DeSantis is about to extend his “state of emergency” over immigration for the 19th time.
This started in 2023.
It enables him to suspend all kinds of laws and regulations he doesn’t like—many of them on issues (like porta-pottys ) unrelated to immigration. ⤵️

In four days, we can flip a Tennessee district that Trump won by double-digits — if we turn enough voters out! Make some calls to help us elect @aftynbehn.bsky.social (a state representative, social worker, and former Indivisible organizer) to Congress: www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...

After being exposed as a homicidal criminal, Pete Hegseth lies up a storm. And this evening he'll probably seek solace in alcohol, as is his wont.

Putin is letting his soldiers HUNT Ukrainians in Kherson with drones — a genocidal human safari.
Meanwhile, Trump wants to give Russia control of Kherson, so that they can finish the job.

This is unhinged, unadulterated white nationalism that is so off-the-charts fascist not even David Duke would have said that in public.
Trump: “I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries … denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and deport any Foreign National who is a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization.“

Trump says he’ll pardon a former Honduras leader convicted of taking millions of dollars in bribes from drug traffickers. A U.S. prosecutor said Juan Orlando Hernández “paved a cocaine superhighway to the U.S.”

Let's put these 2 headlines from this afternoon together.
They “finish off” suspected cocaine traffickers hanging helplessly off boats in the open ocean.
But an _actual_ cocaine trafficker who just happens to be a conservative political elite gets a pardon.

To put a finer point on this whole thing: "Two people with direct knowledge of the operation" — presumably uniformed military leaders — are accusing the U.S. Secretary of Defense of personally ordering specific war crimes. That's a historic accusation.

WHOA. Trump says he will pardon Juan Orlando Hernandez, who once said that he wanted to “shove the drugs right up the noses of the gringos.” He had people killed as part of his narco-trafficking ring, which he at times operated directly out of his presidential office.

Pardoning a foreign president convicted of drug trafficking isn’t about mercy.
It’s about building a network.
Strongmen don’t rise alone, they recruit other strongmen.
When a U.S. president starts rescuing convicted leaders abroad, it’s not diplomacy, it’s alliance-building for a darker future.

Trump’s flying monkey & adviser casually arguing for racism [blaming the group, for the action of an individual].
It’s easy to attack Miller*. But doing so is letting Trump off the hook.
To deal with an authoritarian regime you focus on the Leader, not the underlings fighting for his approval.
