A major American city is under siege by Nazis. We pay the Nazis. Because a child rapist convinced millions of selfish fucks that trans kids and reliable healthcare were their enemies. Have you called your reps today? It’s going to take all of us. 202-224-3121 #RemoveTrump #AbolishICE

SAY IT 👏👏👏

Trump is using ICE to terrorize our cities. He is using DOJ to target his political opponents. He will eventually try to steal the 2026 election. I started Democracy Docket to be fiercely independent and unbowed. Become a member now to help support its work and to stay informed. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

“Thanks to our latest findings, we now know that early citizens of the United States had a more nuanced system of government than previously thought,” said Professor Lee Somers, director of the site excavation

Tell you what, MAGA. I’ll stop saying “fuck” when you dismantle ICE.

When Trump’s dead, and if we emerge from whatever white nationalist regime follows him and return to some normality, the media and commentariat are going to do everything in their power to normalize what happened and make it into simple policy differences suitable for “my two guests are.” /1

Looking at Minneapolis I am telling you that the argument Paine made in Common Sense 250 yrs ago this week was all about Boston being terrorized murdered and occupied by the British, and that everyone needed to put themselves in Boston’s place and decide they wouldn’t stand for it any longer.

Yes, ICE is a Gestapo-like police force compromised largely of white supremacists who were unable to obtain jobs in traditional law enforcement. But so many of the anti-ICE people I talk to are like the worst wine moms . I have never felt more politically homeless.

If there is no power that can guarantee Constitutional protections right now (not someday in the future), the Constitution is dead.

Just astounding that the homepage of my hometown paper (and former employer) has absolutely nothing about what's been happening in Minneapolis for the last 72 hours. Brutal round-ups, mass citizen resistance - civil war, basically. Oh, right, the Patriots won a football game.

It's no longer left versus right or even Democrat versus Republican. It’s now democracy versus oligarchy. Freedom versus dictatorship. Right versus wrong. People are awakening to this new reality — and they're speaking up. The sleeping giant of America is roaring.

As of now they’re not trying to talk me out of it but told me to email [email protected]. That may just be a deflection hoping that if they throw up some hurdles some people won’t cancel but I think they underestimate how much time I will devote to making trouble.

The murder of Renee Good by ICE has shocked the nation. The President is deploying his own personal armed thugs into the streets of America. In all my years, I've never seen anything like it. (ft. W. Kamau Bell)

You know that book everyone was waiting for in December? We have it now. Signed, A Bookstore That Is Drowning in Deliveries That Should Have Been Here Three Weeks Ago

Your friendly independent bookstore breaking into your timeline to tell you to take a couple hours this weekend, put your phone in like, a box, or something & read a book. All of this <waves hand> will be here when you come back.

Once I had an article in pre-publication and found new information that contradicted a tiny detail. No one would catch it, but I literally didn’t sleep well until the editor assured me it could be corrected. Neurotic, yes. But point is: I have no idea how these liars live with themselves.

Begging credit card companies to play nice is a joke. I said a year ago if Trump was serious I’d work to pass a bill to cap rates. Since then, he’s done nothing but try to shut down the CFPB. Trump doesn’t care about affordability. Americans know a fraud when they see one.

Oh.

It's 22 days past the deadline to release the Epstein files.

Every year, police in the US shoot and kill more than 1,100 people. Black people are the victims at a disproportionate rate—they are nearly three times more likely to be shot and killed by police than white people. www.everytown.org/issues/gun-v...

Do you know how frickin pissed off you have to make Minnesotans for them to not only NOT help you, but HECKLE you?

The Trump Administration murdered Renee Nicole Good twice: first it destroyed her body, then it assassinated her character.

The other guys want one million deportations; I want twenty-two thousand people tried and convicted and put away where they can never hurt anyone again for the rest of their miserable lives.

I have this theory that you’re either the kid who stopped playing Monopoly because it wasn’t fun anymore or you’re the reason everyone else stopped playing Monopoly.

Today, I am asking myself what small actions I can take to make the public spaces around me more actively hostile to ICE, family members of ICE, and potential ICE recruits.

Appearances can be deceptive. Can you make a judgement based solely on eyewitness testimony, video evidence, and what you saw with your own eyes while dismissing the barefaced falsehoods of a corrupt administration with an unbroken track record of festering deceit? Yes.

Democrat mayor isn’t allowed to say the word fuck But a Republican president is allowed to fuck children That’s easily why I call Republicans pieces of shit

The same people who want us all to clutch our pearls about the Mayor of Minneapolis saying the word fuck after an extrajudicial killing of one of his constituents… Don’t mind that a 6 year old’s mother is dead. Don’t mind that the Pres. of the United States is a serial child rapist. #AbolishICE

So we be rid of them, do with ’em what thou wilt.

Homeland Security lies so brazenly even though they know the incident was videoed. Imagine what they'd say if there were no video. I'm sure we would have been told by Kristi Noem that the driver opened fire on the ICE officers with an AR-15 in each hand.

returning to Boston after a week visiting family in our native Florida and my husband I are ecstatic with gratitude, like George Bailey at the end of It's a Wonderful Life: "Merry Christmas sidewalks and bike lanes! Merry Christmas you old wonderful MBTA! Hey! Merry Christmas feral turkeys!"

"Do you have no decency? We have someone dead in their car for no reason whatsoever. I don't want to be right about this, but I said if they do this they're gonna create a chaotic situation where someone innocent is gonna get killed. And they did it." Gov. Tim Walz

So the Trump administration uses ICE to murder innocent civilians here in the US—and the military to murder innocent fishermen overseas. This is a criminal regime.
