Gotta give it to Trump, he has an unwavering, 100% dedicated commitment to doing the most horrible thing in any circumstance whatsoever.

POWERFUL “The murderers are ICE. They are who we need out of this city. Let us carry on our lives safely and not in fear of being shot. If we help a woman who slips on the ice, as I saw happen earlier today before that man was murdered… let’s say his name, Alex was murdered while he was helping.”

Every time Trump breaks the clear letter of the law, the NYT and WaPo write a story about how he’s “pushing boundaries” or “testing the limits of his authority” He's not Chuck Yeager, guys. He's a crook.

Last night on Threads, I asked #GenX how they were doing. In short, a lot of song lyrics from our childhoods are playing on a loop in our heads. We grew up with this shit. And here we are again.

Gen X had the best "we're all gonna die" music. We're still singing it today.

Are we really fucking doing this. Had nothing happened to Senator Padilla at all, what she was describing is a federal takeover of a major city by military force with no specified end-date, with no legal authority. Do not let the fascists talk their way out of that.

Don't let them lie to you about Senator Padilla. DHS is claiming the agents DID NOT KNOW he was a senator. He CLEARLY says (BEFORE he is tackled and cuffed) "I am Senator Alex Padilla and I have a question for the secretary."

STOP attacking Democratic leadership for “not doing enough.” Demand accountability from the GOP leaders who hold the majority in all three branches of government. It only takes a few of them stop this. Do NOT hold them to a lower standard. #democracy

The political media is obsessively relitigating the issue of Biden being too old and out of touch while the current president babbles incoherently at press conferences and regularly admits he's not the one making decisions on key policy matters.

If you’re CNN + see your audience as a group of skeptics, journos have to work harder to make their case. That’s ok. If you see them as a group of consumers… that’s how news media has fallen off. But if you see your audience as one guy in the oval office, you are not practicing journalism at all.

The US government, which has claimed it has to destroy American universities because a few pro-Palestinian protesters are evidence of unchecked anti-Semitism, is defending an actual neo-Nazi party in Germany.
