I say this without a hint of sarcasm. The Armageddon DVD commentary is the finest work of Ben Affleck’s career.

They’re lashing out against Habeas and arresting Mayors because they know their position is weak and getting weaker, and they’re panicking. It’s scary to live through, but it’s less scary when you remember this isn’t coming from a position of strength, it’s sweaty desperation.

"Tariffs are a great thing, just don't show them on your website to customers" is a flawless encapsulation of 2025 so far. No notes. 10/10. It's amazing how stupid these people think you are.

A 2-year-old citizen was deported. A judge was detained. People are disappearing. The emergency is now. As a critical care physician, I’m trained to act—and I will. I’ll use everything I've got to defend our constitutional rights. That’s what leadership looks like.

NEW: Judge Xinis accuses the Trump admin of "a willful and bad faith refusal to comply with discovery obligations" in the Abrego Garcia case based on "continued mischaracterization of the Supreme Court’s Order." She orders full responses. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Defendants-
-and their counsel—well
know that the falsehood lies not in any supposed "premise," but in their continued mischaracterization of the Supreme Court's Order. That Order made clear that this Court "properly
required the Government to 'facilitate' Abrego Garcia's release from custody in El Salvador and to ensure that his case is handled as it would have been had he not been improperly sent to El Salvador." See Noem v. Abrego Garcia, 604 U.S. — (2025), slip op. at 2; see also Abrego Garcia
v. Noem, No. 25-1404, 2025 WL 1135112, at *1 (4th Cir. Apr. 17, 2025). Defendants' objection reflects a willful and bad faith refusal to comply with discovery obligations. The objection is
overruled. Defendants are therefore ordered to supplement their answers in full compliance with
the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Their answers must include facts responsive to the requests,
not oblique and incomplete, non-specific characterizations. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 33(b)(3) (requiring
that each interrogatory be answered "fully").

Secretary Hegseth lectured the country for YEARS about the dangers of mishandling classified information. The hypocrisy is stunning. Hegseth’s actions have clearly undermined our national security. He must resign.

Some people in Jamelle's comments are reading "political ambition" as an insult, but ambition can dovetail with courage and leadership—it's what makes some politicians take worthwhile risks
Bluesky post from Jamelle Bouie dated April 1, 2025:

what booker is doing right now is an example of what i mean when i say things like "we need more ambition right now." there is room in american politics right now for people with ambition to take big stands and reap the rewards. he's doing it!

Nobody from Target can explain why they thought ending DEI programs and cutting ties with Black businesses would have no impact on Black consumers spending money in their stores. They knew we'd stop. They simply underestimated the impact of us cutting them off. That's why it's still "no" for me.

There is nothing comforting about “I’m just as scared as you” coming from the legislative branch that’s supposed to keep checks and balances on the executive. While she thought it was relatable, it is actually mortifying.

Please repeat over and over: “Bending to the whims of a bully will not end his cruelty. It will only embolden him. The response to authoritarianism isn’t acquiescence. Bullies respond to one thing, and one thing only: a punch in the face.” —Gov. JB Pritzker

Mohsen Mahdawi of White River Junction, Vermont was illegally detained by ICE during what was supposed to be the final step in his citizenship process. Mr. Mahdawi, a legal resident of the US, must be afforded due process under the law and immediately released from detention.

After mass boycotts against Target for ending their diversity equity inclusion program in January, they’ve suffered 10 consecutive weeks of decline in foot traffic as well as significant loss in market value whilst Costco sees significant gains for keeping their DEI program. Good.

Trump's Social Security nominee just lied to the Finance Committee, claiming he hasn't been involved in any DOGE plans to gut Social Security. My office has a whistleblower that says otherwise. We brought the receipts.

This DEI purge of certain keywords - women, girls, gay, etc., is like if you're an author, and you want to do a "Find/Replace" to change a character's name from "Ted" to "Tad," and now someone has "platad" the food and someone is "bootad" from their job, etc.

Here's what Google fails to recognize. They achieved market dominance because they had a good product. Before them, I used Yahoo. Before that, it was Lycos. I don't have brand loyalty to Google now that they suck. DuckDuckGo may become the new hotness. People ultimately decide the value.
