Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.
Bill Kristol sees this shit clearly. I don't know how so many elected Democrats don't.
No Kings. No War.
She was brought to the US as an 8yo, worked hard, studied, earned a scholarship, planned to become a nurse.
ICE kidnapped her. Held her for 6 MONTHS in a detention facility with conditions so miserable that she finally agreed to voluntarily move to Honduras, which her family left at gunpoint.
This is evil -- the kind of evil you read about in history books, the kind of evil you would never mistake for a single second if you saw it in another country. When you ask, of historical evils, "how could they let that happen?" That's us. We're letting this happen.
The suggestion seems to include the idea to “dumb down your vocabulary.”
So much for nuance, complex thinking, and using respectful language. These things are “woke” and the MAGA don’t like any of this stuff.
And we should drop to the bottom if we want to win again. Right?
I love indulgent writing about my generation as much as the next guy, but it seems like if you're going to write about Gen X you should mention the lamentable fact that Gen X dudes are the Trumpiest demo in the country.
I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
I used to have all kinds of complicated, nuanced thoughts about political ideology and policy, but all that remains is, man, I hate these fucking fascists.

Yes! ❤️
Whoa!
Folks showed up in Kalispell, Montana to protest at the Hands Off! event!
Amazing!
HERO vs ZERO
I'm in a state of shock & still trying to process yesterday's shameful, traitorous debacle in the WH: A DAY THAT WILL LIVE IN INFAMY. Our standing in the world has plummeted overnight, but the repercussions will be felt forevermore.

And let me say before any Republican law maker is asked about what just happened in the White house...fuck you
You're responsible for this.

Halftime show is a good reminder that the left will always win culture. Always. Art comes from curiosity, novelty, openness, the ability to understand & juxtapose multiple perspectives simultaneously, surprise & irony & layered meanings, all of which are alien to the authoritarian mind.
The real scam: making you fear the “the other” while the rich rob you blind. I wish every American understood this.
They're going to illegally dismantle the Department of Education and strip millions of students of student loans, funding for students with disabilities, etc.
They want to destroy public education.

Good going, America. 🙄😑A big F-you to everyone that voted for this.
Ferris Bueller tried to warn us
Dude. I'm Pissed.

The U.S. Supreme Court will not hear a case brought by Montana Secretary of State Christi Jacobsen (R), who was seeking to revive two voter suppression laws targeting new voters and indigenous voters. The laws will remain blocked.
I do hope TikTok’s defenders on the left reconsider their support for the app in light of its totally shameless support for Trump out of cynical self-preservation. What a grotesque spectacle of bending the knee for an autocrat.
I’m trying, and I hope other people will try, to hold onto the simple notion that a US president cannot simply declare a federal law that was passed last year and literally upheld this week to be a nullity—even if it’s a not-so-hot law. The Congress is the body that can amend or repeal federal laws.
As you journey into the new year, remember this - What you bring with you is what you choose to carry.
Leave behind the anger, the grief, the snacks that nourish only your worst impulses.
Pack only the good, the positive, the best of you.
Your load will be lighter, I assure you.
Safe travels.
It’s going to be a Sh**Show.
