Sens. Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock are asking Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem for answers after more than a dozen people died in immigration detention, as the department rushes to expand.

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — UN chief warns world leaders that humanity has entered 'an age of reckless disruption and relentless human suffering.'

6. More than that, however, it’s a window into what Trump truly wants – rules and laws that protect him and his friends while at the same time, those very same rules and laws punish his enemies.

7. He wants rules and laws to *explicitly* recognize in-groups and out-groups. And he wants law enforcement to recognize that difference when enforcing the law. All men are created equal? Nope. Justice is blind? Nah.

8. Most of us believe the law should be applied without fear or favor. Whether you’re white or Black, Christian or Muslim, straight or trans – everyone is subject to the same rule of law. Everyone should be treated equally. And when the law isn’t applied that way, we call it injustice.

9. But I think most of us misunderstand, more or less, how equality is viewed by Trump and the rest of their maga movement. Equality is no virtue. It’s a vice.

10. It is a violation of their rights and liberties, and a subversion of what they believe to be the natural order of things – in which American society is shaped like a pyramid, with money and power gathered toward the top and controlled by rich white men.

11. Importantly, the in-group should never be treated the same way as the out-group. When the law is applied equally, they call *that* injustice.

12. All this is blindingly hypocritical (and we should say so) but the term “hypocrisy” can’t capture the enormity of the fraud. Maga does not pay lip service to equality. It opposes it, often openly.

13. A better term is *impunity* – for the rule of law & for the rest of the small-r republican values enshrined in the Constitution. Impunity is the true goal. Trump’s success, whatever that means, depends on everyone else obeying the law, under penalty of law, while he is free to break it.

I think of all the immigrant families torn apart, and dedicated public servants that lost their jobs, and the scientific advances that have been stopped. None of that extreme loss would’ve happened under her leadership.

If Tylenol had coughed up a flying palace we'd be talking about Motrin right now.

"The president is gambling that he can consolidate authority before the public turns too sharply against him." The declining popularity of Trump matters. What citizens feel and do matters. Apathy is what autocrats need; resistance is their terror. Gift link: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

📌Above all: SUPPORT THE ARTS.

“The Horst Wessel effect was a Nazi propaganda strategy to create a political myth and martyr to unify the Nazi movement. Joseph Goebbels' propaganda machine transformed Wessel's death into a cult of glorification. This propaganda was effective in rationalizing violence against opponents.”

The EPA is planning to roll back its finding that greenhouse gases endanger public health. This move doesn't just ignore scientific evidence; it races us headfirst toward a civilization-threatening climate catastrophe. The EPA must drop this deadly & unlawful action.

I guess Trump and RFK Jr weren’t happy with the studies that said sperm from older men significantly raises the risk of autism.

Some days I actually feel bad for how many Americans our country's largest scam artist actually conned into following him down through the gates of hell.

I told my Grandson that the Disney channel is gone. Told him why. He then proceeded to set up 20 bags of emergency Tasty Bites to use as bean bags for a game we made up and played for hours. He said it will be fine. He doesn’t know it but he is a Resister at 9 years old.

I don’t know whether I should laugh or cry, but this really pisses me off.

Donald Trump is way less popular than he wants you to believe. And you are significantly more powerful than he wants you to think.

The capacity for empathy is the essential characteristic of decent humans.

Who’s doing this book next for #bookclub? We could all use a refresher. 😳🤯😨 #booksky

The Washington Post Fired Karen Attiah, But They Only Elevated Her The Post fired Karen Attiah, its last Black opinion columnist, because she posted about America's history of coddling white violence. Well, she's got a few things to get off her chest. thelefthook.substack.com/p/the-washin...

Ask any US citizen, they will likely tell you that the US has the best health care system in the world. (They will also tell you that the US is #1 in everything.) Just picking a random website (worldpopulationreview), the US is ranked #16, and now getting MUCH worse.

Ossoff: "There are families in NE Georgia now who will not have local access to child birth services ... I mean, we are the wealthiest country in the world. We should be building new hospitals. We should be building new clinics."

When your own words betray you.

IT'S OFFICIAL: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York State, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and New York City have formed the Northeast Public Health Collaborative. The collaborative will issue their own vaccine recommendations and coordinate public health efforts.

This They aren't making mistakes These are not lies they expect *anyone* to believe These are lies intended to make you bend the knee They want you to say that the naked emperor is actually wearing clothes

I don't think pointing out the fascists' 'hypocrisy' is a good use of time. It's not hypocrisy, it's hierarchy. They actually do believe that they have the right and obligation to dominate you because they are superior to you. They are using their power not being hypocritical.
