I thought 2025 was pretty 💩, but 2026 is already sprinting for the lead. RIP, queen. 😭

A staple of authoritarian states: using their executive power to arbitrarily revoke privileges & selectively punish political opponents, in this case for peaceful and lawful behaviour. The courts are failing under this broad assault on the rule of law.

Local advocacy matters.

When cooking with meat lately, I've been experimenting with ways to stretch/bulk up the recipe, and my go-to lately has been to add zucchini to things. It absorbs the flavor of whatever it's cooked into because it has almost no flavor of its own, adds nutrition & moisture, & most of all, it's cheap.

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people. But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.

Warnock on the arrest of Don Lemon: It’s chilling, and I think that is the intent. They intend to send chills down the backs of journalists. The authoritarian march is happening in real time, and it’s way past the time to wake up.

NEW: Elon Musk has insisted that Jeffrey Epstein invited him to the notorious island and he declined. But new emails show the opposite -- Musk was practically begging to party with Epstein in the Caribbean, years after Epstein's sex convictions were public knowledge futurism.com/future-socie...

Why does Pam Bondi hate Georgia Fort? "Georgia Fort is a three-time Midwest Emmy award-winning journalist who was one of two journalists in the courtroom for the sentencing of Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, who was convicted of murdering George Floyd." www.startribune.com/who-is-georg...

For decades the Right has daydreamed about saving their country from monsters, they finally got the chance and it turns out they love the monsters. The monsters are even monstrous in the exact ways they fantasized about! You never have to listen to these guys about anything again

They also do not even have the institutional backing to successfully prosecute their chosen examples. Remember that Sandwich guy was acquitted.

🎻 That's what you get for trying to grift your way into MORE power.

This Thread outlines the mindboggling stupidity of 🍊🦆💩's threat to Canadian aircraft: www.threads.com/@todmaffin/p...

Despite Trump’s relentless attempts to bury them, a fresh pot of Epstein scandals is starting to boil over.

This can't be true, I was told many times that every American parent wants to have their local Republican congressman performing genital inspections in the middle school girls locker room before every gym class

You think? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

MINNESOTA — Mom goes outside to warm up her car, ICE grabs her: "Please, my car kids are all alone in the house!” So nothing has changed and Homan was just to put a new face on the cruelty, got it (H/T longtimehistory)

The tide is turning. Which means now is the time to push harder than ever. Tell your Representatives we want Noem GONE! #ICEOffOurStreets

I feel very strongly that now is the time for NIMBY’s to shine. Every regulatory and procedural lever should be tested. Slow them down.

1% of the Epstein Files have been released and 3 people have been killed by ICE since the deadline passed. We 100% know why.

Not just carrying trauma - these are the kind of events that radicalize people. Andhra these events are ripples; they do not affect just one person.

Can you imagine trying to learn when your classmates and their parents are disappearing? All of these kids are going to carry trauma for life.

Seems like one of those issues that should greatly concern everyone regardless of their politics.

Trump and Homan telling Minnesota they’ll pull out when they cooperate is the same as Trump and Putin telling Zelenskyy that the war will end as soon as Ukraine quits fighting, which is the same as Trump telling a women she won’t get hurt if she just complies. Trump is a predator.

Something else we don’t talk about enough wrt disability: the sheer boredom that arises from constant pain and exhaustion keeping you from doing anything but surviving

IMO the president should not be allowed to sic his own lawyers against government lawyers who at this point are also just his lawyers in order to steal the annual GDP of a small country from American taxpayers.

The difference between Nazis of the late 1930s and CBP agents today is that CPB agents are too cowardly to show their faces

Tomorrow you will go to work, earn an honest paycheck, and have your tax dollars used to fund a global crime spree. The U.S. military kidnapped two people taking them out of SCOTTISH custody in the middle of the night. Scotland is an ally. www.bbc.com/news/article...

🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 Prices went up a lot this past year, thou beslubbering fat-kidneyed horn-beast.

really funny the dems have let the feds run out the clock on not releasing the epstein files. even more reason not to fund this govt but ICE must go on

🔥🔥🔥 This 🔥🔥🔥

Seems a good time to remember that immigrants ADD $299 billion in spending to our economy. Foreign tourists add $600 million PER DAY to our economy, and 🧊's actions, & 🍊🦆💩's BS, has has caused at least a 10% drop in tourists.

Using taxpayer money to terroize taxpayers Instead of say…FEEDING AMERICA 🤬🤬🤬🤬 www.military.com/daily-news/2...

it’s giving demented colonel mustard

Like, maybe body cameras aren't the problem when the guy who shot Renee Good and let her bleed out for 10 minutes literally recorded the murder on his own damn phone

It's worse than that, though, because ICE isn't just ignoring observers and killing people anyway. They are intentionally surveilling people and using Palantir or whatever other facial recognition technology they can to identify their victims. Giving them another mandatory tool seems...bad?

The Dem addiction to body cameras for police was born in good faith, a result of the fact that police lie about pretty much every single violent or fatal interaction with civilians. But that's not the problem with ICE. ICE just straight up kills people when they know everyone is recording.

“Most of the crew members who worked on Melania Trump's documentary in New York requested not to have their names formally credited…” 😬 www.irishstar.com/culture/ente...

INBOX: @ajc.com found that through the first nine months of the second Trump administration, ICE recorded more than 8,500 confirmed arrests in Georgia, the fourth-most prolific state behind TX, FL, and CA. Fewer than 1/3 of those arrested (!) were convicted criminals, and 112 (!!) were children.

They keep saying LGBTQIA people are sick, but you know who is TRULY sick in the head? These people. These people who ARE NOT protecting our children from being deported, terrorized, & sexually assaulted, but who claim children are being "mass mutilated" & turned trans.

Tennessee Governor candidate and crazy as hell MAGA Republican Monte Fritts who wants the death penalty for women who use a morning after abortion pill also wants to expand the death penalty to parents of trans kids. Let that sink in. Fritts may soon be Tennessee‘s Governor. #USDemocracy #ProudBlue

The Reutersjournalist in the image below has worked all over the world and is deeply experienced in military and intelligence matters. His post should alarm you.

Checking in on Trump's tariffs

To understand how crazy, and dangerous, this move is, just realize that Trump is now declaring that FAA airplane safety certifications will henceforth be made by politicians who know absolutely nothing about aircraft safety. If you thought a door falling off was bad, just wait for what's next.

Smells like disobeying a lawful order to me. Shitcan him so he can go get a 8 figure job as a corporate security consultant and put someone in there that's onside.

If I were the mayor or council of Los Angeles, I would simply fire the police chief and hire someone willing to enforce the law

This is so unhinged

They caved for two weeks. Schumer is a lost cause. Senate Dems need a strong leader who can hold them all accountable. This is ridiculous.
