Radical centrist news junkie and trauma-bonded political spectator since JFK's assassination in my youth. Know enough history to know what we stand to lose. Hopeful realist, because there are no alternatives. We need another Roosevelt, R, D, or I!!!

AOC on ICE: It’s our task to figure out how to claw back what has essentially supercharged this agency into becoming a relentless domestic paramilitary that is also a blank check to Palantir to create facial-recognition scans on U.S. citizens.

@EricMGarcia: What do you make of Kristi Noem calling Alex Pretti a domestic terrorist?

AOC: Kristi Noem’s actions in Minnesota and her leadership on ICE in general are grounds for impeachment.

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.

In the cosmic eye's helical gaze, a white dwarf star pulses eternal fire, encircled by ionized gas clouds in sapphire swirls, veiled by interstellar dust's amber whispers, amid a tapestry of distant background stars. P.S. Space art ✨ Planetary nebula.

Bovino is just the patsy - a noxious and odious fall guy. Stephen Miller is the architect and prime mover of the whole thing. Everything they do is at his direction - often after his threats. As long as he runs policy in the WH, nothing will change no matter how many Bovinos come and go.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. dedicated his life fighting for equity and justice. He taught us that even in the face of intimidation and discrimination, we must never stop working towards a better future – a lesson that feels especially relevant today.

Opinion | Trump took the tea party’s racial resentment and made it MAGA Philip Bump: President Trump said the civil rights movement led to white people being β€œvery badly treated.” It is impossible to overstate how important this idea is to his politics.

Kristi Noem's assault on the Fourth Amendment Thanks, Brett Kavanaugh.

New in PN: Kristi Noem's assault on the Fourth Amendment

"The Department of Homeland Security deliberately confuses reasonable suspicion and probable cause in hopes that no one will notice that ICE and CBP are making illegal arrests as standard operating procedure."

Alex Pretti was an American hero. He saved lives. He protected people. He cared deeply about his community, unlike the murderous thugs who killed him.

The very last thing he did was try to help a woman who had been pepper-sprayed and violently shoved to the ground by ICE. 1/

It's probable obstruction of justice. She is interfering with an investigation of possible homocidal criminal violence to provide political support for the POTUS who appointed her. If a conspiracy of incitement of violence could be established, she may even be an accessory after the fact in murders!

Gallego: I think it's ridiculous that Kristi Noem just went out right away and basically called this poor victim, a violent terrorist. That right there is impeachable. She lied about a citizen to justify his murder. The president should ask for her resignation.

.@PabloReports: What do you make of the White House blaming the police for what happened on January 6th?

Lieu: The White House’s statement is batshit crazy.

Samuel Alito flew two flags used by insurrectionists.

Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election.

Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the January 6th plot.

It's a stain on our nation that this has effectively been forgotten.

Donate to send James Talarico to the U.S. Senate! James is running for Senate to take on billionaires and their puppet politicians.

TV ads like this help us reach voters all over Texas β€” but they aren’t cheap.

He wants to kill Obamacare, but has no other plan. He is not satisfied with his deportation operation because his ICE agents are not abusive enough. He plans to continue murdering people in the Caribbean Sea because the law and these humans are of no concern to him. All this thanks to John Roberts.

TO THE ATTENTION OF THE MAGPIE OUTSIDE MY WINDOW:

Dear sir,

As a bird, it must be hilarious to make a dog lose his mind every day, at the same time, with nothing more than your beak.

However, some of us live *inside* the house with him.

Sincerely,

The lady who provides you roasted nuts

As a child, I remember hearing & reading stories about mad kings & insane emperors. I marveled at the casual cruelty & general unfairness of "whipping boys" & "let them eat cake" nonsequiturs as I watched black & white TV news of police releasing dogs & firehoses on peaceful folk & war in Vietnam.
