This is, unsurprisingly, excellent. Let's keep fighting and soon we can hopefully negate the need for David to write another one.

As maddening as Schumer is, he has the partial excuse of being a feebed-out fossil. This guy is in the prime of his life & decides every day to speak & act in the most cowardly ways possible. Continually provided opportunities to step up heroically, & he flinches every time. Just a bone-deep loser.
Asked if he's willing to shut down the government over ICE funding, Senator Cory Booker replies: "We had the longest government shutdown, and Democrats could not hold together to sustain that kind of pressure."

Idk if any other @americanoutlaws.bsky.social members are having similar issues, but just to TRY to get into the drawing for member group WC tickets on Fifa's website, has been an utter nightmare of Byzantine link spirals, denial of access, repeating emptying of account fields, frozen pages, etc.

The issue with ICE is not training, the issue with ICE is that it fundamentally should not exist. The violence is the purpose

A Portland police officer has been reassigned after he was captured on film Friday appearing to agree with the tactics used by federal officers when they fatally shot a Minnesota woman last week.
Portland police officer reassigned after comments on Minneapolis shooting, chief says
While the unidentified officer did not say if he’d seen the video of Renee Nicole Good’s killing, he said he would have shot “if she drove a car at me, yes.” City officials have condemned his statements.

There is no attitude for which legacy journalists are more often rewarded by their bosses than "Everybody needs to calm down." It is a preening announcement that you are the adult in the room, immune from emotion or overreaction or "hysteria." And it is the worst imaginable priority for this era. >
