History repeats

This man is brilliant.

What does Secretary Rollins think American families should eat for dinner?   "...a piece of chicken, a piece of broccoli, a corn tortilla, and one other thing."  My family ate like this in Soviet Ukraine. This isn't the American way.

@mlauriat.bsky.social @moneill16.bsky.social FUCK HER

you can't actually suppress away a wave of discontent. (relatedly, i think a lot of you have no idea how large this country is and how small its various military and security forces are relative to its population)

when the current term of the 119th congress ends on january 2 (or 3, i forget) 227, mike johnson ceases to be speaker of the house bsky.app/profile/gran...

the question to ask about this is, okay, he wants to cancel the midterms. how does he get the VA state board of elections to cancel the midterms? how does he get the georgia board of elections to do it? how does he convince republican house members to quit their jobs and give up their paychecks?

I'm afraid of the city, so the feds are right to destroy the city and kill innocent people so that I can feel less afraid of the place I already don't go to, don't want to go to, and think myself too good to go to anyway.

Listen to Rachel! Especially if you look like her!!

An insurrectionist threatening the Insurrection Act is f*ckin' rich.

What we are seeing in Minnesota has nothing to do with immigration enforcement. It’s state sponsored terrorism waged by the Trump regime to terrorize people into submission. My new article deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/trumps-cam...

That is an interesting thought.

All in. Accelerationism in every aspect. Every major city in America should expect at minimum an even less restrained, Minneapolis-sized irregular military operation by summer, and in place on Election Day to poison the vote. We have seen nothing to suggest any other intent.

Making the same mistakes Hitler did, and that Putin is making now. This feels... all too familiar.

NEW: Germany is joining Sweden and Norway deploying troops to Denmark. (Reuters)

Agree. No one more cowardly than Trump. NATO partners are now doing for foreign affairs what non-MAGA federal judges have bern doing domestically: pushing back on Trump’s inflated sense of agency

Klansmen Terrorists ICE They all wear masks. All for the same reason.

Look, we finally got Germany to start buying panzers like it’s 1938. What could possibly go wrong?

Trump is mad at Pamela Jo because she’s not going after his political enemies aggressively enough like he asked. That’s proof he’s weaponizing the Justice Department. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Trump is an actual and mental/ political cost to all of us. A year and a half ago, we could go about our business and family life without thinking about the president. He just did his job and kept things going. Congress was not great but sorta worked. No thugs in the streets, no threats to friends

Immediately after Renee Good died, Kristi Noem and Donald Trump went on TV to call her a "domestic terrorist." The video is clear: Rene Good’s death was murder. Now, federal investigators are icing out Minnesota officials.

You know Donald Trump has reached a new low as President when the Swedish Armed Forces have sent troops to stop your nutty potential invasion of an arctic island with a population of 50k. I would laugh, but it's not funny. Not funny at all.

Donald Trump does not care about working families. That's why he: 🚫 Enacted tariffs that brought up prices nationwide 🚫 Raised the cost of healthcare for millions of Americans 🚫 And tried to strip A BILLION in child care funding from Illinois' families

NEW and WOW: Germany, Netherlands, Sweden, and Canada are sending troops to Greenland amid continued threats from U.S. President Donald Trump to annex the territory, multiple outlets reported. www.newsweek.com/greenland-ge...

good ol' Clark Ashton Smith's birthday, why not read my meandering thoughts on some stories of his, eh? "The Colossus of Ylourgne" from Weird Tales, v. 23 n. 6, June 1934: geoliminal.com/2023/10/12/s...

Markey: This administration has proved time and time again that it is only interested in vengeance, that it lies and lacks all humanity. Today, six federal prosecutors resigned because the DOJ wants to investigate Renee's widow rather than Renee's killer

Murphy: The United States Congress should not fund a Department of Homeland Security that is not obeying the laws of the United States of America

🚨BREAKING: ICE agents just launched flash bang grenades at protesters in front of federal building in Minneapolis—causing massive explosions. "It's terrorizing, this isn't the America I served for 20 years in the U.S. Navy," tearful protester tells us. WE'RE LIVE NOW ⬇️

#TongueOutTuesday hello from outdoor neighbor catto Cookie. Hope you're able to find some joy, some beauty in this day. Love you all. My family sends extra hugs 🩷

The timing....

I sometimes forget how beautiful the Georgian national anthem is — until protesters sing it in traditional polyphonic harmony. Journalists and activists are gathered outside Rustavi women’s prison to mark one year since the illegal arrest of journalist Mzia Amaghlobeli. 🎥 Publika

Protests in Iran continue.

More from Iran 🇮🇷 In Khorramabad, a protester raised monarchist flag of Iran

🇮🇷 More from Iran

There's some very revelatory revisionism of early American History going on these days on the American right. This Tucker post from December 2025 captures it well. The take away is basically this--what "we" white Christians did to the noble Native Americans is what's happening to "us" today.

Weird to be commemorating the 250th anniversary of the Am Rev while living under a government that has a) sent armed troops to occupy cities perceived to be too rebellious, b) rendered largely irrelevant the representative branch of government, and c) claimed imperial right to rule other countries.

Listen to @duckworth.senate.gov “If Donald Trump wants to run a country, he should think about running the United States of America.” Her #CupOfJoe is factual, with a lot of been there, done that. #FDT

More people are going to be murdered by ICE. It’s clear. The tactics ensure it, ICE is getting more furious and being disagreed with or resisted in any way, the verminous administration supports them and has shown they will tell any lie to support ICE murdering people. /1

🚨BREAKING: Nearly three weeks after the Department of Justice (DOJ) violated a new federal law by not releasing all of its files on convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, two lawmakers now want the judiciary to step in. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Pieced together the surveillance video, including the new angle dropped by CNN (added slow-motion), and the condition of the officer after Renee Good was shot. What do you observe? Vehicles were able to drive around her with plenty of clearance. 1/2

Vigil tonight for Renee Nicole Good 🕊️

"Well, we've never been at war with our federal government before." - MN Gov. Tim Walz Natives: “Welcome to the fking club.”

Dems are still approaching this wrong. I just saw a BBC host ask a state senator if Tim Walz should call out the National Guard. He says, "No, because Minnesotans know how to protest peacefully." THAT'S NOT WHO THE GUARD IS FOR. THE GUARD IS TO PROTECT THE PROTESTERS FROM LAWLESS FEDERAL AGENTS.
