Seeing vivid images of burning cars, people are understandably alarmed, and no one should burn cars or riot or assault anyone, including federal officers. As well, Americans should be alarmed by abusive Trump administration tactics that aren't often vividly photographed

"Federal agents make warrantless arrests. Masked agents take people into custody without identifying themselves. Plainclothes agents in at least a dozen cities have arrested migrants who showed up to their court hearings. And across the U.S., people suspected of being in the

I'm usually a pretty good speller and have typed the name of the governor of California hundreds of times and I still have to check every time to see if it ends in an "e" or not. Why?

3 points here: 1) Violent attacks on federal agents are wrong. 2) When serving a POTUS who pardoned people who violently attacked federal agents, righteous claims of "zero tolerance" are unearned. 3) Newsom, who I often criticize, explicitly spoke out against violence.

Deranged = allowing your city to burn & law enforcement to be attacked. There is plenty of room for peaceful protest, but ZERO tolerance for attacking federal agents who are doing their job. The National Guard, and Marines if need be, stand with ICE.

In part, my piece today is a lament that a faction on the right, exemplified by the astonishingly popular account below, don't care how much the country suffers from their approach to deportation. Radical zeal of this sort always ends badly. https://t.co/CQ3lAz1V85

I don’t care what it costs. All illegals must be deported in this country. The Democrat party caused this.

In the works for awhile and coincidentally out today: my pitch for a liberal arts college to shift from touting itself as a place with cutting edge tech to also developing spaces where students can benefit from learning and socializing without screens.

“My hope is that Pomona or another liberal-arts college recasts itself from a place that brags about how much tech its incoming students will be able to access," @conor64 says, "to a place that also brags about spaces that it has created as tech refuges.” https://t.co/TBkXKdUUsS

I did not expect accusations of "privilege" to spread to the Trump Administration but here we are.

The most important fact about Terry’s full public meltdown is what it shows about the corporate press in America. For decades, the privileged anchors and reporters narrating and gatekeeping our society have been radicals adopting a journalist’s pose. Terry pulled off his mask.

How are parodists supposed to make a living in an era when this is not parody?

What a POS Alex Jones turned out to be - what a fucking fraud. He’s literally implying here that Trump is a pedo. He’s been silent all day while Trump has been viciously, attacked with lies. I used to respect Alex Jones, but now he’s just a piece of shit fraud. What a fucking

2.3 million followers, calling for dictator moves that many of them are endorsing. Normie Trump supporters need to belatedly understand the dangerous wing of their coalition that has no regard for the rule of law

Steve Bannon is calling on President Trump to Deport Elon Musk & Seize his company Do you think this is the right move ?

Who can forget the battle of Celebrity Apprentice and crossing the frozen river to drive from Manhattan to his Atlantic City casino. All his life he did these things.

Trumps been fighting for American his whole life. Elons been fighting for America for less than a year. Just saying…
