Vice President JD Vance gets roundly booed at the opening ceremony of the Milano-Cortina 2026 Olympics. "Those are a lot of boos for him, whistling jeering," says the presenter. US athletes receive a warm welcome from fans, though.

Over 73,000 people are currently in ICE custody, the most ever... But that's not the only shocking number: - There has been a 2,450% increase in the number of people with no criminal record being held in ICE detention on any given day.

This cannot be something a civilian law enforcement agent is allowed to wear in the US — and an agency that has a culture that tolerates this cannot be saved.

Not to get political, but America is very pretty and has a lot of nice folks making cool things, and I think if we had a president who wasn’t actively trying to murder us, we could have a pretty good time

Not your mother's protest here in Portland. High Schooler are out in force as part of the national strike.

Not sure if these are bot accounts or not, but I keep seeing Canadian accounts angrily lumping all Americans together during this regime and having no sympathy for what we’re dealing with here. And on 1 hand, I DO get it. This country (and especially the Trump admin) is the world’s bully. 1/3

Today is one of those days where I’m trying desperately to not stare into the void of despair, but it’s incredibly difficult. I’m tired of the worst of the worst shitting all over our freedoms and getting away with it and being terrible people while we lose the best among us.

In one month the Trump regime has murdered two citizens, detained and assaulted hundreds more, disappeared even more residents of the country and jailed two journalists. And they are vowing more of the same. yet the Post, Times, CNN etc keep insisting it’s a phase Dear Leader will pivot out of.

Bondi directed federal agents to arrest four journalists. Georgia Fort, Don Lemon, Jamael Lundy, and Trahern Crews. All Black. All doing their jobs.

reminder that a small handful of Republicans in the House and Senate could end this madness today

and we are not over reacting

This isn’t about convicting Don Lemon. It’s unlikely that will happen. It’s about intimidating journalists & making them censure themselves out of fear of consequences. It’s about eroding the free press because the administration can’t afford the criticism.

This is Georgia Fort as she’s being arrested by federal agents. Apparently, they had a grand jury indictment in hand. She was arrested for being an independent journalist who filmed the Cities Church protest.

White House with image of a Black man and an emoji of chains. And the chosen image is of Don Lemon doing journalism.

Arresting Black journalists is also vice signaling. Their base is racist and hates journalists and they want to get them excited again. The mainstream media industry has never protected Black journalists or journalists of color the way it should.

These are all Black people. The regime is betting that you wont care Jamael & Trahern the way you care about Alex & Renée

Trump’s efforts to interfere in midterms becoming clearer & more dangerous every day: -using ICE to terrorize blue states & cities -seizing ballots in heavily Dem counties -prosecuting 2020 enemies -extorting states for sensitive voter data www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Be angry. Be exhausted. Be shocked that is happening in this country. Yell. Raise hell. Be educated. Post what you feel. Share the victims names. Remember to take care of yourself, too. We weren’t meant to intake this much trauma and news. Fuck 🧊.

i think this attitude — that all opposition is illegitimate and nothing we do can be questioned— is probably pervasive in the white house and helps explain why they keep making terrible political choices

Really hard to look at this and all the other examples of bravery and kindness from ordinary people in this moment not think also of the tremendous cowardice exhibited over the past year by some of the richest, most well-protected people in business, media and politics

They have literally turned a major American city into a battle zone. If you saw a news report that looked like this coming out of another country, would you think the government that people feel the need to protect themselves from like this were the good guys? Of course not.

Renee Good was literally Good, a Mom driving her 5 year old child to school. Alex Pretti was a nurse who did more to help American citizens than Stephen Miller could ever imagine. And the first thing, this monstrous Administration did was to slander them.

I'm not sure Democrats in D.C. are aware that their base's rage against ICE has reached a level of blinding white-hot intensity. They're worried about "looking weak" for voting "against law enforcement" when they should be worried a mob of housewives is going to come beat them to death if they do.

ICE executed Alex Pretti. Anything else you’re told is a lie.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

These monsters are sick.

If only we as a country, as we celebrate the 250th anniversary of our independence, had some historical events from our founding era that might help us understand why agents of a distant government shouldn’t murder protesters on the streets of the city where they live.

I am watching what is happening in Minneapolis on Ali Velshi and one of the ICE officers (off camera) literally says, “It’s like Call of Duty. Pretty cool huh?” as they shoot whatever it is they are shooting. Agents walking around, guns unholstered for no reason. This is insanity

I am doing my best to respond to this without a string of expletives. But let's be very clear. What just happened in Minnesota was cold blooded murder of a civilian by out of control federal agents, aided and abetted by the entire Trump administration and their fascist enablers.

I've seen several popular movements in my lifetime and history now as someone who teaches comparative politics. When people show up in the dead of winter, on a workday, when it is the most inconvenient because of cold, it shows how strongly they are motivated against the government.

This is collective care in action. We see you.

Imagine hating gay people so much that you justify voting for Trump.

This thread is fucking INSANE. And for once, not political crazy. Just everyday crazy.

Just to be clear: the President is single-handedly dragging America to economic crisis and war with our closest allies. And why? To conquer an overseas territory that we have no claim to, have never had a claim to, and already have military bases on. Oh, and because he didn’t get a prize.

it's more or less impossible to find issues that poll this badly and he's decided to make it a major, public priority www.cbsnews.com/news/ice-tru...

every single successful general strike in US history has had union backing through the local AFL-CIO this is the first time it’s been called for since the 1940s

ICE has kidnapped so many people from their cars that the city had to put out this statement. Let that sink in.

THIS is the energy we need from elected Dems. And next time they both have primaries, I look forward to voting for their opponents. We need fresh blood who has the fire needed for this fight.

Because we desperately need positive news, here’s some from my state. Given the politics of VA, I envision most or all of these passing on the ballot this year.

Virginia's legislative session only started yesterday, and it was a very big day. The House already passed four constitutional amendments on Day 1: —protect abortion rights —repeal the same-sex marriage ban —allow mid-decade redistricting —greatly expand voting rights restoration. Next: Senate.
