Trump Screwed America In Venezuela America isn't going to get "the oil," or lower prices, or reduced inflation. The country will put our troops at risk, an expensive military action, and completely screwed the US in Venezuela. -Jason Easley open.substack.com/pub/politicu...

Wow— “Cardinal Tobin told hundreds of faithful gathered online that now is the time to say no — no to violence, no to indifference, and no to funding the U.S. government’s own “machinery of death.” www.thelettersfromleo.com/p/pope-leos-...

Alex Pretti demonstrated the right kind of masculinity MAGA is obsessed with "masculinity"' — Pretti showed them what it really looks like.

(WaPo: last free article) The Chief Judge in Minnesota has had it and is requiring the head of ICE operations to appear in Court on Friday. Highly unusual, but necessary due to the impudence of Trump ICE officials. Look for a tense hearing on Friday. wapo.st/3LBorov

The commander of President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown in Minneapolis is leaving the city after federal agents fatally shot two people in less than three weeks.

🚨 NEWS: Judiciary Democrats are demanding answers from AG Pam Bondi after DOJ refused to investigate the homicides of U.S. citizens Renée Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, shut down a civil rights investigation, and obstructed accountability.

I remembered this all too well. All he wanted was to control the crowds, not justice. He didn't care what was all about when they protested the George Floyd's police brutality in Minneapolis. He wanted a photo op with a Bible upside down in his hand. He was a phony, immoral idiot sob.

There's got to be some accountability. Just demoting/re-assigning some recognizable faces does nothing. People need to go to prison.

Sen. John Fetterman is calling on Trump to fire DHS Secretary Kristi Noem.

This Wall Street Journal article by Evan Gershkovich is worth bookmarking for anyone who still isn't taking Trump's love of Putin seriously. I really think it needs to be made an issue again in the midterms, just how horrifying it is to have a president in thrall to this www.wsj.com/world/russia...

Perfectly stated by President @billclinton.bsky.social. "If we give our freedoms away after 250 years, we might never get them back. "It is up to all of us who believe in the promise of American democracy to stand up, speak out, and show that our nation still belongs to We the People."

all for love

The vibe shift is real. Keep the pressure on.

🚨BREAKING: State election leaders and voting rights advocates across the country are blasting U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi for exploiting the killing of a U.S. citizen in Minneapolis by a federal immigration officer to “blackmail” Minnesota into handing over access to its unredacted voter rolls.

Let me know when Trump does something besides rearrange the deck chairs on his Titanic.

27 January 1914 | Austrian Jewish woman, Greta Gross, was born in Wien. She emigrated to France. She was deported to #Auschwitz from #Drancy on 29 July 1942. She did not survive. --- ▶ Video about the history of Auschwitz: https://youtu.be/Fxnl5HTygrs

Insurers sometimes deny coverage citing lack of progress, labeling patients’ conditions as chronic. Yet if they do make progress, insurers have also used that to argue patients no longer need treatment. Doctors are left to walk a tightrope. (Published Dec. 2024)

The shooting deaths of two American citizens during the Trump administration’s deportation operations in Minneapolis have upended the politics of immigration in Congress, plunging the country toward another government shutdown.

We need Stephen Miller out.

“Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and her close adviser Corey Lewandowski, who were Bovino’s biggest backers at DHS, are also at risk of losing their jobs…” Noem shot a puppy to death, and Lewandowski is an alleged sex pest. Trump’s DHS is rotten from the top down.

NEW: The Atlantic reports Greg Bovino has been REMOVED from his role as Border Patrol “Commander at Large” and will return to his former job in El Centro, California, where he is expected to retire soon. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and “adviser” Corey Lewandowski are at risk of losing their jobs.

A federal court handed the DOJ its third loss in its hunt for states’ unredacted voter rolls, and dismissed its lawsuit against Georgia for filing in the wrong district. The decision comes after federal judges dismissed two similar lawsuits against California and Oregon.

Donald Trump Wants This Chaos.It Means More Power in His Hands. newrepublic.com/article/2056... via @newrepublic.com

I hope Kristi Noem understands when Trump puts her down. If it is a choice between his MAGA agenda and a dangerous animal, Trump will choose his MAGA agenda. Karma, Kristi.

Bovino was not just following orders but he’s no rogue - like everyone in this murderous lawless admin he must be held totally responsible for his words and deeds & that should not get any higher ups off the hook but have the opposite effect. He served as he was let go: at the president’s pleasure.

Nearly half of the databases that the CDC used to update regularly — surveillance systems that tracked public health information like Covid vaccination rates and hospitalizations for respiratory syncytial virus — have been paused without explanation, according to new research.

New from me and @zeyiyang.bsky.social: Many people noticed that TikTok glitched out over the weekend, as people across the country attempted to post about ICE raids in MN. The company says it was a data center outage, but that hasn't quelled suspicions of censorship. www.wired.com/story/tiktok...

Chris Madel: "The president posted something on Truth Social saying it was a time of reckoning and retribution on the citizens of my state, and I've seen that happen and I cannot be a part of it, and I can't be a part of a party that's a part of that"

BREAKING: A federal judge is weighing Attorney General Pam Bondi’s blackmail letter to Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as evidence that the administration is using the presence of armed federal agents as coercion to achieve policy goals. trib.al/Vm5nYNk

The world really does owe a yuge favour to George Orwell, don’t they?

Bill Bramhall, NY Daily News

So simply naming someone is doxxing, but taking photos and license plate numbers to create a database of the opposition for government stalking and harassment purposes is not? Naming someone is not doxxing them, and moving them to another city to kill more is conspiracy against rights.

As we continue to mourn the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, we also must lift the stories of the 32 people who died in ICE custody just last year. In December, 6 people died in ICE’s custody — the deadliest month in the history of the agency. It is shameful, and it must end.

Whistles have taken on an important symbolic meaning in the fight against Trump's fascist policies. Let's use this. 3D printers firing up.

Wow. I want to know where Pretti’s phone is. Have ICE agents sold it? I want to know whose IcE fingerprints are on Pretti’s gun. I want to k ow which ICE agents fired their guns into an already deceased Pretti. And I want to k ow which gunshot killed him.

Money is the ideology, the language and the religion of Trump's MAGA. Hit em where it hurts. Extended national economic strike.

Is the government ever going to release the name of the masked agent who killed Alex Pretti or are we going to continue to have a federal secret police in this country?

After an ICE agent shot and killed the Minneapolis mother, conservative media launched an all-out attack on her reputation. Her identity as a queer woman was central to it.

ICE officers began forcibly entering homes without judicial warrants last summer. An internal document — dated May 12, 2025, but just made public by two whistleblowers — told officers they could rely on an administrative warrant to enter homes if there was an order to remove someone from the U.S.

Rep. Scalise, along with this administration and the majority of the GOP, appear not to know or understand that exercising one’s First Amendment rights is not impeding law enforcement, and that peacefully protesting or bearing witness are not crimes.

They apparently don’t support the constitution they swore an oath to uphold

They don’t want the videos because they reveal the truth. The footage isn’t the problem, the lies are. When DHS talks, the story collapses. When people film, truth holds. We bear witness because power lies best in the dark. If they won’t tell the truth, we must. open.substack.com/pub/cwebbstu...

If Nancy Mace was assaulted by a Biden supporter, it would be a week-long news cycle and every Democrat in Congress would be asked if they approve or disapprove

Ironic isn’t it? Had an ICE thug been hurt at the very same location 5 minutes earlier, Alex would have dropped everything to save his life. But 5 minutes later….
