Are we sure it’s not a job requirement in this administration?

Calling up your Dem senators and thanking them for doing this is how you encourage them to hold the line, no matter how low your estimation of them is

Nevermind the jobs you had, tell me five classes you took in college:

Law and Public Policy (Sean Farhang)
Constitutional Law (Gordon Silverstein)
American Legal System (Bob Kagan)
Social Change

Tillis is retiring. He doesn’t have to fear being primaried or facing the general electorate.

He’s voting to fund ICE amid these atrocities because he agrees with what they’re doing.

And of course the Democrats are falling into this exact same trap now, focusing on affordability instead of authoritarianism. Both are important, but focusing on the former to the virtual exclusion of the other gives the dangerous impression that it's business as usual.

Aside from what Roberts says, which is true, this “reckoning” talk loses the plot.

Among Dem voters, any reckoning won’t be over Biden’s health, but over his style of governing — which focused on policy and economics over MAGA’s subversion of the rule of law. His presidency’s mortal flaw was there.

Thousands of people filled the streets of downtown Minneapolis in protest of federal immigration enforcement for the second consecutive Friday.

the answer is that jennings performance of smug dishonesty reliably generates viral clips, so they continue to have him on even though he is a shameless liar

Good to see --> Reps Eric Swalwell and Dan Goldman just introduced their bill stripping ICE agents of qualified immunity. We broke the news that this was coming on our podcast (see thread below for more info and context).

Yeah, I’ve long loved that version of Tom Joad. I’ve seen it performed both ways, but that and Youngstown both translated so well, so powerfully as rockers, and Morello is one of my very favorite guitarists.

Oh wow, I just choked back vomit reading that book title.

I wonder if there’s time for me to write a competing book titled Alito: The SCOTUS Justice (Or One of Them) Who Needs to Fuck Off Into the Sun.

Reminder: It is already dangerous to give birth in America. We have high rates of maternal mortality and maternal morbidity, especially among Black women.

If these people actually gave a damn about protecting life, they’d know better than to persist with these heinous policies that harm health.

Biden’s biggest misstep.

Can’t say that I was particularly smooth when meeting with @deluzio.house.gov at a Pitt committee meeting and oh-so-subtly going, “Speaking of health care, I wrote this book on health barriers and why yes I did bring an advance copy with me…”

I am going to be insufferable when it’s out 4/23.

Or how about this headline — “American citizen arrested without cause after exercising his Constitutional rights.” Very important that government propaganda not become the default framing.

Six days ago federal officers murdered a man in the streets of Minneapolis and we still don't know their identities. Is there any modern precedent for this?

It’s an affront to the idea of a written constitution that this case will reach oral argument.

Noooooo!!!!

ICE Brutally Dragged This Disabled Woman Out of Her Car. What Happened Next Was Just As Chilling. “They laughed at me and told me this wouldn’t have happened if I was a ‘normal’ human being,” Aliya Rahman tells The Nation.

After brutally arresting Aliya Rahman, an autistic, disabled woman, in Minneapolis, ICE agents told her that "this wouldn’t have happened if I was a ‘normal’ human being."

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

Georgia Fort, an independent journalist and vice president of the Minnesota NABJ chapter, was also arrested by federal agents this morning

I was sent this video of agents at her door:

White House with image of a Black man and an emoji of chains.

And the chosen image is of Don Lemon doing journalism.

reminder that a small handful of Republicans in the House and Senate could end this madness today

Democratic leadership: Okay, but will they have body cams?

I blame you for making me think about Meese before bedtime.

I’d also bring a list of local immigration lawyers’ phone numbers.

I’m losing my damn mind over this idiocy.

Oh my god, they’re already not allowed to deport US citizens.

This is not bargaining. This is acquiescence in the face of authoritarianism.
