This was a very important vote tonight. Here's why. For the past year Trump’s illegal tariffs have crushed our economic growth, hit American families with higher costs, killed the very manufacturing jobs we were told they would multiply, and alienated our closest allies. 1/

in fact you do not have to show your ID when you board a train in the united states, you only need to show your ticket (which can be purchased without an ID)

The Internet is so scary to authoritarians precisely because it allows people outside their reach to say things that they don't like. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

this is incredibly frustrating. By framing this as a policy demand Dems are aiding a disinformation campaign that is intended to confuse the public about what is constitutionally required.

AOC on DHS Warehouses: I think every American should be alarmed. They are building—and have built—a black box system that disappears people, both immigrants and U.S. citizens alike.

Turns out firing career diplomats and replacing them with Trump loyalists who learned international relations from Truth Social has consequences. Who knew. #holdfast

Trump said for years he'd make his tax returns public if he weren't under audit. Now he wants $10 billion dollars in "compensation" for something he said was no big deal.

ICE detention—i.e. caging of tens of thousands of people that upon which hundreds of parasitic corporations profit billions—is an inhumane abomination that future generations will decry as an evil relic of a crueler past

Wow, NBC edited out the audience booing JD Vance at the Olympics. And this is one of the few remaining news outlets NOT owned by right-wing billionaire Trump sycophants www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

But if we prosecute everyone in the Epstein files, who will go on the Sunday shows?

But the ICE invasion isn’t political.

(Variety) - President Donald Trump posted a racist video to his Truth Social account late Thursday with an AI-generated video of the Obamas as apes. @variety.com variety.com/2026/digital...

FDA leaders have claimed multiple times the COVID vaccine killed kids for many months. They've refused to present any evidence. So, either Malone is right that right that Makary/Prasad/Hoeg are hiding the data, or they were lying about it. I will just sit back with popcorn and enjoy the fight.

This is a mask *very* specifically associated with Atomwaffen and Nazi Terrorgram (as OP notes downthread)

I’m not sure if the country will ever get smarter after what MAGA has done. Even if a smart, sane and efficient person is elected President. On the bright side, population density issues should improve.

They’re going to come after Pro Publica and its journalists now

The President shit himself on live TV. Melania bombed. The Epstein files are sending shockwaves through the Alt Right. Liam and his dad are back home. A Texas district that was DEEP red for 35 years flipped blue. Pretti's killers have been identified. Small wins, but you can feel the change coming.

But protesters are domestic terrorists? www.startribune.com/school-cance...

Soon they’ll try to legislate who women can date. Maybe men too.

I guess they are pretty upset. For some reason.

People are getting really fooled by things in the Epstein files. This is NOT a "Declassified FBI memo". It is a story told to the FBI by a CHS ("confidential human source"), who could be anyone from a petty criminal to a whistleblower to a propagandist trying to deceive (as here). Be smarter. 1/

Maybe he has pinworms. Has he been “hanging out” with children like so many others in the administration?

Whether it's a Hillary Clinton staffer asking John Podesta how to make risotto or Elon Musk asking Jeffrey Epstein where he could find a party featuring child sex slaves, there's plenty of embarrassing emails on both sides.

Regarding the newest 3.5 million pages of Epstein files.

This is transparency?

#Pinks #PtoudBlue I’m trying to find out why some of the victim’s names and personal identifying info was not redacted. The whole time they said they were protecting the women and now they release their names?!? Also they are withholding 50% of the files. www.bbc.com/news/live/cv...

I don’t know what I expected when I saw that Chris Rufo was taking on the “fascism canard” but lol

"I'm coming to Boston and I'm bringing hell with me." --Homan in February "Do I expect violence to escalate? Absolutely." -- Tom Homan in March "I actually thought about getting up and throwing that man a beating right there in the middle of the room" -- Homan in July, referring to a D congressman

Gotta use that budget for guns, APCs and CS gas.

Law enforcement officers have always been unmasked in this country until ICE started wearing them last year. *That* is the departure from norms. *That* is the step too far.

Reuters: by knocking out 1/3 of Russia's strategic bombers, irreplaceable planes that are no longer made, the 2025 Ukrainian attack "weakens a key component of Russia’s nuclear arsenal". Which is good! And yet the US president says, at Putin's direction, that this was bad. 2/

JD Vance Places Candle Outside Hooters Where ICE Agents Were Heckled

I am. But there are three things at play here regarding ICE collecting private data. Quick rundown on the issue, why you should be paying attention, and what I'm doing about it:

Bluesky idea: if people who didn't agree with you change their opinions so that they do agree with you, why not be happy that you are making progress - rather than complaining that they are "only just catching up"?

A lot of videos out there that Mike Johnson will not have seen tomorrow.

Hahaha. Canada, we love you. Honestly, not being invited is a badge of honor. Wear it proudly.

Every time a Trumpist or Right-wing shitbird yawps about free speech, remember they are lying trash who would use state force to suppress your speech in a heartbeat if it suited their ideology or mood. /1

The funny thing about this standard MAGA response to protest is that in this case not only is it once again a lie, but the people they’re protesting — immigration officers — are literally paid agitators and chaos agents from out of state.

Each of those things were *also* un-American. Not because they weren't done by Americans, and by America, but because they were always contradictory to what America creedally claimed to be: the land where all men were created equal and endowed with inalienable rights

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

Your regular reminder that Republicans in Congress approve of what the President is doing.

Wow who could have imagined this www.politico.com/news/2026/01...

The woman shouting "shame!" was the wife of Renee Nicole Good who had just watched her being murdered by an ICE agent. That reaction was remarkably mild.

Fortune 500 companies that have contracts with ICE: -Amazon -AT&T -Booz Allen Hamilton -Caci -Charter Communications -Comcast -Dell -Ecolab -FedEx -General Dynamics -L3Harris -Motorola -Thermo Fisher -UPS Know who profits from Trump's cruelty.
