It is not inherently political to describe the DOJ and Homeland Security's illegal actions as illegal. It is factual.

Also, 100s of thousands of these currently-noncompliant migrants *were* in compliance until Trump arbitrarily (with the Supreme Court's blessing) just said they're no longer in compliance.

The vast majority of people being rounded up are in *civil* noncompliance with immigration law. Implying they're "criminals" is just a lie.

Anyone who has served in uniform knows one thing: hope is not a plan. Military decisions require clear objectives, a coherent strategy, and a defined path forward. The president rushed us into war with Iran with none of these. Now, the American people are paying the price.

There's a shit-ton of actual anti-Semitism in the world today, but Netanyahu's fraudulent misuse of the term devalues it dangerously. Hamas is anti-Semitic and murderous. Netanyahu is a cynical, murderous shitheel. Mamdani is an American politician with a perverse impulse to tell blunt truths.

I am on a post-punk revival kick as of late. I don't know how I haven't heard The Killer's Pressure Machine until tonight. This is an amazing album embracing the Heartland-pop of Imploding the Mirage taking it in to a more reflective Americana-folkish sound focused on everyday American life.

A lot of Trumpism boils down to the belief that accurately pointing out facts to a man caught up in emotion and false conspiracy theories is a terrible wrong, one that demands retribution.

It is important to reject false dichotomies. The Republican party may oppose communism because it takes property from their corporate overlords. But they support Trump's fascination with Xi and Kim. And they support the authoritarian and unjust justice framework found in the former USSR and China.

When Joe Biden took office, America’s allies were willing to treat the first Trump term as an aberration. That ship has sailed. The world is no longer waiting for us to come to our senses, and the trust we squandered may take a generation to rebuild if anyone still believes we are capable of it.

Human intelligence is so intertwined with human emotions and impulses that it’s hard for us to think of an intelligent being that isn’t. Ancient gods driven by lust. Aliens like our best or worst selves. Even the monotheistic God is often described as jealous, wanting attention and praise.

Rogers says he built Chrysler vehicles on an assembly line. Records show his work was at an aftermarket facility that modified vehicles after they left the factory.
