Utter barbarism by the Iranian regime. I don't believe military action is the answer, but this regime needs to be isolated and shunned:

Agreed. At this point, ICE and CBP need to be purged and rebuilt/re-imagined from the ground up:

There's something particularly funny about being an unironic Marxist-Leninist in 2026 in that Fascism ended in the sturm und drang of Berlin and the Elbe and Monarchy ended in the apocalyptic moments of 1917-1919. Leninism ended in a Pizza Hut commercial.

Not just arrest quotas, but bounties for arrests, whether they're justified or not. The regime is truly giving the worst incentives to the worst people:

Martial law theater. As others have noted, this is not nearly not enough troops to control a major metropolitan area. It is enough to further inflame tensions, which seems to be the entire point of the exercise:

Yet another whim-based executive order with absolutely no legal force behind it. It's only a matter of time before he orders everyone to wear underwear on our heads:

This is sadly all too true:

Running a glorified Trump University scam for world leaders while president. No grift is too shameless for this man:

Real "Heritage Americans" taking a stand against the ICE/CBP occupation of Minnesota:

Here's hoping that General Winter can hinder the efforts of Trump's secret police thugs:

More brutal lawlessness from Trump's secret police thugs:

ICE and MAGA really did bet the farm on all of Minneapolis’s white people going “oh yes, please take away our disgusting, evil non-white-foreigner neighbors, oh thank you so much.” it’s beautiful that they’ve been proven incredibly wrong about that - may the rest of the country do the same.

I'm sure everyone will be SHOCKED to hear that the videos do not show the whole "people came out and attacked ICE with snow shovels" thing that ICE claimed was what happened. This was not a remotely defensive gunshot.

You kind of want Wolf to pause after that for a very long moment, then ask her, "Tricia, are you ever afraid for your eternal soul?"

This just about sums things up:

When the racist meme becomes national policy

It's Idiocracy meets the Melian Dialogue with this regime. That's all it is, no deeper agenda than that:

A complete coincidence, I'm sure...

Mischief Toys is a plaintiff in the lawsuit against the Trump administration seeking to hold his tariffs unconstitutional 🤔🤔🤔

Fell for it again award, etc… Story is worth a read for what it says about how billionaires like Joe Lonsdale muscle into things and demand fealty and their way or else, and get their way because, well, billionaire.

Yet another example of how the obsession over "cancel culture" was simply about right-wing desire to be the ones doing the cancelling:

There is no scenario where Tricia McLaughlin would not blame the victim, would not allege, with zero evidence, that they have assaulted the DHS agent. It his her default setting.

1. This is one of the greatest abuses of power in US history (which now happens daily). 2. It won't work. 3. They're losing badly and they know it. 4. This is so stupid and reeking of flop sweat that only Miller could've ordered it.

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic. The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.

Criminal investigations for nothing but speech; the administration’s contempt for the First Amendment could not be more clear.

Newsmax: the baby asked for it

The first US sale of Venezuelan crude was to a company whose senior oil trader donated to Donald Trump’s re-election campaign and attended a White House meeting with the president last week. www.ft.com/content/da74...

The Under Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy is feuding with neo-Nazis online as to whether Jews are responsible for letting “barbarian rapist hordes” (her words) into Europe.

The leading debate among MAGA is between racists and racists who are also anti-Semites:

An informative but disturbing snapshot of Right-Wing Christianity:

This, people, is why we must vote. Not just when you’re in love with a particular candidate. Or when they agree with your issues. Because Stephen Miller has a job because Trump is President. And Trump is President because just enough people voted for him. And not enough people voted against him.

".. when you win the presidency, you don't win the midterms,” Trump said. He boasted that he had accomplished so much that “when you think of it, we shouldn't even have an election.” @reuters.com www.reuters.com/world/us/fiv...

A father says he was with his six children when they were hit by munitions deployed by law enforcement in response to demonstrations that turned violent in Minneapolis. Three of the children went to the hospital, including a 6-month-old baby, who stopped breathing after being hit by tear gas

Trumpwellian censorship continues to intensify:

🚨WHOA. The El Paso Medical Examiner says it will rule the death of a 55-year-old Cuban man at ICE's "Camp East Montana" tent camp as a homicide. He was allegedly choked to death by a guard during a "struggle" after he refused to enter a housing unit without his medications.

A mindbogglingly pathetic spectacle. Like a claimant to a local throne in classical antiquity abasing themselves before a Roman emperor. Except way more stupid in this case:

ICE targeting the real "Heritage Americans." Yet further proof this has nothing to do with "immigration enforcement."

Some of the stories in here are absolutely chilling. One US citizen of Somali descent was just riding an elevator with ICE agents and then they detained him for almost half an hour in the freezing cold despite him showing agents his passport card. They only let him go once protestors showed up.

ICE must be abolished. It has become a lawless, rogue agency. Federal law enforcement agencies must follow the law, if they're going to have any credibility enforcing it. We are demanding justice for Renee Good and the prosecution of ICE agent Jonathan Ross for her murder.

The more info we get about this raid, the worse it becomes. ICE had NO valid warrant (administrative warrants do not authorize forceful entry into a home), the guy's sole prior conviction was a since-dismissed drug charge from 2008, AND he had checked in with ICE just days earlier.

They flashbanged a car full of kids. A car full of fucking kids.

Not exactly breaking news, but more proof that Trump is a compulsive liar and con artist. Nothing is so petty that he won't stoop to it:

These photos are terrifying (as opposed to stunning). Black women have been killed in these kind of scenarios long before Trump.

It's our equivalent of the man confronting the tanks in Beijing in 1989:

This is not to be missed! Such an illustrious group of people advocating for public data.

She said she was headed to a doctor's appointment. Federal agents still attacked her. Earlier today in Minneapolis, journalist Amanda Moore (@noturtlesoup17.bsky.social) documented a tense, chaotic federal operation near 34th Street and Park Avenue.

Musk also said: -He'd put a man on Mars in 10 years (2011) -Tesla FSD would be fully operational (every year since 2016) -Cybertruck would sell 250k units a year -DOGE would save America $2 trillion -We'd all get a DOGE rebate check You get the point. #TeslaTakedown
