Can we dox these criminals? I'd knock on their front doors to tell them what I think of murderers.

The two ICE agents who murdered a civilian in Biddeford, Maine today. Let's make them famous.

And to you know why that chestnut is in the Constitution? According to Gore Vidal, it's because the Founding Fathers didn't want Alexander Hamilton to be president.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

KARL: There's a constitutional requirement that you have to be a natural-born citizen to run for president. You were not born here. Do you think that's something that should be changed? MAMDANI: No. I think the Constitution looks good just the way it is.

OK. I've lived in the DC metro area since 1977. Anyone living here at that time know how iffy a lot of DC was back then. I can walk anywhere in the city now. (At 14th and H Streets, NW, sat the world's largest dirty bookstore. (That was its sign.))

Some things I did not understand until I was part of the publishing industry: - Awards ≠ sales - Critical acclaim ≠ sales - Almost all authors you see in a bookstore have another source of income, usually large enough to pay the bills - You do not have to publish to be a writer

Want to know why lots of folk hate socialism? Eugene Debs, who ran for president as a socialist, called socialism "Christianity in action." Think of how many Evligelicals hate Christ and his teachings.

For two years, Mike Johnson refused to hang the plaque on the wall honoring police officers who defended the Capitol on J6 against a mob of violent rioters, even though a law was passed to mandate it. But he supports paying over a billion dollars to the criminal rioters.

Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social

A Supreme Court so fundamentally hostile to the rights of minority voters places the Court at odds with democracy itself. This is the legacy of Chief Justice John Roberts. I opposed his nomination back in 2005, and I stand by that.

Kimmel wasn’t fired for his remarks on Kirk—he was fired for using his platform to expose and critique our government. Enough! We especially need large corporations, with the money and influence they have, to fight back. sign.moveon.org/petitions/ki...

St. Thomas More went to the block rather than perjure himself. ICE Barbie? Not so much. (To be fair, St. Thomas was faithful to his spouse.)

“Like I said, some people will die. When you go to war, some people will die.” That’s what the President of the United States is saying to the American people. He won’t be hurt by a retaliatory attack or high gas prices. But you will — and that’s a sacrifice he’s willing to make.
