Understatement of the century
Democrats needing to message on affordability as the country endures a brutal authoritarian takeover is tragic. Take it from someone who lives in occupied Minneapolis. Our problems go deeper than prices.

Media studies people know better than I do, but it seems like it’s not just that these people focus on image, but that they genuinely think the image IS the thing. That jobs are ACTUALLY just dress up.

Being a cabinet secretary IS just playing one on TV, there’s no other part of the job.

Corollary to @faineg.bsky.social's discourse on "good tech needs no begging to adopt": when the humble web browser has become so encumbered by AI features that an article about using the command line to run GitHub scripts to shut them off is viral news amongst normies, it's a full repudiation of AI.

Smith: Again, and I think all of us, if we're reasonable, know that there's going to be more crimes committed by these people in the future. I do not understand why you would mass pardon people who assaulted police officers. I don't get it. I never will.

The call is coming from inside the house. The whole GOP has a problem. Top down. These people don’t have criminal records. The data doesn’t match what you all are saying.

Goldman: It’s shocking to me how much the media talked about Biden’s mental state and are not talking about Donald Trump. He can barely put a coherent sentence together. You have someone who is clearly not all there

What about when the VP shows up to the crime scene, defends the agency, and blames the victim’s? What then? Or we only get to focus on ICE as the problem?
AOC: An agency that is attacking U.S. citizens, kidnapping five-year-olds and using them as bait, and privately circulating the idea that they can violate the rights of Americans by busting down their doors—they deserve to be defunded, and I’ll take any step in that direction.

Nasra Ahmed, a 23-year-old US citizen, was arrested and detained by ICE. She was held for TWO DAYS.

ICE agents handcuffed her, called her a racial slur, and she was knocked to the ground so hard she got a concussion.

This cannot continue happening. ICE needs to leave.

People who say the right have no bottom. But their actions don’t match that. Can be quiet. And permanently, near me.

Just so everyone knows what the other side is seeing and feeing about these events. They truly believe we are all insane and out to get Americans. Even if we are American.

The Polish government is attacking and defaming a German-Polish Holocaust historian for daring to publish a book documenting the fact that some Polish mayors collaborated with the occupiers during the German occupation of Poland in WWII.

I’m genuinely curious: What would ICE need to do for these Democrats to not vote for its unprecedented 300% budget increase? Also interesting: will Ezra Klein say anything publicly after celebrating several of these people despite their authoritarian records?
