“What are you gonna do with this can you keep kicking down the road and the can is whether or not Black people can live in America not doing spectacular feats, not being Michael Jordan but because they’re human beings, because they were born, because they’re in this world.”

The crisis isn’t refugees. It’s not that one person committed one tragic crime and killed one other person. The crisis isn’t that America’s 250-year old history of hosting immigrants turned out to be a mistake.
The crisis is that STEPHEN MILLER, a hateful little maggot, controls the government.

Six political realities we're going to need to accept if we're going to keep America from becoming a totalitarian nightmare.
1) The way we did things before Trump were not working. If they were, Trump wouldn't have been able to happen. Trump is a symptom, not the cause, of today's horror show.

This is exactly the problem. The GOP, as craven and pathetic as it has become under the leadership of a criminal and now apparently demented and frail con artist, is at least disciplined enough to stay on it's authoritarian message.
The Democrats have neither discipline nor a message.

This is actually good spin, or would have been. But the fact that the Democratic cave happened without even a coordinated, agreed-upon message like this indicates the depth of the leadership void.

The US population of international students has defied predictions of a huge downturn. Data for the current academic year show that the number of overseas students — including PhD candidates and newly minted PhDs — has remained essentially flat, year-on-year.

International PhD student numbers in US hold steady — for now
Trend flies in face of Trump-administration policies, but could yet see a rapid decrease, especially in science fields.

The German Parliament's AfD lawmakers asked hundreds of detailed questions about Germany’s military and cyber systems.
Officials now suspect these were meant to expose weaknesses — one warned they looked like “a task list from the Kremlin.”

Thanks to the corporate raid that saddled MSNOW with a fuckton of debt, we can expect MSNOW to last about a year.
The only way to prevent that is to drive their viewership way up.

From Bovino's deposition: (1) he calls protestors "violent" if they articulate views hostile to ICE, even if no violence is manifested; (2) he instructs his forces to attack and arrest protestors who express "hyperbolic comments," which is to say, criticism of ICE and Bovino.

This is a classic form of voter intimidation—making people feel like it’s not safe to go to the polls. It moments like this where we need to summon our courage & vote anyhow. Vote in the tradition of the people who marched in Selma to secure the right to vote.
Breaking from NJ AG Platkin:
"Early this morning, law enforcement responded to threats that were received by email involving certain polling places in Bergen, Essex, Mercer, Middlesex, Monmouth, Ocean, and Passaic Counties. Law enforcement … have worked swiftly to secure these polling locations."
