Stop being "shocked" (it's a way to avoid facing hard facts) So is: "That's not who we are!" This shitshow's still going strong but only a tiny fraction of the people are OK with it.
If you are shocked this am that Trump’s government executed a search warrant against a Democratic Member of Congress and ignored a judge’s order then you haven’t been paying attention. Stop saying this isn’t how it works in the US. It is exactly how it works under Trump.
OK I'll link it to ya anyway 🥰 It's a lecture, but not boring. It's not marketing or packaging - it's 100% information. Starts at 5:00 youtu.be/cZq1zPCul8w?...

Ossoff is acting like Trump/MAGA/GOP and what they’ve done to the country is Actually Bad. Charismatic and well spoken, which sure helps. But no “my friends across the aisle,” no acting like the imaginary “Baileys” are the only ones who matter, no “don’t talk values, only kitchen table.” That’s it.
Figuring out why Ossoff is so effective is an interesting task. I think he's mastering a kind of stern dignity that is uniquely compelling in contrast to the clownish cruelty of the other side. I think the other person who's kind of hit on the same thing is AOC, though in a different register

The grand jury said no. So Trump's U.S. attorney in Chicago walked in and talked to the grand jurors himself.

I want to share two poems with you. The first was written in the ruins of World War I; the second, in the gathering storm of World War II. To me, both feel appropriate to the dark time we’re now living through. Read them and let me know your thoughts.

Judges have called President Donald Trump’s Justice Department “unlawful,” “unethical” and “unseemly.” Now, they’re questioning if government prosecutors can be trusted.

Darren and Daniel are U.S. citizens from Illinois who were unlawfully arrested at work after DHS agents broke through a gate and used chemical irritants against them that required medical attention. They are two of 54 people being represented by ACLU affiliates seeking justice for agents' abuses.

We can see this in the ICE flight data. Domestic “round-up” flights are spiking, and some activist flight watchers report the flights are getting fuller. But deportation and removal flights remain steady. This means the concentration camps are getting packed to the brim. It’s awful to comprehend.
ICE is engaged in a very large escalation nationwide, with the agency claiming to be hitting record arrest numbers amid the return of quotas. This has gotten very little attention from the media because ICE learned lessons from the chaotic disasters of Kristi Noem’s tenure. Keep a watch.

If you’re unwilling to read this piece before insisting you know what is going on with Justice Jackson, specifically regarding trans people, I’m sorry people are lying to you. And, if you don’t know me and just decided that I’m a cis guy who doesn’t care about trans people, that’s wrong and on you.
NEW: Two-hundred-and-fifty years in, Justice Jackson is doing the work that is needed from our leaders. The United States needs leaders willing to speak forthrightly about our past and ambitiously about our future in order to make it through the treacherous present. This Fourth, at Law Dork:

RFK Jr. says that HPV vaccine is “dangerous and defective”. A new study from England shows that HPV vaccines have reduced deaths from cervical cancer to ZERO for women aged 20-24. Significant reductions in older age groups were observed as well, though the latter have lower vaccination coverage.

There’s this phenomenon among white middle class people during fascism that is entirely rooted in self-preservation. The reaction to others being targeted is not “how can I help this not happen to you/others?” But “if I ignore it & be good, it won’t happen to me.” Germans documented this thoroughly.

With its recent rulings, the Roberts Court has now entirely perverted the purpose of the 15th Amendment, turning an outright ban on racial discrimination in voting into a right to discriminate against black voters. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
