- Reposted by Chris MurphyI think often of the women in the Louis CK story—how they all left comedy and never went back, but he’s still going. It’s everywhere and it’s such a loss for them and for us—for things they’ll never make that we’ll never see.

- 🚨 BAD NEWS: Air Wisconsin sold 13 CRJs to ICE’s flight broker — MAGA-loving, immigrant-hating, election-denying CSI Aviation. Now its furloughed flight attendants have been called back. Do they even know they’re going to be flying shackled migrants??🚨 h/t @jjindc.bsky.social, links next post.
- Reposted by Chris MurphyI get this, but here's where I'm at: Trump & Vance are the worst of us. America is bigger than them, and they win if we let them define us. Team USA is the best of us. It's filled with Americans MAGA hates—first-generation + immigrants, LGBTQ+ athletes, people of color—& I'm gonna root for them.

- Reposted by Chris MurphyPeople are going to be really mad that the ask here isn’t abolishing any deportation ever (which would be my choice if it was just up to me) but this is a very calculated list of reasonable asks that Republicans will lose their minds over, reinforcing revulsion in the American lizard brain.

- Congress has a real chance right now to influence and change the trajectory of immigration enforcement in the US and arrest the use of ICE and CBP as a fascist secret presidential interior police. Here's my research on what would make a difference: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/six-ways-t...

- Reposted by Chris MurphyGood example of what an institution the size of WaPo can do that is very difficult to replace.

- Reposted by Chris MurphyI have a hard time believing folks who cite the common law as a guiding principle and then say "unwritten"* constitutionalism is worthless. And, as icing on the cake, urge folks not to believe their lying eyes about the text we have. * I do not concede that the UK's constitution is per se unwritten

- Reposted by Chris MurphyOn February 2nd, Trump lied about a deal he had with Putin about Ukraine: ""I asked him if he wouldn't shoot for a period of one week … no missiles going into Kyiv or any other town … and he's agreed to do it." Russia then attacked Ukraine with 71 missiles and 450 strike UAVs.
