The crime is not what we were doing protesting in the 10th floor elevator lobby of 26 Federal Plaza.

The crime is what ICE agents are doing on the other side of the door.

I think this shows that many Americans vote based on vibes or emotions and lack a developed and cohesive perspective on politics and society and theory of change. There’s often no coherence between their views and who they vote for.

Extreme inequality inevitably leads to instability, slower economic growth, chaos, and political violence. No matter how many billions you have you aren’t completely insulated from living in a violent and chaotic society. Do they really want to live in a violent and chaotic society?

From a euphemistic NYT times article about Trump and AI:”….a gleeful medium that matches his populist style. “

NYT is peak white violence euphemizer

The Supreme Court’s majority right wing indicated in oral arguments that they think racism is over on the same day that the vice president defended the “I love Hitler” guy, and that the NYT reported that the current administration plans to accept only white, English-speaking refugees.

From the New York Times: Breaking news: U.S. attacks Venezuelan boat for fourth time, challenging legal bounds

Zodiac killer murders again, challenging legal bounds

The fascism does not get more in-your-face than this

This is the language of dictators.

Exactly. People with a moral compass still have one. What’s right and wrong is as clear as it ever was. Not being sure how to achieve victory over fascism is not the same as having no compass.

Statement from @postguild.bsky.social on the firing of Karen Attiah:

He’s had more than a few bad columns. This was just the worst among many bad ones.

Not Maine we don’t want him here.

Please don't forget, and don't let anyone else forget, they did this openly.

Watching all these centrist pundits stress the “civility” of Charlie Kirk’s style without addressing the ugliness of his substance is giving me a renewed appreciation of how the civil, polite White Citizens’ Councils conned the same crowd into thinking they were distinct from the cruder Klan.

Yes seems so.

You said it. if the shoe fits

The assassination of Charlie Kirk makes we worry we can no longer have peaceful discussions of whether gays should be stoned to death or civil and collegial debates about whether black people are inherently inferior. Our culture will suffer.

New York Times tomorrow

This excellent column by @jamellebouie.net reminds me how much the "national conservatives" sound like the segregationists of the civil rights era, who, like Senator Schmitt, also dismissed the Declaration of Independence.

Don’t give them ideas

New York Times push alert Breaking News now The Supreme Court lifted restrictions on ICE agents in Los Angeles, allowing them to make indiscriminate stops based on factors like ethnicity.

sounds bad when you put it this way

no surprised that brett ”almost certainly flunked his remedial classes” kavanaugh thinks the constitution authorizes a race-based federal “papers please” regime. quick, someone ask him what he thinks of the fugitive slave act.

Who among doesn’t focus on a hat when the threat is military takeover of cities and rampant oppression of the people?

Duckworth post is exhibit a in why we’re in this mess. Wtf is wrong with democrats.

Being lawless does not make Trump omnipotent – nor can he just snap his fingers and make all his authoritarian desires a reality.

America is in an acutely dangerous situation. But obscuring those distinctions is an act of defeatism that only serves the regime.

in a very literal, word and sentence structure sense, what does "pushing the boundaries" mean here? which boundaries? how are they being pushed?

like, is "not doing it anymore" what it means to push a boundary?
