Terry Mac

The most incompetent Secretary of Homeland Security in American history so far!

I worked on a reality show with Donald Trump and he had a famous tagline he would say at the end of every episode: “You’re appointed as Special Envoy for The Shield of the Americas!!”

Why do I feel like we just met this regime's next Secretary of the Army?

Whatever they do to immigrants, they will do to us because, Trump's right, it is "no different" to deny human rights to US citizen versus a noncitizen

Disgusting and shameful.

A popular and very old argument for the value of philosophy claims that studying philosophy cultivates important intellectual abilities and dispositions. But empirical evidence for that claim has been hard to come by. Until now!

Tariffs.
Stock market down.
Medicaid slashed
Secret police throwing anyone who looks Latino in unmarked vans.
National guard and marines deployed in LA.
No end to the wars in Gaza or Ukraine
Bombing Iran

This is the worst first six months of any presidential term in my lifetime.

Portrait of AOC.

“The President’s disastrous decision to bomb Iran without authorization is a grave violation of the Constitution and Congressional War Powers. He has impulsively risked launching a war that may ensnare us for generations. It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”

AOC calls for Donald Trump’s impeachment following his decision to bomb Iran.

Terrible.

The Irish have been one of the groups most protected from enforcement of immigration rules. In the past, large numbers have overstayed visas, gotten jobs, and lived their lives with few worries.

All bets are off now. Everyone needs to be extra cautious.

I hope this works out for her. 🙏🏼

Trump is using Kilmar Abrego Garcia as the threat to the rest of us. “Fall in line or you’ll be disappeared. And I don’t need no stinking due process.”

State Terror A brief guide for Americans

"the president defied a Supreme Court ruling to return a man mistakenly sent to a gulag... and spoke of sending Americans to foreign concentration camps.
This is the beginning of an American policy of state terror, and it has to be identified as such to be stopped"

Don't comply with the cruel and unconstitutional orders of this Republican regime in advance. I am so proud of my adopted state of Washington.

WA schools superintendent resists Trump’s DEI order Washington joins a group of Democratic-led cities and states pushing back on threats to cut K-12 school funding over diversity, equity and inclusion efforts.

Good.

Diversity is our greatest strength — Washington State will continue to stand up for it. www.seattletimes.com/education-la...

Could we give Greenland Vance and Elon and call it even?

Oh, this is brilliant! This needs to be a trend.

Grimes worked for Elon Musk at Morgan Stanley (Musk's main banking partner), and advised him on the disastrous Twitter deal, allegedly helping him conceal purchases of the stock in violation of SEC rules.

And that's why you should study philosophy in college, kids!

I feel like a good meme is the best option here! 😂

Anyone else feel like Red Dawn might get really fucking relevant all of a sudden?

Solid perk, though I prefer to cry as soon as I get to my car after work.

So cool! Well done!

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:

I am so glad to live in Spokane, Washington right now. I love my adopted state. However we absolutely need more housing (both to house the unhoused and to attract more people) and we need a progressive tax structure to make up for the travesty of the GOP regime in DC

Thank you, friend! I appreciate it!

Hello all! I would like to please ask for some advice for a reading for next quarter. I am teaching a class on 19th and 20th West Phil and I would like to add an essay or chapter by Hannah Arendt.
What stand-alone essay by Arendt would speak best to our current crisis?
