A bunch of us swore an oath. Desperately seeking truth about its meaning in the age of Tyranny. No due process makes all law enforcement potential kidnappers. Nothing I say here is a call to violence. When it’s time for that, I will be silent.

So it turns out an ice agent is much more likely to have an arrest record than an immigrant.

Please read this excellent, imperative piece by @gregggonsalves.bsky.social.
This is not the time to cede ground to the right-wing effort to destroy public health, and it won’t save anyone anyway.

We are truly on a bullet train back to the dark ages; prisoners to Kennedy’s bizarre whims.
He is contemptible.

On the one hand, free speech. On the other, politics is hard and commenting on another country’s is fraught with peril. Stating basic facts like, “Trump is both the biggest piece of shit and the greatest threat to peace” ain’t really commenting on other’s politics. So go on!
Almost daily someone wants to tell me that I should mind my own business and stay out of US "politics". So almost daily I have to remind them that Trumpism affects global economics, environment and peace. I'll do what every concerned global citizen should do. I'll express my opinion. Loudly.

Republicans who want payments made to HSAs, you need to provide data on the actuarial value of this approach.
High Deductible plans, with HSA deposits, are useless if the patient can't afford their deductible.
Which is the ultimate problem with no CSR, ACA plans.

When you are given the awesome power of a SCOTUS appointment, the responsibility is equally awesome. 6 justices have shit all over that responsibility and at best all 6 should die in prison.

Hegseth is very transparently blaming a Navy admiral for his own decision. Let this be a lesson for every other military officer: The Trump administration will issue unlawful orders, then blame you for following them.
