The New Republic@newrepublic.com · 3w agoThis is one of many times the 80-year-old president has appeared to be completely asleep on camera. But for him to do it today—in front of the families of victims on the twenty-fifth anniversary—is particularly inappropriate. trib.al/soXqJtH
Trump fell asleep at the Pentagon's 9/11 ceremony. Then he woke up and used the anniversary to sell you a war Iran had nothing to do with. Meanwhile the Houthis just seized the entire Yemeni Red Sea coast as the war spirals. Here's your update:

9/11 gave us the Department of Homeland Security, which gave us ICE. Things got worse after 9/11 and stayed that way
Jared Yates Sexton@jysexton.bsky.social · 3w agoThere are already articles circulating trying to rewrite history and say America was great after 9/11 and united and thoughtful and just a reminder that that period was marked by intense and insanely racist hatred, paranoia, and a frothing desire for unhinged violence and oppression.
ICE’s violence and cruelty is THE moral issue of our time. Republicans have totally abandoned Congress’s constitutional responsibility and oversight power. It's imperative that we bring real accountability to this out-of-control agency—and claw back the insane funding that has fueled its abuses.
Yesterday, a federal appeals court rejected ICE’s mass-detention policy, comparing it to Japanese internment camps during WWII—one of the darkest chapters in our history. SCOTUS will likely take up the case. I’ve been to these detention centers. They’re deeply inhumane and woefully inadequate.

In February, I led 62 of my colleagues in demanding the Trump administration stop illegally detaining immigrants and denying bond hearings. Today, another court ruled against this policy, setting it up to be brought to the Supreme Court. Trump’s mass detention campaign must end.

Aaaaaand that's just one reason this Black woman can't endorse him with my full chest. Yes, there are now no better voting options, but, I wouldn't phone bank for him. I'll be there for his next Dem challenger though, unless they're just as awful.

If u support anti trans Democrats as an “equality” organization then you are explicitly stating that you thinks trans people aren’t people and don’t deserve equality

The trade war with Canada makes no economic sense. And most Americans agree. Polling shows they see Canadians as close allies, oppose the tariffs against them, and are actually cheering on Canadian retaliation. https://youtu.be/h8Fvnl0l7_8
I bet the NYT would've given Mamdani the same benefit of the doubt if he'd said he'd gone down to Ground Zero as a child to dig people out of the rubble.
Roy Edroso@edroso.bsky.social · 3w agoTrump told 9/11 families that he was rescued from the rubble of the World Trade Center -- an obvious and shocking lie. Here's how the New York Times reports it. This is like reporting George Wallace's "segregation forever" speech as "Governor speaks at inauguration. Some remarks controversial."
