This is what Democrats in the Senate and the House can be doing right now: running defacto impeachment hearings. Every Wed night, at Union Station, get people from Minneapolis on TV testifying about how Kristi Noem’s criminal and impeachable acts. Say “impeachment.” Have a TV producer run it.

Federal agents kill again; gunmen still at large: defector.com/federal-agen...

Abolish the Republican Party.

this is it. this is the level. this is the standard for democratic officials. anything less is intolerable.

remember when erick erickson was haha’ing about tossing his opponents out of helicopters?

Chuck, I have terrible news. The feds shot the Baileys. Point-blank range, right in the face. They're gone, Chuck. You let them die. You have the Baileys' blood on your hands.

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

Glory to the martyrs who defend the Republic

Yep. It's the correct term. That it makes people uncomfortable is more reason to use accurate language.

not the worst of it, but it’s hilarious how Jake Tapper (self-professed independent bookstore aficionado) somehow thinks it hurts Moon Palace to participate in the strike MP’s loyal customer base, which they’ve cultivated and nurtured for years, would have been horrified if the shop *hadn’t* closed

‘They just tased Ryan‘ is without a doubt the greatest call an announcer has made since do you believe in Miracles

The right will never ever hand it to you on a single fucking thing even if they secretly agree with it. They will contort themselves into shapes that do not exist and spite themselves and destroy their own families just to fuck you over. Insane to me that people don't know this yet.

Thinking about how republicans were going to the border nonstop in 2024 even though fucking nothing noteworthy was going on and doing interviews and press conferences with their asshole supporters down there and screaming "SHE'S NEVER BEEN TO THE BORDER" and made it a national crisis

my own mother told me that Trump clearly did not do anything wrong because he did not go to prison. i have heard this over and over.

Weird framing. How about: "A federal judge has rejected claims by a conservative group that Northwestern University's law school discriminates against white men in faculty hiring"?

Hey Nancy? How about you talk to your boy you personally pushed to get elected in Texas who just decided to fund terrorists and child kidnappers. Why don’t you get on that first before you go after the people upholding the rule of law, you withered heap of insider trading.

The grimness of US history should encourage us. Yes, people used to send lynching postcards. And other people saw that, worked towards building a more just society anyway, and succeeded beyond anyone's wildest imagination. There's more work to be done. What's our excuse for choosing despair instead?

Never has a bad performance. No one is ever disappointed when Delroy Lindo pops up on screen. Long overdue. Baller time

And thanks to all the people reminding me that the term Quisling is actually coined after a European politician who knuckled under to Hitler. Given how widely understood "Schumer energy" seems to be now on both sides of the Atlantic, Schumer should be a little worried too.

Like, in a very elemental anthropological way, we have laws for a reason, and it's because people won't tolerate it otherwise The solution to blood feuds was never "well you should just not get so mad when someone you love is murdered." It was the law, it was justice

This is like randomly assigning children to parents that hit them for a year

Jet Li has started a YouTube channel and it seems like his intention is “Jet Li wants to be your dad” and hell yes be all of our dads Jet Li

"History will not look kindly upon______" Damn history ... i don't look kindly upon it... we aint gotta wait

Well I’m not a senator, so my powers of calling it into question are pretty much limited to writing and protest. But you could make an issue of it on the US Senate floor every legislative day.

Mamdani first became a serious player in the mayoral race because he loudly confronted and screamed at Tom Homan while being physically restrained by ICE goons

We have a goalie fight! Sergei Bobrovsky skates all the way down to challenge Alex Nedeljkovic (h/t @msmambo.bsky.social)

The lesson from the welfare-fraud scandal in Minnesota is that if Democratic state and Federal governments invest time and effort into fighting corruption and fraud they will receive zero credit for it, but the right-wing media-grievance industrial-complex will still use it to justify pogroms.

Posting this to X, Threads, and Bluesky as an experiment

The problem was not labeling Trump correctly as a fascist. The problem was not treating him as one. They still aren’t! That creates a gap where you’re warning people that things are on fire, but instead of evacuating or getting water, you’re casually sitting down with a cup of tea.

It's a problem that actual elected officials post on social media as if they are powerless observers and commentators.

I have to disagree. There are some people who are so obviously chameleons who aren't fighting alongside us, they are fighting us in the same breath that they fight Trump. Richard Hanania can go choke on a bell curve.

had to get out of bed to make this

Trump's obsession with Greenland and erratic interventionism towards Venezuela are almost textbook case studies of a declining great power externalising its growing domestic instability into external imperial quagmires

Arlit Maria Martinez is a mother of 4. Her son, Kevin, died of cancer while she was in ICE custody. ICE refused her request to be at Kevin's side in his final moments. They must let her attend Kevin’s memorial. Arlit, I hope you hear how many patriots stand with you.

So they collected a bunch of evidence and are preventing state and local police from seeing it, but they aren’t conducting an investigation.

Simon Rosenberg is STILL trying to post through it!?!??! It's actually really revealing that he is, because that caste of self-fellating legacy Dem people truly believe they know better than you do & it's part of why it's so difficult for us to get the bad conservative Democrats out of office

Shocking how much this thread reminds me of every smug as shit canvas manager they fly in to fuck up campaigns in NC

Bad-jacketing Will Stancil with screenshots of cherry-picked old posts when he’s on the ground confronting ICE/CBP is petty and counterproductive. Can he be annoying? Yes. Has he ever been wrong? Yes. So can and have we all. But for god’s sake, leave him be, and let him cook on this ICE/CBP thing.

My last two shots before my world went dark.

“Nazis are, to the last man, fucking cowards.”

Somebody the other day arguing that [paraphrased] "it's important to agree with the right wing that certain of their concerns are valid, because we're losing the rhetorical battle" —no, if we're losing, it's because so-called friends keep validating fascist concerns. "We" who, motherfucker?

maybe this makes me weird but when someone who irritates me goes out into the world and does a good thing, I find that to be a good thing if everyone i found annoying was standing up to fight this, the enemy would have no chance at all

i’m a little confused about how “abolish ICE” requires too much explaining to be good politics, but a set of opaque incremental reforms does not.

you know this guy is a FOR REAL photographer because he's telling the story of his brutal, unconditional arrest by federal goons and can't help but slip in a gear review

Any DoJ attorney who participates in this investigation should suffer professional and social shunning that makes it effectively impossible to continue to work as an attorney.

yeah i'll vote for gavin newsom under extreme circumstances. like say we're on a life raft and need to decide who to eat first. or our plane crashes in the andes and we're figuring out who to barbecue for dinner. or if we're wagon-bound and stranded in a frozen pass over the sierra nevada mountains,
