ICE protest in Elgin, IL. Temperature: 13 degrees. @wecanleadchange.bsky.social #ICEOutForGood #BuildTheResistance #AbolishICE

The official policy of the government of the United States of America is that they will murder anyone they want, that they will tell any lie necessary to justify that murder, and that no one who resists them has any rights they are bound to respect. /1

I wonder what any of you would do differently in your lives if I said "yes, America is at this moment a fascist nation." Because I tell ya what, if I thought so, I'd be doing things differently. For starters, I wouldn't bother worrying about elections or candidates or whom to support. /1

#NoKings protest in Geneva IL. Population, 20k. The protests keep going and going and going... Well done, #geneva

Actually, this isn’t true. No such play or movie was ever produced.

Shall I be plain? I wish the bastards dead

A long long time ago, in a far away galaxy... the US used to tax the rich

Wait what

From Elon’s Nazi salute, to this sick BS. There is no ambiguity. It’s not “similar.” There is no need for 1/2 an hour on MSM discussing whether it is “intentional.” We all know the answer. They admire the hell out of Hitler and the way he ran his show.

“In the end the Party would announce that two and two made five, and you would have to believe it. It was inevitable that they should make that claim sooner or later: the logic of their position demanded it.” - 1984, George Orwell

this is a letter to the editor from a high school track runner who came in second to a trans girl in a race. her state house rep in maine started talking about it. so she wrote this: www.pressherald.com/2025/05/14/r...

The next president has to do two things: 1) right the wrongs of Trump and go after those who broke the law and were corrupt. 2). Then spend time divesting power from the presidency and building real guardrails and passing laws like, “the president is not immune” etc. And get the money out

Once a foreign government can openly give the president a half-billion-dollar plane as a personal gift, there’s no red line left between a democracy and a full-blown kleptocracy. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/corruption...

are we really going to start the week off like this is this how it is going to be

This is still part of the Constitution, FYI: "[N]o Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust... shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State."

So many people have grown up to be the villains of our stories.

filling time on air until the new pope is announced is known as "pontiffication"

Krishnamoorthi: Well, look—you’ve heard of artificial intelligence. I think what you see right now in the White House is just natural stupidity.

Trump: "Maybe the children will have two dolls instead of 30"

NOTE: I feel like rolling out the "arresting judges" portion of the new season is a little rushed. Maybe start by arresting a lawyer or two, then maybe some newscasters, THEN the judges. If we start with the judges I feel like compressing several episodes into one. Also, no love story?

Our cover this week.

“i’ve always been an ignorant piece of shit my entire life guys”

Some say the world will end in FOIA Some say in ICE

DID YOU SEND THAT LETTER TO HARVARD?

Oh. "This is about whether we have functional constitutional government in this country. If the IRS can go after you because of what you think or what you believe or what you do, we'd no longer live in a free country.“

This picture was taken in Florida.

They violated a court order to keep the AP out of the event where they publicly violated a different court order

those lil shaved front feet tho

At this rate MAGA will only be able to afford to rent the libs.

Scenes from the #protest in Geneva IL today! #handsoff

“We are currently clean on OPSEC” accidentally sent to a journalist is an all time classic.

Did Jeff Goldberg even say thank you?

Remember when people used to say the warnings about Trump were alarmist? He’s now explicitly saying US citizens who damage private property that’s linked to one of his oligarch cronies will be sent to prisons in El Salvador.

If you are visiting the United States, having a negative view of Trump is enough to get you denied entry. If this was coming out of Russia or China, we would deplore such an authoritarian attack on freedom of expression.

You don't have to have a PhD in History to know this, but since I do, let me be clear: what we think of as Large Historical Events™ don't burst into existence fully formed. They begin in places like the Piazza San Sepolcro, or Oranienburg, or...the parking lot at Spokane Community College.

I strongly agree with Leah here 👇

This happened a week ago.

Note: The person giving the sermon in question is Bishop Mariann Budde, the Episcopal Bishop of Washington. Rep. Collins is suggesting deporting a U.S. citizen and bishop for delivering a sermon in a house of worship in accordance with her faith.

Dear god read this

Why do they both look like Alec Baldwin?
