Balint to Noem: "You're the secretary of DHS -- for now. And you think you're immune from accountability. But I promise you this: one day he is not gonna be president anymore. And when that day comes, we will still be here. And in hearings like this, we are going to continue to prove your guilt."
Le sigh.
Welp, I miss OG twitter, my brain is atrophying on Threads…guess my stream of consciousness is just going to go here now. Ughhhhhhhh
Rep. Raskin: "Releasing the names of a lot of victims is either spectacular incompetence and sloppiness on [DOJ's] part or, as a lot of the survivors believe, a deliberate threat to other survivors who are thinking about coming forward."
I don’t understand either.

This would be tragic, and is not something that can be "undone" once Trump is finally gone.
"I voted for lawless, anonymous, masked, and unchecked police" is one hell of a jump from "eggs cost too much."
Blocking Nazis, trolls, and fascists doesn’t make it an “echo chamber.” People need to stop gaslighting us into thinking we have to listen to Nazis and debate trolls in order to be informed.
Wrote another new substack about #PTG (yeah, I never heard about it either!) and how it’s the kryptonite of #PTSD.

Yes. If DHS can barge in, say your visa was revoked, be told you have a green card, say it's revoked too, and then disappear you so that neither your lawyer nor your family can find you, then all the guardrails are gone. There is no policy, practice, or law protecting anyone.

ActBlue is a payment processor. Almost anyone who’s given to a D candidate in the last 20 years could be mischaracterized as a “ActBlue funder.”
Listing five Jews, two of whom are long dead, as “ActBlue funders” secretly behind the Tesla protests is antisemitism.
