American Concentration Camps. People need to go to prison for ever allowing this to occur, never mind actually overseeing and constructing them.

i genuinely wish the democratic national committee was as powerful, organized and ruthless as a lot of people seem to think it is

Pam Bondi’s portrait was taken down at DOJ and tossed in a trash bin soon after her firing. MS NOW obtained the photo. The move reflects how deeply unpopular she was among career officials. Ken Dilanian & Carol Leonnig scoop www.ms.now/news/pam-bon...

Senator Chris Murphy, "The Strait of Hormuz was open before the war began" "We are now seeking to solve a problem that we created" "This is insanity"

Ossoff: "The WH put out a video depicting this war as a video game. When service members are returning in flag-draped coffins, & even more have lost limbs or suffered brain injuries or are fighting for their lives, this WH treats war like a game. It's a disgrace. And it speaks to a moral rot."

They hate me because I fight. They attack me because I win. I will do everything I can to protect free and fair elections. I will never back down.

There are concentration camps in America. In “The Destruction of the European Jews”, Raul Hilberg details how the initial concentration camps were built, much like this, hastily and simply for the purpose of holding people until they could be put on to their final place. It was only later 1/2

if you’re very worried about being declared an enemy of the state posting on Bluesky, or really anywhere, is an odd choice

Between seizing ballots in Georgia, trying to leverage Minnesota to turn over its sensitive voter data, and political prosecutions, the DOJ is laying the groundwork to subvert the 2026 elections. I created Democracy Docket for times like this. Help it grow by supporting it now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

it is beautiful how we are having another moment of Bluesky unity. everybody basking in the glow of how Ilhan Omar was very visibly gonna punch that dude in the mouth

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

People who say this are clearly speaking aspirationally about a shared American creed they hold dear. “Have you heard of the Trail of Tears?” is not a very helpful response, because they probably have and the priority right now is moral opposition to fascism and not fake-educating each other.

I've heard others say it and I'm really feeling it too. We should definitely embrace the American flag as part of the resistance to fascism and the authoritarian government. It must stand as a symbol of decency and democracy, not what the GOP is trying to rebrand it as.

Eric Swalwell answering a question on how the next governor of California will protect Californians from ICE. “They're going to lose their immunity. They're not going to be able to drive. I will take your driver's license. Good luck walking to work, assholes.”

Abolishing ICE is the bare minimum. We need to dismantle DHS. We need restitution. And we need trials.

🔥 AL GORE: “We already have way too many subservient cowards in Congress, the last thing we need is to send another one (Van Epps 🤖) — you can make tomorrow the turning point for our country by getting out and voting for Rep. @aftynbehn.bsky.social .” #TN7 Full: www.threads.com/@thetnholler...

If you receive an illegal order, you have a duty to disobey. This isn’t controversial. A President calling for the execution of anyone who reminds service members of this oath is showing us why the duty to disobey illegal orders is so important in the first place.

The American people will choose their government in November 2026 and woe be unto anyone that tries to get in the way of that.

The more I think about it the more I feel like the democrats aren’t making out too bad here. They get an ACÁ vote to get Republican senators on record, SNAP is funded for a full year, government workers get their back pay and some breathing space, and Democrats can pick this back up in

So far 8 Dems vote for cloture, more than enough if all republicans are isn support: -Cortez Masto -Durbin -Fetterman -Hassan -Kaine -King -Rosen -Shaheen

Looking at the GOP acting electorally suicidally and saying “they’re not acting like they’re planning on having elections” is like watching someone driving 90mph at a brick wall and being like “wow they must have figured out a way for this not to kill them.”

The idea that having cheap, delicious Italian pasta ‘dumped’ into the country is somehow something to be avoided cuts to the root of how absurd tariffs are

I saw the Washington Post editorial on redistricting today and this is my official response.

I know they’re both accomplished impressive women in their own right, but I honestly have a hard time telling Spanberger and Sherrill apart from each other in pictures. Is it just me?

this is the most successful a CIA officer has been at toppling a government in years.

Once people see we still have free and fair elections today, it’s over for these hoes.

I've given my new Senator a lot of shit on here. But I don't think anyone with power has laid out the stakes of what we're facing as clearly as she does right here. And if she's saying this, it's because she feels she must.

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice. This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

Rep. Rosa DeLauro: "On the food stamp issue, the money is there! Let them not get away with saying they can't do it. Their political will isn't there to feed the people who rely on the SNAP program which is the most effective anti-hunger program in the USA."

He’s a 9, but when you asked what podcasts he listens to the first one he named was “Bad Faith”

Send troops to San Francisco and we will sue you.

As a matter of current law, could the president just…knock down the entire White House? Just raze the whole thing to the ground?

As a gay, reading the examples of posts I can’t help but find them milquetoast at best. I laud the efforts to change the culture of using gay as a stand in pejorative but it seems like cancel culture in the worst spirit to say these comments preclude him from ever being an ally.

No, when the military is killing it means things have gone wrong. This guy has no understanding of a true warrior ethos. The fact that he kept saying "we" like he is still in uniform was offensive by itself.

An instantly-leaked internal bulletin at the politicized federal law enforcement agencies just so happens to say what the Trump admin and its allies want it to say. This is how it works in authoritarian regimes, the cops are too busy with propaganda and repression to actually solve crimes.

Even if the outcome is the same -- the Republican majorities + Trump get what they want -- I think there is value in *performing* opposition, in two ways. First, it motivates the base. Second, it dramatizes the conflict to draw the attention of the politically inattentive.

Why don’t you send everyone proof of life first? (Either way, Chicago doesn’t want you here)

what I want out of the next president is someone who thinks general sherman didn't go far enough

The President shouldn’t get to pick the Attorney General going forward.

so, the thing about Hunter Biden is that, yes, he’s a princeling, but, unlike most of our political class, he has faced actual adversity. that’s why he comes off as a fighter. because he’s fought.

If the Supreme Court thinks universal injunctions are unconstitutional, to wait until *now* to say that, in this of all cases, with this of all presidents, is a devastating indictment of both its impartiality and its prudence.

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

The American Inquisition

We need to do something about the federal government using blue state tax money to terrorize blue states with federal law enforcement.
