WTH? @#$&_##*!!?

Obama: "The rogue behavior of agents of the federal government is deeply concerning and dangerous ... the sort of behavior that we've seen in authoritarian countries and we've seen in dictatorships, but we have not seen in America."

Repeat after me: per the Constitution, the federal government has no authority over elections.

I think one thing people outside Minnesota don't understand is that after Good and Pretti were killed by feds while observing, the most normal people you could imagine have made peace with the fact that they could be next, and they are still out there because they say it's the right thing to do.

Really crazy that so many Americans based their entire life around carrying guns to protect US from authoritarians & pedophiles, then when confronted with authoritarians & pedophiles they joined in as paramilitary terrorizing innocent civilians & protecting the pedophiles from accountability.

To all the Minnesotans who are making their voices heard and protesting peacefully: The world is watching, and when change comes, it will be because of you.

The Mayor of Portland, OR after ICE shot tear gas into a crowd “To those who..work for ICE: Resign..Through your use of violence and..trampling of the Constitution, you have lost all legitimacy and replaced it with shame. [G]o home, look in a mirror, and ask yourselves why you have gassed children”

To those blaming Walz for not mobilizing the Guard, he did that six days ago. I have to say it's disturbing to see people angry at Walz instead of the government agents that just executed a man. As though we should all be experts about what to do when a secret police force invades an American city.

ICE is detaining a 5 year old boy. If you get off on this, you’re a monster and don’t you dare pretend to worship God.

Bwahahaha

Moriarty: "A police officer of color who was off duty was boxed in by ICE - she's a citizen - they demanded to know who she was & see her papers. She was going to try to record it & they ripped the phone out of her hand. That happened to a cop. That's what's happening here on the streets of MN."

Anti-Fascist Hat pattern, c. 1940s, that fought the Nazis. Appropriate for now. Wish I could knit. Needles up, y'all.

I always thought MLK’s ‘Mountaintop’ speech was his best, which was given the day before he was killed. It is especially relevant given what is happening now in MN and elsewhere. He was getting many serious threats, which he references in his line “I may not get there with you.”

maggiessboutique Our hearts are with all Minnesotans during this difficult time. We stand for safety, respect, and dignity for every member of our community, and we hope for healing, transparency, and unity across the state. Human first. Always. 🤍

In Germany, a lot of houses have these Stolpersteines on their sidewalks or stoops. They’re a memorial to victims of the Holocaust who were ripped from that home. Some houses have a few. Other houses have many. ICE has started going door to door in America.

Ds should be alarmed.  Rumored game plan allegedly by peeps close to Schumer, DSCC, & power brokers & consultants: Run a known Dem in US Senate primary and win, then withdraw, leaving only Daines and Seth Bodnar (the “independent.”) Winning “strategy”? Bah. #mtpol #mtnews

UM Prez Seth Bodnar looks poised to run against Daines as an “Independent" & power brokers ponder rewriting MT Dem rules to ease his path. Party rules shouldn’t bend for non-Democrats. Dems: Pay very close attention and stop this nonsense. #mtpol #mtnews @montanademocrats.org

Hey, your friendly semi-retired storm chaser 🌪️ and all around life long weather geek here with an important message: This is really bad.

Bernie Sanders: "We need to be thinking seriously about a moratorium on data centers. You gotta slow this process down. It's not good enough for the oligarchs to tell us 'you adapt.' Are they gonna guarantee healthcare to all people? What are they gonna do when there are no jobs? Make housing free?"

It’s the year 2025 and Americans have to watch a bootlegged international version of a news program because it was censored here in our country to protect a criminal president.

If you think Trump's march to authoritarian power is unstoppable - or already a fait accompli - just note how panicked and weak he was tonight and he wheedled and whined about nothing is his fault. That's not a man who thinks he's winning.

Congresswoman Ilhan Omar's son was pulled over by ICE and forced to prove he is an American. Two options: 1) ICE deliberately targeted him. 2) ICE is stopping all non-White people without any probable cause and forcing them to prove they are citizens. Hard to say which option is scarier.

We staffed the entire FBI with guys who only make memes and podcasts, hope that doesn't affect our ability to respond to major crimes

So just to sum things up for anyone who was lucky enough to be off social media this weekend, there is too much shit happening all at once and all of it is very very bad.

GEORGE WILL: “.. The killing of the survivors by this moral slum of an administration should nauseate Americans. A nation incapable of shame is dangerous, not least to itself.” @postopinions.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Yep. LIUNA 💪🏼

So MAGA, You see these two? One of them is your dear leader, the other is a Prince in a country where CHRISTIANITY IS BANNED. Where you can be arrested for being a CHRISTIAN, for displaying CHRISTIAN symbols and even, for having a bible. But go ahead, tell me how much fucking MONEY he's investing.

@maddow.bsky.social I feel that all the Food and donation drives across this Country are a massive vote against Project 2025 and this administration. Bigger than any Rally. civileats.com/2024/08/28/p...

'Polls suggest 74 percent of voters in the state will back a ballot initiative to counter the effects of Citizens United.' I bet that number holds for most states. Let's do this! Send this article to your governor.

What a terrible day to know how to read

😳

This is a bad deal, and the old way of doing things is clearly not working. We need new leaders in the Senate.

80% of Democratic voters want a new leader in the Senate. Does that matter at all to Democratic senators?

Tonight was a very bad night.

Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength. Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans. The American people need more from their leaders.

Why are ICE agents being paid during the shutdown, but not air traffic controllers? 🤨

This is looking like a very good night for democracy and sanity. What a relief.

Can’t stop thinking about all the robber baron fucks that held secret meetings and spent MILLIONS AND MILLIONS in bribes and campaign investments and attack ads and media manipulation trying to tank Mamdani currently having the dawning realization that their money is completely and utterly useless.

Republicans thought they had a permanent hold over young men. They didn't. Spanberger wins men 18-29 by 14%, Sherrill by 10%, and Mamdani by a stunning 40%.

SNAP is not the reason your taxes are high. SNAP recipients don’t need to “just go get a job”. Most of them work. The rest are disabled, elderly, children or caregivers. People need & deserve assistance Your taxes fund wars and tax cuts for the ultra rich Be mad about that

If a temporary resident of the White House can totally demolish the East Wing to build a gaudy ballroom, without any authority, approval, or regulation, he can tear down the rest of the White House to build a Walmart. That this destruction is allowed underscores how off the rails our country is now.

it’s wild that this is just sort of the most openly corrupt administration of all time and they’re just allowed to do that and most media doesn’t say a word about it

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 81st day out of the last 93. 12 days of work in over 3 months. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.
