NEW: When anti-ICE protesters disrupted a church service, the Trump administration vowed to stop at nothing to protect religious liberty. But congregations across the country who welcome immigrants say ICE has been violating their rights on a mass scale. www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

interesting to think that revolutionary era americans understood themselves as making a break with the “old world” and establishing a new civilization. and crucially, this new civilization rested on republican self-government, not “sovereignty.”

Bad Bunny! The flags of the Americas together just made me burst into tears. What a message. What a messenger. 🇺🇸🇵🇷

this is what im talking about when i say the truth, reality, can and should be weaponized. an easy to understand storyline/image/video that is THE TRUTH can in fact out-shout the lies. we just have to actually try.

All these Trumpers acting so tough are clearly so scared of everything: cities, different cultures, women…

Bear with me for a thread. Republicans have mastered the art of making excuses for horrific things they want and forcing an argument online and in media over the *excuse* rather than the deed. It ends up in completely fake arguments. Rufo & others basically admit this.

Also, by their own standards, the cops protecting the Capitol on Jan 6 should have opened fire all over.

This would be a great question to pose to the White House. If you believe that federal officers can kill individuals who disobey their orders, does that mean you think the Capitol Police should have opened fire on January 6th? Do you think Ashli Babbitt deserved to die and others should have too?

Neither Ross nor the 2nd agent say any words like: “We’re federal agents." “You’re under arrest.” “You’re impeding a federal investigation.” “You need to leave.” From video footage, Renee & her wife taunted these agents on a public street. Not interfering in any immigration arrest. 👇🧵

white guys who want to sneer at the resolve of liberal and left wing white women right now: this is a superb time to shut the fuck up and go do something useful instead

at some point we're gonna have to have a real conversation about why we're still paying federal taxes to a regime that isn't using them to help anyone, but instead is using them to brutalize us

Perfect of summation of everything I've been feeling since Jan. 20, 2025. "The weight of non-zero." I often feel alone in this, because so many around me somehow don't seem to feel it or let it show, but it's real. Everyday is a new mourning.

That heaviness you feel after events like yesterday is real. We've all accumulated a lot of mental and emotional weight in the first year of Trump's disastrous presidency. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/the-physic...

I don’t know what to say except that human beings deserve better than whatever this is

Democrats need to understand that they can just say “It’s insane to threaten Greenland” and “I don’t think ICE should murder Americans in the street” and you don’t need to pretend to link it to the affordability crisis. Say bad things are bad.

Me, every day since Jan. 3.

This is the kind of thing that the Founders explicitly designed our constitution to prevent; a president who has seized wealth for his own benefit without any intervention from Congress, which in our system is supposed to be the holder of the power of the purse.

imagine telling yourself on january 6, 2021 that five years from now things would be so much worse

The GOP didn't have the votes for many years but that didn't stop them from pulling out every procedural trick possible while screaming at Dems on TV. And now they're in charge.

Imagine having your parents brutally murdered and then having to do this because the fucking President of the United States is so disgusting.

Oh, just get vaccinated (part 5,000) "Many shots seem to have “off-target” benefits, such as lowering the risk of dementia, studies have found." (gift article)

If only the Constitution vested the power to undertake hostilities to Congress.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they?

The Trump admin is what happens when you run the Bush admin through AI.

Soooo, yesterday, Trump was shopping for bathroom tiles while his cabinet, notably Secretary of State Marco Rubio, planned an illegal war. Just how many coups did we have in the last 24 hours? "Who gave the orders and who is POTUS right now" are questions the media should be asking.

"The U.S. (child vaccination) schedule is not a historical accident or the result of bureaucratic overreach. It is the product of decades of rigorous, U.S.-specific epidemiology, modeling and real-world data... Replacing it with Denmark’s schedule is not simplification. It is negligence." 🛟😷 Policy

Pope Leo said in a Christmas Eve sermon that the story of Jesus being born in a stable because there was no room at an inn should remind Christians that refusing to help the poor and strangers today is tantamount to rejecting God himself. For @reuters.com

If you like Christmas so much why don’t you merry it.

I thought the nation’s real anchor was the Constitution — that thing JD Vance took an oath to uphold and defend. Instead of defending it, he just erased the First Amendment.

The CBS 60 Minutes Doc confirms what we knew: The U.S. is currently using our tax dollars to imprison brown people with no criminal record in torture camps overseas. It’s no wonder administration shill Bari Weiss pulled this off the air: www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjY7...

CBS paid the president of the United States millions in bribe money and now they censor news reports so it does not annoy him. I don’t know how much plainer we can put this.

Thirteen years separate Sandy Hook and Brown University. In 13 years countless people have died in schools and malls and concerts. In churches and on street corners. From homicide and firearm suicide and domestic violence and hate and racism and unintentional shootings and police shootings. 1/2

Among Trump’s most un-American, traitorous act since Jan. 6, 2021: denying Americans their right to the citizenship they earned. This is utter treason.

If you've ever been to a naturalization ceremony, you know they're filled with people whose palpable love of this country is twenty times stronger than the pinched "patriotism" of any native-born MAGA chud. Just unspeakable assholery.

This doesn’t add up. If the drugs were not heading to America, how could the people on the boat be a threat to America? www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

the birthright clause was not just written to wipe dred scott off of the books, it was written to repudiate the *idea* behind dred scott, you might say the larger *ideological project* of dred scott. and the whole of section 1 of the 14th amendment is a constitutional statement of political equality

If only U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, MD, chair of the HELP Committee, had the power to do something. /s

How it started / How it’s going

There are specific reasons Trumpists want war on Venezuela, but there‘s a generic one: they crave power to make war on anyone, any time, for completely fabricated reasons, and then to use the guise of war to increase violence and repression everywhere, including home. They are lawless bestial scum.

Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.

I feel like, "Why do Trump's doctors keep administering cognitive exams to him?" is a question the media might want to pursue, if for some reason they were inclined to apply the same standards to a Republican politician that they do to Democratic ones.

Pleased to find myself in the era where millennials have become old enough that lame mass media stuff like football game halftime shows now shamelessly pander to our nostalgia

If this were any party other than the Republican Party the headline would be “Nazis have taken over the party.”

Whoopsie! www.nytimes.com/2025/11/23/u...

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

Zohran flip your hair again we need healthcare get him to give us healthcare.

This will surely surprise most Americans today, but historians have recently discovered that before Donald Trump, it was actually incredibly rare for a president to demand the public execution of this political opponents and press critics.

One of the real revelations of the Epstein emails is that Epstein himself was not especially bright, dispelling the "genius" tag that had always seemed ill fitting. It's almost like there was some other reason rich and powerful men were drawn to him, some other skill he had. Weird.
