New here? I post about big stuff (politics, power, history) and small stuff (music I’m looping, cities I’m exploring, things that make me laugh). Basically the world as I bump into it. ⚖️📖✈️😂

ICE raids are cruel, inhumane, and do nothing to serve public safety.
My responsibility is to be the mayor to each and every person that calls this city their home. That includes millions of immigrants— of which I am one.

Trump: "Don't forget I can use the Insurrection Act. 50% of the presidents almost have used that. And that's unquestioned power."

There is simply no equivalent, not even close, of this anywhere on the center or far left. There is no ‘both sides’ here, media.
"Together, the messages reveal a culture where racist, antisemitic and violent rhetoric circulate freely — and where the Trump-era loosening of political norms has made such talk feel less taboo among those positioning themselves as the party’s next leaders."

Shapiro wants a world where the status quo is virtue and dissent is pathology. But history proves that tearing down injustice is as necessary as creating new systems.

If Kirk’s movement wanted young people to think for themselves, it wouldn’t be hunting educators. It would be debating them.

Wild to see Kirk remembered as a “civil debater” when his record is littered with slurs, lies, and calls for violence. Coates is right if we ignore his own words, we’re just rehearsing the same historical amnesia that once sanitized Confederates.

We can condemn Kirk’s murder and still critique his politics. Saying criticism is what killed him is disingenuous it confuses speech with violence and scapegoats millions of people who had nothing to do with it.

Someone pulled the trigger not “all liberals.” Turning a tragedy into proof of some culture war is dishonest and dangerous. Violence is wrong, but so is weaponizing grief to demonize millions.

This isn’t a personnel spat. It’s a stress test for the Constitution. Do courts still “say what the law is,” or does the president get to be judge, jury, and executioner of vague laws? If it’s the latter, separation of powers is dead letter.

Donald Trump’s unprecedented firing of a Federal Reserve board member isn’t just about her job status. It’s about what checks remain on a president bent on vastly expanding his office’s power.
