its another day to remind people that the reason kash patel is fbi director is because he wrote trump fan fiction, not because he knows jack about law enforcement. and nearly every republican in the senate approved his nomination. www.dailykos.com/stories/2024...

The DHS budget is now bigger than that of the United States Marine Corps and this is what Kristi Noem and the Trump administration is spending it on.

Estimates like these are always uncertain, but I reiterate my position that we’re not paying nearly enough attention to the absolutely staggering accumulating death toll from the destruction of USAID. It is arguably one of the great crimesβ€”morally, if not legallyβ€”of this millennium so far.

Raided the camps to confiscate the letters from the kidnapped kids.

Classic Good Guy behavior.

πŸ‘‡πŸŽ― Periodic reminder that the right-wing career/salary talking points about the liberal arts are belied by huge piles of data (e.g., news.wisc.edu/new-data-on-...), & the complicity of Democrats & university administrators in repeating those right-wing talking points is a major part of then problem.

On Nov. 16, a mental health counselor recorded in Kamilla’s medical records that her mother reported the girl had lost her appetite after being β€œserved food that contained worms.”

A week later, the couple said, children were told to gather in the gym for what they believed would be a Thanksgiving celebration. Excitement spread as families saw tables set with turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, they said. The children waited expectantly. But when a parent asked when the celebration would begin, Oksana said, staff told them the holiday meal was for employees, not detainees.

The children, she said, watched despondently as the feast was packed away.

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.

The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.

But the food wasn’t for detainees β€” it was for the staff.

The framing of transgender existence as ideology is unscientific and bigoted.

Just because it is widely used by the GOP and broader political right does not mean media and pollsters need to use the bigoted framing to be neutral.

They shouldn’t. They should only ever note the scientific consensus.

β€œIt’s just a horrible, horrible, horrible place,” he said of his detention camp. β€œI’m not in fear of the other inmates. I’m afraid of the staff. They’re capable of anything.”

Amazing how centrists always know better than Democratic voters, they always lose, and it's always the voters' fault

cf. NJ-11. They're trying to spin the result as anything but what it is: Voters choosing the candidate they wanted

I think one thing people outside Minnesota don't understand is that after Good and Pretti were killed by feds while observing, the most normal people you could imagine have made peace with the fact that they could be next, and they are still out there because they say it's the right thing to do.

the AltGov accounts are all bad. Yeah some like the NPS one are 100% conspiracy grift frauds, but even the "real" ones are just "Guy who used to work for FDA" and are, by their very nature fraudulent branding. Stop listening to these guys

I get the impulse to push for more, harder, faster, but it's worth noting here: the lawyers for both the state and various other plaintiffs have been working their asses off at absolute breakneck speed today.

Democrats can and must make it clear there will be trials and anyone even somewhat associated with ICE will face them. Maybe give a quit-your-job deadline on appeasement and give people 72 hours. I don't know. But currently the plan is to let them murder us in the street and get away with it.

I am not being snarky. I need my colleagues who wrote on covid school lockdowns to engage with this. To be as loud as they have been about prior "learning loss." Hell, you can cite Tom & Mark's AERJ paper so you feel better that there's some econ somewhere in your argument.

RFK Jr.'s agenda is quiet and doesn't involve masked goons - just deceiving the public and making it more difficult to access lifesaving preventive measures.

Make no mistake, RFK Jr. is deadly.
