Buttigieg on Fox News: "How did this criminal get a pardon from President Trump? Did he contribute to the ballroom project? Did he buy some of that cryptocurrency and make the Trump family wealthier? Why are these many fraudsters getting these pardons?"

Buttigieg on Fox News: "When you see an American woman opening the door to her home and on her doorstep finds half a dozen federal agents in tactical gear that is more tricked out than what I would take outside the wire in Afghanistan -- I think most people get that that is wrong."

every epstein file drop underscores how elite power operates through shared socio-economic networks, regardless of people's ideological differences, populist posturing, or public feuds

this guy’s an antisemite? this guy? next you’re gonna tell me elon musk is in the epstein files

“it is probably wiser to view the Lemon arrest as something broader. It’s not that he’s a journalist. It’s that he’s been identified as an Enemy of Trump, and the president and his base have long been howling for those perceived enemies to be punished.”

I keep thinking of all the times I've covered protests and stepped off the sidewalk or run ahead of the march or gone somewhere "unapproved" to get a shot, and all the times I HAVEN'T been arrested. The arrests of Lemon and Fort are meant to have a chilling effect on journalists.

This is one of the things I talked about on CNN - the DOJ releasing then deleting this looks like either a mistake or a coverup. Either way, it's the Streisand Effect on speed.

The Trump administration accused Don Lemon of participating in a protest which interrupted a church service-though Lemon was covering the event as a reporter Yet ICE routinely camps out at churches so they can arrest worshipers upon their exit-and this has interrupted services-with Trump's blessing

She's not getting nearly the coverage that Lemon is getting. Thanks, Scott.

CNN in Minneapolis: We are seeing thousands and thousands of people, we've been standing on the corner here for the past ten minutes. This this crowd has not let up. It's just continuous.

As Moira might say: The unbridledly authentic Catherine O'Hara navigated the perfidious shoals of life with both the grace of a swan & the vivacity of magenta sequins sprinkled on a burlap sack. In all matters of the vortex of being, she was simply exquisite. Oh, how she will be missed. 💔

I’ll be flooding your feed with Catherine O’Hara goodness today and I make no apologies for that.

From Moira Rose to Kate McCallister, quirky dog moms to kooky folk singers, nine must-see highlights from Catherine O’Hara’s 50-year body of work. 🔗 www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv...

Abolish. ice. 💔

This sums it up.

Reporter: Will Stephen Miller be apologizing to the family of Alex Pretti for calling him an assassin? Leavitt: This incident remains under investigation.

This five year old is still in jail

I personally don't tell people who have been fighting their hearts out daily for weeks not to celebrate wins of any size. I certainly don't do that when I've been nowhere near the place where the fight has been happening and have done little more than make some donations from miles away.

#electionsmatter If Kamala Harris were president, Renee Good and Alex Pretti would still be alive today.

Needless to say that Renee Good and Alex Pretti will go down as heroes here in Minnesota and nationally, their names synonymous with sacrifice and caring for vulnerable neighbors even at the risk of your own life. And hopefully no more innocent lives are lost.

ALEX JEFFREY PRETTI. Gone, but never forgotten... #RIP_Alex 💔

Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is stay soft in a world that keeps asking you to harden up. Pay attention to what steadies you — a quiet moment, a voice, a song — and keep those things close. They ain’t escapes; they’re anchors.

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives. We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

Wouldn’t have made it out of the VEEP writers room

The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember: - Organized a city wide general strike - Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence - Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE - Flipped public opinion against ICE

Torn between my position that it's not great to mock men for being physically small and laughing my ass off at someone calling Bovino a "micro-Nazi"

Bovino being run out of town is the biggest L for Nazis since the Battle of Berlin

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

Two former presidents felt compelled to comment publicly

"The American dream belongs to all of us." - Kamala Harris "Sometimes you need a dictator." - Walking Circus Peanut

This administration is pure "chaotic authoritarianism". It will fail in the end because they're prioritising loyalty to a leader + ideology over winning.

Murphy on Bovino: "That was a bone-chilling interview. I was shaking while I was listening to it, in large part bc it takes just an unbelievable amount of gall to lie to the American public. Everybody saw that video ... it should freak the public out that the Trump administration lies this easily"

Gov. Walz: "What side do you want to be on? The side of an all-powerful federal government that can kill, injure, menace, and kidnap its citizens off the street, or the side of a nurse for a VA hospital who died bearing witness to such government?"

All to please a wannabe king who is demented and thrives on violence.

Walz: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal government that can kill, injure, menace and kidnap its citizens off the streets or on the side of a nurse at the V.A. who died bearing witness to such government

I wish Democrats would start just speaking the truth: “ICE is killing American citizens in public for exercising their freedom of speech because Donald Trump wants to be a king. This isn’t about immigration—Trump wants to make it illegal to oppose him, and to stay in power until he dies.”

Thank God there were people filming. This administration would have said Alex Pretti pulled a handgun, a package of fentanyl, and a signed copy of the Communist Manifesto if they could.

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.

Imagine what’s happening in the camps.

So many people would be alive if Kamala and been inaugurated a year ago. Still believe your vote doesnt matter?

Four-time Grammy Award nominee Jesse Welles performs his song "Join Ice." Bob Dylan once said a single folk singer could defeat an entire army. Ladies and gentlemen, I think we have our man.

We’re supposed to believe this is a domestic terrorist attacking ICE with a gun

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

Awful of the BBC. How can they distribute a video that clearly shows that the official US government narrative is a lie without also stating that it's a lie? There aren't two sides to every story. Two news angles, yes: - Reality of what happened. - Official lying cover-up. But not two sides.

Aside from the gently-softly deference to power and both-sides-ism typical of the BBC in all arenas, really gross to frame this around horse race politics. Who gives a fuck about Trump’s attempts to “steer the narrative”!

AOC on Noem's lies: "They are asking you to give up your belief in your own senses and instead hand over your belief to anything they say ... look at it for yourself and what you will see is an innocent man being executed in the street."

The attorney general is threatening a state that the federal government will continuing murdering its citizens in the streets unless they provide access to state voter rolls, a lawless demand which is the subject of ongoing litigation.
