*No Accused Pedophile, Sex Trafficker, or Rapist Left Behind*
That’s the motto of the totally normal, not apocalyptically pedophile-riddled political party that now says it will frame the midterms as a choice between two political parties
If you're wondering why the Senate is in session at midnight tonight, it's because Republicans are trying to jam through at least $70 billion for ICE with no accountability.
$70 billion for ICE. $0 to help families. $0 to help lower costs.
What a disgrace. I'm voting NO.

#ClaudeMythos sounds like a Peter Lorre character in a Fritz Lang film.

Does anybody have the stones to use the 25th Amendment?
Introduction of Timothy Snyders latest book, which reads: 1 Do not obey in advance. Most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given. In times like these, individuals think ahead about what a more repressive government will want, and then offer themselves without being asked. A citizen who adapts in this way is teaching power what it can do.
Timothy Snyder:
I'm waiting for the verses about the watch.
Look at the big brain on Pete.
Look at the big brain on Pete.
In all fairness, I think you went easy on him.
I live in DC and in recent weeks found myself in the same room with a self-identified (and publicly documented) J6er. The vibe was some mixture of creepy proselytizer and sociopathic gangster.
Amazon will pay $20.5 million to settle allegations that two of its Oregon data centers helped contaminate groundwater.
This is exactly why communities across the country are organizing to stop data centers — and winning.
Never doubt your power to change the system.
This is what happens when a polity devolves from citizens to consumers.
ICE is not about immigration.
ICE is about normalizing a paramilitary force on peaceful streets.
Abolish ICE.
Spent this week drafting a short story. I spent Mon-Wed unspooling ideas. I woke up today with a sick feeling of 'what am I supposed to do with all this?' I wrote & wrote & I got to something! There is no greater high. GETTING TO SOMETHING is the thing. The only thing.
Anyway, fucking fuck AI.
So it appears that the “Door Dash Grandma” is just another Republican scam
Really, is anyone surprised? At all?

Is it too early to call Péter Magyar's prime ministership a disappointing failure?

I’m so happy for all of the Hungarian people! The voter turnout was the highest ever and last time I looked it was at 79 percent. If only US citizens could turnout like this?
I've studied so many concentration camps through history that held vulnerable people in just this kind of crowded squalor. You demonize people, you demand more arrests, this is what you get. It already has its own budget and its own momentum, and is on track to go much further, unless we stop it.

We will need to reform Congress at some point. The fact a sitting president can threaten a civilization with no rapid repercussions is proof Congress is too weak.
