Reminder that this is intended. Literally. The person in charge of implementing POTUS agenda, Russell Vought, said one of his stated goals is to traumatize federal employees.

F*ck qualified immunity! It's Un-American & needs to go! Slavery used to be legal too, although incredibly immoral. SCOTUS is compromised with cruel, bigoted & anti-Democratic judges. May Light win against their darkness. May True Justice prevail. We cannot let these things stand.

"Do not obey in advance" is such an important message. I would like to add, "Don't ever f*cking obey."

Speaking as a Jew living in Diaspora, who needs to exist as a minority at a time of rising antisemitism, I would really appreciate it if the Prime Minister of a country where I do not live would not say that attacks on a sovereign country are analogous to attacks on a synagogue.

I agree with this and it's something for which community groups should already be developing concrete plans. I think reparations are already due.

Increasingly of the opinion that the correct answer to the Trolley Problem is "fuck you, why are you so fixated on finding reasons to justify killing people?"

I spent the last week writing up this essay on what it means to be trans in this moment. What it means to live under authoritarianism as the scapegoated minority of the moment and how it feels inescapable as an infinite loop. www.thedissident.news/exit-conditi...

Happy Gotcha Day to Katniss who has been at home (and sometimes on the road) with us for six years.

A thing I really loathe about narcissists is their uncanny knack for managing to let the consequences of so many of their bad decisions fall on others. This week since we started a war in the Gulf - or maybe it's been a month now - is such a great example and I'm struggling.

Over at the newsletter I wrote about how establishment Democrats' problem isn't going "too far left" on "identity politics," it's being feckless invertebrates in the face of autocracy and unchecked corporate power.

Being immediately blocked proves I was correct, I think. This post was in reference to the happy Indonesian children who keep a whale company now after pulling a whaling hook from it's mouth. Modern day Androcles. It's being shared by good hearted people. The only love I have to give is tough love.

Bombed the school twice, it appears: bsky.app/profile/alex...

Let me be clear: I’m glad Kristi Noem was fired. But we still have to abolish ICE.

I don't get the celebrating about Noem. She's still going to be on the government payroll with, I presume, more opportunities to rob us blind in a hemisphere wide war on drugs. No accountability in the Federal government as per usual.

Nothing say merit hire than making up a new job title, putting someone in it without going through an interview process and then they get to make up their own job description. Don't talk to me about how you want "merit hiring" ever again.

I'm sorry because everything is terrible. We long for uplifting stories. This whale looks dead to me. The only movement of the whale seems to be caused by the movement of water. Truth is under attack. There is a war on it, too, as well as on the planet. We have work to do. Fairy tales don't help.

We have so much work to do after this regime is vanquished. In addition to Constitutional reforms, we are going to have to de-Nazify the country.

We have a zombie government. While the Tangerine Tyrant & his Junk Drawer loot the Treasury, most Departments are shambling remnants of their former selves. It's why migrants with toothaches die of sepsis in "care" of DHS & how US citizens are stranded in a war zone. www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

"In fact, the U.S. government is on the moral level of the Sandy Hook school shooter, a fact that even president Trump’s critics may have a hard time fully accepting."

The back story for the ship our Secretary of War Crimes was celebrating sinking.

Proudly part of the Jewish conspiracy to promote love and acceptance.

If Trump really wants to destroy Iran he should go be its president for a few months.

As I frequently remind loved ones contemplating a risky move or mad about someone else's behaviors: control is an illusion. A comforting one, admittedly, but an illusion nonetheless. The only thing you can control in this world is your own behavior.

There are 5 Democrats other than Mills and Platner running in the primary. Maybe people need to stop looking at the latest shiny object and consider all of the options mainemorningstar.com/race-details...

Please keep writing about Nurul Amin Shah Alam. They killed this man. It's a system wide problem that resulted in his death. Every step of the way it was a travesty of justice. This is how immigration law intersects with criminal law. ICE and CBP. Read this and ask why do we fund this? Why?

Documents released by the DOJ revealed Brende had met the convicted sex offender for three business dinners and also communicated with Epstein over email and text messages.

Another day, another white Christian nationalist post from an official government account. Note flag being used is pre-1959.

solidarity with all marginalized people in Kansas. you are not alone. together we are going to build the better world we all deserve.

I urged Speaker Pelosi to do this when she took the gavel in 2019. Presidents have to be invited to the House. This guy is an emotional vampire; don't invite him in!

That this whole thing started with some fuckwit "reporter" over at the Nazi bar creepily trying and failing to get into day cares with cameras is just so stupid and infuriating. After criticism for shooting people down in the streets they're moving on to social murder.

Very interesting that Amy Grant released this song as her first one in 10 years. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAl0... - it's a protest song that insists on subtlety. It's very very interesting coming from her since she made her name in Christian pop.

This is heartbreaking. I remember how happy our grandson was when he called to tell us he got his ID that is in line with who he is. I'm terrified this will be replicated in other states. WTF is wrong with Kansas?!!

This is the time of monsters.

This is as infuriating as in 2019 when, after winning the mid-terms, Speaker Pelosi issued the invite to President Trump to come on down to the House. Like vampires to a house, Presidents have to be invited to enter the House. The ridiculous clinging to norms & civility continues even now. Pathetic.

Maybe as many as 40 (but likely not that many) Democrats will skip the State of the Union. The regime is herding people, including small children, into concentration camps & shooting us in the streets dogs. It should be all of them! Thank you @merkley.senate.gov !

Of all Presidementia's prior State-of-the-Unions I've not watched in the past, tonight's State-of-the-Union is the State-of-the-Union I'm not watching the most. 🍊🚫

Things to do tomorrow night while not watching the State of the Union address: - Alphabetize your spice rack - Teach your dog to filibuster. - Try explaining crypto to a houseplant. - Text an ex “we need to talk” - Watch paint dry.

A look at the various shenanigans ICE uses to try to deprive folks of due process and trick or intimidate them into "self-deportatuon." The man had lived here so long he considered himself American so those Mass Deportation Now signs must have meant someone else.

A Helpful explainer about our wildly misunderstood immigration laws from @sawyerhackett.bsky.social

Reading people. Body language. Knowing how to connect with people totally unlike you and with different backgrounds and beliefs. Defusing tense situations. Gaining trust. High endurance, pain tolerance, and work ethic. Reaction time. Prioritizing order of execution. Anticipating people’s needs. Tons

We are a huge danger to European democracies.

Injustice Brett "Beer Goggles" Kavanaugh's amazing legal theory that since the thief has spent the money there's no point in enforcing laws against larceny in his particular case.

Okay.
