Yes. My theory of the moment is Miller/Vance thought their view that immigrants threaten social solidarity would be widely shared. But ICE raids are driving native-born Americans to show solidarity with immigrants quite courageously. Now Miller is trying to disrupt that alliance with state violence.
Heartbreaking. The University of Nebraska will terminate its entire Earth science department.
One of the country's most successful and respected geology & climate programs: gone.
When ideologues & politicians are threatened by the very act of studying climate change, I wonder: who of us is next?
The Elves of the Imperial City are a fairly close-knit community. One of them will have at least heard of Faelian. You should ask around.
I love Wag the Dog, it’s one of my favorite movies, not least because it was made as a Clinton joke and works even better as a Bush joke. The “We are the World” dig holds up, as does Dustin Hoffman’s Robert Evans impression.
But it’s about faking a war as a distraction, not a real diversionary war.
If you give a good person power, they do good things. If you give a bad person power, they do bad things.
We all watched Captain America, right?
What he said Part 3: 💯 🎯
“You don’t know the way out.”
They’ve won in court, but ICE is still detaining and trying to deport them.
If this were actually true (it's not), then WHY THE FUCK would ANY federal worker remain on the job!?
Looks like a LOT of time-off to me.
Oh, and THIS IS WHAT FASCISM LOOKS LIKE!
I always pay attention to what stories People Magazine and other consumer media outlets cover. That's how you can tell that something has broken through the usual political and news bubbles. This horrific Chicago story has broken through. people.com/ice-agents-o...

Two of my faves together for one event! I can't wait to hear what @hcrichardson.bsky.social and @redwineblueusa.bsky.social say about the elections this fall, and how to resist authoritarianism right now, both in D.C. and in our own neighborhoods. Sign up with me! social.redwine.blue/s/dvvkQuO8
SCOTUS majority rules Fourth Amendment was actually just a suggestion.
Interview with an umpire.
RFK Jr. should’ve never been confirmed, & he’s proven that every day since. Children are literally dying from measles because of his lies & reckless anti-vax agenda. He is a threat to our health & our democracy. Public office has no place for deadly, deranged delusion. It’s time for him to resign.
Remember: The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class.
You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense.
KASIE HUNT: Over the summer you said, “There’s no vaccine that’s safe and effective”. Do you still believe that?
RFK JR: “I never said that.”
KASIE HUNT: “Play the clip.”
RFK JR (clip): “There’s no vaccine that is safe and effective.” (March 2024)

Senate Democrats: DO NOT FUND the government when the current continuing resolution expires at the end of the month. SHUT IT DOWN unless DC is funded, the troops are withdrawn from our cities, elections are protected, the Epstein files are released in full... SHUT IT DOWN.
You guys see where this is going? Right?
Fatality.
Oh, the irony if #DonaldTrump dies before Joe Biden.
What will corporate media do with itself?
We can't allow ourselves to become numb to mass shootings. What happened today in Minneapolis is heartbreaking, and Michelle and I are praying for the parents who have lost a child or will be sitting at their hospital bedside after yet another act of unspeakable, unnecessary violence.
Frey: And don't just say, this is about thoughts and prayers right now. These kids were literally praying. It was the first week of school. They were in a church.
As a former Texas State Rep, let me be clear: LOCKING Rep. Nicole Collier inside the chamber is beyond outrageous.
Forcing elected officials to sign “permission slips” & take police escorts to leave? That’s not procedure. That’s some old Jim Crow playbook.
Today's Letter to an American from @hcrichardson.bsky.social is a perfect example of why I listen every day. Firm, cutting, raw & as always, backed with receipts.
We need a record of the insanity, & it needs a footnote of our collective dissent.
