She's not getting nearly the coverage that Lemon is getting. Thanks, Scott.

Pretty soon, they will start debanking people. Americans have no idea how bad it is going to get.

Elections have consequences. MAGA voted for this and they won. Now we have a cruel dictator ruling over a government that's been stripped of good and dedicated people and filled with corrupt filth like Noem and Homan. We will not be okay. This is our reality and it will persist until we end it.

Gavin Newsom: “ You will not have a country if he rigs this election — you will have a president who will be running for a third term He is wrecking this country, wrecking the economy. He's a lawless president. Wake up, America — wake up to what's going on”

Trump’s deployment of federal troops has cost taxpayers nearly $500 million so far — and could surpass $1 billion for the rest of the year. That’s after slashing SNAP and Medicaid, letting ACA subsidies expire, and gutting countless other federal programs. Priorities.

It is huge, although I'm sure most Americans will either yawn or barely notice. Our collective complicity in America's demise takes my breath away.

Yes - until you see it firsthand, it’s hard to understand how upsetting and enraging it is to see these guys operate in your community. They are dressed for war, they beat civilians up, they openly antagonize neighbors, they’re masked, they carry people away. Everyone is livid at every scene.

Someone tell Merz to send some of this 'joy of self-respect' to the US Congress.

Nationwide Vigil for Alex Pretti Sun, Feb 1 at 6 PM, communities across the country will gather in front of VA medical centers to honor the life and service of Alex Pretti. In CLE, meet at: Louis Stokes VA Medical Center 10701 East Blvd Cleveland, OH 44106 Pls share Via @twrader.bsky.social

The one things Americans are NOT divided on is the value of a dollar bill. We argue about how many greenbacks a person should have, or how we distribute all those George Washingtons. But none of that matters when you walk into a Starbucks: That Caffe Latte’s gonna run you four bucks. 1/4

“They all carry belts and vests with 9,000 pieces of equipment on them and the best they can do is shoot a guy in the back?” “Some of them pass around a flask as we are watching a suspect.” “The brand new agents are idiots.” ~~~~ Reporting that (weirdly) gave me hope:

"This is a preschool you stupid mother f*ckers. There's kids here you f*cking idiots." Donald Trump is using our tax dollars to teargas toddlers in America.

You cannot subjugate an armed electorate. If you're a firearms enthusiast and didn't see this coming a mile away, I just don't know what.

Businesses in America are having to spend money in America to keep their employees safe from American ICE "agents" whose murderous activities against our fellow Americans are funded by Americans like YOU and ME.

Until Pretti's killers are identified, Americans should assume every ICE "agent" is a cold-blooded murderer.

It's not quite the most pressing issue at the moment, but the American people absolutely have a right to know the names of the federal officials who shot and killed a man peacefully protesting, who was on his knees, prone in the street when they shot him in the back.

Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days. His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

Dear Mr. President, Why don't you just feed Bovino to Lindsey Halligan (she's prolly bored outta her mind) and then you can worry about lowering heating costs* for the millions of Americans in the middle of this staggering freeze. *ICYMI, natural gas went up 28 percent JUST YESTERDAY

Friends, Team Trump is in a very tough spot. Any public admonishment of the ICE thugs is strictly verboten because that would discourage participation in all the distasteful activities required to implement The Plan. What's next? I have no idea, but I will certainly be watching.

Oh how I loved this.

Ellison: "The Bondi letter reveals what this is all about. This is not about fraud and it's not even about immigration, and it's certainly not about law enforcement. It's about handing over documents of the state of Minnesota, private information, including voting information, to the federal govt."

Here's a link for y'all to post next time some jackass snorts and says, "betcha the libs miss their global warming now," during this cold snap.

BELIEVE YOUR EYES, NOT THEIR LIES

Clearly, the only thing to do on a day like this is make banana cupcakes with peanut butter buttercream frosting.

"I am sending Tom Homan to Minnesota tonight. He has not been involved in that area, but knows and likes many of the people there. Tom is tough but fair, and will report directly to me." --djt Despite the (ahem) content of that tweet, it also signals that Miss Kristi is in big trouble with daddy.

“Over the course of a lifetime, we face only a few moments where the decisions we make and the actions we take will shape our history for years to come. This is one of them. If we give our freedoms away after 250 years, we might never get them back.” — President Bill Clinton, 1/25/26

An ancient and familiar pandemic is circling the globe: Hate.

The Minneapolis siege is a coming out party. With all the levers of government in their control, the Project 2025 crowd believes they’re posed to subjugate Americans and rule the US with an iron fist. They believe this dominance is preordained, hence the audacity of their lies.

"What was clear in person, seeing the scene outside of the frame, were the limits of this performance of power. The agents had no capacity to maintain order or much apparent interest in doing so. Their presence was a vector of chaos, and controlling it was not in their job description." No paywall:

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

Only MAGA bootlickers whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron are defending this photo

Well I'll be damned. NBC posted a list of all the people our murderous DHS has shot.

Know your rights. Stop ICE’s attack on our communities.

While I put my Facebook acct to sleep about a year ago, I predicted Trump's demo of the White House over there. I also predicted he would be the first POTUS to take away your guns. Now just dig how they're attacking Pretti's right to bear arms, and then go look up United States v. Hemani.

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

The Trump admin’s message is clear: We don’t care what you saw. You saw what we say you saw. So is the subtext: Careful how you react. You don’t want to get on one of our lists, now do you? Holy shit, friends. We are here.

My friends, if you have any room for it on this terrible day, here's a jigsaw of Miami Beach circa 1950s. If I were still drinking, I'd raise a glass to the sweet naive Americans in all those glorious buildings. As it is, I'll shed a tear for them instead.

Masked GOV goons are gunning people down in the street while more than 200 million Americans face a deadly winter storm, but you'd never know it looking at Bluesky's "trending" lineup. WTF?

I guess we're going to see exactly how many people are with Mr. Trump and his Second American Civil War and how many are against him. And yes, you will be picking a side if you haven't already.

STOP STATE SANCTIONED MURDER IN AMERICA

Stop what you are doing and watch this footage.

William Vermie, "an Army veteran and Purple Heart recipient says that he was tackled and arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Minneapolis and held in a cell for eight hours without being allowed to contact an attorney or his family." ABC News

I wish we had a POTUS who was urging everyone to stay safe in the forthcoming storm and reassuring us that FEMA and other fed agencies are working in full force with local teams to respond to this monster as it rolls across the country. But no. Instead Trump & Co. are busy terrorizing 5-year-olds.

ICE made a Minneapolis man leave his house in his underwear

I cannot resist a vintage Eaton jigsaw. The question is, could I resist eating chocolate the entire time I worked this one? Only my hairdresser knows for sure ... ; )

My Fellow Americans are starting to understand that it was a monumentally bad idea to get back together with that ex everyone else hated. Paywall-free link:

Gee. Seems the algo bots will have to get a bit quicker on their feet. Since Trump mumbled "never mind" in Davos regarding (ahem) America's forthcoming invasion of Greenland, so many of these insightful and topical posts are no longer relevant. How long will the world tolerate this bullshit?

I just took a ride with Uber, and my driver is from Venezuela. He spent the whole trip expressing concern that the same shift from democracy to dictatorship he saw in Venezuela is happening right now in the United States. He’s absolutely incredulous that Americans are allowing it to happen.

“I feel as though the weapon I built is coming to kill me and my people.” --Sahra Sharif, Minneapolis small business owner, Trump voter, and mother of 16.

Lindsey Halligan's "smile" reminds me of the Duchess from Alice in Wonderland. Have a nice life, Lindsey.
