I’m glad that Congresswoman Omar is safe. Our state has been shattered by political violence in the last year. The cruel, inflammatory, dehumanizing rhetoric by our nation’s leaders needs to stop immediately. www.startribune.com/man-tackled-...

“I watched him die… then I watched them maneuver his body like a rag doll— only to discover it was because they wanted to count the bullet wounds and see how many they ‘got’, like he was a deer.”

It appears there were more people protesting Trump outside his venue in Iowa than there were to hear him speak inside the venue…in Iowa.

Toughest congressperson in America rears back for a punch, and refuses to cut short townhall, after asshole sprays her with something.

DUCKWORTH: If it's true that we are not at war with Venezuela, will you advise the president to rescind his invocation of the wartime Alien Enemies Act? RUBIO: That was a mechanism to remove people from our country that present great danger D: It's a wartime act. Are we currently at war? R: No

The paranoid who stockpiled guns in case of a government invasion have become the invaders. The people who scream "Don't tread on me" are screaming it while shooting others and crushing them under foot. People claiming to be "patriots" are destroying America to benefit Putin and line Trump's vaults.

Way to go, Philadelphia! The city has introduced new legislation putting real limits on ICE activity. Federal agents will no longer be allowed to operate anonymously no masks, visible identification required, and arrests must be backed by warrants signed by a federal judge.

We are being trained to accept things that would have been unthinkable a few years ago. Federal force used casually & defended reflexively. Legal limits dismissed as technicalities. Open talk of dictatorship reframed as realism. None of this is normal. And none of it is accidental. -- George Conway

CNN in Minneapolis: We are seeing thousands and thousands of people, we've been standing on the corner here for the past ten minutes. This this crowd has not let up. It's just continuous.

New in PN: 'Abolish ICE' is imperative "There's no amount of training that can instill basic humanity in thugs who willingly mistreat women, children, and old men. ICE agents reportedly dined at a Mexican restaurant in MN before arresting employees. How will 'training' fix that level of depravity?"

Aaron Rupar is an American hero.

But sure—tell me how it’s the liberals who are “coming for your freedoms,” won’t you. open.substack.com/pub/jojofrom...

Trump couldn’t get a judge to issue an arrest warrant for Don Lemon, so he had Bondi do it. Because of fucking course he did. And of fucking course she did.

I hope Don Lemon sues the motherfucking hell out of the federal government.

Chris Hayes: Federal law enforcement increasingly acts at the directions and whims of the aspiring dictator. And in the last few weeks, they have shot and killed two citizens who stood in their way. The wolf is at the door, America.

Don Lemon’s Arrest Escalates DOJ Crackdown on Black Journalists and Activists

NBC News is reporting on emails from Elon Musk and Howard Lutnick but they are not mentioning anything about Trump

Bernie speaks the truth. He’s a National Treasure 💙

#Congress #Jeffires #Schumer #DV1 #ProudBlue When Congress retreats, democracy shrinks. When one person gains too much power, everyone else loses it.

Nailed it. Shame on you, Bezos.

Trump: "I call them Kevin 1, Kevin 2. I said, it's gonna be a Kevin."

I saw a sticker the other day that said, “Apparently rock bottom has a basement.” I think that’s where we are right now.

Shame on this administration and its cover-ups! www.theguardian.com/us-news/live...

support a funding package that does not include accountability and meaningful reforms to end this violence. Although ongoing bipartisan negotiations to reform ICE and protect our communities are a step in the right direction, these critical reforms must be enshrined in the law to earn my support.

A reminder: Rümeysa Öztürk has now been facing deportation for 311 days for co-writing an op-ed the government didn’t like, and journalist Ya’akub Vijandre remains locked up by ICE over social media posts about issues he reported on. Read our newsletter (and subscribe) ⤵️

There is no doubt that Trump will engage in more extreme conduct as his favorability erodes further and he begins to lose his death grip on the Republican Party. As he weakens, our ability to resist will increase as we march toward victory in 2026. Democracy Docket

We the people are rising while Trump’s regime is fracturing and falling back on its heels. All we can do is keep going, keep inviting friends in, and trust that a nonviolent, massive people-powered movement is the one thing that can, repeatedly has, and will defeat fascists. Jessica Craven

Instead of investigating the federal agents who killed two peaceful Minnesota protesters, the Department of Justice is devoting its power to silencing those who dare document the fallout. That inversion of priorities is not incidental—it is ideological. George Cummings

This make you uncomfortable? Good! Because this isn’t history, it’s reality and what ICE has normalized.

It's near-white out conditions in Chicago as the snow comes down, and tonight's anti-ICE/CBP rally is wrapping up in front of city hall. But not before the crowd bounces and chants, "I believe that we will win!"

Trump’s Republicans are doing everything they told us the Democrats would do. Every accusation is a confession.

Once Trump is gone, they should add an exhibit about his racism. And how it hurt society. bsky.app/profile/chri...

A federal judge warned Justice Department lawyers that their statements on a slavery exhibit display in Philadelphia were "horrifying." "You can’t erase history once you’ve learned it. It doesn’t work that way"

Melanie Stansbury: “Arresting journalists. Raiding election offices. Invading American cities. Committing violence against our own people. The worst of what we feared is here — it’s time for any of my colleagues sitting on the sidelines to do something & stand up”

New Mexico, I thank you again for hiring an ACTUAL representative.

Florida's next governor:

BREAKING NEWS! A prime minister catches on to something most of us knew 11 years ago.

Trump / January 2021: “I just want to find 11,780 votes.”

They tried intimidation. Minnesota answered with people.

Ousted from Hollywood because at least 6 young women credibly accused him of sexual assault and rape. But i guess okay at Mar aLago
