool history!

Congress had rejected President A. Johnson’s Reconstruction plan because it would "rebuild southern society on the old, pre–Civil War blueprint.."

On September 4, 1866, Johnson called those who opposed his plan “traitors” and suggested they should be hanged.

Congress's response?

Brazil: next target for Trump military action?

(maybe /s, maybe not)

You should definitely get Lindsey Halligan to indict them.

Sure as hell is.

On public opinion, I think you said? Hmmm...trying to imagine....

Ver', ver' interestin'!

Interesting..dare I to say it makes me feel better?

HA! She did get apples for your pie, though, she says...hope you get 'em soon!

Good! So are you sending them to Heather for her pie?

I would have SO many questions - which is why we need 5 year olds!

Yes! The whole focus on 'metrics' and Likert scale evals makes me despair. It's WAY too similar to how we've been doing PreK- 12 education since the Every Child Left Behind Act over 20 years ago...sets everyone up to fail!

Rogan's not wrong...

..and that's very interesting...

"We need everyone who cares about our country and our future to link arms and fight back against Donald Trump. And if that includes Joe Rogan, great. He’s welcome to bring his followers."

Posting this again below:

"A man like Trump needs emotional feedback to function. Fear works. Flattery works. Even anger works. Mamdani gives him nothing. He sits there with the calm of someone who refuses to let the other person set the emotional tempo."

Exactly!

Great point!

Great point!

I wonder if this was all part of the shock response when Putin left the Alaska meeting early.

Needs to be looked into for sure..seems to be Gmail..mine was fine in Yahoo.

Congress, pay attention. We the People decide where our money goes — not the President. And we are demanding full support for Ukraine, with everything they need to win. Trump does not hold the power of the purse. The American people do. Act accordingly.

Ditto!

MOTHER JONES: “You should be paying attention to the race in Tennessee’s 7th congressional district”

“ICE is just targeting brown people who have an accent, snatching people out of their cars”

Racial profiling is all they do

"Plus he was in his right mind."

You're swearing in public again, dear..good on you! LOL

In case you missed #4:

The Coast Guard caved.

Yes! Tried to re-watch it recently, though and couldn't...too sad the 2nd time through for some reason.

*I am trying to check out the "White Rose USA" reference at the top - doesn't sound like the disinformation group!

Excellent analysis!*

"Thirty Minutes in the Lion’s Den: The Interview Trump Thought He Controlled:

"And if there’s a lesson here for the rest of the country, it’s this:
Fear is the oxygen of authoritarianism.
Take it away, and even a strongman starts to sound like a man."
