The president has one core job under the Constitution: to “take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed.” Not thwarted, diverted, blunted, revised or ignored. Faithfully executed.

Tell me again, Donald, about the "Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax."

It's language that describes their violent actions. Accurately describing it can't be the crime. Fuck these fascist, authoritarian, fucks

the truth you can’t run from 🪶 happy indigenous peoples day, every day

Shameful colonialism and occupation have taught us time and time again that those who are in power distort historical events to their advantage. Take heed. Wishing all a reflective Indigenous Peoples’ Day, honoring those who have endured oppression, occupation and genocide. 🕯️

If they feel entitled to enforce this, and that necessarily means that they're going to feel entitled to stop and ask people for their papers if they think they might be aliens.

ICE has been deployed to *provoke* civilians, not to protect them. They want to throw tear gas canisters and get people on the streets riled up, all to create footage for Fox News and Newsmax, et al., that will be used as a pretext for imposing martial law to lower voting rates in Democratic cities.

Trader Joe's Exec1: we'll sell lots of really good stuff at good prices Exec2: that doesn't sound at all evil. We're a big company, we're supposed to be evil Founder1: we are going to have the most inadequate, cramped, badly designed parking lots in the fucking world Founder2: ok that works

Release the Epstein Files.

Dude?!?! WTF?!?! Then where have my dues been going?

Wow. How many Tariffs and embargoes must she have threatened Norway with to lock that up. Or maybe bullying Norway might be the antithesis of how one is recognized by the Nobel committee as being worthy of recognition. Maybe?

Amazing what happens when you give the guy a plane

“The defense secretary underwent a round of cosmetic injections last month.” One insider: “He’s always been full of himself, but lately his ego has been off the charts.”

The Hague Award?

The monster is really coming for us all. General Letitia James has been indicted following Trump’s pressure campaign. She’s accused of committing “mortgage fraud.” The MAGA movement is weaponizing the Justice Department.

I knew Fox News was theater. I just didn't realize it was a repertory theater that recycles actors for different roles. You'd think a company that had to pay $787,000,000 for deceiving its viewers would be a little more careful about blatantly continuing the practice.

Don't you hate it when the MOST obvious grouping jumps at you too easily. So you hedge, and use a different set first. And the it turns out the EASY one was the Purple set? IFYKYK Connections Puzzle #851 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟦🟦🟦🟦

Being autistic doesn’t mean you aren’t capable of being loved.

Autistic meltdowns aren’t tantrums. They’re the bodymind saying “I can’t hold this anymore". They’re not moral failures. They’re overload. Pressure leaving the system. You don’t need punishment. You need safety.

Our government is shut down but nobody is paying attention because our president is an idiotic cunt who is sending troops to invade our cities for fraudulent reasons because he’s a pedophile.

Well, of course he did. The man has a sixth sense for saying the most offensive shit possible to most any person at any time. www.advocate.com/news/trump-t...

Don't give our president ideas

It's been two weeks since Adelita Grijalva was elected and Mike Johnson has still refused to seat her, unlike in past cases where he swore in new members within 24 hours. There cannot be one set of rules for Rs and another for Ds. Also, release the damn Epstein files already.

What's happening in Chicago is not normal. The arrest of Alderperson Fuentes is just the latest example of how far Noem and Bovino are willing to go to ignore the rule of law. We must all speak up.

These ICE agents aren’t actual trained law enforcement professionals. They are deputized thugs. Violent scum pulled from the J6ers,Three Percenters, and Oath Keepers. They are already so repellent that giving them the chance to physically attack people they already hate is a gift to them.

The Trump administration plans to mint a $1 coin featuring Trump’s image, yet another illegal move. This violates the 1866 law, which states that only deceased individuals may appear on U.S. currency.

Healthcare is a human right. Higher taxes for billionaires, fair price to not have people living homeless on their palatial properties, or have folks sick and dying in their doorsteps.

With news that Bari Weiss is going to be the new EIC at CBS News, I wanted to reup this piece I wrote 6 years ago about how she and Bret Stephens helped turn NYT into a moral panic factory www.mediamatters.org/new-york-tim...

Puerto Rico is part of America Bad Bunny is an American What's the controversy in his half time show, if not just White Supremacy snowflakes who need a pro-MAGA white male to perform to feel valid?

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It’s about control.

RIP Jane Goodall, you were cool as hell for lots of things, but especially for liking this

Having healthy neighbors contributes to my own good health. I know that's "social"-ist , but what is good for society is good for ourselves. Why is that such a controversial idea?

if i were a would-be dictator whose only civilian check on power had been consumed by total-complete partisan loyalty, something i would definitely do is call an unprecedented in-person meeting of the only people who could stop me and then proceed to illustrate why they should stop me

"Yet again, Trump’s Religious Liberty Commission demonstrated that its true purpose is to advance a Christian nationalist agenda and impose one narrow religious view on the nation’s public school children,” - Rachel Laser baptistnews.com/article/trum...

The moment where Hegseth ends his speech and not a single officer claps is the most hopeful thing I have seen in a long time.

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it? If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say? Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

- there's ~38000 ICE officers - at $80,000 a year, that's $3,040,000,000 for ICE salaries - divide the 59,792 in ICE detention by that salary - $50,842 dollars PER ARREST - detaining costs $160 per person per day ($58,400 per year) WE COULD JUST GIVE THEM CITIZENSHIP. racism is expensive.

They might not have been federal agents THEN, but they're signing up in droves for the signing bonus and permission from SCOTUS to apply violence to racially profiled "criminals" Every accusation is a confession from Trump

Expect any non-citizen (for now) in any position of power to be harassed and abused on pretext by the secret police.

If women were afraid for their safety on the grounds of the White House behind metal fences, that seems to be the fault of adjudicated rapist Donald Trump.

James Comey handed the 2016 election to Donald Trump by announcing a sham investigation against his opponent, causing people to forget the "Access Hollywood" tape & doubt Clinton's honesty. Today, Trump thanked Comey by corruptly indicting him. To Donald, loyalty & gratitude are one-way streets.
