MAGA Is Big Mad About Da New Pope. Because compassion is โ€œweakness.โ€

โ€œEvery act of compassion is an act of defiance. Every moment of empathy is a refusal to surrender. Every time we choose decency over cruelty, we reclaim a piece of our shared humanity. This is the fight of our timeโ€”not for power, but for the soul of our nation.โ€

Listen Chuck, I know your brows are furrowed to the max and if you had some pearls you'd be clutching them the way you clutch on to your Dem "leadership" but...take some action?

Are you aware of what Sen Chris Van Hollen is doing? How about you hop on that wagon? Or just step down. That works too.

I have a feeling that Miller is single-handedly stopping the admin from just getting this guy back. From a legal POV it would be better for the governmentโ€™s case if they can show the ability to correct error. But Miller is pathological about getting brown people out and not letting them in

Calm down, folks, it was just an attempted assassination of a Jewish Democratic governor and his family on the first night of Passover, itโ€™s not like somebody spray painted a dick on a Cybertruck.

This @gregsargent.bsky.social piece made me ponder why theyโ€™re not bringing back Abrego Garcia. I see 3 reasons.

First, these guys really hate immigration. They know that doing crazy stuff like this will make immigrants less likely to come here, and less likely to stay.

๐Ÿšจ NEW: These are photos from Pennsylvania @GovernorShapiroโ€™s home after police say an arsonist set it on fire while the Governor and his family were sleeping around 2 a.m.

Cody Balmer of Harrisburg was arrested. Charges expected: attempted murder & terrorism.

โ€œWhat John Lewis Would Sayโ€
i saw you todayโ€”
not with fists,
but with spine.
not in fire,
but in the line
you drew with your presence.

you stoodโ€”
not to shout,
but to show
that stillness, too,
can glow
when itโ€™s rooted in no.

and baby,
thatโ€™s good trouble, too.

Pundits hate simplicity. If something is simple you donโ€™t have to have pundit expertise to explain it.

Trump Cabinet now has a public record as the stupidest Cabinet in history.

This isnโ€™t complicated. They are stupid rich people. Any analysis that doesnโ€™t begin with their stupidity is stupid.

Can you guess who was president during *both* crashes? I bet you can!

Tactically, this seems like a fantastic time for institutions (law firms, universities) and individuals (Repubs in Congress) who want to stand up to Trump.

He's openly cratering the economy, the weakness of Elon's ability to buy elections was just revealed in Wisconsin. The emperor has no clothes.

Trumpโ€™s Most Dangerous Power Grab From Marc | It was only a matter of time before Trump's executive order targeting free and fair elections was challenged in court.

No executive order has the potential to do more permanent damage to our constitutional system than the one Trump signed last week targeting free and fair elections. It is both an unconstitutional power grab and a clear violation of federal law. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...
