But but but she's a savvy operator and to say otherwise is just jealousy and sexism.

I went into a MAGA TikTok live (it’s a sickness) to try to understand the arguments for annexing Greenland. They were so incoherent I can’t even summarize them.

This is 100% correct and the EU should do it immediately. The USA will break if a bunch of entitled Americans suddenly can’t book get-aways in Paris.

Van Hollen: "I am not going to cast a vote -- not one dime -- to support this lawless, brutal Trump ICE operation"

ICE ended up returning the man, Saly, after realizing he’s a fucking US citizen with no criminal record, per his sister-in-law. These fucking animals.

He always sounds like an 11 year old boy who just red an entry in the encyclopedia. (Or maybe had it read to him.)

Democrats could act like a real opposition party, refusing to validate Trump malfeasance with votes, and setting up a shadow cabinet that regularly communicates how Democrats would be different. But nah. It’s not only a majority of Democratic voters that hate this approach. US allies see it too.

"Graham, a 34-year old Greensboro, North Carolina police officer, is the seventh instance ProPublica has investigated in which a pregnant woman in a state that significantly restricted abortion died after she was unable to access standard care..." www.propublica.org/article/nort...

Americans are so accustomed to this basically peaceful, prosperous, and open world that they tend to think it is the normal state of international affairs, likely to continue indefinitely. They can’t imagine it unraveling, much less what that unraveling will mean for them. And who can blame them? 🙋‍♀️

Anyone in the Minneapolis area have a steam cleaner I could borrow for a few days? Like the kind that actually produces steam. I want to clean some floors and things.

Losing my mind at the Dems with their billionaire backers and powerful friends who have come up with the brilliant strategy that the party should adopt the policy positions of the avg MAGA voter — apparently ignoring that independents and swing voters even exist. Is this what $40 million gets you??

“If we have to choose between the USA and Denmark here and now, we choose Denmark. We choose NATO, the Kingdom of Denmark, and the EU.” trib.al/5fVjvXt

The shadow cabinet idea was a great idea and should have been implemented a year ago. Would have presented an organized, unified response to the chaos, issue by issue, by people with expertise.

I keep getting these Pendragon Cycle trailers fed to me on youtube and um please stop.

This is one of the biggest failures of the Biden Admin: They did GREAT things to improve the lives of Americans and then basically told no one about it. They got the wheels of government churning FOR people but instead of bragging about it, they’d post a shrimpy announcement on one obscure website.

The incredibly lukewarm Democratic response on Greenland is being noticed in Europe, incidentally. Chuck Schumer not finding a stronger word than “quixotic” for Trump’s plan to seize Greenland has been name checked to me more than once.

There's no return to status quo normalcy the day after Trump (or Vance) is gone. That is only the start of a period, for some years, of reconstruction to establish a new constitutional settlement. And that means, by necessity, extraordinary measures not necessarily intended to be permanent features.

Don’t forget Good’s widow. So the mourning spouse, the mayor, and the governor are under criminal investigation. But not the cops who shot her three times, called her a “fucking bitch,” and denied her medical care.

The smug dismissiveness of objective reality in order to maintain their illusion of normalcy is quite something.

The risk of malfeasance in the November election is real, and serious. But the Trump administration doesn't have a magic wand. It has tools of repression. And we have tools of resistance.

People in Seattle need to identify and publicly name this cop. The public needs to know which miscreant--who they are paying to exercise the power to deprive people of life and liberty--is walking around with a "let's fuck people up" mindset.

The killer of Renee Good proudly RECORDED THE KILLING. Body cams won't stop this. And "training" just gives ICE more money to train its agents to keep doing what they're doing. Abolish ICE. Defund it entirely. If @booker.senate.gov is your senator, please call him what you think. (202) 224-3224

Deutsche Bank here with the good stuff. Game on.

😚👌

It's precisely because we respect the "academic enterprise" that we criticize someone who proudly states that they're just trying be edgy and provocative by lazily churning out a half-baked historical argument in service of authoritarianism.

this site seems to genuinely have an issue with viewing explanation as a form of endorsement

In the last 18 days alone: - Two men in ICE custody have killed themselves (jails are supposed to protect against this) - Two men died of cardiac-related issues - One man was reportedly choked to death by a guard - One man died of fentanyl withdrawal (family question the medical care provided)

How much more in your face can it be? "Why are you asking me for my paperwork?" "Because of your accent." "You have an accent too." "Where were you born sir?" "Where were you born at?" "Put your hands behind your back."

This is important & revealing. Gallego is from AZ. He ran to the right of Dems in 2024 on immigration. The fact he's saying this speaks volumes. He sees where the public is on ICE. Tear it down. Build another non-police-state-freak-show immigration enforcement agency.

Every time the Trump regime uses the words "funded protesters" and "outside agitators" news outlets need to cut to this photo from last week. ICE has invaded these communities. Outside agitators don't show up in their fucking bathrobes.

A joke for the history buffs: Germany’s satirical newspaper @der-postillon.com titles: “Vienna Academy of the Arts offers Trump admission as a student — They don’t want to get blamed again“

Update: The admin is moving to quickly deport witnesses who saw ICE detainee die. They say the man was just trying to get his meds. ICE guards shackled him Then they choked him. The admin moved to deport the witnesses — right after they spoke to WaPo. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

Randomly reading some of the accounts here is dark. www.ice.gov/detain/detai...

Thank god we have these prune sucking schoolmarms to hold cursing Democratic leaders to account. Fuck I hate this shit so much. Two weeks into a Federal invasion of a Midwestern city & these equivocating dipsticks are still scolding the mayor, as if a profanity excuses calling in armed brownshirts.

Noem's claim is FALSE. Here is ICE's own data on the detention population among those arrested by ICE: - 43% no criminal record (up from 6% at the start of the year), - 29% at least one prior conviction* - 28% at least one pending charge *most common are traffic and immigration offenses.

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.

What's the point of forcing hacks and lickspittles into control of a media arm, if you can't count on them to cover your ass in the edit? The funniest thing about this mess is if they'd let CBS spin the interview, the result would've been less embarrassing for them.

NOEM IS LYING. I have seen people get taken! It was the same each time: armed men racing out of a blacked-out SUV, seizing a screaming or fleeing pedestrian, and pulling them into the car without any attempt to even learn their identity. Always a person alone on the street. Always a person of color.

An instant classic. 🤡

Youngkin returned the state to a Jim Crow-era policy on voting rights; now voters can end that for good.

People in Minnesota are now using their key fobs to trigger their car alarms from the safety of their homes when they see ICE walking around.

If you’re a telecom lawyer with perspective on President Trump’s planned order on the Army-Navy football game broadcast, would love to hear from you. Can find me at Dan_Diamond.01 on signal or [email protected].

Watching this MS panel try and pin down a Congressman on do you want to abolish, dismantle, do you want it to go, and I'm quite sure these same people will opine about how Democrats are getting tied into knots over slogans.

This is correct I've seen this exact belief expressed innumerable times in white supremacist rhetoric, literature, and social spaces It's not a new belief either. It's depicted in The Turner Diaries & well before that.

How many kids were sacrificed for this prick to just get shivved?

My last two shots before my world went dark.

I’m thinking how a lot of folks extolled the insightfulness of Bill Clinton when he said it’s better to be seen as strong and wrong rather than weak and right, and that’s exactly what Trump, et al are currently banking on, so maybe that was always kinda a morally vacuous position.
