It costs nothing to respond with “lol” instead of “I’ve seen this,” beloved.

This story is HORRIFIC. This DACA recipient was brought here by his parents in 1999 when he was 8 years old. He is a laboratory scientist who's had DACA since 2012. Now he's languishing in an ICE detention center because the Trump admin failed to process his renewal in time!

ICE seizes DACA recipient on way to visit premature baby in NICU. Trump admin is not renewing "Dreamers" who were given legal status as children to stay in U.S. -- says they can now be detained and deported. @lbarronlopez ms.now/news/ice-detai…

Racism is when you discriminate against another race. It is bad. Sexism is when you discriminate against another sex. It is also bad. Antisemitism is when you discriminate against Jews. Again, bad. I could give ten more examples. So why did Muslims not create a similar word thst is bad? Why is their "bad" word Islamophobia? Which, when you break it down into it's component parts, isn't about discriminating against Muslims, but is about fearing them? And then stating that that fear is irrational and unacceptable. The word was created as a weapon, to conflate stopping discrimination (which is a good thing) with stopping criticism (which is not). Because under Sharia law, which is fundamental to Islam, criticizing Islam is a crime. In some Sharia-compliant countries, it is punishable by death. Even with all the actual violence around us, we must remember we are also in a rhetorical war over the contours of speech in this country. And I was built for that fight.

🚨NEW 🚨 @piersmorgan and Tucker Carlson responded to @benshapiro's attacks against them over Israel. "And Ben Shapiro and a lot of these people are saying it out loud. We need to penalize antisemites with the law. What does that even mean? You can never, in the United States, prosecute or even persecute someone for his beliefs. For your beliefs. You have the right of conscience in this country," @TuckerCarlson said. @DailyCaller

"The sooner David Ellison takes over that network, the better." The Defense Secretary calling for a billionaire ally of the government to take over a media outlet & make it more pro-government. This is what authoritarianism looks like. But in other countries they try & hide it.

Hegseth: No quarter, no mercy for our enemies. Yet some in the press just can't stop. More fake news from CNN reports that the Trump administration underestimated the Iran war's impact on the strait of hormuz. The sooner David Ellison takes over that network, the better.

@LisaDNews @SpeakerJohnson I realize that this is a big gotcha opportunity for @LisaDNews given the lack of any nuance in @RepOgles statement. But that doesn't mean there aren't legitimate questions about Muslims and the west. x.com/jskdn/status/2…
J. Sanders@jskdn

@JakeSherman Is there a tendency of Muslims towards Islamism that’s incompatible with a liberal, pluralistic, secular, modern democratic state? Where Islam is dominant the outcomes raise concerns of something implicit in the religion as practiced that manifests when the opportunity arises.

so Trump just replaced Kristi Noem, who didn’t have a law degree, with Markwayne Mullin, who doesn’t even have a bachelor’s degree, as DHS secretary and they have the nerve to call well-educated, overqualified Black women “DEI hires”? oh the irony

I’ve spent years, decades, obsessing over the Bush Administration’s Iraq WMD lies, writing about them, debunking them. I can think of no lie about Iraq WMDs told by Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld et al that comes even close to the enormity and absurdity of this lie from Donald Trump.

All those years demagoguing Benghazi and pretending to give a shit about Americans overseas, and now the White House starts a reckless war with Iran and tells everyone trying to escape the chaos that you're on your own.
