Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

When you think you’ve won the war, chest bumping and all puffed out, and then a strong woman enters the arena with a case of beer for you to hold.

Secretary Noem, your administration now openly authorizes ICE agents to forcibly enter people's homes without a judicial warrant.
That is blatantly unconstitutional – ICE cannot authorize itself to break into people’s homes.
If ICE attempts such unconstitutional measures in Washington...

It’s not so much that Trump & co don’t think slavery was important, they want to remove this history precisely *because* of how important it was. They don’t want people to learn about slavery because then people would understand how it continues to shape the landscape of inequality in America today.
Signs about the history of slavery in the U.S. and the 9 people George Washington enslaved are being removed right now at the President’s House Site in Philadelphia, across from Independence Hall, months after the Trump administration threatend to do so.
How far we have not come in 250 years.

Canada is our friend and ally—and one of our biggest trading partners. Threatening Canada like this hurts America. Our citizens will pay for it—literally, as trade and travel plummet.
Trust and friendship, by the way? Easy to damage, pretty hard to repair.

Trump: "Canada gets a lot of freebies from us. They should be grateful but they're not. He watched your prime minister yesterday. He wasn't so grateful. But they should be grateful to us. Canada. Canada lives because of the United States. Remember that, Mark, next time you make your statements"

You can either deny reality or fix it, Trump is a reflection of your country as it has always been. It's not enough to reject or oust his regime, but also, have a serious reflection as a nation of how you actually got here, allowed corruption & impunity to exist openly for so long, and change it.

Every time Trump breaks the clear letter of the law, the NYT and WaPo write a story about how he’s “pushing boundaries” or “testing the limits of his authority”
He's not Chuck Yeager, guys. He's a crook.

Kicking off Senate Republicans' sham hearing on medication abortion by making absolutely clear:
MIFEPRISTONE IS SAFE AND EFFECTIVE.
This hearing is not about science. It's about Republicans trying to ban abortion nationwide.

Don’t give in to despair. Amid bad news, fake news, billionaire takeover, conflict and creeping authoritarianism, remember: it’s not too late. Every fraction of a degree, every action, still matters.

Strange takes on Mayor Zamdani swearing his oath on the Qu’ran. It has nothing to do with church & state. The point of the oath is for the person swearing in to do so upon some text that is sacred TO THEM. Some Presidents swore in w/o any book. John Quincy Adams was sworn on a law book. His choice.

Isn’t it odd that when a member of an immigrant ethnic group commits a crime, right-wing white guys want to deport the entire group, but when a right-wing white guy commits a crime, the other right-wing white guys don’t volunteer to deport themselves.
