When you recruit macho idiots, give them guns, and tell them they have immunity for using those guns, what you expect? These shootings by federal agents are a feature of the system, not a bug.

This regime is proving Thomas Hobbes correct: The “law” is nothing but a gunman, writ large. As Trump has realized, when there is no one to enforce the rules, there are no rules. Anyone still pretending that the “law,” without a means of enforcement, will restrain those with power, is a fool.

It’s like these Texas A&M administrators have spent their entire lives in a cave, understanding the world only through dim shadows on a wall.

💯 Bouie argues by analogy that the Dem establishment needs to become more courageous and to embrace stronger tactics, when necessary, in response to MAGA.

-A living wage -Guaranteed healthcare -The right to join a union -The right to vote -The right to choose when, how, and with whom you start a family -The right for you and your family to live free from gun violence These are the foundations of real freedom.

Just watched this. Everyone should. This regime has committed, and continues to commit, crimes against humanity.

Bill Clinton was President in 1996 when Maria Farmer complained about Epstein to the FBI. Bubba knows way more than he’s said.

They can redact and play games but it doesn’t change the fact that the President of the United States is a child rapist.

Putting pressure on the court that prosecutes international war crimes is something that an international war criminal would do.

Declining a bowl invitation should also forfeit any post-season play the following year. #TheQuittingIrish @notredame.bsky.social

If we were actually using military strikes to protect Americans from deadly drugs, the Sacklers would have been the first targets.

This. The police exist to protect people from unlawful action. To the extent that ICE has a legitimate (cough) job to do, they have no right to do that job unlawfully. Why haven’t we seen similar orders in CA ( @gavinnewsom.bsky.social; @governor.ca.gov ) and IL ( @govpritzker.illinois.gov )?

Tom Cotton is a murderous thug. He has no problem killing helpless Venezuelans, and he would have no problem killing you.

If they will kill people clinging to debris in the ocean, they will kill you.

Nothing says “warfighter mentality” like blaming subordinates.

Our continued dependence on fossil fuels in the U.S. is a choice.

Hegseth uses “kinetic, lethal strikes” to murder poor people he suspects of drug trafficking without due process, while his boss pardons rich people convicted of drug trafficking through due process. This is what it means to destroy the Rule of Law.

“Everything you say can, and will, be used against you in a court of law …” Hegseth has the RIGHT to remain silent, but he lacks the ABILITY.

I just had a delicious lunch of Nepalese curry in a Colorado mountain town settled by Scotsmen. Stephen Miller can go f*ck himself.

Happy Thanksgiving from the Big Apple!

AT&T has the worst customer service. That is all.

Epstein information youtu.be/FRuBGktX-J0?...

The Epstein story gets a something that is tearing at the heart of the electorate: elite impunity. The idea that wealthy and powerful people can do terrible things *at scale* and face no consequences for them. Whatever political party actually stops it could rule the country for a generation.

When Epstein calls you "dirty" you need to reassess your life

If you’re a Democrat who wants my money, my work, and my vote, then you have to be committed to new party leadership. Period.

Serious turd polishing by @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com tonight. Sorry, buddy. We all know the actions of the Traitorous Eight are nothing but a lump of shit.

On Tuesday, Americans sent Democrats a resounding message. “Fight for us” “Fight for working class Americans” “Fight against Trump’s corruption, criminality and cruelty” 5 days later, Democrat Senators sent Americans a resounding message. “Nah”

“You know why people don't like liberals? Cause they lose. If liberals are so fucking smart, how come they lose so god damn always?” — Will McAvoy, The Newsroom We lose because we elect people like Tim Kaine, cowards who lack the courage of their supposed convictions. Shame on him, and shame on us.

This isn’t very hard, folks.

Our continued dependence on fossil fuels as our primary energy source is a choice. We have options.

In Kennedy v. Louisiana, SCOTUS held that imposing the death penalty a case that did not involve homicide is “cruel and unusual punishment” in violation of the Constitution. Thus, summary killing of alleged (or even actual) drug runners violates the supreme law of the United States. It is murder.

#ResistanceRoots #ResistanceEarth Today in history, 1948: Dense smog claims 11 elderly victims in Donora, Pa. Fog had trapped toxic pollutants from a zinc smelting plant close to the ground, making thousands sick. The tragedy led to the passage of the 1955 Clean Air Act. /1

“Compassion and Action” should be the new Dem motto. Our country does better when we ALL do better, not just a privileged few. Targeted government action—like Obamacare, SNAP, infrastructure—improves lives, esp. compared to the destruction and neglect of MAGA. C&A is a positive path forward.

💯 across the board. Above all else, the $130M “donation” by billionaire nepo-baby, Timothy Mellon, proves unequivocally that the rich can easily pay more in taxes.

We are in middle school hell with this administration. Just days away from the President of the United States yelling “6, 7!” into a microphone and walking out of the room.

Hot take: Nazi tattoos should be a deal-breaker for at least one of the two major U.S. political parties.

Two days ago, he took a shit on the American people. Today, he began demolishing the People’s House. That’s all he does. He shits on people, and he destroys things. Bcuz he’s a horrible person. I blame him a lot for the death & destruction he’s caused. I blame his enablers & his appeasers even more.

Everything Trump does is projection or admission. Here, it’s an admission that all he does is shit on America.

So, according to MAGA, 30 year old Nazis are just “kids,” but teenage girls are “wonderful secrets.” Got it.

A foreign country is going to have a military base on U.S. soil. Did we lose a war while I wasn’t looking?

Hegseth clearly thinks Col. Jessup was the real hero in “A Few Good Men.”

Yesterday, we saw proof that MAGA leadership, like Musk, Thiel, and Bannon, are among the cabal of sex trafficking pedophile elites in the Epstein files. Today, Trump declared war on Portland to change the subject. Just imagine how bad the rest of those files must be.

For Disney, in particular, it’s going to be hard to get anyone back who watched Andor and understood the plot.

Boycotts work!

This is it, but people are too gullible and mindless to realize it.

“[F]or Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.” 2 Corinthians 11:14. Evil people rarely come straight out and tell you they are evil. Most wouldn’t accept them if they did. Rather, they hide behind performative action and rhetorical facades that make it harder to discern their true nature.

A kindergarten teacher at the school my kids attended was fired today. Sorry, “given the opportunity to resign.” She had the temerity to post on social media over the weekend that, while nothing justifies political violence, Charlie Kirk does not deserve to be canonized. Fuck these fucking fascists.

How you die does not redeem how you lived.
