It’s a pretty low bar but you’d think not voting for the regime’s nominees while ICE and the govt is out killing US citizens would be one that they could negotiate.

The “15 places” is oddly specific. It’s as if the regime has identified 15 places in swing states to disrupt or suppress votes. They have a plan- Dems need to have one, too.

If you haven’t called or emailed your Congressional reps, do it today. And do it again, and again, and again. Let them know what you think on each and every issue.

A guy who is no position to lecture folks about what they can and can’t do, tells folks what they can and can’t do. 🙄

Can absolutely guarantee you that this Dr Oz quack has never worked a blue-collar job his entire life. He has no clue what it means to have 30-years worth of aches & pains that make you just want to stay in bed, but you know you gotta get up and get to work or you won’t get paid.

Marimar Martinez, shot 5 times by Border Patrol in Chicago, speaks out after Renee Good, Alex Pretti deaths 'I am their voice' NEW w/ @adrianacardmag.bsky.social: chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

For the “Dems can’t do much because they aren’t in power” crowd- Dems can do a lot-starting with telling us how they’re going to hold the current regime members accountable when Dems return to power. W/o a promise of accountability for MAGA democracy destroyers we’ll have the “lost cause” BS-again.

When 48% of the MN electorate is completely for or possibly for the My Pillow guy we really are on verge of ending it all at the 250th year mark. You cannot sustain a democracy with this kind of a willfully ignorant populace. You just can’t.

If you campaigned for the presidency on a promise to destroy these assholes, you would win a landslide the size of FDR in 1936, when he campaigned on a promise to destroy these assholes.

Excellent take-down thread of the “Christian Nation” bullshit.

Seems a lot easier and more efficient to just tax the rich at 1950-era rates. With the added benefit that MAGAts could then be happy again about living in the good old days.

Got a lot of things to worry about these days but the Melania movie driving MAGAts to the voting booth ain’t one of them.

In the end, I don’t care which scandal brings them down. But if we don’t hold them accountable we’ll be extending the thru-line starting w/ Robert Lee/Jeff Davis, through Nixon, on into the Great Recession, and now Trump 2.0 -where folks were never held accountable & we just wash, rinse, repeat.

Another good post on the scale of corruption of the Trump 2.0 regime. It’s easy to forget this side of the regime when they are out there killing US citizens. If it’s the corruption that brings him down (or even a medical issue) I’m good with that. But I’d rather see him hang for all the killing.

Always good to have sense of scale to the level of corruption in the Trump admin 2.0.

Interesting thread about land usage for renewable energy (photovoltaic vs corn/ethanol). I can guarantee that Ag Sec Rollins would prefer ethanol/corn & continued pollution of combustion engines. Of course, if one of her rich benefactors got seriously invested in photovoltaics, she’d change her tune

this particular line is maybe the best statement of purpose i have seen for those of us who want a more militant opposition to this administration

The reason we know that Trump is all over the Epstein files is that he isn’t trying to sue anyone for libel or slander when talking about his pedophilia. You can straight-up call him a pedophile to his face and he’ll only bleat on truth social about something else to change the topic.

Agreed. Now to get more Dem Governors and more congressional Dems to be as brave.

You really can’t count the number of ways them grifting racist pedophile, his family, and all the republican sycophants are destroying this country. We truly do not have three years, maybe not even one, to right this ship before it sinks permanently.

ICE must be razed to the ground. Any Congressional Dem that says otherwise is simply delusional or bought. We can and must rebuild our immigration system. Tearing down ICE is a requisite first step. Electing Dems not afraid to lead on this issue is a good second step.

We are truly living in the upside down when Bill Kristol is making more of a public stand for democracy in America than many congressional Dems and the corporate media.

It will be interesting to see where the 2A crowd stands when a civilian in a stand-your-ground state w/ a permitted gun kills one of these warrant-less, ID-less, badge-less, mask-covered goons trying to break into the civilian’s car/house to kidnap/beat the civilian for exercising their 1A rights.

The president of the United States had his DOJ raid the Fulton County election office and seized ballots. This is clearly a dry run for 2026. Yet, this is treated by too many in legacy media as normal. I founded Democracy Docket in 2020 because you deserve better. Subscribe now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Every time a Dem mentions a Republican for whatever issue du jour, they need to end their statement with “…and the republican members of congress are enabling an international pedophile ring”. Tie this abhorrent behavior to them - daily and loudly.

A bunch of armed dudes with no IDs jump out of a private SUV & the DOJ thinks the average citizen should comply with their demands? It’s clear nothing has changed here in MN since last Saturday’s murder of Alex Pretti by armed ID-less thugs. More Minnesotans are going to die while DC pols fiddle

Looking at you Canada - please just annex our state.

Some things to do (and not to do) this fine chilly MN Saturday

My tax dollars going to SNAP to help a junkie feed their kid rather than funding corrupt projects of a govt run by a pedophile who is supported by a Cabinet full of pedophile-enablers. I could only hope.

And this fucking cold-blooded killer -Jonathon Ross- still has not seen the inside of a courtroom. The DOJ is too busy arresting black journalists rather than killers, I guess.

Little Radar is so tired of ICE and ice here in Minnesota that she is sleeping the day away. But she asked me to wish all her #catsofbluesky friends a Happy #Caturday.

This shit right here is why I’m working to find progressive candidates for MN gov and US senate. Same shit - different day for MAGA and the corporate Dems.

Here’s a podcast that does a good job of laying out what’s at stake, and why all of us need to get off the sidelines to demand change.

This is the ICE agent that threatened a PEACEFUL UNARMED Protester .. His Family in Florida must be so proud!

Pretty scary thread in already scary times.

Rest in Peace Alex Jeffrey Pretti🙏🏾 The VA ICU Nurses send him off right 💔

Ok folks - I’m outta here for awhile. Gonna take a different tack toward keeping fascism at bay. I’ll be back when the racist, xenophobic, war-mongering, draft-dodging, dementia-addled, grifting rapist is dead and our discourse can focus on rebuilding a broken nation.

Excellent!

Boy, was wrong about Machado. I thought she was a real leader. She’s just a chump, like Trump.

I think state and local police have already made their “shit or get off the pot” choice with respect to protecting those in their communities from ICE. They ain’t gonna help us.They are too much like ICE. How many state/local LEOs have spoken up about the abuse let alone tried to protect anyone?

the president has declared war on an american state and the leaders of the opposition wont shut the fuck up about retraining the stormtroopers

We are way past these appeals for reason. They are laughing at you in DC, Governor Walz. After ICE murdered one of your citizens, the govt sent in more untrained thugs and hid the murderer. They are laughing at your inability to stop them.

Gotta agree with this one. Folks are aching for a leader with a backbone.

Nothing says elite federal operation like leaving your homework on the bus.

The admin keeps saying we need Greenland for national security. Against whom? Russia? If so, why not support Ukrainian fighters who, with a consistent supply of US war matériel, could decimate Russia’s non-nuke military capabilities for decades to come. But it ain’t about National Security is it?

I expected no less (or more) from Hakeem and Chuck. ‘Nough said about those two wastes of space. OTOH - Amy is running for governor & should be out in front of cameras daily. She could be showing true leadership but is hiding in DC behind the consultants. She’s not the one we need for Governor.

ICE is even affecting vacation plans here in MN. Each year we advertise nationally for house/cat sitters to take care of our place in rural southern MN when we take our annual vacation. This year our advertising has been met w/ silence. Don’t blame folks as ICE is infesting even the small towns here

I think if St Ronnie had publicly given permission to be racist/xenophobic like Felon47 has given the current MAGA mob, we’d have arrived at this stage 40 yrs ago. Older Republicans have pretty much always been like MAGA -just better at hiding their racism, xenophobia, & hatred of poor folks.

Trump is threatening wars with NATO and Venezuela for the same reason he’s at war with the American people: fascism must always be on the march. Authoritarians are good at offense, but bad at defense. The only strategy for combating the Epstein crisis is literally going to war.
