This is what people on Fox are like. People watch Fox because they like this.

AOC: This has now become what we feared most about ICE for a long time—that it would be used as an anti-civilian force with no accountability. At the end of the day, what we saw today was a murder, and murders in cold blood need to be prosecuted.

Who wants to help me make this asshole famous?

Has there ever been a country that prospered when its leaders encouraged people to rat each other out?

They shot a white woman in the middle of the day in plain view of the public. Now try to imagine what they're doing to people of color when no one is around to see.

Everyone should read this at least twice. In the last few days, it's become obvious even to a meathead like me that this is where we're headed. The possibility of widespread violence is damn near 100% now.

A friend in Minneapolis just sent me this video. Looks like thousands have come together for a vigil after an ICE agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good. This was my neighborhood for several years before coming to Portland.

This. 👇 ICE extra-judicial killings have been the norm, and now they'll become common in neighborhoods that have largely been unaffected. Soon, it'll start happening to people who say negative things about the Trump admin, and even his supporters won't be safe.

The way I see it, we have a few options: 1. General strike 2. Mass protests in DC for as long as it takes 3. Wait for Republicans to protect the country and therefore lose the country No one is coming to save us.

“But-but-but impeachment doesn’t poll well, according to my cherry-picked data!” Chuck Schumer, probably

This.

So, has ICE offered Kyle Rittenhouse a job yet?

I lived in Soviet Russia in 1981. Yes, this is waht state-regime media looks like.

Today in Minnesota a woman lost her life , she was shot in the face by an ice agent . Is this really the America you want?

COMMENTARY: It seems an increasing number of Americans, including elected leaders and journalists, are afraid to tell the truth about what happened on January 6. That's dangerous.

If Trump is really stealing spending power from Congress then it would be insanity for Democrats to vote to fund the government later this month. Shut it down until the president stops wiping his ass with the Constitution.

I believe the original sin Democrats, and especially the Biden administration, made after January 6th was viewing January 6th as the *end* of something, rather than the *beginning* of something.

As we, the good people of America, remember J6 with horror and sadness, spare a thought for the residents of the city it happened in. DC is often overlooked as a place where folks live, but this trauma happened to us, on our streets, in the place we call home.

Stephen Miller is Trump’s most important and influential aide because he channels and shares the president’s worldview. His cold-blooded assessment that might makes right is the one immutable law of history and is now the guiding concept behind US foreign policy…

Today's top headlines:

It’s probably NBD that Miller has the president’s ear, right?

In DC, only two people can deploy the NG. The president and sec of defense. The only reason they pulled off J6 was because they denied calls for the guard 14X. This is where I was waiting for him to authorize the deployment of the NG. He praises/pardoned criminals, and hired them into his admin.

I’m sure the Venezuelans will just sit back while US-sponsored companies build the machinery that will take the oil that’s rightfully theirs.

The US is making plans to try to intercept a fleeing oil tanker currrntly in the North Atlantic that Russia has claimed ownership of, per 4 sources, setting up a possible confrontation between Washington and the Kremlin… www.cnn.com/2026/01/05/p...

One of the most lopsided results you'll ever see in a poll, from our weekend Washington Post poll www.washingtonpost.com/politics/int...

The characterization of Trump and his entourage as a pack of high-school misfits would be howlingly funny if it weren't embarrassing, sickening, and horrifying all at once.

what a time to be alive www.ft.com/content/daae...

I used to think that the levels of evil that the Nazi High Command reached required them to take some kind of sadistic glee from the atrocities they committed. Now, from watching Rubio and others, I think it only takes an average amount of casual indifference.

It's interesting that Russia withdrew all of its personnel from Venezuela exactly 14 days before Trump's invasion. China didn't withdraw their personnel. Cuba didn't withdraw theirs. Just Russia. It is almost as if someone called Putin to warn him what's up as part of a quid pro quo. Not almost.

On the theme of international press coverage of US public health, here’s Canada’s take. They’re not wrong. If disinformation spreads like a virus, Canada may want to mask up. Or at least wash its hands frequently. Too bad there’s not a vaccine to protect against malicious policies…

"American dominance" is our new foreign policy. And it will create a counter-reaction, everywhere. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

When Congress continues to let Hegseth get away with violating the law without even attempting consequences, he responds by violating the law more. This isn't complicated. What Hegseth/DOD is doing here is awful, but at some point part of the problem is Dems' lack of tangible response.

I didn’t think anyone could top the Iraq War in terms of sheer incompetence until Trump came along.

Yes, this is exactly the time to demand Democrats "do something." They can denounce Trump's actions as unconstitutional. They can state that he must be impeached and removed. They can make clear that all involved will be held accountable. These are the core duties of a role they all signed up for.

Their messaging is so fucking incoherent. Maduro was an illegitimate leader who lost in 2024, which is why we're replacing him with his VP instead of the person who won in 2024. We did this to stop fentanyl, which is why he's indicted for cocaine. We're also occupying Venezuela via Zoom call.

If today is Saturday, then tomorrow is Sunday. . .and it's the last day of my long weekend. Dammit!

We truly live in the dumbest timeline with one of the dumbest Presidents. But this is America. So much pain could have been avoided. Racism and greed remain triumphant.

If I give the bully my lunch money every day eventually he will die of old age

Does Congress have any red line where they constrain Trump? He just unilaterally went to war against Venezuela. (Spare me any technicalities; we literally attacked them and kidnapped their president. That is effectively a declaration of war and he doesn’t have to put it on a scroll of parchment)

But on 12/1/25, Trump pardoned convicted drug trafficker/former president of Honduras, Juan Orlando Hernández, who went to trial in the US & was sentenced to 45 years in prison. And Vance saying the OIL part out loud as if we didn’t know that all along.

New piece in @goodauth.bsky.social on what Trump's actions in Venezuela might mean. goodauthority.org/news/what-ha...

I don’t know what moment Chuck Schumer is made for, but it sure as shit isn’t this one.

Tonight, the President of the United States has launched an unconstitutional war of aggression, dooming another generation to spill their blood for oil, and lay waste to a sovereign nation. I demand that Congress exercise its power, halt this conflict, and impeach this war criminal president.

We have to impeach him.

I think it’s important to frame what’s happening as fully outside the realm of normal governance because framing it as a policy or even legal dispute grants it undue legitimacy. These are crimes that merit - require, really - a stronger response than a transition of power

Kat is one of the few political figures I've seen who has advocated for actual action. Good for her - she's freaking awesome!
