I heard someone say it was β€œextreme” to demand the names of the ICE agents who murdered Alex Pretti.

No. Demanding government disclosure of the names of government agents when they kill Americans is moderate.

Wanting to read the names off the plaque at a mass grave would be, perhaps, extreme.

Many thanks to @karinejean-pierre.bsky.social for writing the book that I thought needed to be written. As a lifetime independent who leans Democratic, I was appalled by the treatment of President Biden in the summer of 2024. Also, great shout out to @aoc.bsky.social in the book.

Half of the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm but the harm does not interest them. -T.S. Eliot, poet (26 Sep 1888-1965)

Great quote, But I think the number is higher than 50 percent.

Why Are Federal Agents Wearing Masks? It’s a Threat to American Democracy Masked Federal Agents Are Undermining Trustβ€”and Democracy

If you need a mask to enforce the law, you don’t deserve a badge.
Federal agents are snatching people off the streetsβ€”faces covered, names hidden.
This isn’t safety. It’s secrecy.
It’s not America.

Jake Tapper's book is nothing more than the corporate media trying to shift the blame for 2024 off themselves. Unsure how people can't see this.

Our rooftop power plant has been operational for one year and has produced a total of 9.6 MWh of electricity. According to the EPA, that's a 6.9 ton reduction in CO2 emissions, or the equivalent to planting 115 trees.

Medical Journals Get Letters From DOJ At least three journals received letters from a U.S. Attorney asking about 'competing viewpoints'

"When a US Attorney wields the power of his office to target medical journals bc of their content & editorial processes, he isn't doing his job. He's abusing his authority to try to chill protected speech." #saveourscience This is such bullshit.

Please repeat over and over:

β€œBending to the whims of a bully will not end his cruelty. It will only embolden him. The response to authoritarianism isn’t acquiescence. Bullies respond to one thing, and one thing only: a punch in the face.”

β€”Gov. JB Pritzker

My support for individuals and organization for the next 45 months will be based on how well they stand up to trump. /2

I think it's great to see that some large universities are starting to stand up to trump. My mantra for the next 45 months is:

"Stand up to trump" /1

The 14th Amendment gives rights to legal due process (and equal protection of the laws) to "any person." Not to any citizen or even any legal resident. When that Amendment wanted to talk about only citizens it did, as in the immediate previous sentence. But here it talks about any person.

This ridiculous deflection is such a non sequitur.

Due process is what distinguishes us as a people from the monsters who do commit heinous crimes. If there’s no due process, we’re a society that can just lynch people on an accusation, with no need to get it right.

Ask yourself:

Why would anyone who wasn’t an asset of the Russian government do this?

Why would any decent human being do this?

Never forget this day, February 28, 2025, when an American president abused and betrayed a democratic ally in the midst of a barbaric war with Russia. This grotesque stain will never wash away.
