Not really sure how you can see Evelyn Normielib (D, Texas) setting fire to a facility that might have the possibility of becoming an ICE concentration camp and despair about how Dem primary voters are gonna pick Gavin "We are Charlie Kirk" Newsom as the nominee

Once again, Bill is still the conservative opinion here, because we're at wine moms lightning potential ICE concentration camps on fire IN MISSOURI as a real thing. The fact that Chuck isn't even at defund means he needs to retire and go away.
C’mon, Chuck. You’re fighting to “rein in” ICE? DEFUND ICE.
This is why there must be a full, independent investigation of every incident that ICE has been involved in. DHS and this administration cannot be trusted to carry out investigations on their own.

And it’s why Democrats are fighting to rein in ICE.

This is something the Nazis used to do to Jewish children in the camps. It happened to a man I knew when he was a child in Auschwitz. The camp guards thought it was funny as hell.
On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.

The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.

But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

This is by far the most cartoonish politics has been in my lifetime. Extremely kind & decent people vs. the absolute dregs of humanity. It continues to baffle me that this is not equally clear to the whole country.

we kinda tried this. it was called "being cancelled." it was more of an ambition than an actual thing that happened to people.

and, in response, the ruling class absolutely lost its shit and decided even this mere glimmer of socially-enforced norms of behavior was jacobinism.
I feel like modern republics' constitutions sort of ignore oligarchic threat. But this is a serious example of what in the antiquity lead to ostracism. No guilt. You are found to be over-influential, 10 years pause. But of what in today's condition? And how to implement it?

this is comically evil. brazenly anti-social. just absolute black-pilled nihilism. we will not have a republic, we will not be free, until we regulate these companies to the point where — at a bare minimum — they're too afraid to put stuff like this down on paper.

Local immigrant defense networks were deluged with life and death cases. They put a call out for private lawyers to step in and provide pro bono help.

My firm did. And since we joined the effort on January 14, it’s been some of the hardest, most exhausting, most depressing month of my life.

"Frederick Douglass wasn't literate enough to understand the Constitution" is one of the most unhinged takes I've ever seen someone post even on bluesky, the official home of posting unhinged takes
Bluesky "leftist": "Frederick Douglass wasn't literate enough to read and understand the Constitution. I am very smart and woke."

I do really wish more reporters would just ask "Speaker Johnson, do you think it’s appropriate for the Speaker of the House—third in line of succession to the presidency—to be so consistently unfamiliar with current events?"
Q: Rep. Jayapal accused the DOJ of tracking her search history. Is that appropriate conduct?

MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know anything about that

Q: Bondi had a piece of paper with Jayapal's search history

JOHNSON: I don't know anything about that but it would be inappropriate if it happened

If anyone has any evidence that folks doing the kind of activism and observing that Pretti and Good were doing when killed were inspired by *elected officials,* I'd love to see it.

Because from my reporting in Minneapolis, exactly zero people cited elected officials as inspiration.
Ron Johnson to Keith Ellison: "Two people are dead because you encouraged them to put themselves into harm's way! And now you are exploiting those two martyrs. You ought to feel damn guilty about it. Yeah, sit there and smirk. Smirk. It's sick! It's despicable. You disgust me."

I’ve been saying this for nearly 30 years now.

Nothing has changed.
One day Democrats might reckon with the fact that abandoning local elections/politics has been their mistake in all this mess.

There's something deeply pathetic & petty about one of the biggest msn papers coming to whine about the percieved unfair treatement in the comments of a small indie outlet that represents the structurally disadvantaged victims of the global hate campaign that the NYT supports.

A Reuters photographer captured this image of a page from Pam Bondi's "burn book," which she used to counter any questions from Democratic lawmakers during an unhinged hearing today.

It looks like the DOJ monitored members of Congress’s searches of the unredacted Epstein files.

Just wow.

For decades, Texas let drillers spread staggering amounts of radioactive and PFAS-ridden waste on the fringes of the nation’s fourth largest metro area — while making it virtually impossible for the public to know where.

One of every thousand American residents has been taken into custody by ICE in the last year.
A stunning detail the ICE chief shared in this hearing that was supposed to be a brag, except it isn't: ICE has arrested 379,000 people between Jan. 2025-Jan. 2026 -- but only 8,700 were suspected gang members or known suspected terrorists.

That's 2%! www.huffpost.com/entry/latest...

When we get out the other side of this, we should think seriously about making signs like this permanent, like the plaques in Paris that tell you that you're standing on the exact spot where a resistance fighter was shot down by the Nazis in 1944.
