They're called sexual predators for a reason. Men! Talk to your friends. Talk to your sons and brothers. Ask them if they understand consent. Hold accountable their sexism. Show some backbone. Stop being cowards. Stop protecting rapists and assailants and harassers among you. They're the bad guys.

The First Amendment wasn’t actually “first.” The original First Amendment was meant to ensure that the House of Representatives grew in loose proportion to the country. Instead, the House’s size hasn’t changed since 1911. Today’s “One First” on that history—and the problems a capped House creates:

Bonus 256: The Original “First” Amendment
The only provision from the original Bill of Rights that was never adopted would've grown the House in proportion to the country. We should revisit it.

Don’t forget: billionaires are using their grip on social media and the news to convince us that peaceful protests don’t work, our vote doesn’t matter, and that both parties are the same. They’re spending billions on it.

Hegseth also removed the olive branches, a traditional symbol of wishing peace, from the Department of Defense seal. This, in addition to changing the name to "The Department of War," shows the dangerous belligerency that comes from appointing a frat bro who values testosterone over statesmanship.

a big part of being a good president is being smart about who to listen to, and organizing your office so you get good advice. trump is a uniquely terrible president bec (a) he refuses to listen to anyone who disagrees with him about anything, and (b) if you flatter him he'll do anything you ask.

I LOVE how @propublica.org dealt with official comment here, editorially and stylistically.
The Trump administration says none of this is happening. 

"DHS is NOT arresting U.S. citizens by mistake." "There are no 'indiscriminate' stops." Allegations of "racial profiling are disgusting, reckless and categorically FALSE." "The pattern is NOT of law enforcement using force." "ICE does not zip tie or restrain children." 

But that is precisely what is happening, and at a far larger scale than previously reported.

How is it not news when the president nods off in public meetings and press conferences dozens of times? If you follow independent media, you see it and know about it. But why hasn’t CBS, NBC or ABC showed a montage of it on their evening news? They simply refuse to ever show it.
