"You ought to come back to us with some data" -- Dick Durbin dogwalks Peter Schweizer over his wild, evidence-free claims about a plague of Chinese "birth tourism"
This press conference gave me chills. And not the good kind.
It’s not the Save America Act, it’s the Stop Americans Voting Act.
QUESTION: What the hell does “no men in women’s sports” have to do with voting?
ANSWER: Absolutely nothing. Republicans are trying to force Dems into bad optics.
Mayor Brandon Johnson seeks ‘democracy zones’ outside polls to stop Trump interference. Some aldermen wonder whether this is just drawing unnecessary attention to Chicago. www.chicagotribune.com/2026/03/10/m...
"Everybody can describe it differently" but among the key terms are "mass deportation," "instiling terror" and "murder"
They're freaked politically, but don't buy BS spin that a new DHS Secretary will change things
Stephen Miller runs DHS with an iron fist. Mullin, like Noem, will do his bidding
BULLSHIT they are fcking scared of the midterms and this is just lip service
"oopsie daisy on those concentration camps. our bad, really"
Killing unarmed people is “overzealous.” Got it.
He allegedly said "he needed help transferring data from a thumb drive “to his personal computer so that he could ‘sanitize’ the data before using it at [the company.] ... [and] that he expected to receive a presidential pardon ... ." www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
Holy shit - this would be very, very bad:
"The databases, called “Numident” and the “Master Death File,” include records for more than 500 million living and dead Americans, including Social Security numbers, places and dates of birth, citizenship, race and ethnicity, and parents’ names."
The Left has to fundamentally explain to millions of people that the rank-n-file of the Republican party is being systematically staffed by literal neo-Nazis.
Way to stand firm @davidjbier.bsky.social.
You gave a fantastic answer on illegal orders as well.

Receipts:
KENNEDY: You said, 'Republicans think can troll their way to ethnic cleansing.' Did I read that correctly?
BIER: DHS tweeted for 100m deportations. That would be ethnic cleansing!
K: You don't think it's hyperbolic?
B: I think advocating 100m deportations is ethnic cleansing. Yes. Your time is up
New York’s attorney general is now investigating the death of a nearly-blind refugee soon after he was released from custody by Border Patrol, the Investigative Post reports.

A dispatch from the annals of Project 2025 authoritarianism: Universities are now being required to provide demographic data on all students who applied to their schools for the past 5 years so the feds can sniff out illegal affirmative action. Until last year, tho, keeping such data was not allowed
Even as a cynical scholar of rape culture, I'm shocked that this isn't the headline story on domestic politics everywhere right now. It's just an unfathomable abuse of power, in clear violation of the law.
4 days ago, NPR reported that the Trump administration is still withholding, in violation of the Epstein files statutes, 37 pages of documents that implicate him in the rape of a child. This should end his presidency. www.npr.org/2026/03/05/n...

This is an absolute abomination.
The comment process is a little kludgy, but the link below is a great guide. It took me under a half hour to respond to both (hideous) proposals.
If you've ever looked up at the night sky in wonder, do this.
At the eleventh hour, we gained an unlikely ally in our fight against the (now-closed to public comment) SpaceX proposal: Amazon Leo. This article from PCMag also notes the over 1200 comments you guys were all a part of submitting - "a staggering amount," they say.

The FCC just opened public comments on SpaceX's plan to launch a million satellites to do AI compute in space. Under the current proposal, an environmental review won't be required. Please consider submitting a public comment to oppose this damaging plan.

Chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said in a statement that since the beginning of the war in #Iran, “approximately 140 U.S. service members have been wounded over 10 days of sustained attacks.”

If you haven't figured out that DHS/ICE are the Gestapo yet, this is a pretty solid clue
The defense secretary has made clear that Pentagon managers are to encourage workers, including civilians, to volunteer to assist in the administration's immigration crackdown. www.wired.com/story/pete-h...
Buried bodies near a NM ranch? New evidence that Epstein may have been murdered? The bolstering of Trump's teen-sex accuser? The Epstein Files have gone wild, and there's one thing we can say for sure
Federal authorities are tied to a massive coverup
