NOEM: “We can’t trust the government anymore.” BASH: “You are the government.” NOEM: “Yes, that’s what I’m saying.”🤔 The only honest thing @KristiNoem said today

This is the second time in three months a DHS agent called a US citizen a "bitch" as he shot her. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/whos-threa...

If a federal agent tries to assault you, just scream "JOE BIDEN STOLE THE 2020 ELECTION" It's apparently like an Uno Reverse card. Now *you* get to assault the cops without any penalty. Beat them with a flagpole, use mace or bear spray on them, whatever. I'm sure the lawyers here will back me up.

Republicans somehow managed to sprint from “we’re trying to protect women in sports” straight to defending a woman being shot in the head three times at point blank range for trying to drive away from a masked thug.

ken did a really great thread here that nicely articulates why i block doomers. the only thing i’ll add is this: doomerism is a form of voter suppression. saying shit like “there won’t be elections” is saying there’s no point in fighting. it’s demotivating. fuck that.

Philadelphia Sheriff Rochelle Bilal warns ICE: "No law enforcement professional wears a mask... Those that come into our communities wearing a mask to commit crime... You getting arrested". "Fake wannabe law enforcement... The criminal in the WH will not be able to keep you from going to jail".

ICE agent Jonathan Ross killed Renee Nicole Good, 37, while she was in her car on Jan. 7. The fatal shooting was at least the 9th time ICE agents have shot into cars since September. At least 5 people have been killed in Trump's immigration crackdown. 32 others died in ICE custody last year.

We’re mobilizing across the country this weekend to honor Renee Nicole Good, demand accountability for ICE’s killing of Renee, and make visible the human cost of ICE’s terror: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

May Day is planning a national day of action this Saturday January 10th to send a clear message to Big Oil corporations like Chevron and hedge fund owned Citgo that we will not let them drag the US into an occupation to pad their profits.

Members of Congress: stop posting online and APPEAR, PHYSICALLY on the steps of the Capitol to decry this unconstitutional violation of domestic & international law. SHOW THE PEOPLE the level of danger we are facing as a country. @housedemocrats.bsky.social @senatedemocrats.bsky.social

At the Pentagon's request, NY Times and Washington Post withheld reporting on impending Venezuela invasion so that news would not be leaked to 80 or so innocent Venezuelan citizens that they were about to fucking die.

Seriously though what's the phone number for ICE so I can report two alleged criminals from Venezuela who are being brought here illegally?

If you don't think the capture of Nicolas Maduro has made the world safer, just remember how the death of Saddam Hussein brought stability to the region and a lasting peace to the world.

The aging pedophile who wants to be a king has kidnapped the leader of a sovereign nation without congressional approval. If the United States had an opposition party, they would treat this as an illegitimate act and start impeachment proceedings immediately.

Julie K. Brown is a reporter for the Miami Herald who did groundbreaking work on Epstein beginning in 2018, including groundbreaking work on the disgusting coverup by Alex Acosta. Her travel itinerary was released with some of the Epstein files. It appears the DOJ was monitoring her in 2019.

And detainees are held for much long periods of time than needed so that these companies can charge more and make billions extra. It’s state sanctioned human trafficking.

“People already have health issues down there, are already fighting cancers and lung diseases. They don’t need more,” Mello said.

Gotta say, as a survivor, I’m not super loving this thing where the Department of Justice is running a cover-up of evidence the President sexually abused minors.

Having to watch a bootlegged copy of a video from another country because my country censored it is making me feel as if I'm living in 1980s Eastern Germany.

There is no question about it: Alito, Thomas, Roberts, and the three Trump Supreme Court appointees are all GOP partisan hacks. Pass term limits. Expand the court. Enact an enforceable code of ethics. We must keep pushing Democrats to enact court reform.

the house just authorized a $900 billion expenditure for the military. unlike health care and education nobody ever bothers to ask "BUT hoW wIll you Pay FOR It?"

People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!

If you make a billion dollars — or $500 million or even $100 million dollars — and you keep trying to make more, then there is something seriously wrong with you. It's a mental illness akin to hoarding or drug addiction.

It’s been two weeks since ICE took Yuanxin Zheng from his father. He is six years old. He’s still not home. This has to end.

It may sound radical, but if one guy has so much wealth and power that he can use the large newspaper he owns to publicly threaten to ruin a service we all rely on, presumably as a bargaining tactic to get lower rates, we probably need to tax that guy until he can't do that anymore.

A spokesman for the Department of the Defense insists that Secretary Hegseth tried to contact the survivors on the Venezuelan boat by Signal chat several times before firing the second missile.

8/ A public service reminder: This entire exercise is an absurd, imaginary world for legal experts. That's because the truth is: It's not an armed conflict. The laws of war thus don't apply. The more restrictive rules of human rights apply. It's extrajudicial killing under that law.
