You know, just winning Trump +10+ districts in the South by 20-30 points.

Ossoff: We were told that MAGA was for working-class Americans. But this is a government of, by, and for the ultra-rich. It’s the wealthiest Cabinet ever. This is the Epstein class. They are the elites they pretend to hate.

Is anybody ever gonna take a step back and realize the "Russia Russia Russia" people — derided as lunatic wine moms — were actually underplaying the foreign influence stuff, and the loud people who kept insisting it was all fake are now saying Jeffrey Epstein was kind of a cool guy?

A small group of protestors assembled near an empty warehouse in Byhalia, Mississippi, in mid-January with one objective: to stop the U.S. Department of Homeland Security from converting the building into an immigration detention center.

THIS. They’re in the South Metro now, hitting Carver County & Minneapolis suburbs HARD. NOTHING HAS CHANGED. They’re detaining observers because ICE & CBP believe the real problem is people filming them, not that ICE & CBP is committing domestic terror. Less footage = less national news coverage.

I gotta say this reads as spooked. GOP has always played like they're the ones with agency and do the ratfucking. They're not really built for a world when the dems don't engage them in good faith and just go to war with them back.

perks of living in a city: when trump dies i will hear it before i read it.

I cannot emphasize enough: That Guy is the everyday customer at my shop. The genius of the fascists is in continuing to throw spaghetti at the wall (because they have unlimited dark money from billionaires), until they find a way to capture and mobilize all of the That Guys. There are a lot of them!

VA Gov. Spanberger (moderate, was in CIA) and NYC Mayor Mamdani (left, is in DSA) both taking steps to block local law enforcement from helping ICE as it violently violates people's rights is a good example of how the relevant divide in the Dem coalition isn't center-left, it's fight-don't fight.

for better or worse, people will forget about that video by the end of the year, if not end of the month. but when trump finally kicks the bucket, there were be orgasmic celebrations across the US & around the world. he will be remembered as the most despised US president since WWII for generations

What it means to live in a walkable community: you realise that you have no milk left for your afternoon cup of tea. You stroll down the road to your local shop, getting some milk and some fresh air in the process. 10 minute round trip, happy days.

"By the end of the two-year period, 94% of participants reported they were housed." A million pilot programs show the same thing: when people are given enough money to afford housing, homelessness ends. Other supports matter, but housing comes first. Not policing. Not moralizing. Homes.

In no functioning country is this allowed.

There has to be an investigation into the many individuals who committed heinous crimes alongside Epstein. There should be a special prosecutor, or a congressional investigation, that looks into the crimes and the ongoing cover-up. It has to happen.

i don't particularly disagree with a lot of the critiques of anarchist activism by liberals but I bristle when they act as if their best practices are any wiser. we're here because none of us figured out how to avoid being here. everyone should have some goddamn humility.

gotta say, the more you take a step back and look at it, the more it reminds me of the forces that led to the youth revolt of the 60s. a generation of morally bankrupt and complacent parents who raised their kids to believe in ideals they themselves did not care about are shocked that their kids do

All I know is if Taylor Swift won AOTY this year she wouldn’t have said shit about ICE

I need you to know that Bainbridge Island has a version of "find it fix it" and that anyone can look at the submissions people send in. I also need you to see this:

They wanted to destroy society because the existence of a high functioning society threatens their ability to enslave and rape children

PNW cities need to tear up their contracts with Flock

They really should be called the Trumpstein Files

the Republican Party will get worse before it gets worse, but God willing it will also get a whole lot smaller

our comp plan is a public health and livability nightmare - funneling affordable housing and renters on to loud, dangerous, and polluted streets that are difficult to cross - while protecting homeowners from the arterial renters continue to be fodder to protect wealthy. this sucks so much.

Am I positive that video shows the president shitting himself on camera? No. Do I think we should spend an entire week debating it? Oh yes.

What do you MEAN the president audibly SHIT himself live on camera and they immediately cancelled the press conference and rushed everyone out of the room like it's a fire drill, and it happened two days ago, and I'm just hearing about it NOW?

that's the backstop here there's no principles left, there's no coherent framework, there's no platform to be debated the American right has decided that they're going to do what they want, rules be damned, and if you try to stop it then we'll shoot you with a gun

sure they’re tear-gassing toddlers but what do the polls say

Each time I point out that the Republican platform is simple (they want to sexually abuse children, and they want you to pay for it), a few people think I'm exaggerating, and usually some small number of people think I'm being sardonic or something. I mean it quite literally.

at some point these progressive big-city mayors are gonna have to break the political power of police unions and I’m worried about the time and political capital it‘s going to take

Critical Mass Seattle organized a unity ride for Alex Pretti where Seattle’s cycling community truly came together. Over a thousand people turned out with a clear message: Fuck ICE.

Elon Musk chatting it up with his friend Jeffrey Epstein five years after he was convicted for child sex crimes 👍

Of the biggest scandals in US history just this week, I think I’d rank them: 1) Federal paramilitaries invade US city based on racist lies, murder US citizens 2) Slush fund for the president from stolen foreign resources held in Qatar 3) Whatever FBI and DNI are doing re: 2020 election in Georgia

I know all eyes are on Minneapolis, but there's a fast-approaching nightmare in Springfield, Ohio. Trump is revoking protected status for tens of thousands of Haitians living there on Feb. 3. Reportedly, on Feb. 4, 1000 ICE agents are arriving to remove this population. Ethnic cleansing.

again, if you are hearing about an empathetic, soulful, new-tone trump pivot calming things down in Minnesota, the people who are telling you this are trying to trap your mind inside a false, alternate reality. please consider why exactly they are doing this.

Leading democratic politicians should make plans to be in Springfield on February 4th

Similarly, the point of "First They Came" is not "when they came for me, that's when it was bad." They point is everyone should oppose them when they first start coming for people, even if it's not anyone you know or like. Because if you don't, things usually get worse from there.

A reminder that ICE hasn’t slowed down in Minneapolis at all. Outside of Minnesota, it might feel like everything has changed since Alex Pretti’s murder. But ICE hasn’t actually lost any power and they’re continuing to terrorize our communities.

Just a reminder that both Ilhan Omar and Maxwell Frost have been attacked this week. No outrage by right-wing media or even corporate media. Now imagine if this were done to Republicans. The entire system is rigged in favor of conservatives, folks. The double standards are just wild.

betrayed? by Donald Trump? who could possibly have predicted this???

Just started doing new data analysis and I know I keep saying this, but: I really, really don't think people appreciate how much this moral panic was a deliberate and extremely expensive invention.

They assaulted him once. He went right back. There's a great old word to describe that: "valor." The kind they give medals for in wars. The other side are such cowards. We will win. edition.cnn.com/2026/01/27/u...

"ICE is why the economy sucks" is a very powerful argument because 1) fuck ICE 2) "thinks past the sale" of convincing people the economy sucks 3) kinda true but in an obviously suspect and debatable way, trapping your opponents into arguing into your frame. bsky.app/profile/tadt...

we are going to need to prosecute all the people who paid bribes to Trump.
