Masked thugs on the streets. Measles outbreaks across the nation. Blatant government corruption. Coverup of group of elite sex offenders. Ruling party trying to rig elections. Leader building grandiose monuments to himself. Collapse of remnants of nonpartisan civil service. Third world America.

In Politika, Aristotle says you can recognize a tyrannical regime in the fact that it intrudes into every aspect of the lives of its subjects while enshrouding the tyrant and his enablers in complete secrecy. What we see with ICE is the demonstration of that principle. bsky.app/profile/davi...

Our federal government has lost all credibility and no longer has any right to the benefit of the doubt. We should call it what it is, lies. www.reuters.com/world/us/evi...

Does this appear to be reasonable force? Is this how you want your federal tax dollars spent? Is this de-escalation? Federal agents pin a protester to the ground and spray a chemical irritant directly into his face in south Minneapolis on Jan. 21 (Richard Tsong-Taatarii/The Minnesota Star Tribune)

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

In Boston, protestors were recorded chanting: "We're not cold, we're not afraid, Minnesota taught us to be brave."

Is anyone surprised that Kristi Noem, the person who shot and killed her own dog for acting up, would think it's OK to do the same with people who disagree with her?

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew.

To Gregory Bovino: This is what brandishing a firearm at a protest looks like.

This only happened because DOJ let them get away with Renee Good.

Federal agents just murdered another person in Minneapolis today. These ICE agents really are the worst of the worst. They no longer deserve any benefit of doubt.

Unconstitutional and unconscionable...

Listening to trump's speech at Davos today, I have never been more embarrassed to be an American. Please remember that most of us didn't vote for this pathetic excuse of a president.

Liberty lost

I'd much rather have immigrants living in my neighborhood than ICE agents.

This is a better angle to see that she was fucking MURDERED

You know, it's almost as if that FIFA Peace Prize didn't mean anything.

So the “closed” daycares…were closed during the last week of the year, during which most daycares are closed. And the doors were “locked,” which they are at every daycare. And they wouldn’t let in a “journalist” with a camera…which they wouldn’t do at any daycare. Got it.

Oh to be so lucky that this administration is nearly computer illiterate.

Did anyone expect that they wouldn't redact trump's name or simply not release the pages where he's named?

The RFK, jr effect.

Has he released his MRI yet? How about his taxes or the Epstein files?

Every time I see donald trump, I am going to point at him and say "Quiet, Piggy!"

From one murderer to another...

President Trump walking past the flag at the Whitehouse which has fallen to the ground

Is Bubba the reason they named it The Big Beautiful Bill?

Not just higher prices, which is bad enough, but also more pollution from dirty fossil fuels.

So here's where we are, Sunday morning: Trump is trying to starve hungry kids in order to bully Democrats into abandoning our fight against health care premium increases. So Trump is starving kids in order to deny families health care. Dystopian.

A majority of the days the government has ever been shut down, Donald Trump was president. www.howtoreadthisch.art/red-versus-b...

Trump will illegally defy a court order just so he can starve poor people over a political dispute.

"A government shutdown falls on the president's lack of leadership. I mean, problems start from the top and they have to get solved from the top. A shutdown means the president is weak." - Donald Trump, 2013

It’s a start. Keep making phone calls to keep partisan politics out of airport safety PSAs.

For the generals yesterday, resistance meant total silence. And I thank them for it. But for the rest of us, silence is cowardice. Silence in the face of this daily onslaught against democracy, the rule of law, pluralism, the Constitution, and basic human decency is utter cowardice.

The president embarrasses the country, and himself, in front of the world. www.dw.com/en/fact-chec...

On this we agree wholeheartedly.

Work f#cking harder, relaxing tea!

Fearful Americans Stockpiling Facts Before Federal Government Comes To Take Them Away https://theonion.com/fearful-americans-stockpiling-facts-before-federal-gove-1819579589/

📌It's amazing how little attention this is getting, when it's crystal clear these anti-American, fascist Republicans would prefer nobody ever voted again. Pretend what the unrelenting backlash would have been had ANYBODY in the Biden administration posted this.

If only we had a vaccine for the virus that is JFK Jr.

I realize broad science-literacy problems cannot generally be solved just by shoving more facts at people but I really wish more people understood that the entire purpose and mechanism of a vaccine is to educate your OWN immune system, making it about the most "natural" medical intervention possible

Of all of the ways to find cat puke, my favorite is with the bottom of my foot.

It's the lovely time of year when the yard is filled with the delightful scent of lilacs.

"The administration appears not to be able to attract the caliber of federal officials to which Americans have become accustomed." ~ Heather Cox Richardson, noting the obvious as well as what most would consider an understatement about the lack of qualifications for these federal positions.

Make no mistake, the only thing being liberated on this so-called Liberation Day, is your hard-earned money being liberated from your bank account.
