NEW: Footage of a US citizen in Chicago being rammed then dragged from her car on her way to work. Abducted, with no warrant, her family couldn’t find her for hours. She was later released with NO CHARGE. A DHS statement said she “violently resisted arrest, injuring two officers”. You decide…

always an immense honor to talk with @judgeluttig.bsky.social about what it means for judges to stand up to monarchic power, and then to Rick Woldenberg of Learning Resources who brought the tariffs case to SCOTUS for . . . precisely the same reason. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

We've all read the stories: - a beloved fifth-grade teacher, - a street vendor who's been selling ice cream in the same spot for 20 years, - a grandfather who's a pillar of the community having owned a popular restaurant for decades, - an elderly woman taking her grandchildren to school, 1/

If given the chance, I'd lose my legs all over again to serve in our great military. The leader of your party is a five-time draft dodger who has fired more Veterans than any other president in our history. Square that circle then tell me who really hates our military.

Here are all the propaganda accounts you can block into the abyss JD Vance’s account lives in.

Dear Norwegian Nobel Committee, Please don't. No, really. We're not kidding. We beg you. Please don't. Sincerely, The Peace-Loving People of Earth.

In 1935 the Wehrmacht was forced to take the Führer oath, pledging absolute fealty to Adolf Hitler. A few months later it was a law for civilians as well. I've been joking for years that a new version would be inevitable: 1/

Now in gif form you’re welcome

Marshall calls Vought a degenerate criminal for his threats to maul the people’s government, and he’s right — but the truth is even more galling. Assent to our crimes against the Constitution, Vought now demands — or else he will commit further such crimes. He _revels_ in flouting his oath.

ICYMI: The mind-boggling list of hundreds of #bannedbooks in Tennessee now includes Calvin and Hobbes by cartoonist Bill Watterson, They Called Us Enemy by @georgetakei.bsky.social, and The Complete Book of Cats by Rosie Pilbeam. More at: pen.org/magic-tree-h... #Caturday #Censorship

How profoundly sad. The kids deprived of reading Calvin and Hobbes are the kids who need them the most. My brother put it best: "We know we’re fucked when they come for your cartoon stuffed tigers." Let's go sit in the grass and crack open "The Days are Just Packed." pen.org/magic-tree-h...

KTLA - Narciso Barranco, a father to three sons who are all US Marines, pepper-sprayed and punched in the face by alleged federal immigration officers while he was working as a landscaper at an IHOP. He was then forced into the back of an unmarked car in Santa Ana.

I spoke out on the House floor on behalf of my constituents, Gladys and Nelson Gonzalez, who were senselessly deported despite raising a family in this country for 35 years. If someone pays taxes, has no criminal background & is not a public safety threat, why are they a priority for deportation?

It turns out that Tom Friedman's a big fan of Waymo robotaxis. Remarkably, the solo conversations he has in these vehicles exactly echo his own opinions, just like with human drivers.

Mario Vargas Llosa, the Peruvian Spanish Nobel Prize-winning author whose work focused on the evils of totalitarianism, has died at age 89, according to his family. cnn.it/43R9Mw7

Olena Kohut, band player of Sumy National Theater, was killed by the Russian missile today. Deepest condolences to everyone who loved Olena.

There are currently 16 separate articles on the online NYT front page with the word "Trump" in the headline. Even Carl Jung would be stumped at this recurring nightmare.

My older sister contracted polio in the early 1950's. The virus left her with permanent brain damage that caused her much suffering in her lifetime. I came along after the Salk vaccine and was spared, along with millions of other children and adults. I can't believe this is an issue in 2024.

One of the driving forces of Donald Trump is contempt -- for the country, the Constitution, for decency itself. The abject unfitness of his staff picks reek of it. Awed by his own magnificence, he knows he can shit on the country in public and still be the greatest president who ever lived.

My WaPo subscription finally ended. I'm sorry to stiff the reporters at the paper but I'm so glad that money is now going to the people who publish stories like this. www.propublica.org/article/pors...
