Yeah, Rs have this pretty sweet situation under Trump where they have a huge money funnel to fund their elections and voters say "both parties are equally corrupt, look at Pelosi's stock trades."

This is why I try to protect words for when they are needed to convey the immediacy and threat they represent. What Trump is threatening in Iran is *genocide*, pure and simple. Of course, that word doesn't land the way it used to.

It's moments like the one we are in when I have to say: liberals were right. We were always right. Yet we will never get credit for being right, because being right is not valued in America. HRC was right. They called her a bitch.

the current position of the US government is that NVIDIA should be allowed to sell chips directly to China but banned from using Claude, because the latter is a larger national security risk. that is the level of absolute insanity coming out of the White House & Pentagon nowadays

There are people with principled takes on the 2nd Amendment, like the 1st. But if you ever believed that the American Right broadly supported 2nd Amendment rights, as opposed to rights for people who agreed with them, you are a fool.

The killing of Alex Pretti and the grotesque lying was an overreach by the administration. They've paid a price and had to pull back a bit. But it's when there's some disarray that the democratic opposition needs to intensify the offensive, and turn a marginal tactical success into a major victory.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

White Americans have long been able to safely assume that their whiteness would shield them from the most violent and arbitrary uses of state power. But history also shows us that white people who stand up for their fellow humans who aren't white can inspire murderous rage. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Folks are about to learn a lot about the Eighth Circuit (the federal appeals court the jurisdiction of which includes Minnesota). It has 11 active judges; 10 appointed by Republican presidents (including four by Trump). And the one senior judge still hearing cases is also a Republican appointee.

It would take a two-word amendment to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 to subject ICE agents and other federal law enforcement officers to the same liability for constitutional violations that local and state officers currently face. If Congress actually cared about what it's seeing, it could pass that overnight.

So the "most transparent president in history" won't let Jack Smith's testimony become public. He's got them holding back tens of thousands of Epstein documents, haven't seen his taxes, his school records, and no one knows why the East Wing was destroyed before he even had ballroom plans. Yeah.

If you're blaming the Democrats for the shutdown of a government that is run entirely by Republicans, why stop there? Go wild, man. Blame the shutdown on leprechauns, or the Seattle Mariners, or maybe the cast of "She's the Sheriff." You've decided facts don't matter, so have some fun with it!

Interesting to note that the coal industry in the U.S. employs just a tad over 40,000 people, according to the BLS. The same source tells us that 64,000 people work at wineries.

So Democrats shouldn’t call Republicans fascist or gestapo or anything because that could provoke violence, but it is appropriate to call Democrats domestic terrorists or a domestic extremist organization. Do I have that right?
