If Markwayne Mullin is confirmed, he will be the dumbest Cabinet Secretary of all time. Not an easy feat.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

It doesn’t matter if you’re working class or a billionaire: climate change will hurt your grandchildren.
That’s why I cannot understand oil executives who sacrifice the planet’s health for their short-term profits
We must transform our energy system away from fossil fuels NOW.

I will throw a parade.
I hope I can live long enough to see Stephen Miller prosecuted, convicted, and sentenced for his numerous crimes against humanity.
I hope we can all see him sniveling and crying as he's taken to prison.

Let's do basic math: 12 meals-ready-to-eat per case. 48 cases per pallet. That's 576 meals per pallet. Say you gotta feed a million people, three meals a day. One pallet will feed 192 people per day. To feed a million people, you'd have to airdrop 5,208 pallets per day. Like come on. This is stupid.
Israel will allow foreign countries to airdrop aid into Gaza, an Israeli security source says, as the country faces mounting backlash over a spiraling hunger crisis in the Palestinian enclave.
Israel says it will let foreign countries drop aid into Gaza as hunger crisis spirals
Airdrops into Gaza have previously been criticized as insufficient and impractical. The United Nations has called for an urgent ceasefire, though talks appeared Friday to have collapsed.

The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation's killing fields/aid distro sites are only part of what it's doing. It's is also working with the Tony Blair Institute⛳️on Project Aurora which plots out a future for Gaza that includes nightmarish things like the "Elon Musk Smart Manufacturing Zone".

Reminder: When billionaires take control of communication platforms, it’s not a win for free speech. It’s a win for oligarchy.
And when those billionaires justify their business motives by citing “freedom,” what they really seek is freedom from accountability.
Don't be fooled.

I feel like we need to keep saying this because it’s so insane: This is a legal U.S. resident who has been detained for over a month now for his political opinions.
The Department of Homeland Security denied Mahmoud Khalil permission to attend the birth of his first child, who was delivered at a New York hospital on Monday, according to emails reviewed by The New York Times.

Mr. Khalil, a permanent resident detained in Louisiana, had requested a monitored furlough for the birth. His request was denied in less than an hour.

As a criminal defense attorney, the vast majority of my cases were NOT immigrants.
So let's stop pretending immigrants are the problem when there's a 34-count convicted felon sitting in the White House.
The hypocrisy is outrageous.
