joe biden (who didn’t have personal death squads) still polling lower than trump on immigration. most respondents identify the republicans as the party to be trust on immigration

do you know how sick in the head you have to be to watch a man get murdered in the streets for hours?

I want to say this too: this victory was won because we had observers EVERYWHERE. ICE and CBP couldn't set foot in our city without cameras rolling. Much of the nation seemed determined to ignore our plight for weeks, but the avalanche of documentation we produced dragged the nation to us.

The killing of Alex Pretti and the grotesque lying was an overreach by the administration. They've paid a price and had to pull back a bit. But it's when there's some disarray that the democratic opposition needs to intensify the offensive, and turn a marginal tactical success into a major victory.

A battle over consent erupts between Jeffrey Epstein and fifteen-year-old child.

Lmfaooooo it’s so over for this guy

this is an absolutely insane thing to post. codes 100% as “wealthy brat”

Saw this and it’s just wild

Some have called this "a new frontier in trigger discipline"

Feel like I should do a thread at some point breaking down why the Clinton statement is really good and the Obama statement is forgettable and boring

hell yeah

This is one of the things that I find is most shocking to people outside Minnesota who don’t realize it yet—the scale at which everyone who isn’t white has been forced into a spectrum of hiding. Very good article drawing out the Tahrir Square comparison.

they’re also like weirdly homophobic and have blocked all gay guys on that website including me while i was on it???

They are freaked out that Trump is gonna blow the midterms (and 2028) by continuing his extremist, unpopular position on something they frankly don't care that much about and are trying to convince him to change course

It is v funny how anytime one of them notices Evelyn Normielib is firing up something called the Woke Ion Cannon they‘ll dismiss him as a fear mongering beta cuck who needs to keep the faith they’ll be greeted as liberators

I do think that a possibly underrated dynamic in The Horrors is that the Right as it has reconstituted itself under Trump legitimately can’t understand sincere moral or physical courage

It's funny to me, how many people seem to think that NIMBYism in California is principally a fiscal zoning phenomenon. Basically all of the Los Angeles downzonings were finished by the time Proposition 13 took effect.

He knows he's going to get booed.

Lot of conservative dudes out there telling on themselves by being astounded by a level of ”logistics” that the average mom has to manage every fucking day

these guys are LARPing like siege commanders talking about "supply lines" rightoids literally cannot comprehend the idea of a community caring for their own; these people live in Minneapolis their supply line is a five minute drive to the grocery store

Houston officials: please stay home and do not drive on the ice, you will crash your car Houstonians: i have got to go crash my car on the ice

torture memo author and somehow still not a persona non grata writes that maybe we should do more and worse crimes, please?

I spent the most formative years of my political life reading headlines like this seemingly every week.

christ. I hadn't seen this exact frame pulled out.

This is who legacy media keeps saying is the answer to Democrats’ challenges. But like her vote 48 hours ago to increase ICE funding, this is not a viable political program in 2026

everything i’ve seen indicates they’ve completely lost narrative control. influencers are dancing on instagram with abolish ICE signs

Saying there must be trials isn't just an emotive aspiration. Congress can: - Create a new court (complying w/ 6A jury vicinage) - Give it jurisdiction over defined category of crimes - Also create dedicated prosecutors for the same - Strip SCOTUS of appellate jurisdiction It can be done.

15 years ago I borrowed a bulletproof vest from a reporter so I could report from a war zone. I held onto it after I returned. Last week the reporter finally asked for it back because he is headed to Minneapolis.

Yes, the GOP controls Congress. That's why it's key to show Congress COULD stop the madness. And it's not just the DHS bill. Congress could repeal the prior multi-year $75b for DHS; set up a special investigative committee (cf. Watergate); amend the Insurrection Act; etc.

ICE killing #AlexPretti should remind you of police killing #PhilandoCastille. Both men had concealed weapon permits, did not draw their guns, & were killed in Minn. These homicides are the price of unaccountable policing. These deaths are variations on the same fatal theme.

Two and half minutes. That’s all the time the CBS Evening News thought today’s events in Minneapolis were worth. Not even time to tell viewers what Alex Pretti did for a living. The winter storm got 8 minutes. NBC Nightly News spent 8 minutes, nearly half the show, on Pretti’s killing

the two choices in American politics are "yeah they're not exactly where I am on a lot of issues but there's also lots of overlap of my views" and "they are stabbing me in the balls with knitting needles right now" and too many people say "this is the same"

My buddy's 15 year DnD group is imploding because a couple of the long time players are defending the ICE murders and everyone else is appalled. This is a red line for normal people in a "get the fuck out and never talk to me again" way. The evil and injustice is instantly recognizable.

the fact that the NRA is offering even this incredibly mild level of resistance is significant. People do not like what they are seeing.

There's a prison revolt at a concentration camp in Texas in solidarity with Minneapolis:

Another ruling just yesterday in Minnesota: A federal judge calls it "particularly craven" that ICE transfered "a nursing refugee mother" out of state. Ta Eh Doh Lah was admitted as a refugee from Myanmar in 2024, has no criminal history and a 5-month-old. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

man.

it is kinda insane the first hit AI song was “we are charlie kirk”

I’m a big fan of civilization. Rule of law, public health, universities, science, all good things. Great stuff. It may not be ‘politically correct’ to say this but I’m also a fan of what civilizations have done to idiot barbarian hordes who attempted to trample on those things.

this means that asmongold is smarter than eigenrobot

it feels notable for our understanding of what MAHA is that this guy is releasing supervillain monologues with the MAHA logo on them

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

When the CBP or ICE agent that Stephen Miller is trying to get killed dies, it is extremely important that every member of the media be told, repeatedly and loudly, that they wanted this and that people called it out in advance.

JFC

the civ-mil crisis of municipal policing will come for elected Democrats whether they like it or not

The Eighth Circuit also murdered Pretti by staying the injunction against DHS abusing citizens in Minneapolis.

Snap elections, confidence votes, proportional representation, so many boring electoral mechanisms that I wish we had in this country

The plan is the midterms This website doesn't want to grapple with that reality because they're going to be in denial over the consequences of the 2024 election until like the middle of this century
