If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

Donโ€™t bother trying to explain the economic consequences of tariffs to morons who believe treating people fairly makes airplanes crash

The people of Colorado are NOT happy with what's happening in Washington DC. If you didn't know, let this make it very clear.

This is absolutely alarming and horrible.

At OPM, Muskโ€™s staffers wonโ€™t leaveโ€”they work around the clock and have even installed sofa beds in the office. Our access to data systems has been restricted, raising serious concerns about cybersecurity and a complete lack of oversight. We are keeping our heads down and documenting everything.

Trump put a freeze on hiring air traffic controllers and, on Muskโ€™s instruction, fired the FAA chief early without replacing him.

This should be the only thing Dems are saying today. They should all be out on media saying this.

This is a crucial point to remember. MAGA has had this dehumanizing propaganda fed to them even longer.

I saw during COVID what RFK Jr.'s brand of skepticism could do | Op-Ed During COVID, when health professionals needed support from the public with vaccinations, I saw firsthand how misinformation led to death and trauma.

Thank you @seattletimes-rss.bsky.social for publishing my Op-Ed today.

RFK Jr.โ€™s โ€œconfirmation would undermine public health and betray hardworking health care professionals and researchers who work relentlessly to keep our patients safe and healthyโ€

Do not

Do not

Do NOT

Announce or even hint on your social media that youโ€™re doing illegal or potentially illegal things. Even if for excellent reasons.

You will be a target and make the people you aid targets.

Okay. As I said, it has been used in a lot of different ways. This is really not a topic I feel like arguing more about. There are more important things happening. ๐Ÿ‘ Have a good night!

And you're deliberately being unhelpful. If I'm blatantly wrong, then provide the correct definition you think it is.

That's what some people consider to be Blue MAGA, whether you agree with that or not. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ It likely has multiple definitions because it's been tossed around to describe a lot of different behaviors/stances. The extreme left has been the most common reference I've seen.

Blue MAGA is the extreme left.

He tweeted that Germany needs to bring back the ADF (the modern Nazi party) to their government. Then he does this salute twice today.

He meant to do it. This is one of the problems we need to be ready to face.

things i think as we enter another 4 years in the funhouse:

1/ trump doesn't have the horses or the discipline to end democracy and stuff

2/ trump's agenda is going to be very unpopular when it's actually implemented

3/ this is still gonna be a nightmare

one reason i am adamant that we should not treat the constitution as purely or exclusively a form of law is that it cedes the field to clever lawyers. โ€œoh, well if some chuds in trumpโ€™s white house says birthright citizenship doesnโ€™t exist then i guess it doesnโ€™t exist.โ€ but

This feels appropriate for today and, at least, the next 4 years.
