Five Guys CEO says he gave a $1.5m bonus to his workers so he wouldn’t get shot in the back www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

If the estimates were right, there were about 9 million people at No Kings rallies today. That would mean this protest was THIRTY TIMES AS LARGE AS THE TEA PARTY PROTEST which we were told, over and over again, was a massively important sign that US politics had shifted dramatically to the right

Again, the first Tea Party rallies in April 2009 -- heavily promoted in advance by Fox News -- only had about 300,000 attendees across 750 cities, but the media treated it like the Second American Revolution. There will be multiple *individual* No Kings rallies today that have more people at them.

80% of billionaire political spending goes to one party. Guess which one.

We’ll never be able to describe to future generations just what it’s been like to live through the DAILY idiocy and moral degeneracy of this administration. No one will ever understand the pure volume of it all

Surprise! The Jeff Bezos-owned Washington Post is against my 5% billionaire wealth tax. I wonder why? If enacted, Bezos would owe $12 billion in taxes, and an average family of 4 would receive a $12,000 direct payment. Poor Jeff would be left with just $224 billion to survive.

We killed 85 schoolgirls. We are not the good guys.

Tax breaks for his rich buddies...

The reason we're here is that tens of millions of people will punch a hole in a wall if they hear someone used food stamps to buy soda but they're fine if the right-wing podcaster turned fbi director uses his taxpayer funded private jet to go party whenever he feels like it bsky.app/profile/thed...

Stephen Miller is another evil and cruel psychopath without a conscience…

The absolute best quote from the Epstein files…

This is right wing media in a nutshell. Fear sells, especially to ignorant white people. May I live to see the day Fox News goes down in flames.

Trump's big, ugly budget megabill gives ICE more agents than the FBI, more jails than the federal Bureau of Prisons, and a larger budget than most countries' militaries. Not one more penny for ICE.

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

the $75 million Jeff Bezos set on fire for that Melania propaganda piece could have funded most independent newsrooms for literally decades

This is the winter of our rage. Bless the protesters in Minneapolis.

About a million people had the thought this morning: “Catherine O’Hara is dead but Trump is still alive.”

WOW! 👏Philly DA Larry Krasner: “This is a small bunch of wannabe Nazis in a country of 350 million. We outnumber them. If we have to hunt you down the way they hunted down Nazis for decades, we will. We will find you. We will achieve justice.” #ICEoffOurStreets

One thing I found deeply moving about resistance in the Twin Cities was the universalism of loving your neighbor, the philosophy driving the opposition to the ICE/BP invasion. I couldn't help but notice the contrast with the blood and soil-ism of Miller and Vance. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Hey, here’s a great idea: passing state laws to prevent ICE agents from holding law enforcement jobs in the future. wtop.com/maryland/202...

Alex Pretti’s coworkers take a moment of silence this morning

Statistic: 2/3rds of murders in Minneapolis so far in 2026 have been committed by DHS agents

You gotta admit, their names sure are a cosmic coincidence.

Nurses are pissed. This is on the front page of the nursing subreddit, along with many discussions about it on several other posts.

Democratic politicians are being way too polite about all this. The time for being polite is over

Worse than Kent State, really than any episode I can think of probably dating back to Reconstruc & earlier b/c 1. continuing, not 1 off. 2. organized, not individual ofcrs losing it 3. literally at hand of federal government, which is 4. immediately lying & circling the wagons to prevent inves.

From the poem “Poet to Bigot,” by Langston Hughes I, however, Have such meagre Power, Clutching at a Moment, While you control An hour. But your hour is A stone. My moment is A flower.

"They say they're coming to save us from some evil? They're talking about our neighbors who take care of us ... Alex was murdered while he was helping. Mr Rogers said look for the helpers, & right now the helpers have a target on our forehead ... Mr Rogers would be here right now too, so I'm here."

His name is Alex Jeffrey Pretti. He was 37 years old. He was a licensed nurse. He was recording ICE and defending a female protester from their aggression. And they executed him.

From this moment forward (and before, but clearly now): -If you work for ICE. -If you vote for money for ICE. You are complicit. This is the gestapo. You're on the wrong side. You can't pretend not to know.

I am watching what is happening in Minneapolis on Ali Velshi and one of the ICE officers (off camera) literally says, “It’s like Call of Duty. Pretty cool huh?” as they shoot whatever it is they are shooting. Agents walking around, guns unholstered for no reason. This is insanity

How do you just go on with your normal life after watching these videos from Minnesota? You can’t.

Minnesota is the best of us.

Deporting children with cancer. Using a 5-year-old as bait. Shooting moms. ICE is beyond reform. And today the House is voting to bankroll more terror. Hell no.

Elections are binary and perfect is never on the ballot. Your choice was Kamala or not-Kamala. I don't care what your "reason" was for not voting for Kamala. You failed, and this is your fault.

Donald Trump wants to end freedom of speech and make it illegal to criticize him or his regime.

I’m officially coining a new term: “fightiness.” Whereby Democratic Senators say the word “fight” a lot and make lots of noises about “fighting” but take no actual political risks or do anything to actually change the status quo in a significant way.

This is a bad deal, and the old way of doing things is clearly not working. We need new leaders in the Senate.

There really should be a coordinated effort to force Schumer out as Minority Leader as a result of his failure here.

The original Dem demands were: 1) Permanent ACA subsidies 2) Medicaid funding restored 3) No more blank checks for the regime (rescission) They dropped Medicaid immediately. Went silent on rescission. Cut back to 1 year of subsidies on Friday. And surrendered today. The Senate Democrats!
