Let’s stop pretending. The issue before the Supreme Court right now is easy to understand: There are still many people on the far right who don’t see Black Americans as equals...they see them through the same filthy slur they whisper when the cameras are off. That's right...that word.

Trump: So, we are going to have a phenomenal ballroom. It's going to be one of the best anywhere in the world. There won't be anything like it, actually. It's four sides of beautiful glass.

This is a very good - if very lugubrious - read

Pithy, acutely observed and unstinting in showing how liberal democracies are being pushed aside by strongmen - and how ineffective, and divided are the politicians supposed to protect them

Los Angeles has just declared a state of emergency.

Not because of wildfires. Not because of riots. But because of an invasion by federal government troops.

We can see where this is going.

The plaque honoring the law enforcement officers who responded to the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, which was commissioned by Congress in 2022, remains in storage. Mike Johnson has refused to place it on the wall, as was intended. That "deed" speaks pretty loudly.

Parents of a Marine stationed at Camp Pendleton went to visit her and were arrested by ICE on the militarybase. The father who was a resident of Oceanside, California was then deported.

Neither of the parents have a criminal record, both have pending green card applications, and valid work permits

Some of the brightest former CIA, FBI, and NSA minds are about to deliver a blunt assessment of the threat we face. I’ve had Steven Cash (He was awarded the CIA’s Medal of Merit for his work on a sensitive project) @steadystatevets.bsky.social on my podcast...he’s the real deal. Stay tuned.

The Steady State @steadystatevets.bsky.social · 17h

Tomorrow, we release the Steady State’s assessment of American democracy—written by former national security officials using the same tools once used to evaluate authoritarian regimes abroad. The conclusion is clear: We are facing an existential threat of growing autocracy here in the US.
