The White House Antifa Roundtable is one of the best displays I’ve seen of this-is-how-bad-it’s-gotten — just a sewer of open fascism, dementia, morons and freaks, and incoherent rage.

We’re not dealing with brilliant strategists cleverly laying traps, we’re dealing with impulsive whiners whose advantage is contempt for laws, norms, and morality.

They’re not pulling some elaborate trick, they’re just willing—even eager—to do things regular, principled people consider off limits.

"We took the freedom of speech away"

Federal Agents Storm South Shore Building, Detaining Families and Children Families were woken by flashbangs and helicopters as hundreds of federal agents raided their homes. Days later, neighbors are still searching for the missing.

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here.

Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race

Pelosi: “how can we as a party transcend ourselves without a Republican Party that will determinately negate us.”

Maybe Weiss should have spent time in college learning how to write instead of trying to get her professors fired

Pretend you’re 65 & act accordingly: save your pennies, visit friends, enjoy slow walks in your neighborhood, shrug your shoulders at old beef between family & friends, grow a garden, forgive people because they’re “still young” even if they’re not but hold all politicians accountable. Get a cat.

This is who @emanabdelhadi.bsky.social is. Brilliant. Fearless. I fucking hate typing this shit out: Free Eman.

Amplify amplify amplify please.

Yesterday, Kristi Noem’s and Greg Bovino’s masked agents threw chemical agents near an elementary school, arrested elected officials exercising their First Amendment rights, and raided a Wal-Mart.

If you're issuing decrees, you're not exercising judgment (Fed 78).

Is there a running total of the number of times this year that ICE has deliberately broken the law in arresting or assaulting elected officials?

The rule of law means that civilians who commit crimes are prosecuted in courts of law with benefit of due process. Extrajudicial executions in international waters are an affront to our Constitution and the law of nations. It isn’t national defense. It’s murder.

It would be nice if we, as a society, stopped rewarding incompetent trolls.

It would be nice if we, as a society, stopped rewarding incompetent trolls.

One thing that I will say about classical political philosophy: a society that elevates people who reward friends and punish their enemies really does suck big time. No flourishing at all. Would not recommend.

Thank you, UPenn AAUP, for your powerful response to the administration's "invitation" (correctly renamed "threat") to join their academic compact. #academicfreedom #defendhighered @aaup-penn.bsky.social @aaup.org

WE WON: "This case -– perhaps the most important ever to fall w/in..this district court squarely presents the issue whether non-citizens lawfully present here in US..have the same free speech rights as the rest of us. The Court answers this Constitutional question unequivocally “yes, they do.”"

So now, both Trump and GOP Congressional leaders have endorsed Russ Vought's agenda of using the shutdown to engineer back-door impoundments.

Becoming an ancient crone who tells mystical tales to the English majors in my classes about the halcyon days when the college library was wall-to-wall stacks of wonderful books rather than 80% coldly sanitized monochrome “flex spaces”

The president just gathered the highest ranking officers in the military to tell them that he may order them to kill American citizens -- and that they better follow his orders. All in response to a series of crises that have no basis in reality.

I don't know how to yell any louder.

Support your local @aaup.org chapter and pay your dues.

"ICE goes masked for a single reason -- to terrorize Americans into quiescence."

17 people are dead from US strikes in the Caribbean this month and we still don't really know who they are and so far the president and VP have made jokes about scared fishermen.
