Show up and show out. Keep asking Republicans about lawless ICE agents and Trump's plans for concentration-camp warehouses. Make them own the policies that they were so eager to impose and which have done (and continue to do) so much harm.
I'd seen the first segment of this before, but the part about the Holocaust documentary is new to me. Not surprising but still astounding.
It's not my book, Noreen! It's Ami's and Julia's. But I'm betting it's going to be fabulous.
So excited to read this.
Seriously? DM me details. I did not know.

I was in Italy taking the husband's 85yo grandmother to see her relatives in the village one last time when Bush invaded Iraq in 2003. I was horrified, ashamed, and absolutely willing to discuss the war. Your country starts a war for no reason, you should assume you'll be asked about your politics.
The federal government awarded contracts Sunday to renovate two warehouses, each designed to hold 1,500 people, into immigration detention and processing facilities in Maryland and Arizona, according to contract records. The Maryland facility is scheduled for completion by May.

It's simple really, it's because he faced no real accountability for his actions.
Soldiers in camo and black berets carry a coffin past Donald Trump and JD Vance, who are saluting. Trump is wearing a white baseball cap with gold letters that read "USA."
It could be that he doesn't want the wind or damp to muss his hair, but I honestly have the impression he sees this as his general's cap.
Working on my MS and just typed the phrase "...an expert on Vladimir Nabokov, who will be joining us again on this expedition."
Here's the latest on the US operations in Ecuador.

most everyone who's written about this from a philosophy of mind perspective has also argued a definition of consciousness alongside it. tech guys post things like this without having "done the reading" so to speak because they believe other fields are beneath them.

My stepmom made it! She sews beautiful quilts. I worry about wearing them out (because of Area Dog), but she says not to worry, as she is always making new ones...
He was in a Dischord band for a few years, but his sensibilities are way stranger than that. My sense from the outside was that it was hard on him to fit his creativity into a band identity, and hard on even bands that *wanted* to make it work. That kind of brilliance has its own gravitational pull.
The thing is that he starts out each night as a VERY SMALL DOG curled up in one corner at the foot of the bed.
A long-ago former boyfriend was nicknamed Moondog for his musical similarity to this Moondog.
An enormous black and white dog is hogging half a queen-sized bed, stretched out on his side atop a rumpled quilt.
Exhibit A in the lawsuit I have filed against Area Dog. Things you should know: 1) This is how we woke up today. 2) This bed is for two humans and one dog. 3) Area Dog is on MY side of the bed. 4) I am still in bed in this photo.
The Washington Post Breaking News Post Exclusive 27 minutes ago Justice Department targets Cuban officials, aims for indictments The effort to bring charges against Cuban officials coincides with President Donald Trump saying that his administration is eyeing Cuba as the next country whose government might be overthrown, following the capture of Venezuela's Nicolás Maduro in early January and the killing of Iran's supreme leader on Saturday.
A regime that values domestic and international violence above the rule of law is unsustainable.

I hope they fumigate that plane.
Bar graph showing responses to question "Would you support or oppose abolishing ICE?" from The Economist/You Gov from June 2025 and late Feb-early March 2026. Total support for abolishing rose 23 points, among Dems 30 points, among independents 23 points, among Republicans 14 points.
Public opinion is not fixed.
And it's the job of a campaign to move people.
It's almost 8pm here, and I am finally sitting down to write for the day. 🤪
