Guys they are really, really not winning
It sucks what they’re doing to our country, and my city especially
God only knows how much damage they’ll do before they’re stopped, much of it irreversible
But they are very much not winning
The testing ground for Bovino’s Operation At Large was Los Angeles. A California judge initially prohibited ICE/CBP’s most flagrant constitutional violations. SCOTUS overruled her 6–3, handing Bovino a blank check to inflict unspeakable brutality on Chicago and Minneapolis. The 6 bear so much blame.
Joe Rogan calling ICE the gestapo is probably a sign of what other morons are starting to figure out. It only took a guy shooting a woman in the face on video and calling her a fucking bitch
On the patently unlawful boat strikes
It's hard for USGs to claim ‘mistake of law’ or ‘advice of counsel’ – when they’re firing lawyers who wouldn't sign off on the strikes.
WaPo's new revelations on firings or removals:
1) CIA General Counsel
2) NSC Legal Adviser
3) CIA Mission Center’s lawyer

My hometown absolutely floored me this past week. FLOORED.
For safety reasons, I haven’t said much about it. But I’m so damn proud of my family and friends. So proud.
Is it a threat to free speech when the President of the United States threatens to yank the broadcast license of a channel whose reporters are asking him challenging questions?
I ask because I feel like there used to be tons of pundits worried about free speech. Where'd they go?
"Pam Bondi doesn't think she's in an oversight hearing. She believes that she' the personal lawyer to the president."
And that's OK with all the GOP senators—who overlook not oversee—as well elite media & culture in general.
It's MASS public opinion, MASS MOBILIZED that will save us. #NoKings
France (and eventually Citibank) *getting* reparations from Haiti for losing their slaves is one of the biggest atrocities of the modern era, and...stiff competition there
What a perfect formulation:
“This is, in many ways, the dynamic that defines reactionary centrism: the right must be understood, but never blamed. The left can be blamed, but need not be understood.” www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/politics/709...
We are now in the domain of not just illegal impoundments, but targeted illegal impoundments to punish liberal spaces. Not different from what Trump is doing to to universities.
"some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily execute civilians" says today's New York Times, continuing their long tradition of whitewashing fascism

Trump Says He Will Get Drug Prices Down By 500% To 1500% ByBruce Y. Lee, Senior Contributor. Bruce Y. Lee,
Our mistake when we wrote _Calling Bullshit_ was to assume that people would deliberately abuse the flexibility of quantitative metrics to mislead.
We devoted inadequate attention to people making up complete and utter nonsense with no possible grounding in fact.
Republicans are honoring Charlie Kirk’s memory by declaring war on the First AmendmentThe guardians of ‘free speech’ sure had a change of heart.
We cannot make the headlines blunter people www.theverge.com/policy/77979...
No FBI director has ever behaved like this.
“None of us should celebrate political violence, because it’s a threat to all of us,” says Mehdi Hasan following the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
We’re frogs in the pot about this, I think. We’re so hardened to eliminationist, fascist rhetoric from the right that it hardly makes a dent when a prominent host on a major network suggests exterminating a large group of people. But he did. And nobody on modern Right gives a shit.
“I say I’m a pacifist because I am a violent son of a bitch.”
I think about this Stanley Hauerwas quote a lot. I'm not a pacifist because I hate violence. I'm a pacifist because I can feel what a stranglehold violence has on me, and I need to fight against it with everything in me
Have you read this analysis? I can't imagine many in the media, mainstream or otherwise, are prepared to deal with extremely online violent meme culture. www.garbageday.email/p/charlie-ki...
The 3 stages of grief: denial, anger, ballroom
I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve slipped up and suggested someone was an FBI informant who was actually simply opposed to some wanton criminality that he was also weirdly pretty obviously involved in. Honest mistake! 😭
Exactly. Conservative attacked critical race theorists not because said theorists were wrong but because their scholarship showed exactly how racist and classist the Court has tended.
