There's been a lot of debate within the Democratic establishment about what rhetoric to use via ICE.

Well, an incumbent doesn't lose by 48 percentage points very often—and her vote on collaborating with ICE was the defining issue here.

As I said the other day: It’s only a war if it comes from the war region of France. Otherwise it’s just sparkling military conflict

Americans urged to leave Middle East, but many airports are closed and embassy staff is reduced The State Department ordered the mandatory departure of non-emergency personnel and family members in six countries after the U.S. Embassy in Saudi Arabia was struck by two Iranian drones.

It’s so American to be like you should return home via your bootstraps

It happened at a time of his choosing

“He said, ‘I hear you’re going to make a record. If there’s anything I can do to help you guys out, let me know’’’: They were alt-rock legends who had to follow up a classic debut – then R.E.M.’s Pete...

Not enough being said about how little preemptive work the Trump admin put into getting Americans evacuated from countries near Iran. Only telling people on a long list of nearby countries to leave yesterday "via commercial means" when it was already too late to fly out?

A tweet from Assistant Secretary for Consular Affairs Mora Namdar telling people in 14 countries to "Depart now via commercial means due to serious safety risks." The list includes Bahrain, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Kuwait, Lebanon, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and UAE.

A flight radar map showing much of the Middle East has shut its airspace, including most countries on State's list.

State's current directions for Americans stranded in Trump's illegal war of choice, compared to the current FlightRadar map.

Being a Normative Man seems 🔥 rn
Get up. Slather on beef tallow balm. Eat Man Cereal. Microbet. Nugenix w raw milk. Eat ungodly amount of liver. Listen to podcast. Bump American Badass in Cybertruck. Record podcast. Berate yourself for gooning. More liver. Watch Power Slap. Sleep. But w one eye open

I’m a broken record on this but Trump’s entire plan was clearly “kick them in the face, collect praise from Twitter, walk away.” From his perspective it’s always worked before. It seemingly never occurred to them that they may not be able to walk away.

This is a distressing story about Trump’s attempts to impede Thomas Massie’s efforts to release the Epstein files. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

There is a rich if contradictory history of anti-imperialist dissent in the United States, more eloquent than effective, but still worth knowing and learning from.

A Civil War battlefield driving tour map was also flagged for its inclusion of direct quotes about the cause of the war from secession documents and Alexander Stephens, vice president of the Confederacy. The quotes cite slavery as the cause

Quoting secessionists about why they seceded? Outrageous!

Being recognized more and more, I notice

Emily Dickinson’s poem reads… Flowers — Well — if anybody Can the ecstasy define — Half a transport — half a trouble — With which flowers humble men: Anybody find the fountain From which floods so contra flow — I will give him all the Daisies Which upon the hillside blow. Too much pathos in their faces For a simple breast like mine — Butterflies from St. Domingo Cruising round the purple line — Have a system of aesthetics — Far superior to mine.

✍️ Just some fabulous Emily Dickinson to enjoy, #almostspring 🌷
