lawlessness is the signature feature of the trump regime. the supreme court is useless as a brake and it will only get worse in the coming year(s) unless congress stops acquiescing in it.

Lots of clever and cynical things to say (woke strikes back, the power grab wasn’t enough?, etc.) but the fact is that feelings like pride, shame, and insult are powerful motivators in our politics - and a salient factor in moving people off the fence. Progressive would be wise to learn from this.
Indiana Republican Sen. Mike Bohacek, who has a daughter with Down syndrome, says he’ll vote No on redistricting following Trump’s “retarded” slur at Gov. Walz.

Per The Atlantic, An Indiana Republican isn’t running for re-election because “I’d rather my house not get firebombed” - because Trump is mad he opposed his seat-stealing redistricting plan there. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Look forward to Bari Weiss asking "has identity politics gone too far?" while studiously ignoring the most virulent identity politics driving American government
A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing.
And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

This is absolutely the way: with sleeping outside banned in more than 200 U.S. cities, lots of places are focused on moving people from encampment to long-term housing with appropriate services – as opposed to going to large shelters or just moving to another sidewalk. Hopeful.

Homeless Sweeps Can Be More Humane, Experts Say. It Isn’t Easy
Some localities are addressing street homelessness with a new approach, which experts say can clear encampments while protecting the health of people who are forced to move.

This whole thing is racist, but take particular note of the threat of denaturalization. That's stripping people of their citizenship, and that's the road to mass murder and atrocity.
Trump: “I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries … denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and deport any Foreign National who is a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization.“
