This is why Trump's National Security Strategy is a fantasy.

ICE/HSI is out of control in Tucson this morning. Raids down Grande near Barrio Hollywood. Dozens of community members showed out to support. Masked agents with blacked out plates deployed smokes and shoved and pepper-sprayed Rep. Adelita Grijalva and her staff after they ID’d themselves.

Indiana state house Republicans just approved a new 9-0 gerrymandered map ousting two US House Democrats, giving Republicans 100% of seats in state where Trump got 58% of vote

First journo/media type I’ve seen refer to “alleged drug boat”.

An important distinction.

The people telling us there were drugs on that boat are telling us a whole bunch of stuff that just ain’t true.
Pete Hegseth is having one of the worst weeks a Cabinet secretary has had in recent American history. It’s very richly deserved. He’s a bombastic idiot. He’s a liar. And he’s a weasel: Under fire for a second military strike on an alleged drug boat, which killed two survivors of the first strike …

No one ruthless enough to parlay 3am-college-paper-on-speed writing into national gigs & affairs with powerful men is this unprepared for a fairly soft interview. This is a shitty performance by someone trying to save her book's narrative - 'Young Woman Swept Up in the Current.'

Thank you for this. In "Book and Dagger," now in paperback, historian Elyse Grahm writes the largely untold but riveting story of how scholars, librarians, and "oddball archivists" were mobilized to defeat fascism in WWII: "The war may have been fought on battlefields, but it was won in libraries."

I don’t know how much y’all have been following the Indiana gerrymandering battle, but it has everything.

Republicans standing up for election integrity (?!?). Trump threats. Swatting. The Gov calling a 9-0 election map “fair”, and a senator who was affected by a Trump slur.

Off we go (1/7)

If it is the stance of this administration that drugs are weapons in armed conflict … shouldn’t my right to bear those arms not be infringed?

The OU incident is right wing grievance grifter theater, everyone.
And the number of academics - including *law professors* - who can't see that is embarrassing.

Some valuable local reporting with national implications
🧵 Every year since Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest event in Phoenix began, there has been an afterparty hosted by the Republicans for National Renewal fascists which brings together more of the extreme right that hangs around AmFest and multiple local elected officials. This year is no different…

Yes, books (HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT in article has chapters on him), countless interviews, and a bunch of free articles; look for Kushner stuff in the Q & As sarahkendzior.substack.com

As I've been saying since 2016, Kushner was always the litmus test of whether this is an entrenched mafia state.

One hard part of the literacy problem in the United States is there are a lot of people -- some of them with college degrees and beyond -- who don't realize that they are bad at reading

I don't know how to reach those people
