Yes, yes, the authoritarian president is leading a hate-filled rally in which he urges his followers to physically assault protesters but do NOT call any of these people Nazis or you will make David Brooks sad.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

That’s how he treated the young girls he raped. Told them to (basically) shut up and do what he wanted. Got angry when they cried or screamed. It’s how he treats anyone who isn’t an authoritarian prick.

The government’s argument in defense of Trump’s effort to ban MS NOW, CNN and Politico claims that publication of national security information alone breaks the law and that journalists should know that. This is a dangerous argument. FPF's Caitlin Vogus explains.

Caitlin Vogus: The Trump administration could be empowered to prosecute journalists, not just ban them from the White House, if a court accepts the Justice Department’s national security argument.

How do I know Hegseth’s order to deny access to bases to members of Congress is about a cover up, not about safety? Because I asked for a military briefing at the embassy as a substitute and was told the policy prohibited military leaders in the region from even talking to me.

That Kristol is making this point shows a sensitivity to how the right perceives rape—not as a crime but as a bonding exercise. Who do they worry about? Not the survivors, their own kids, or their spouse, but a son who might be accused. I'd agree that's mostly about declaring loyalty to misogyny.

Pretty clear Hegseth’s primary mission is to transform the military ideologically by overtly indoctrinating troops with Christian nationalism and apocalyptic holy war messaging while rooting out those who don’t want to participate and just want to serve their country admirably.

A letter to the NIMBYs in today’s paper: “Sometimes one has to ask oneself: Was my voice not heard, or did I just not get my way?”
Letter to the editor in today’s paper, in response to the quoted article: 

BUS RAPID TRANSIT
H Line plan works, even if it displeases some

A key element of the H Line bus rapid transit's planned alignment is access to Como Regional Park, Zoo and Conservatory, an invaluable community resource ("H Line plan is upsetting neighbors in St. Paul," Sept. 7). In addition to the zoo and conservatory, the park has a lake and miles of trails for year-round recreation. It receives funding from all levels of government, in addition to revenue and donations from park visitors.
Como Park belongs to everyone, but it is not easily accessible to all those who need it. In my neighborhood of Southeast Como (Minneapolis), there is one approximately 9-acre park. It's about a mile from our easternmost residents and contains neither lakes nor trails. Parkland and water access is fairly sparse for much of the St. Paul stretch of the route as well. The 3A currently provides our communities access to Como Park, but only twice an hour during the week and once an hour on Sundays. We aren't getting a new
300-plus acre park any time soon; this quality of life issue can only be mitigated by increasing transit service to existing parks like Como.

Metro Transit released an updated Recommended Corridor Plan on Aug. 24. It contains an Il-page report that breaks down the data and outlines the reasoning for keeping the Como Avenue alignment. An additional four pages are dedicated to the location of the Como and Chatsworth station. Clearly, a lot of thought went into making these decisions. Sometimes one has to ask oneself: Was my voice not heard, or did I just not get my way?

Wages of unionized workers are 13% higher than their nonunion counterparts. But unions also set a higher pay standard that all workers enjoy. In high-union-density states, median household income is $12,000 higher than in low-union-density states. This is why unions are vital.

Death by intentional neglect is the characteristic method of murder in concentration camps MOREOVER, using "emergency" conditions to degrade the conditions in concentration camps was partly how death rates went from a few percent to catastrophic (via www.sfchronicle.com/politics/art...)
ICE has not paid any of its providers for detainees’ care since Oct. 3, 2025, according to agency regulatory filings and the ICE website. In an internal directive issued shortly after, obtained by the Chronicle and not previously reported, ICE declared “emergency operations,” sharply limiting offsite medical care and access to medication.
