in exchange for asking them nicely to try and not wear masks anymore, the democrats agree to fund ICE while they build concentration camps.

"shut the entire government down" is not a radical position. it is the bare minimum.
BIG news from @bloomberg.com, which confirms that ICE has gone ahead and *purchased* multiple commercial warehouses with the aim of converting them into mass detention camps.

This is likely to be the big detention story of 2026 — literal warehousing of people.

I may have a stroke.

Someone said protests don’t belong in church and it took every ounce of self-censure within me not to say “Deborah you are literally a Protestant.”

Look.

He has received the message that our Congress & Supreme Court and military and every police department in the land has sent him loud and clear.

That he can do whatever he wants.

You kinda gotta admire a guy's restraint in a situation like that to only take ten billion above the table.
President Trump has filed a lawsuit against the IRS, in which he demands that the IRS, which he as president controls, pay him $10 billion.

People hate when I say it is okay to do good things undemocratically but that is how we do all the other things.
Flouting Norms is the norm. Politicians should try doing so on behalf of The People. It would be successful & well met.

We do not have No Healthcare in USA because people were out here Respecting Norms. We have No Healthcare because there was a dollar to be made by having it be that way.

Before the genocide, Israel had directly killed in this century almost 3000 Palestinian children.

During the genocide it has directly killed around 30 000 children in Gaza and 230 in East Jerusalem and West Bank.

They could have lived to be 96 also.

But "Never Again!" became "Again!"

“Independent” is doing too much work in this first wave. They are arresting journalists and just like everything else they’ve done, they’re testing the limits of our resistance by starting wt vulnerable margins.

When independent journalists get into peril for doing their jobs, we can point to that very first time "fake news" was uttered and say "Oh, that's how seemingly trivial terms evolve into dangerous concepts."

That's why we need to memorialize and document, so we don't forget the horrors.

SCHUMER says Democrats are “united” behind three DHS reforms

1/ End roving patrols; tighten the rules on warrants and require ICE to coordinate with local authorities.

2/ Enforce accountability; a uniform code of conduct.

3/ Require masks off, body cameras on, agents carry ID.
