And he has been apparently spending a chunk of time as VP writing a spiritual memoir, so it’s not like he’s been learning on the job!

I think we are far beyond the point where a serious person can plausibly claim that the immigration courts are offering a fair adjudication consistent with foundational principles of the American legal tradition. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/11/u...
Looking for you @repkimschrier.bsky.social
Please reconvene and move to impeach!

Donald Trump is an unhinged warmonger and war criminal using violence for personal gain and profit, while innocent people pay the price.
Congress must reconvene to pass the War Powers Resolution. The 25th Amendment must also be invoked. Congress has to do our damn job. War powers and Impeachment.
How could we consider the threats of war crimes to be a distraction? We are paying attention to all of it.
The opposition party is currently being led by People Magazine’s headline writers.

Is this real?
A single vote for Trump in the birthright citizenship case would be as bad as anything the Court has done since Bush v. Gore. This issue has been settled for more than a century. It is the jurisprudential equivalent of asking what 2+2 is. Any answer other than 4, something is deeply, deeply wrong.
They’d rather the country be poorer and whiter than rich and diverse. Of course when the pie shrinks, the rich will demand the same amount and will tell you the crumbs you’re left with are because of immigrants or trans people or DEI. bsky.app/profile/apne...
Who exactly are these panicking Democrats?
If the estimates were right, there were about 9 million people at No Kings rallies today.
That would mean this protest was THIRTY TIMES AS LARGE AS THE TEA PARTY PROTEST which we were told, over and over again, was a massively important sign that US politics had shifted dramatically to the right
Sandra Wong, the great granddaughter of Wong Kim Ark, is preparing to march at the #NoKings Rally in San Francisco. Today is the 128th Anniversary of the SCOTUS decision affirming birthright citizenship.
really can't be said enough that this case was decided by the same court that decided plessy v. ferguson. if they could have found a plausible rationale to limit birthright citizenship they would have done it. but there is none! the text is as clear as constitutional language can be.
It is being reported on the ground in Cuba that everyone on a ventilator at this hospital died overnight.
As a Cuban, I'm devastated.
If you will forgive a minor crashout on this point:
When Dems were campaigning in 2024 and said that if Trump were re-elected it would be the end of our democracy I BELIEVED THEM.
And so, I expected them to have contingencies in place for immediate resistance, as Trump had a roughly 50/50 shot.
Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone.
But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.
I actually think the behavior of the Republicans in the audience has been more noteworthy than Trump’s speech itself.
The braying, boorish jeers and yawps of a party fully given over to fascism.
Yes I think the question of the individual is nuanced but not the issue with the showrunners. And regardless of how blame is apportioned, this was a terrible experience for the presenters, their loved ones, and many others

This looks wonderful, I just signed up!
If you have @manongarcia.bsky.social back on the podcast to discuss that would make me very happy!
This is devastating news, so sorry for you and your colleagues as well as for all of us readers who have looked forward to your reviews for years
hindsight is 20/20 but maybe selecting university presidents on their willingness to debase themselves for private donor money is related to the current difficulties in defending academia from fascism
I have a 3 year old who has Spiderman PJ's he has to wear every night or he loses it. We do laundry around that need. I really can't describe the ways this has radicalized me forever.
I mean does anyone really think the Democratic Party has been too slow to compromise? Isn’t what Duhigg proposed exactly the strategy that lost Harris the last election? Ugh
I just listened to the podcast episode based on this article and I am just dumbfounded that anyone could still think it’s possible to find common ground or “move to the center” in response to MAGA. Just completely out of touch political analysis, very disappointing.
