Zero in on Stephen Miller as a supervillain Democrats should make Trump’s unlikable adviser the face of the GOP

"Will Democrats make the obnoxious and unlikable Stephen Miller a key target in their midterms messaging? Will they run against Miller’s extremism and in solidarity with the vital contributions of immigrants?"

Strongly agree with @markjacob.bsky.social here:

Column | We’re about to turn night into day. Is that a good idea? Proposals before the FCC involve mirrors that could bathe entire cities in sunlight and, from SpaceX, a million satellites to serve as data centers.

WTF?? Where's the outrage!

"In short: There is nothing left to protect the night."
How a million new satellites could turn night into day:

I am sure I will regret weighing in here but this piece also uses the profile structure to get at what some of what really matters: how movements stay together and fracture, what goes into organizing, online v offline, how activism sometimes calls for annoying earnestness, etc.

For those of you keeping score at home, the actual cut to the Post newsroom was 45%, not the widely reported one third. Remaining journalists are a bit over 400, down from around 1100 four years ago and 580 when Bezos bought the place.

My daughter’s name is Amalia. The only thing that separates her from this child is that our family immigrated in the 20th century, not the 21st.

Bad Bunny’s performance began in the plantation, featured broken electric poles, and ended by centering a hemispheric understanding of β€œAmΓ©rica”—among many other thingsβ€”and some Anglo journalists are like β€œhis performance wasn’t political.”

This is why we need to be telling our stories.

ICE to begin detaining immigrants inside Social Circle warehouse in April Homeland Security plans to build warehouse detention facilities in other cities being met with opposition.

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.

If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

30+ things The Washington Post did wrong and 19+ things they could do to fix it "@mackenziescott you have the opportunity to do an extremely funny (and genuinely heroic) thing right now."

"The Post newsroom became very accustomed to a billionaire patron giving them everything they wanted in perpetuity."

"Letting Ezra walk."

"My take today on Jeff Bezos since I met him at his struggling start up in the 1990s in Seattle: Twice the muscles, half the man"...

+ more ideas from you.
