Ah, I’m sure @maddowblog.bsky.social and @lawrenceodonnell.bsky.social will have appropriate memorials to him this evening. Worth scrapping some of today’s coverage- I would much rather hear about Butterfield than Donald.

This puts me at 10 people released. I filed my 1st habeas petition 29 days ago. I am an incredibly small-time, nobody lawyer who knew nothing about immigration law the day I submitted that case. I barely know any more today. I had never sued the federal government and now I've beaten them 10 times.

After 3 years of being blocked/delayed by creepy insurrectionist Mike Johnson and fascist republicans, this Jan 6 honorary plaque meant to honor hero officers was installed at the US Capitol quietly at 4 am. It was required by law to be installed in March 2023. Shameless.

The killing of Iranian children during an illegal war is an impeachable offense (not to mention a grave crime) and Congress should really act like it.

15 Republicans in the Senate could end this nightmare before it somehow gets even worse.

Nobody hates living veterans more than Republicans. Dead veterans they can exploit in videos. But living veterans with opinions and medical needs are literally offensive to conservatives.

For years on my old blog I published the names of servicemembers who died in Iraq & Afghanistan. No other outlets were.

These are the first 4 Americans to die in the Iran War.

Quote by bell hooks

“If women want a feminist revolution—ours is a world that is crying out for feminist revolution—then we must assume responsibility for drawing women together in political solidarity. That means we must assume responsibility for eliminating all the forces that divide women.”
