ICE agents at polling stations? So now showing up to vote will get voters treated like Alex and Renee? Or at least threatened with that? Do not cave on this issue!

We can’t claim progress after the George Floyd murder until the kinds of people hired to be police officers would refuse to support that type of letter (‘“FOP Stands with ICE" - Minnesota Fraternal Order of Police Condemns Rhetoric’). It’s not just a few bad apples.

9/11 was a more devastating attack on the U.S. in the reaction it provoked than in the death and damage it directly caused on 9/11.

Would a person intentionally trying to destroy the United States from the inside do anything differently than Donald J. Trump?

The charges dismissed with prejudice. At some point will there be professional disciplinary action for the MAGA Regime lawyers on this case?

“It’s not about free speech or fighting cancel culture or any of the other fig leaves being used to justify this. It’s about a woman who called a 5-year-old autistic child a racial slur, doubled down when confronted, and is now being rewarded with more money than many Americans will see in a decade.”

@WarnerCrocker

Isolating the corrupt, convicted felon in chief on an island does have some appeal.

Long overdue to abolish the death penalty.

Hitler’s Terrible Tariffs
By seeking to “liberate” Germans from a globalized world order, the Nazi government sent the national economy careening backwards—and drove up the price of eggs 600 percent.
By Timothy W. Ryback, The Atlantic, 2025-04-20

“Hitler’s trade war with his neighbors would prove to be but a prelude to his shooting war with the world.”

What If China Wins the Trade War?
By Rogé Karma, The Atlantic, 2025-04-20

“If donald trump were trying to lose his trade war with China, it’s hard to see what he would be doing differently. The president’s gambit is likely to strengthen China’s geopolitical position, embolden Beijing militarily, and diminish both the United States’ global standing and its economy.”

@RealJournalism

Calling the Trump insurrection on 2021-01-06 a "rally" is the perfect example of gaslighting.

@inthehands

Thank you. I should have written 5,700 percent "of"; I agree with 5,600 percent "more." The risk of vague expression.

@inthehands

57 times equals a mere 5,700 percent, correct? Statistics can be so much fun.

@br00t4c
Easy to say. Not likely without destroying the quality of medical care and education. More likely that there will be a proliferation of tools that could be used by medical professionals and teachers. With some luck and a lot of work some of the tools might even be helpful.

@br00t4c
Projection.
