ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives. We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

Four-time Grammy Award nominee Jesse Welles performs his song "Join Ice." Bob Dylan once said a single folk singer could defeat an entire army. Ladies and gentlemen, I think we have our man.

Common Sense, published 250 years ago today.

Men who look upon themselves born to reign, and others to obey, soon grow insolent; selected from the rest of mankind their minds are early poisoned by importance; and the world they act in differs so materially from the world at large, that they have but little opportunity of knowing its true interests, and when they succeed to the government are frequently the most ignorant and unfit of any throughout the dominions.

When a cabinet member announces "We are using the military to liberate an American city from its elected leaders," where do you go from there. What is left to say. The idea of that being anything short of a near-universal "Wait, what the fuck is going on" moment proves how far we've backslid.

Impeachment articles on this alone should be submitted overnight. California should refuse cooperating with the federal government on anything. The legislature should pass a broad anti-commandeering law. And every governor worth their salt should fly to California and pledge mutual assistance.

"Liberation Day" as in "I'm going to liberate you from your retirement savings" This guy has got to go. He's broken countless laws, done innumerable impeachable things, cares only about himself, and is now deliberately destroying our economy.

Summary of the Boasberg hearing: Judge: how many planes took off yesterday and how many people were on them? Govt: We can't tell you. Judge: Why not? Govt: It's a secret. Judge: What kind of secret? Govt: that's also a secret.

Trump and Vance act as if the problem is that Ukraine is resisting an ongoing Russian invasion. The problem is the ongoing Russian invasion. If they want to use American power to stop the war, apply it to the aggressor. Abusing the victim is not going to end a war of aggression.

Over on X, simple tweets by my colleague Greg Bluestein of the Atlanta Journal Constitution have been blocked. They were nothing but video of a town hall held by Rep. Rich McCormick R-GA where he was asked questions about DOGE

I can't help but feel like we're living in the Ghostbusters 2 timeline but the river of slime is social media. All of the algorithms feature and promote outrage. I guess it's time to bring the Statue of Liberty to life to unite us all.

Meta accounts all deleted. Shouting into the ether on here until Bluesky's inevitable transition into fascist echo chamber. Enjoy it while it lasts folks.
