Morning. Palm Springs.
Sometimes you need to say it out loud.
Food for thought. Don’t agree with everything in the article but worth considering.

Chris Murphy: "I sat with the kids for an hour. They saw things in these prisons they'll never forget. The bottom line is we have a constitutional obligation to only fund an administration that's operating lawfully. We cannot, we should not fund DHS if it committing these crimes."
I am so sorry Brent. Stay strong, my friend. May love carry you through.
Didn’t hear the boos…
1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.
This is in fact one of the things congressional Dems can do - and they're doing it (and have been on this and other topics). Hard to break through, but this one seems to have a bit and even when it doesn't creating a public record is worthwhile.
We want to thank Greg Ketter again for standing up for what's right. And for @comicsjournal.bsky.social for this follow up interview. Greg, we salute you & admire the generous way you're handling all this new attention for yourself & Dream Haven Books and Comics. Thank you for the ElfQuest mention!
Tom Homan: "My goal is a complete drawdown and end this surge [in Minneapolis] as soon as we can. But that is largely contingent upon the end of the illegal and threatening activities against ICE in the community."
Translation: The beatings will continue until morale improves.
Redistricting did not turn out how Trump wanted. So, now he is resorting to political prosecutions, ballot seizures and the threat of federal paramilitary to steal the 2026 midterms. He is normalizing the idea that his administration will take over ballot counting. We cannot let that happen.
Swalwell: The guy said he would cut prices, and instead he’s killing people—and I’m not signing off on that.
cc @massgovernor.bsky.social. If an ex-CIA national security Dem in VA can do this, you sure as hell can too
Folks, as of right now the stunningly talented artist Frazier Irving is homeless and needs your help. He hasn’t got a fundraising page because he doesn’t want charity but he is selling pages. Please give his shop a look and buy something that appeals if you can.

I LOVE this guy!!!!
I hope he's wearing a bullet proof vest - cause those are some serious zingers and ICE has thin skin.
"Put away your weapons. Nobody's threatening you, you pathetic babies!"
Elizabeth, a 10-year-old Minnesota girl, spent a month detained at the ICE facility in Dilley, TX before her release last night w/ her mom.
Dilley now has a measles outbreak and hundreds of other kids remain detained. Elizabeth has flu-like symptoms and her mom has hives, a school official told me
"Trump’s tariffs as “indiscriminate and haphazard,” noting they “have not revitalized American manufacturing and have significantly damaged American farm economy.”
The tariffs have also hurt farmers’ access to overseas markets"
"States run elections, period. They don't act as the agent of the federal government. They don't act as the agent of the president -(he) has no role, and we cannot allow him to sort of slide this by people, as if somehow the states are doing his bidding..." -

I wish I could interview the artist behind this
People always ask me how I made my many millions. The answer is by selling five dollar zines at regional comic book conventions
I do not make this comparison lightly.
It is terrible to see what is happening at The Washington Post. Democracy Docket is a small newsroom, but it is growing. If you want to work for an independent, pro-democracy media outlet, I encourage you to apply. ats.rippling.com/democracy-do...
happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.
The house is now 218 R to 214 D.
Each Republican member if they had balls would be more powerful than any Senator. But they have to have balls to say no to trump.
But they are ball-less or ball free
