I guess this storm is going to be a significant one in Texas. All my utility providers are emailing/texting me with tips and suggestions and Ted Cruz got on a plane to go to warmer climes.

Everyone in America should have to see these cases and think about what they mean for the kind of society we are becoming. They killed a mom in her minivan. And now they have grabbed this poor sweet kid, used him as bait to grab his dad, and sent him to a detention center in Texas.

Col Davis is the former chief prosecutor in Guantánamo.

hell awaits

Frog put the cookies in a box. “There,” he said. “Now we will not eat any more cookies.” “But we can open the box,” said Toad. “That is true,” said Frog.

We are all in a fox hole with hot dish-loving people and they’re so kind.

When the GOP complained about "weaponizing" law enforcement they were just pissed that their own were being held accountable. Now, they are gleefully weaponizing multiple law enforcement entities simply to attack Democrats.

FBI abusing power for Donald Trump.

The head of the Republican Party will head into the midterms trying to invade Greenland, impose higher taxes on consumers, terrorize American cities, build a lavish ballroom, refuse to release the Epstein files, and pardon drug dealers and fraudsters.

An FBI agent conducted an initial review of the Renee Good killing and determined sufficient grounds existed to open a civil rights probe into the actions of the ICE officer who shot her. Justice Department says no inquiry is warranted. @perrystein.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

John Birch Society having a totally normal moment.

Pew Research Institute (2023): • Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants • Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants • Blue State Minnesota has 130,000. And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration." It's *not* about immigration.

Congress can stop ICE. Congress can block the use of force in Greenland. In other words, in this crisis, Congress can act to support civil liberties at home and free nations abroad. To fail to act would be to be complicit in a dreadful outcome.

lol

In the immediate aftermath of the death of Renée Good in Minneapolis, FBI agents launched a civil rights investigation into the actions of the ICE agent who shot her. Instead, Justice Department leaders have tried to pursue a probe against Good’s partner.

I wonder how long it will take the media to catch on to the fact that ICE’s recruiting spree has effectively deputized every white supremacist hate group out there.

JFK deployed the military to secure the rights for African Americans. Trump potentially doing so to trample on the rights of Americans.

ICE and MAGA really did bet the farm on all of Minneapolis’s white people going “oh yes, please take away our disgusting, evil non-white-foreigner neighbors, oh thank you so much.” it’s beautiful that they’ve been proven incredibly wrong about that - may the rest of the country do the same.

this alone is worth an impeachment tbh

The Trump Administration treats its supporters and donors as above the law, able to violate your rights with impunity. Treat them accordingly.

Everyone gets a taste

This is great

When law-and-order types point out that only a small percentage of people killed by police each year were unarmed, keep in mind that Renee Good will be classified as "armed."

Texas A&M decided to publicly cancel my Ethics class, and share a false statement that I declined to provide information, which made it impossible for [them ] to request an exemption. See for yourself, if this statement is true. They are getting creative!

The federal government turning a city into a warzone because it belongs to the minority party and for no other reason.

It's truly stunning (though unsurprising) how little attention national media give Gov. Walz's speeches and news conferences. He's out there declaring his state under siege, and it's not in headlines outside of MN. They'll cover Trump's lies about him endlessly-- but not his actions.

What if he invades Minnesota

No funding for ICE. Impeach Kristi Noem now. Hold Trump and his lackeys accountable for the violence and terror being inflicted all across our country.

Props to the lady giving an interview in her pink UFFDA hat and saying, "well, gosh, I've never had tear gas and flashbangs shot at me, but I'm happy to take it so my neighbors are safe."

I am a firm believer in empathy and I have no empathy whatsoever…zero…for ICE agents.

Trump is now targeting community grocery stores in Minnesota alleging food stamp abuse. Sending pictures of these stores to his followers is irresponsible and dangerous.

Republican South Carolina state Rep. RJ May sentenced to 17.5 years in federal prison today. 5 counts of distributing child sex abuse material. He shared hundreds of images of kids, including pictures of adults raping seven-year-olds. Moms of Liberty had named him its Legislator of the Year.

He was asleep again.

Proud of my home state's governor. This tyranny must be stopped

Peter Crouch has 2 podcasts and that's a great thing

growing up in dc during these years was such a formative time - standing protests, last minute political shows, pure rage, and we could be right in front of the white house and play shows

I have self-reported that my class on political parties this term may well contain references and readings that address race, ethnicity, gender, and sexual orientation. I hope the thought police understand how and why that's relevant & important.

Another reason to love the NBA

It's the first legislative week of the year, and the House AND the Senate have both seen successful motions to discharge a committee. The 119th Congress, everyone.

1. They murdered Renee Nicole Good. 2. They fled the scene of her murder. 3. They stopped a doctor from rendering aid to her. 4. They lied to protect the man who murdered her. 5. AND THEN THEY DESECRATED a memorial to her.

It’s great that the champions and defenders of Western Culture are censoring Plato. The moral panic over accurately teaching about American racism was always about disciplining professors in general. We’re a check on propaganda, which propagandists hate.

Five years ago.

Hegseth didn’t have the courage to give Mark Kelly a trial by court martial because he knew he would lose it and be humiliated. So he is taking the cowardly way out. Whatever action he takes unilaterally will discredit US military civilian leadership and be reversed in 3 years.

In competitive authoritarian regimes, the government deters and undermines opposition by using its powers to inflict costs on those who challenge it rather than recognizing their legitimacy as democratic opponents

Donald Trump Jr. joined Polymarket's board of advisors in Aug 2025

Justice in the American system is supposed to be blind and impartial—but attorney General Pam Bondi’s vow of wrathful punishment for Nicolás Maduro and his wife is “profoundly illiberal, suggesting a lust for criminal vengeance,” Paul Rosenzweig argues:

People be hating on Lubbock but this is a pretty awesome way to spend a Saturday afternoon on the patio
