So that’s most of them now?

If we believed women, and actually gave a shit about what happens to them, we would live in a world unrecognizable from this one. 😔💔

Alligator Auschwitz points to the same reduction to clever phrases with a bonus of being offensive as it diminishes the atrocities in both places.

BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.

I’d be asking before the first date.

Today is Day 9.

0 deals.

Police won’t get violent with white crowds.

We have a winner…🏆

There is no such thing as an ‘illegal immigrant’ | Mehdi Hasan It is a factually inaccurate and totally, utterly wrong to say that undocumented people are ‘illegal’ and are ‘criminals’

“In 2012, in Arizona v United States, the highest court in the land ruled that “as a general rule, it is not a crime for a removable alien to remain in the United States”.

Got that? Not. A. Crime.”

From my new Guardian op-ed:

I should have made more AOCs.

We do not need to throw trans people under the bus.

“Dartmouth College on Monday announced it had hired the Republican National Committee’s former chief counsel — an outspoken critic of birthright citizenship — as the college’s top lawyer and leader of its immigration office.”

Well, they’ll say no now but then they will vote how he tells them. What makes us think impeaching judges is more distasteful than confirming his disastrous appointments or anything else? They’re behind him lock step when the time comes.

It is a sad day for the legal industry. Paul Weiss, didn't just bend a knee, it set a new standard for shameful capitulation. This is a stain on the firm, every one of its partners, and the entire legal profession.

Fuck Bill Maher. Again and still.

That’s the post.

They do seem like inconsistent positions, but the attacks on teachers was really about dismantling public schools to get taxpayer dollars for home schoolers and private charter schools run by charlatans.

What a wonderful idea…👇

Let’s. Do. This. ✨

British PM Starmer hugged Zelenskyy. That’s how bad U.S. foreign policy has gotten—it’s driving the Brits to physical displays of emotion.

@mcuban.bsky.social I have an idea for you! Elected Republicans are terrified to speak out. Why don’t you create a fund for legal support, relocation, and round the clock security detail for any republican Congressperson or Senator who wants to oppose trump. We only need a few in each house.

There it is! "Putin went through a hell of a lot with me. He went through a phony witch hunt." He is referring to them weathering their collusion becoming public, and now is the big payback: together until the end.

Maybe stand and turn your backs

In fact, this may be the actual moment we finally realize how tightly trump’s reign of terror holds lawmakers. And that there’s no one coming to save us. No matter what they do.

Watching the republicans line up to say how great trump was is astonishing. I guess it shouldn’t be by now but it is.

Wow. So I’m sure no one could have possibly predicted that the Zelenskyy visit was just a publicity stunt to pick a fight with him, kick him out, and then blame him when we help Putin destroy his country. So transparent and they don’t even care.

No Amazon. No Walmart. No Target. No Disney. No Google. No Apple. No Visa or Mastercard. And especially no Facebook or Twitter. Buy essentials such as medicine, food, and emergency supplies, of course, but make those purchases at small, local businesses and use cash. The purpose of today’s economic blackout is to send a clear message: We have the power.
