https://t.co/9fxnTV9dir via @NYTimes. Ah, poetry!! “Now a slight meniscus floats on the moral pigment of these times, producing displacement of the body image, the politic albino.”

[Robert S. Boynton @rsboynton]

I think Trump just wanted to see what it felt like to attend a trial in which he wasn't the defendant... https://t.co/DZfPLBX531

A reminder: Charles Kushner was a convicted criminal pardoned by Trump and sent to France as ambassador.
Kushner hired a prostitute he knew to seduce his brother-in-law, arranged to record an encounter between the two, and had the tape sent to his sister.

🚨🇺🇸 BREAKING: Protesters in Los Angeles just projected an anti-ICE video onto a building.

And it wasn’t just any building.

It was Twin Towers, an ICE-linked detention facility where LASD actively collaborates with ICE for deportation screening.

This is what resistance looks like when people stop pretending everything is normal.

Sp Trump dropped both the options of military force AND tariffs? Isn't that called "giving up"? https://t.co/CHIUdw3QLi
