they said it couldn't be done, folks, big strong men with tears in their eyes, they came up to me and said "no president could completely wreck an entire united states economy twice", they said "no one's ever put more people out of work than you"

Watters: I was walking in my street, a car drives by and I give him a wave. He rolls down the window and says, “F U fascist.” He doesn’t know I’m a fascist! Jessica: Yes, he does. You’re on TV.

"I don’t want it to breathe or fuck for me; I want it to solve cancer...”

You know how I keep saying that every damn skill and capacity is needed in this moment??? What do you know how to do that can serve in this critical time??

Watch this, it's astonishing.

I know I don't have many followers on here, but if people can please share this. I'm on disability and supplement my income with rideshare. After someone busted my window, my mechanic found out the dealership sold me a car that needs $1220+ in repairs. gofund.me/a43d02900

I have heard about DHS literally every day for over a year

The Epstein emails should really end the debate over whether society should have billionaires. "Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll

News days are no longer feast or famine. They're more like feast or that scene from Monty Python's Meaning Of Life. You know the one. Today is one of those. With the mint.

disturbingly plausible

Catherine O’Hara didn’t steal scenes she just showed up and ownership automatically defaulted to her

There was only one Catherina O'Hara and we no longer have one and that's a significant loss. Always at least slightly unhinged, and yet always lovable. A constantly delightful performer you were always happy to see show up. Such sad news.

Was the Alamo the 9/11 of the 1830s?

Man: "But doctor, I am Pagliacci." Doctor: "Oh, fantastic, then it should be a cinch to get tickets."

This administration is not seeking the truth about Alex Pretti’s killing. It is trying to control the narrative before facts can surface. Smearing the dead, ignoring video evidence, and blocking investigations is not law and order. It is the erosion of democratic accountability in real time.

This administration is cooked. Literally no one is scared of them.

I know it’s cliche but it’s literally true: we are the politicians’ bosses. We can fire them and we can tell them what conditions we require for them to keep their jobs. It has ever been thus. Make them understand we’re not asking, we’re telling.

It has never been more clear that community and solidarity are what keep people safe, and ICE as an institution is an obstacle to public safety.

Beyond helping establish DHS itself in 2003, Mr. Mitnick was a senate-confirmed Trump choice for General Counsel for DHS in his first term. I've talked with him a few times, and he's not a man for hyperbole. So bear that in mind when you see him calling out DHS's "lawlessness, fascism, and cruelty."

This is an actual post from Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth: Praising ICE after Alex Pretti was killed, blaming the Democratic leadership of Minnesota, and writing that ICE is greater/better than Minnesota. He is actively demeaning the people of Minnesota just hours after Pretti was murdered.

Pretti clearly did not brandish his gun. Which means the government is saying he was killed for legally exercising his right to carry. It’s as clear-cut a violation of the Second Amendment as I can possibly imagine. And we’re about to see the bulk of the gun rights crowd defend his murder.

Alex Pretti, the man killed by federal agents today in Minneapolis, appears to have been a registered nurse, an athlete, a son and a brother, with ties to Colorado and Wisconsin. Here is a photo he used for several accounts.

I have spent my entire adult life being lectured by Republican politicians and conservative legal movement types about how important it is to preserve the sacred constitutional right to self-defense of *specifically this person* and then secret police murdered him in the street

Minneapolis protester as he's being brutalized by feds: "You're gonna have to kill me! You're gonna have to kill me! I've done nothing wrong! My name is Matthew James! I'm a US citizen! You're gonna kill me! Is that what you want?" (You can hear his wife screaming)

in no way the most important thing but it is incredibly jarring how many times people have opened up their devices in the last year to see autoplay videos of people being killed

I hope Susan Sarandon and Jill Stein are on the streets of Minneapolis putting their bodies on the line now that the accelerationist outcome they wanted is starting to bear fruit.

All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.

This is an execution. At least 7 ICE agents versus one man on the ground. They pistol whip the man on the ground multiple times before shooting him once, pausing, and then shooting him multiple times in quick succession. 2 executions in 17 days.

a heavily armed paramilitary force with legal immunity is occupying a city and going door to door kidnapping non-white adults and children in furtherance of an explicitly white nationalist political project

As much as you want it to happen, and as high as your hopes get the moment you think, maybe, just maybe it might finally be happening. Just imagine how crushing it is for JD Vance every time he realizes it’s not happening and this is yet another false alarm.

Danish Parliament Deputy Speaker Lars-Christian Brask: "If I could come with some advice, it would be for the Senate & House to start to take control of political power in America because with this erratic & mad behaviour, you have to ask the question, is the President capable of running the US?"

Today in life under competitive authoritarianism

I go onto this site so I can be exposed to people who think "We completely agree on this policy, but you won't use the one single word I have chosen to express that policy, therefore you are worse than my enemy." And I'm rarely disappointed in my pursuit!

The president -Is occupying a major city with armed paramilitiaries -Is blackmailing treaty allies to hand over their sovereign territory -Is trying to set himself up as chairman for life of a UN rival with $1B fees for permanent membership -Is talking about canceling elections

too many fun scenes to choose from today, but I'm going with this one :) "Insanity runs in my family..." #CaryGrant #PriscillaLane #ArsenicAndOldLace http://www.classicmoviehub.com/film/arsenic-and-old-lace-1944/

This is important & revealing. Gallego is from AZ. He ran to the right of Dems in 2024 on immigration. The fact he's saying this speaks volumes. He sees where the public is on ICE. Tear it down. Build another non-police-state-freak-show immigration enforcement agency.

Frey has been asked about this way more than Trump has been asked why he has invaded an American city based on false pretenses, where rogue secret police are kidnapping and killing people.

People in Minnesota are now using their key fobs to trigger their car alarms from the safety of their homes when they see ICE walking around.

Stephen Miller strikes me as the kind of guy who tried to burn ants alive with a magnifying glass as a kid and then fanasized about the queen ant thanking him for "culling the herd" of weak, ineffective ants.

I know it’s hard to have optimism right now, but if there’s one thing that is genuinely giving me hope it is seeing communities — hell, neighborhoods, even portions of cities — stand up in unison against tyranny in a way that is active, capable, savvy. It’s really powerful.

This is how it’s done! @abigailspanberger.com’s first act as Governor of Virginia is to repeal Glenn Youngkin’s executive order that mandated state and local law enforcement cooperate with ICE. More of this please! #LetFreedomRing

Sometimes you have to marvel at how one (repulsively) charismatic asshole got a bunch of people to vote for him to install the most absolutely unlikable, detestable, slimy bastards lurking on America's bloated underbelly into some of the highest positions of power in the world.

We shouldn't be using shit like Polymarket to bet on grotesque things like the outcome of wars, but on completely frivolous things, like whether Morrissey will actually show up to a gig. That is the exact perfect level for this completely unnecessary advance in gambling technology.

It’s always so pathetic to see how many bootlickers watch a video where someone is told in quick succession to move her car AND to get out of the car, before being murdered seconds after both, and take away “shoulda complied.”

I have 262 followers on here and probably like 10 of them are real. Social media thriving.

One of the most fundamental problems for dealing w/ ICE is the GOP provided years of ICE agent funding in the “Big Beautiful Bill.” No govt shutdown will end that funding stream, and there aren’t 2/3s votes in each chamber to rescind the funding & override a veto. Means resistance is what we have.

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness. You could be next.
