In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child.

She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck.

This is not about immigration enforcement.

It's about terrorizing Americans.

"Honestly, in my ten years working at MSNBC, I don't think I've had an experience like the one that I had in that moment where, as she watched, the security guys with us were crying, the camera guy was crying" as this young woman watched footage of her mother having just been grabbed by ICE.

"She said to me after that - Samantha, 21 years old - all my life I've prepared for this moment. All my life, my mom, 53 years old, who was just going to get meat for a stew, has told me one day this could come."

NEW: Remembering Diane Keaton. "The two greatest crime dramas of all time and two of the greatest romantic comedies of all time, in a single decade, all of which have Keaton at their center. That’s not a bad legacy, particularly when 45 more years were to follow."

The Godfather, The Godfather Part II, Annie Hall, Reds, Baby Boom, The First Wives Club, etc. etc. etc.

Diane Keaton's range was astonishing.

(Reds is perhaps my favorite of her performances)

Architecture and urban design are common fixations for strongmen. People keep posting Hitler’s Germania, but lots of more contemporary examples exist, like Orbán’s projects in Budapest.

This is (1) undermining and mocking the despicable claim that the anti-Trump protests are terroristic AND (2) quietly reclaiming frog symbolism from the alt-right. Our amphibian friends deserve better than the notoriety of perpetual Pepe.

A #BlueskyLullaby for tonight: Here's Jim Croce's 1972 song "Operator," recorded with his musical partner, the brilliant guitarist Maury Muehleisen. This is a 1971 demo version—not as polished as, and slightly different harmonies from, but very close to the later studio version. See you around.
