Trump called for genocide. His acceptance of the ceasefire doesn't change that. He needs to be removed from office.

All of my group chats are responding to Homan’s announcement by asking everyone to double down because: 1. ICE is still out there and abducting people today. We can’t trust the occupation is over until we actually see it. 2. People are going to be in an economic crisis for a very long time.

@markwarner.bsky.social @kaine.senate.gov This is why we need to disband ICE not just add a few rules. This administration is totally lawless and ICE is just the worst of the bunch. You add a few rules and they'll just violate them.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

For non-German speakers: “Dear media, I can’t stand the headline "No agreement between the US and Denmark” any longer. If an armed man storms a bank, you don't run the headline: "Robber and cashier can't reach an agreement on money transfer." Stop framing imperial aggression as normal diplomacy.”

It should be easy for educated, rational citizens to hold these two thoughts in mind: drug traffickers are the bad guys but due process of law protects us all. Being against blowing up alleged drug traffickers at sea on the president's word does NOT make one a supporter of drug traffickers.

We polled Indivisible members over the weekend on whether Dems should take a deal or keep fighting for the ACA subsidies. Results: 98.67% said keep fighting. Dems who vote to surrender now are fracturing their own party in a way that will reverberate loudly in the primaries.

Yes for starters, though more people should also learn that “coequal” is a myth, and a particular framing — by Jackson and Nixon — in service of their personal interests in executive power. Congress is Article I on purpose. Article II and III only function on the field Congress has legislated in.

On behalf of the people of Boston, and in solidarity with the cities and communities targeted by this federal administration for our refusal to bow down to unconstitutional threats and unlawful coercion, we affirm our support for each other and for our democracy.

Bad enough he's making a offer to carve up another sovereign country, which never turns out well, I've just heard on BBC news that he's also considering offering Putin some mineral rights in Alaska too.

How an obscure budget provision could upend judges' contempt power
At first glance, an obscure provision tucked into the sweeping tax and immigration bill passed by the House last week limiting the authority of federal judges to enforce contempt sanctions might look to some like a free pass for Trump administration officials to defy injunctions.
