Fair point.

papers, please

Every Democratic lawmaker needs to speak out strongly against #ICELawlessness & brutality like Governor Walz does here. The time for mealy-mouthed timidness & focus group-talking points is over. We're facing a deadly serious threat to our national security. We need brave leaders, not cowards!

My frequent reminder that the core policy of the United States of America is coddling one lone demented old man.

Not every Simpsons prediction was dead-on, but some are still pretty close.

“He was just joking.” There is nothing funny about the sitting president “joking” about canceling elections.

Any one of us could be detained for hours by ICE despite being a U.S. citizen. Any one of us could be in the next apartment building that ICE raids in the middle of the night. Any one of us could be the next to be brutalized by ICE for speaking out. Authoritarianism hurts all of us.

He had multiple opportunities to prevent this and deliberately pissed them away.

This is Dumpling. She got her very first sweater and promptly deactivated. 12/10 (TT: jmw495)

My take: When the nation's commander in chief says A DAY OF RECKONING AND RETRIBUTION IS COMING! that's not good.

If federal agents are engaged in unlawful actions, why does the media keep referring to them as “federal law enforcement “?

a bracing headline this morning

🎯🎯

If the government says something is illegal, but the punishment is a fine, then what the government is actually saying is that it's legal if you pay the government.

My frequent reminder that the law has no power without enforcement, and the Exec Branch is the enforcement branch A few enforcement agencies (leader appointed by) US Secret Service (Trump) US Marshals Service (Trump) FBI (Trump) DoJ (Trump) DHS (Trump) DoD (Trump) Capitol Police (Cap Police Board)

Apparently folks in Columbus, Ohio, are hiding delivery drivers IN THEIR HOMES when ICE is in the neighborhood. Does this remind anyone of any recent historical period?

Not a fan of Ronald Reagan — that may come as no surprise — but, as it turns out, his famous quote has some currency: "The nine most terrifying words in the English language are, 'I'm from the government, and I'm here to help'."

This SHOULD clear it up for anyone thinking he doesn't want to be a dictator.

This has been the plan all along. - Foment violence and chaos in the streets of MN - Implement the Insurrection Act - Declare Martial Law - Suspend elections

I am a very well-informed US citizen but I honestly don't know what to do if they grab me from my car.

FIFA: we're corrupt — so what CBS: we believe the government Washington Post: yes, you're right, we were a hard hittin' newsroom but that was a long time ago, ok buddy? The NYTimes: look, if we could find word milder than 'controversy' we'd use it Twitter: @#$%! ai *&#$% child *&#$% porn @#$%!

Greenland is not for sale. Greenland debate in one sentence: U.S. sees Arctic strategy, Denmark sees international law, Greenlanders see their island.

I can’t stop saying this enough. We are no longer protesting. We are resisting an out of control federal government, and our local government is not helping.

FAFO, FIFA

How is it that the victims' testimony is subordinate to the Epstein Files?

Putin’s useful idiots are hard at work.

NOTICE FROM THE MEME WAREHOUSE: "Due to this ridiculous government statement, we are currently out of stock of 'Sure, Jan' memes. We will notify you when new stock arrives. Thank you for your patience."

BREAKING: TIM WALZ: "If you see these ICE agents in your neighborhood, take out that phone and hit record." "Help us create a database of the atrocities against Minnesotans, not just to establish a record for posterity, but to bank evidence for future prosecution."

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

Kristi Noem has been a complete and total failure at her job. She has violated her oath and has allowed ICE agents to terrorize our communities. That’s why I’m joining @robinkelly.house.gov in calling for her impeachment. We deserve better, she’s gotta go.

Fascism cannot be undone with words alone. It requires action.

The British Parliament passed the "Act Against Multipliers" #OTD in 1404. The law forbid alchemists from creating precious metals like gold or silver, and debasing currency. It was repealed in 1688 thanks to the efforts of Robert Boyle, whose work was laying the foundations of modern chemistry. 🧪

I see 'Epstein Controversy' is trending. 'Controversy' seems like really, really, really the wrong word.

Fortune Cookie didn't have a fortune -- am I cooked?

My frequent reminder that the core policy of the United States of America is to coddle one lone demented old man.

If you’re not watching Beans Talk, you’re missing out on a wide range of sophisticated news coverage. youtu.be/hBQRPwbl54U?...

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.

The New Trick: A Play in Three Acts #catsky

I don't live in MN, but I live virtually next door, and I've been in MN generally, and MPLS and St. Paul, hundreds of times, even last week. Worked there. Spent time in Chicago, too, for that matter. Nothing about this is true. It's beyond demented. The sitting US President is trying to gut the US.

This was the plan

There were 30,000-75,000 members of ISIS terrorizing the Middle East for a decade. They were able to do so through collaboration & complicity of religious leaders and businesses willing to make a profit at the expense of their neighbors. ICE is the operating exactly like a terrorist organization.

In America now there's no fine.

Redfin regularly sends me emails with a subject line of 'A home for you at $350k' or 'A home for you at $280k' Sincerely these are not 'homes for me'

How radical is a $15 minimum wage? I thought back to my first min-wage job ($3.35/hr, June 1979) and keyed that into the Bureau of Labor Statistics CPI inflation calculator with a target date of Dec 2025 — to see what just simply 'having kept up with inflation' would look like. And ... oh, I see.

Russia offers to help the U.S. Military sink NATO ships If this doesn’t convince Repubs something is terribly wrong, nothing will
