Democracy dies of heatstroke.
What a tool Bezos is--imagining having that kind of money and still being afraid of Dear Leader.

Personally I think this is too much money for Donald trumps untrained heavily armed militia
Yeah, the thing is, Weiss had complete editorial control over the Free Press for years and if you read it you would not understand the threat to American society that Trump poses. I don't care what she says privately to her friends. She got the CBS job because of this acquiescence to Trump.
One point I’ve been banging on about in interviews the last few weeks is that the mere threat of the use of force by the U.S. President is illegal both under Article 2(4) of the UN Charter but also the U.S. Constitution by virtue of the Take Care Clause.
Yet another example of the idiocy of the Supreme Court’s immunity opinion: If Trump invades Greenland, even for the most insane reason (like not winning the Nobel Peace Prize) and against our obvious national interest, it’s an “official act” that can never be held legally accountable
I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

‘Is it any wonder that William F. Buckley is still the patron saint of the American right? For more than half a century, he supplied a gloss of coherence and glamour to a movement sorely lacking in both.’

It goes without saying that in the US you’re not supposed to have a masked secret police that snatches people off the streets without knowing if they’ve committed a crime. That’s about as basic a requirement for a democracy as exists.
This is an "administrative warrant". It's not signed by a judge and is therefore unlawful. ICE agents carry stacks of these around in their cars and just fill them out on the fly.
Make sure everyone knows what this looks like, as they have already started going door-to-door in some neighborhoods.
This is today in Minnesota. A swarm of ICE thugs bashed in the door with guns aimed. Everyone has to watch and share. This is now Sunday in America.
once again: ICE is operating as if they have a general warrant, the specific type of warrant the founders were most concerned about when drafting the 4th Amendment
Now seems like a swell time to point out that Frontline just released this excellent 11-minute mini-documentary about what happened inside CECOT.
The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing.
All from his movies.
They’re killing people as a twitter joke. It’s depraved. Can’t let yourself lose the capacity to be appalled and disgusted and outraged by this.
i'd go even further and say there is a reason even nixon kept this kind of stuff to himself. you would have to go back quite a bit to find a point at which is acceptable for a president to say anything like this *in public*, to say nothing of in the oval office.
seriously, can anyone give me a reason why reporters refuse to express huge budget numbers, that they know are meaningless to their audience, in a context that makes them understandable -- such as a percentage of the budget? I NEVER get an answer to this question.

We see something similar in the UK.
Most benefits go to people IN WORK.
Because there are not enough properly paid jobs.
Rather than insisting employers pay decent wages, governments use taxpayers’ money to subsidise employers who don’t.
Welfare was not meant to support employers.
This is wrong
For Tolkien fans, a timely passage for No Kings Eve, from WH Auden’s review of Lord of the Rings.
The White House and DHS seem to be claiming any undocumented Latin American guy arrested by ICE in DC has "suspected gang ties" without any evidence for the accusation. That's not new for them, but it's strikingly racist, slanderous shit from the US government. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...
Kamala Harris warned you and they called her a liar.
Trump’s gutting of USAID will kill 15m of the poorest people in the world. He has turned the military on his own people, thrown innocent people into foreign gulags, fan boys Putin and supports Bibi’s inhumane assault on Gaza. Few recent world leaders have deserved the Nobel Peace Prize less.
[extremely on-mushrooms voice] hear me out. what if we destroy capitalism by feminizing having money
This is some insane Soviet bullshit. The idea that any American news organization would agree to something like this is unconscionable. I don't know how any self-respecting journalist could work for an outlet that's doing this.
