The No Kings protests on Saturday need to be so big that they overwhelm the machinery of the state, as Gandhi would have advised. So don’t sit it out.

I live in Maine, and I haven't met Graham yet, but we share a number of folks in common. I hear he's really the real deal, and I agree with this assessment. Folks are truly pumped about him. No one I know is pumped about Janet. She has been an ok governor, but that's it.

Not that anybody comes to me for Maine politics, but the fact that the Democrats successfully convinced a 77yo Governor to primary the 41yo progressive, is today's example of why the Democrats fucking stay failing.

Susan Collins is 72 and if Schumer gets his way, she'll be the YOUNGER choice!

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Los Angeles County is home to over 3 million immigrants, according to supervisors, who said the ICE raids have "caused widespread fear" and led to "decreased attendance at workplaces, disruption of local economies, and strain on critical services such as schools, hospitals, and places of worship."

If this story is true (guess whether I am putting my money on whether DHS or she is lying), DHS illegally assaulted and arrested this woman, then dragged her through social media hell with all sorts of lies and mockery. I hope her attorneys are relentless.
