Cringe normie has always been Trumpism’s kryptonite and the professional activists *hate* that people who have identities outside of being performative outsiders are more effective than they are.

Back in 2016, Trump told Karl Rove—with utter seriousness—that he would win California, Illinois, & New York, because he'd done so well in the Republican primaries. Trump's egomania is such he believes it. In his mind, fair elections must be fraud, which justifies extreme measures. It'll get worse.

Remember when Black people had to monitor BLM protests like it was a 3rd grade field trip? Same vibes.

If you were designing an op to discredit protest you could not do better than this

I hope people understand what happened here. Yesterday in the late afternoon, Trump said that Putin had promised not to attack Ukraine in such a way that it would damage their heating. Then a few hours later, that is exactly what the Russians did in a massive attack.

A multimillionaire thinks that paying down the national debt is so important that all the poors should get into the workforce earlier, work in it harder, and stay in it later to help pay it off. It's the only possible way to do it!

I believe a lot of people on here haven't a clue how U.S. Gov't works. If your political party does not hold the House th Senate or the Presidency you have no political power at all. You can slow down legislation thru administrative procedures but you can not stop this legislation. Elections matter!

I think that the crucial insight for dealing with Trump is that he has never experienced any meaningful consequences in his entire life and as a result, deterrence does not work on him the way it does for others.

Is the administration’s bit that they encourage right-wing influencers to find “fraud” in blue states; influencers “investigate” and publish propaganda claiming said widespread fraud was responsibility of immigrants; and then gov’t sends in ICE to terrorize people because of it?

Seeing all the “professional” activists go after Stancil is negatively polarizing me into a stance that Minnesota is winning because it’s normal people rising to the occasion and pushing a lot of activist nonsense out of the way by doing it

Apparently there was a city meeting in Hutchins, Texas, tonight. Hutchins is the location of DHS's newly announced 10,000-person concentration camp. What I've been told is that city officials were unanimously and adamantly opposed to it. Unfortunately, I'm seeing this nowhere online.

A one-time assistant to Jeffrey Epstein told the FBI effectively under penalty of perjury that the pedophile introduced Donald Trump to his wife Melania, a newly released document shows.

Remember like 15 years ago, when Russian dash cams of horrible accidents went viral? And everyone in Russia was using them because they couldn’t trust the authorities? Fundamentally, the dash cam and the body cam are the visual record of a failed state. They are a symptom posing as a substitute

Cruelty is big business

Hey, it’s your gal, the queen of antifa. I’m here to remind you all that Will Stancil is a little bitchboy who doesn’t take opsec seriously. This is why you should listen to me, the open Hamas supporter encouraging you to commit arson on social media instead.

It’s a Big Herrenvolk and you ain’t in it. You and I are not in the Big Herrenvolk. Again, if a single Democrat ever talked about punishing rural areas like this for ___, it would be a nonstop national scandal for months on end. But Republicans can treat cities & urban residents like this & 🦗🦗

So I just met w/MI state rep Parker Fairbairn. I asked what he was doing to protect his constituents from ICE and BP. He literally told me he DOES NOT CARE about non-white citizens. I repeated that back and he said he's fine with me telling others. So I am. @nomiindivisible.org @mi-swim.bsky.social

It’s Groundhog Day! Vancouver Island Violet has made her prediction! Six more weeks of winter! This was confirmed by her mate Phillip who also got in the weather prediction action. Watch here:

If ever there was a Thom Hartmann MUST READ, this is it. Please repost. People say "make it make sense". This makes it make sense. Again, please repost. open.substack.com/pub/thomhart...

Days after FBI seizes 700 boxes of ballots in Fulton County GA, Trump says Republicans “should take over the voting in at least 15 places.” He’s once again saying quiet part out loud & openly telegraphing his plan to interfere in midterms www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

if the groundhog pops its head out and doesn't get tear-gassed, the United States gets six more weeks of democracy

ten years ago today no one clapped

On the day of Tulsi Gabbard’s senate confirmation, a text convo between legal journo Benjamin Wittes of Lawfare and former FBI counterintelligence director Peter Strzok 👇 (from Threads)

BREAKING: ICE memo expands authority for warrantless arrests

There are ample professional disincentives to spilling the inner workings of a court; even misconduct is rarely disclosed. Only reason to demand NDAs is if the Justices are engaging in conduct so egregious that the legal profession would recognize the need for court employees to disclose it.

Do you remember when people were saying "I think my phone is listening to me, i'm getting ads for stuff I spoke about" and people said "They arent listening to you, they're just this good at predicting your interests"? Well, it happens they were doing exactly that. www.cbsnews.com/news/google-...

If true, this could explain a lot: Epstein’s mysterious money; the wire transactions to former Soviet states; Trump’s submissiveness around Putin.

“US law enforcement has never experienced a scandal as big, far-reaching, destructive, & as far-lasting as the wave of corruption & criminality in CBP & Border Patrol since 2005. It’s a story that too much of the public still doesn’t know & too many policymakers don’t understand.” Excerpt🧵

I mean, he told me and I told people

Such is the outrage in Denmark over both Trump’s desire for Greenland and disparaging remarks about NATO that one of the country’s leading newspapers devoted their Saturday front and plenty of room inside to the bios of all 44 Danes slain during NATO missions in support of the US

Tonight other dumb napkin cartoon…

AI-generated videos, shared by pro-China sources, falsely show Taiwanese people, with realistic accents, calling for unification — an apparent attempt to bolster China’s territorial claims. Read more in Reality Check: www.newsguardrealitycheck.com/p/pro-china-...

EXCLUSIVE: leaked image from the redesigned Kennedy Center, as planned for the re-opening in 2028.

Here's my full 50-page indictment of CBP and ICE and decades of corruption, abuse of force, racism, and misogyny. I promise you — however bad you've ever thought it was, the full reality is even worse, deadlier, and more corrupt. This isn't a "Trump only" phenomenon:

Heads up.

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

"Some humans (I think? Hard to tell) in masks and vests showed up this morning and took Manny and Kumal away. As you may have noticed, those two were the only staff—despite this place being open from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m."

Anne Frank died of typhus at Bergen-Belsen

Can leeches and trepanning be far behind? Dark age bullshit.

BREAM: Schumer says he wants all the money ICE is now spending to be tagged with reforms. Can that happen? MIKE JOHNSON: It doesn't matter what they do to the current DHS bill. Those operations will continue.
