A cop warns on the price of witnessing death.
As a homicide detective, I can say with all of my being that there is no lesson learned in seeing someone die. But there is a price. And that price is your peace. Your decency. And the soul of our society.
We don't have to be this way, this fake tough but real ugly way. Stop

NEW: GOP Gov nominee Victor Marx told backers on a Zoom call last night that he doesn't regret slamming his wife into a door to teach her a lesson about self-defense. "I'd do it again," Marx said. Marx says she fake cried and physicality is just the nature of their relationship.

American conservatism may not be the absolute worst strain of conservatism in history, but it has to be the most intellectually bankrupt. “We ripped up all the established norms and now the new world is scary and different!” Wow, if only there was an ideology dedicated to conserving the old ways.

When the White House opens its doors to the press, it must comply with the First Amendment. The president is as free as any other person to criticize media coverage. But he can’t ban outlets from the White House just because he doesn’t like their reporting or commentary. Press credentials aren’t a reward for loyalty to the government. A free, even adversarial, press is a sign of our country’s strength. The public deserves to hear about its government from independent voices, not just its leader’s loyalists and allies.

New in PN: The muted response to Trump 9/11 fantasy is a media failure "The words coming out of his mouth reveal a man completely deluded and awash in fictions of his own making. And as long as he’s surrounded by people who will let him live in that world, we’re all stuck in here with him."

Act like it.

-vote to nationalize Starlink and

-defund ICE
That's the first day.
On the second, get more aggressive.

We really need to stop referring to these machines as “dogs.” That’s a descriptor given to them as part of a years long PR campaign to normalize their presence in civilian spaces. They are marketed as mobile surveillance and weapons platforms. We need to call them that.

A woman’s Global Entry was revoked days after she legally observed ICE agents. ICE agents showed up to a polling place to demand a worker remove an anti-ICE post. A man was sentenced to 30 years in prison for moving a box of left-wing magazines. Trump’s crackdown on dissent is here. Be warned.

He searched his email and found the one he sent to Lyons’ official work email, just after 9 a.m. Jan. 26.

This is what he said he wrote:

“You are a monstrous human being and will go down in history as America’s Reinhard Heydrich, the butcher.“The way you are protecting the obvious execution in Minnesota, even as we see the videos, will lead to your downfall. Even Trump will turn on you before the end, and you will be a sad, despised man who eats himself alive with shame at your own pathetic weakness.

“You will never know peace. You will seek to lose yourself, to escape the burden of knowing the truth about yourself. But wherever you go, you will find yourself. You will torment yourself until your last day on Earth.”Image text: 

Lyons resigned in May. As acting director, he carried out Trump’s most aggressive immigration campaign, overseeing raids in Minnesota, Chicago and other major cities. He was hospitalized twice because of stress, according to news reports.

We have to dream bigger and our political leaders must start speaking to these dreams. This was the roadmap of conservativism. We need our own.
Do you understand how heavy a lift it was to gut the Voting Rights Act? It took decades of placing the right (wrong) people in power and weaponizing bad-faith legalism to destroy one of the great achievements in the history of western democracy. You would have been laughed out of the room if, in the late 90s or early 2000s, you said the Supreme Court would nullify the VRA by 2026. You gotta hand it to these right-wing ghouls for imagining the return of Jim Crow and following through on it. This took tremendous political imagination.

There is no clearer case for the necessity of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 than how quickly southern states moved to eliminate Black-majority districts and dilute Black power after SCOTUS eroded Section 2. SCOTUS’s reasoning was immediately disproven by reality.
