“Be dogged about finding common ground, and at the same time, don’t abandon your values,” (NJ Gov) Murphy said in an interview. Common ground with Trump is hate and grifting/scamming; Trump’s motto is “abandon values all who enter here.” www.politico.com/news/2026/01...

It's an open secret that multiple members of congress are planning to flee to Europe if things get really bad in the US (which of course would be entirely their fault). Europe should make extremely clear that this is not a viable thing they can do.

And like Gaza…they’re actually supportive of this.

Translation: they’re for it. They’re fine with it. The whole police state. Vote for Newsom etc

Well she turned into a genuine queen, and I’m resistant to that whole idea. But she is.

Abolish ICE. Destroy their weapons and melt down their equipment. Deny their agents, employees, and bosses all government employment for all time. Remove the agency entirely from the budget and give the money to public libraries and free health care.

The incredibly lukewarm Democratic response on Greenland is being noticed in Europe, incidentally. Chuck Schumer not finding a stronger word than “quixotic” for Trump’s plan to seize Greenland has been name checked to me more than once.

A community member armed with a firearm stands guard in his neighborhood after ICE was spotted nearby during an abduction operation in St. Paul, Minnesota, on January 18, 2026.

I'm sure what is in the Epstein files is bad but the real problem is no one in power is synthesizing the existing extremely damning information that is more than enough to get Trump removed from office.

DNC chair Ken Martin committed to setting up a shadow cabinet and then promptly did not

ICE field officer has side hustle as a pastor—you cannot make this stuff up open.substack.com/pub/publicwi...

In the great American tradition of destroying Iraq in retaliation for 9-11 and making Saudi Arabia a dear and trusted ally.

Losing my mind at the Dems with their billionaire backers and powerful friends who have come up with the brilliant strategy that the party should adopt the policy positions of the avg MAGA voter — apparently ignoring that independents and swing voters even exist. Is this what $40 million gets you??

This stems from the latent belief that the Americans who matter the most are rural and exurban Americans right of center. This, in turn, is the product of the Senate and the Electoral College.

At what point does losing 77 billion dollars impact a business? The global box office for all movies, put together, in total, all movies everywhere in 2025 was 33.5 billion dollars. He lost more than double that on “legs”

If a politician can’t commit to abolishing ICE or not invading their neighbours then that person isn’t there to represent you, they’re there to occupy your spot in government while the regressives and fascists destroy what’s left of your country, terrorize your nation, and rob you blind.

This is smart. Also who knew in 2026 a car alarm would have an actual good purpose. Also, if you have a car, get a dash cam with cloud upload.

Hillary shrugged Kamala shrugged Joe Biden shrugged Our Democratic Party shrugged And all put money in the bank for doing it

There are good dems but Cory Booker is one of the worst of them and please do not ever be fooled by the occasional show he puts on for suckers (you - he thinks you are suckers)

The dems have put forth their brilliant plan to put body cams on the body cams but when bluesky user FuckIce69 says "abolish ICE" their foolproof plan will be undermined and you only have yourselves to blame

Name one critic who has said that. Trump's version of ending the war is to force surrender and dismemberment on Ukraine, to hand Putin a victory that undermines NATO, European security, and democracy in the area Russia thinks of as its sphere of influence. That would not be worth honoring.

…and so manny of you Sorkin-brained blue MAGA brunch lib types are constitutionally incapable of understanding much less accepting that it is precisely your insistence of going on as though the social contract and second USian constitution aren’t null and void that is preventing any real movement

The real issue here is training

To stick with the 2016 example, Clinton and Trump were the 2 most disliked major-party candidates in the history of polling, both disliked by majorities of Americans. Yet in an alleged liberal democracy, they were the candidates. That's an almost complete systemic breakdown.

The kind of voter-blaming narratives that are thrown around these platforms on a daily basis are dishonest, wildly counterproductive (to the extent that they have any impact at all) and anti-democratic. When it comes to elections, individuals are largely at the mercy of systems beyond their control.

They really just need better training

There are citizens risking their bodies and lives to protect neighbors and communities. Many assaulted, some permanently maimed, by federal agents. Protesters have shown remarkable restraint to avoid implementation of the Insurrection Act. There are cowards and traitors in Congress.

When South Korea successfully stopped a coup, arrested the former president, and prosecuted him, it sent a very strong message to everyone else: "You can trust that 4 years from now, you won't have to worry about him returning and fucking everything up." The US under Biden did the exact opposite.

Yeah, this was Biden and it briefly worked, but ultimately no accountability meant the rubber band snapped right back into place. This is Newsom too, this idea that we all need to go back to a Clintonian normal and not make any structural change or redistribute any power. bsky.app/profile/scre...

The fact that Gavin Newsom is even talking to the likes of Shapiro is a sign that he’s a non-starter. I’ve never forgotten how Shapiro said that Trayvon Martin deserved to die. Not fucking ever.

He talks the talk but once in office does not take his responsibilities very seriously.

state patrols going to pull over agents for a shaky drivers license issue (they’re valid across state lines), detain them, take their IDs? They won’t direct PDs to stop Ice & DHS pummeling & shooting people every single day This is high level bullshit & he’ll get “at least he’s doing something!”

70% of all Harris voters in 2024 and 65% of all self identified Democrats believe Israel has committed genocide 60% of Democrats believe Israel kills children intentionally and whopping 77% overall have a negative view of Israel.

This account, with a decent number of followers,is nonstop full time devoted to insulting, attacking and abusing anyone criticizing democrats This reply below is to her claim that Newsom has reduced homelessness by double digits in CA. In the street homeless is down 9%, it’s still a bullshit claim

The thing is, some people can make mistakes, get things wrong, be careless, etc. But that’s not what Jennings did here. Jennings knowingly, purposefully and intentionally lied to utterly distort what was said, which CNN pays him to do every day. CNN is the enabler of this.

I woke up thinking about how the Democratic Party kills victims of state violence multiple times. First they fund the murderers, then they capture and redirect the righteous anger of the moment and the victims' names into yet another venue for scolding the left and anyone who's actually upset.

Blue maga, man

The answer to Shapiro should have been, "Yes, we said it, and we meant it. There is no excuse for the way ICE is conducting itself, and we should defund the entire agency." But, no, gargle his balls, Gavin. You fucking spineless toad.

These things are related

I still haven’t gotten my tax refund from last year, IRS also lost about $1500 & neither have anyone looking for, dealing with, etc. Just in the void In the past month, I’ve found out 3 food products I had were recalled for bafflingly horrible things. Careful with what I buy too.

@cbsnews.com my dvr didnt record whiskey night with Tony Dokoupil. do I call your customer thing or just the normal 911?

A much better plan is AOC's call to claw back ICE funding and devote it to affordable housing. Cortez-Masto clownishly wants to give ICE funding to local cops. No, never. Local cops are helping ICE right now. They'd just continue to do so. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Any elected Democrat not fully committed to resistance at this point is a MAGA collaborator. So yes, they gotta go. History is screaming at us from the grave.

The good news is that Democrats want to work with him, give him credit for his border crisis success and CHIPS act

Again it is something that people in previous eras have commented on but I still find it just astonishing to witness in my own: fascism is somehow the natural ideology of loser men, just all of our most pathetic and contemptible instincts rendered into a worldview.

Trump joins a not-so-long list of people who have acquired someone else's Nobel medal, including... uh... Joseph Goebbels. www.nobelpeaceprize.org/press/press-...

🤔 In 2021, Kip Mock of Moscow ID accidentally set his pal, Elijah Froh, on fire by pouring diesel on a fire. Mock & Froh were later were hired by Valar Atomics—founded by their pal, Isaiah Taylor, a high school dropout from Moscow, ID who somehow landed a DOE contract to build a nuclear reactor. 1/

If only there was a party they could move towards that supports their opposition.
