Accidentally telling the truth? π€
BREAKING:

Wow huge break for russia. so weird. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/12/u...
still thinking about this. I don't know how Leaky Pete's father raised him (though I can make some guesses) but I was taught growing up that to bully those weaker than you is the act of a coward.
Bouie's recent "everything is gender" short is good, but in particular I can't help but be struck by _what_ Pete's concept of masculinity looks like. "this isn't meant to be a fair fight, and it's not a fair fight. we're punching them while they're down, as we should." THAT'S "being manly" to you??
This has me rolling!! These days, we need something to make us smile or laugh!! π€£π€£π₯°π΅πΆ
When I think about American boots on the ground, I think about how Project 2025 calls for all public school kids to take the military entrance exam, but not the private school kids.

This is not something we can reform. It has to be abolished and everyone involved needs to be held accountable.
storage.courtlistener.com IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF WEST VIRGINIA CHARLESTON DIVISION ANDERSON JESUS URQUILLA-RAMOS, Petitioner, V. CIVIL ACTION NO. 2:26-cv-00066 DONALD J. TRUMP, et al., Respondents. MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER Antiseptic judicial rhetoric cannot do justice to what is happening. Across the interior of the United States, agents of the federal government-masked, anonymous, armed with military weapons, operating from unmarked vehicles, acting without warrants of any kind-are seizing persons for civil immigration violations and imprisoning them without any semblance of due process. The systematic character of this practice and its deliberate elimination of every structural feature that distinguishes constitutional authority from raw force place it beyond the reach of ordinary legal description. It is an assault on the constitutional order. It is what the Fourth Amendment was written to prevent. It is what the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment forbids.
Some of us still care about our 4th & 5th Amendment rights. Itβs a pity you donβt.

ICE agents are still out there this morning, photographing schools from unmarked vehicles and then quickly leaving after being confronted. Keep your heads up.
thank you. I fear you are correct. :-(

This entire thread.
let us reason-I mean you of the United States, whom I believe God designs to save from destruction, if you will hear. For I declare to you, whether you believe it or not, that there are some on the continent of America, who will never be able to repent. God will surely destroy them, to show you his disapprobation of the murders they and you have inflicted on us. I say, let us reason; had you not better take our body, while you have it in your power, and while we are yet ignorant and wretched, not knowing but a little, give us education, and teach us the pure religion of our Lord and Master, which is calculated to make the lion lay down in peace with the lamb, and which millions of you have beaten us nearly to death for trying to obtain since we have been among you, and thus at once, gain our affection while we are ignorant? Remember Americans, that we must and shall be free and enlightened as you are, will you wait until we shall, under God, obtain our liberty by the crushing arm of power? Will it not be dreadful for you? I speak Americans for your good. We must and shall be free I say, in spite of you. You may do your best to keep us in wretchedness and misery, to enrich you and your children, but God will deliver us from under you. And wo, wo, will be to you if we have to obtain our freedom by fighting. Throw away your fears and prejudices then, and enlighten us and treat us like men, and we will like you more than we do now hate you,* * You are not astonished at my saying we hate you, for if we are men we cannot but hate you, while you are treating us like dogs. and tell us now no more about colonization, for America is as much our country, as it is yours.--Treat us like men, and there is no danger but we will all live in peace and happiness together. For we are not like you, hard hearted, unmerciful, and unforgiving. What a happy country this will be, if the whites will listen. What nation under heaven, will be able to do any thing with us, unless God gives us uβ¦
I'll let David Walker, a 2nd hand clothes seller in Boston who grew up the son of an enslaved man in Wilmington, NC, have the last word. This is from Walker's blistering, 1829 abolitionist essay. "America is as much our country as it is yours." docsouth.unc.edu/nc/walker/wa...
One of the things that infuriates me about MAGA - and there are several such things - is their hijacking of the flag & the claim that they are the only βreal Americansβ.
