We have an update on the Liam Ramos family, and it isn’t good. The family is in hiding, and Liam is waking up in the middle of the night screaming for his daddy.

To me, the Democratic party as an institution projects weakness. The vast majority of Americans have had enough of Trump, but they expect a clear vision of what the alternative will look like. They also expect moral clarity and a readiness to fight for our democracy. They're not getting that.

The fact that Matthew Dowd lost his job for pointing out Charlie Kirk’s hate speech, while Brian Kilmeade openly suggests we should euthanize the homeless and there is zero outrage, shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

We’re going to go on a rant for a minute, and yes we’re bringing some history with us. Back in 1755, Benjamin Franklin wrote words that still echo today: “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.”

happy bday Italian-French writer Guillaume Apollinaire, b.1880. “Come to the edge," he said. "We can't, we're afraid!" they responded. "Come to the edge," he said. "We can't, We will fall!" they responded. "Come to the edge," he said. And so they came. And he pushed them. And they flew.”

There is not one marginalized, racialized, or oppressed group whose oppression or destruction is an acceptable cost for saving "democracy." Not one. If saving democracy requires leaving marginalized people behind, that's not a democracy worth saving. Either we all get saved or none of us do.

I think this is extraordinary: the most recent Democratic Presidential nominee thinks our political system is broken and not strong enough to defend our most fundamental principles. We have to understand that this crisis is bigger than one person, or one party--it's the entire system.

Kamala Harris on Colbert: "Recently I decided, I don't want to go back into the system. I think it's broken." "I always believed our systems would be strong enough to defend our most fundamental principles. Right now, I don't think they're as strong as they need to be.

I refuse to call an American concentration camp the same thing it calls itself at its attached gift shop Maybe American journalism should search in the garbage for its self-respect and start taking the same position?
