A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

When the law is ignored, and the bullies run amok, we are no longer bound to be either nice or convenient. It's time to make #goodtrouble.

He's taking aim at mercury, soot, and toxic pollution restrictions, and federal protection of wetlands.

The EPA will also rewrite rules limiting pollution from fossil-fuel plants and cars, and more.

The GOP has been told not to host in-person town halls—what are they so afraid of? Hearing from their own constituents? Meanwhile, leaders like Tim Walz are stepping up. He’s hosting a town hall in Iowa, not even in his own district, making sure Americans’ voices are heard.

A screenshot of two tweets. The first tweet is from Rick Wilson. It reads: "The executive order creating DOGE specifically said unclassified systems only". The second tweet is from Angry Staffer. It reads: "Why does DOGE need access to classified material? And who is reading them into these programs?"

They have already blown past their own authority. The courts must enjoin them now.

[ID: A graphic with an irrational cube illustration in red and the following text in black: The Paradox of Tolerance disappears if you look at tolerance, not as a moral standard, but as a social contract.

(the following sentence is in red text) If someone does not abide by the terms of the contract, then they are not covered by it.

In other words: The intolerant are not following the rules of the social contract of mutual tolerance.

Since they have broken the terms of the contract, they are no longer covered by the contract, and their intolerance should NOT be tolerated.

(in small print below: Inspired by “Tolerance is not a moral precept” by Yonatan Zunger)

A graphic from Courier Newsroom with text reading, "The richest person on Earth will have an office inside the Trump White House, all while maintaining his ownership and direction of companies with billions of dollars in federal contracts." Below the text, Elon Musk sits on a chair between two flags, one American and the other representing a government seal, against a dark, smoky background.

I didn’t vote for this. None of us did.

PayPal is updating their ToS to let themselves give your data to merchants starting in November and they're certainly banking on people not knowing to opt out, SO to opt out before they start:

go to Settings > Data & Privacy > Manage shared info > Personalized shopping, and toggle that shit off
