I'm glad that many Democrats are changing their tune on immigration, but in this house, we never forget who voted for the Laken Riley Act and who voted for Biden's shameful border militarization bill.

A message from Scotland to Trump on Burns Night

Ye see yon birkie ca’d a lord,
Wha struts, an’ stares, an’ a’ that,
Tho’ hundreds worship at his word,
He’s but a coof for a’ that.
For a’ that, an’ a’ that,
His ribband, star, an’ a’ that,
The man o’ independent mind,
He looks an’ laughs at a’ that

Eventually You're Going to Have to Stand for Something On accepting the fascist offer and being better than Ezra.

I wrote about why the regrettable conclusions of Ezra Klein pissed me off so badly in the last couple weeks.

On moral cowardice in an era that calls for clarity, and a popular political instinct to try to solve divisions of abuse by ignoring causes. www.the-reframe.com/eventually-y...

Bad, whiny messaging that is demoralizing to read. If I don’t see bold-face phrases like “annihilate funding” and “criminal prosecutions” I want new Dem representatives

Abolishing ICE is just minimal human decency.

please do not post things you don’t want to see on The Free Press and Fox News later this evening

JK Rowling et al. don't care about women's safety or fair sports or anything, they want to eliminate trans people from public life, and that's why you cannot give an inch to evil freaks like her.

Trump's Budget Chief Is About To Go Rogue On Massive Spending Cuts Russ Vought said to expect more massive spending cuts because Trump is "not cowing to a legislative branch’s understanding of its own authorities and powers."

i think it is bad that the president's budget director thinks congress is an advisory body and that the constitution is a set of recommendations www.huffpost.com/entry/russ-v...

Eric Adams, a gentile, going after Brad Lander, a Jew, for not investing in Israel because Adams is running on the End Antisemitism party line to try to salvage his own corrupt legacy and hold onto power is really giving the game away in a way that I hope people notice

The largest union in America, the three million member-strong National Educators Association, has voted to *cut all ties* with the Anti-Defamation League, citing the ADL’s opposition to Palestinian rights and antiracism.

Trump not only doesn't support, protect nor defend the Constitution, he consistently deliberately undermines it.

Put all the pressure you can on your elected representatives.

Get Him Out.

Apparently the Trump admin thinks “court order” is just a suggestion. Judges aren’t having it — and neither should the public.

📣 Our system only works if power can be checked.

I love Somerville, MA.

Except the traffic and rent prices but other than that I love it so much.
