the rest of the world deferred to us not because they needed to but because it was easy, all to great benefit of us, and we destroyed that to get out of having to watch one hour diversity training videos once a year

Bruce Springsteen dedicates a song to the memory of Renee Good during a performance in New Jersey.

"This is my Rick Santelli moment, this guy. We need to track him down." @timmiller.bsky.social and @samsteindc.bsky.social on an everyday protestor in Minneapolis who gets itL

The question media should be asking: if Minneapolis only needs 600 police officers to perform all general law enforcement activities in the city, why did Trump send 3,000 federal agents to execute a statutorily and constitutionally *much* smaller task? Answer? He wanted a *war*.

And here we are: the entire transatlantic alliance is now talking about Greenland, instead of talking about ending the war in Ukraine.

GOP Senate still in fetal position as they backed away from their constitutional job to declare war. This GOP shouldn’t be trusted in any job except “pedophile protector”. Thanks to UAW worker for shouting truth at Trump. You are brave and strong and wise unlike the cowering Republican Senators.

ICE was holding a 5‑yr‑old autistic child on the street as bait to get a mother to leave her house. PAXIS can help in this situation with clear instructions of what to do and what not to do— help fund it here: gofund.me/f7c8e7424 and get it into the hands of millions.

Struck a nerve?

The only police officer shooting Republicans won’t reflexively defend is one that involved a woman who broke through police barricades and stormed the US Capitol with a huge mob ranting and raving to forcibly overturn a lawful presidential election.

After the assassination of Melissa Hortman it’s not hard to understand why a woman in Minnesota would be afraid of a man in a mask who says he’s a cop.

Reminder: ICE has a budget bigger than most militaries around the world. It has increased its spending on weapons by 700% since Trump took office. Trump is building his own personal military to terrorize American cities, trample on civil rights, and intimidate his opponents.

1. Hundreds of corps that pledged to stop donating to members of Congress who voted to overturn the election on 1/6/21 have broken their promise over the last 5 years But we've identified 10 promise keepers: Farmers Airbnb Expedia Nike Clorox Eversource Energy Holland & Hart Qurate Whirlpool Lyft

"No mainstream reporter has the stomach to say, 'By the way, this administration lies all the time and we should assume this is a lie too' after every unsupported statement." They should, because it's true.

This is Seth at his best youtu.be/CUW2GmKtqO0?...

Prison rape is wrong. Jokes about prison rape are wrong. Eliminating protections against prison rape is wrong. If another country sentenced a criminal to be raped, we'd consider it a crime against humanity. BUT A large segment of Americans regard prison rape as a de facto part of the sentence.

It used to be an impeachable offense. Now it’s a daily occurrence.

Firing over 100 immigration judges. Arresting immigrants outside of their immigration hearings. Pausing asylum decisions. And now? Cancelling citizenship ceremonies, the final step to becoming a U.S. citizen. Just remember that Trump never cared about "legal immigration."

FBI Director Kash Patel: "When you attack our nation's capital, you attack the very being of our way of life. This FBI and this DOJ stand here to tell you we will always refute it and combat it." Donald Trump pardoned over 1,500 rioters who attacked the U.S. Capitol...

Notice how nobody in the Trump regime ever asks, “But how will we pay for it?” when it comes to priorities that benefit them? https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Dxgx5q0QLcI

A Christianity that makes the ultra wealthy and powerful feel safe and supported while making the poor and powerless feel unsafe and unsupported is a Christianity that is following someone other than Jesus.

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public" - Theodore Roosevelt

No one who pardoned J/6 protesters that beat cops, etc. should ever be forgiven. This was treason and he’s doing worse today.

He could’ve fought, but he faked bone spurs. So someone else had to go in his place - most likely a working class kid whose daddy couldn’t afford to bribe a doctor. Now he’s talking shit about how it should’ve been fought.

This is a declaration they will use federal resources to deploy violence against judges, prosecutors, and attorneys general. There's no other coherent interpretation of the phrasing, including "only remedy," "legitimate state power," and connecting those people with "terror networks."

ABC suspends Kimmel indefinitely, yet offers no defense or even acknowledges what was said by Trump about their employee, Jonathan Karl.

Holy shit. This legit gave me chills. Texas State Rep. Ann Johnson clapped back at GOP members amid Wednesday's redistricting vote. WHITE WOMEN, this is the model. We have more power than others. We are the last to be silenced. We have a responsibility to SPEAK so others are HEARD.

Former Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull: “When you see Trump with Putin, as I have on a few occassions, he’s like the 12-year old boy that goes to high school and meets the captain of the football team. ‘My hero!’ It’s really creepy.”

“Putin would eat you for lunch.” Today, exactly that happened.

Koh: If he were serious about cutting crime he wouldn't be proposing cutting $400 million from the ATF or cutting $500 million from the FBI, 700 agents or the DEA with with drug enforcement or the office of violence against women, 100 million from there

If you have something you know is different in your yourself, then you have to put work into it, you have to work and work and work. You also have to believe in it, but as long as you can stay really true-you can realize your dream-I believe that can be done, because this is what happens -Jimmy Page

Dodgers utilityman Kiké Hernández took to Instagram on Saturday to express his support for immigrants and decry the recent militarized raids in the city by the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

I live in California. I do not need the Trump administration to liberate California.

🚨 Secretary Noem basically said that her agency is now dedicated to forcible regime change…in American cities and states. There 👏🏽 is 👏🏽 a 👏🏽 name 👏🏽 for 👏🏽 this

Navarro: I'm very happy to see somebody that isn't afraid to speak up and call an authoritarian an authoritarian. And if it's Newsom, as a result of what's happening in California now, I welcome it because I have been so thirsty for somebody that is not cowardly

Newsom: Trump, he's not opposed to lawlessness and violence as long as it serves him. What more evidence do we need than January 6th?

It’s not a surprise that the man who purposely incited a violent attempt to overthrow an American election would now purposely incite violence on the streets of Los Angeles as a justification for military force against American citizens. Not a surprise at all.

Far from facing a migrant invasion, the US has recently seen the lowest levels of border crossings in decades. Violent crime is also falling rapidly, including in LA. The only emergency is the one the Trump administration is creating by mandating that ICE make 3,000 arrests a day. bit.ly/4jGDpnS

You know when things were pretty quiet and peaceful in L.A.? Before ICE started arresting residents who were bothering no one and going to their jobs. And before DHS and National Guard troops showed up and made the situation worse. Of course Trump and Stephen Miller want the situation to get worse.

Since the AG doesn't seem to be getting ethics guidance from her team these days, I wanted to make sure she has the rule in the Justice Manual in front of her, which expressly prohibits this.

This country is a bad reality show. What a joke. And the world moves on from us.

2025 Trump America is a facsimile of 1934 Nazi Germany. 😳👇

The best advice from the nicest person! @hwinkler4real.bsky.social www.georgetown.edu/news/commenc...

Trump and his ilks desperation to be seen as victims is so beta and exhausting

bruuuuuuuuuuce…

Agreed! Posted this the other day. @brucespringsteen.bsky.social wrote these prophetic lyrics in 1978. Who would have thought we’d have a FAKE monarch in 2025😏 #NoKings #NoNazis #Springsteen
