Police do this all the time with training. Unfortunately Breonna Taylor isn't here to talk about that. Because they murdered her.

🚨This is some seriously unveiled Eastern European theatre messaging. Pay fucking attention.

Angie Craig is now arguing for the brilliant reform of ... making ICE wear body cameras. Angie, Jonathan Ross filmed himself killing a woman on his own phone and released it to the press.

someone who understands that the point of winning power is to use it

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

They nearly killed this woman. Then they went on national TV and tried to smear her.

The government is now targeting small businesses for their first amendment protected speech

A fucking toy store because they are outspoken in their defense of their neighbors.

As the Republican party shrinks the polling on what its members want will become increasingly insane.

Jesus Christ @ 74% of Rs wanting to invade Mexico

Right now, Congress is working on an appropriations bill to fund these guys

The fact that people in DC circles both seem to think calling for the abolition of ICE is "mostly symbolic" and also refuse to do it because of an entirely fictional wonky complexity they have invented in their head is part of the fucking problem.

The Courage Candidates movement is growing. Across the country, more leaders are stepping up with a clear commitment: democracy first. 👉 @sal4congress.bsky.social (NY-05) 👉 @frankiefonseca.bsky.social (NJ-01)

A lot of the elected officials are actively annoyed seeing people are rising up. They've all been bowing down to Trump and serving the regime while telling themselves the lie that everyone would do that if given the chance.

"No you don't understand, this particular funding tranche doesn't cover the additional appropriations from the reconciliation bill legislation. We can't just talk about Abolishing ICE when..." These people live on another planet.

America has had centuries of chattel slavery, ‘slave’ patrols,Black Codes, Jim Crow, and mass incarceration. Americans witnessing ICE: “This isn’t who we are! They’re Nazis!” No. 1/3

But Trump’s approval rating among independents now stands at just 29% and he holds virtually no support among Democrats. Only 30% of Latinos and adults younger than 35 now approve, down from 41% among both typically more Democratic groups near the start of his term. www.cnn.com/2026/01/16/p...

“It’s similar to historical figures like Nero or Caligula. Their madness took over and they started doing wildly destructive things. Trump is in that place.” - Simon Rosenburg

The Courage Candidates keep stepping forward. When democracy is under threat, neutrality isn’t an option. Meet Courage Candidates committed to accountability and democracy: 👉 @compton4ky2024.bsky.social (KY-02) 👉 Mike Heidenreich (WI-06) 👉 Chris Giracello (U.S. Senate, SC)

The entire modern conservative project exists to undo the Warren Court and bring back Jim Crow. Everything else is a means to that end. And in their spaces they've never been particularly subtle or quiet about it.

Stephen Miller complaining about Star Trek being too woke and demanding William Shatner be given creative control is actually hilarious because they were talking about implicit bias IN THE FUCKING 1960s youtu.be/lbsXklGF_WM...

Proud to be endorsed by @trackaipac.com ! In a political landscape dominated by AIPAC’s unchecked spending and anti-democratic influence, I refuse to bow to their agenda.

Increasingly I'm convinced that Newsom just has the opinions of whomever he last spoke with and honestly that's worse than having sucky opinions because he has no consistent beliefs or convictions whatsoever

In this week’s newsletter, I discuss my own despair at the political fecklessness of the opposition party, but take solace in the fact that the people are leading. In @thenation.com

Spotted: Our latest ad in the wild!! This time in Weekly News Pakistan, in both Urdu and English.

Democrat leaders looking for "creative ideas" to fight ICE, I've got a crazy one called "go outside to where the shit is actually happening."

👋🏼

What we are seeing in Minnesota is what authoritarianism looks like in real time. Racism, dehumanization, and state-sanctioned violence are tearing at the foundation of this country.

The fire at the Beth Israel Congregation, the same synagogue bombed by the KKK in 1967, is not an isolated incident. It’s the result of a deliberate increase in rhetoric that treats Jews as threats to be eliminated. White nationalism is a cancer — it must be ended. shorturl.at/JW93l

Hard truth: if social media existed in 1860, President Lincoln would be posting to whip up support for sending Black Americans to Africa.

Rep. Robin Kelly & cosponsors have sent impeachment articles against Kristi Noem to the Judiciary committee, which is majority GOP. This choice makes it unlikely that the articles will be taken up by the house. @robinlynnekelly.bsky.social, please force a house vote directly under Rule IX.

TONIGHT: I'll have a special guest set at the LAUGH UPSTAIRS COMEDY SHOWCASE in Arlington Heights at 8:30 PM!

All 6 Branches Of Armed Forces Present At Arrest Of Undocumented Nanny https://theonion.com/all-6-branches-of-armed-forces-present-at-arrest-of-undocumented-nanny/

Sorry , but most white voters can't acknowledge trans rights, or the rights of people of color, or out of control policing. And please list the "radical solutions" that were even *proposed*—let alone enacted—by effing JOE BIDEN, NANCY PELOSI & CHUCK SCHUMER I'M NOT MAD. I THINK IT'S FUNNY, REALLY

what the hell is this revisionist nonsense? This *did not happen*—except in the minds of the far-right. You're buying their bad faith bullshit. MAGA called for and now is building a white ethnostate b/c *they are white nationalists*. That's what they do. FFS

It is truly bizarre that this keeps cropping up as an actual argument. You see it everywhere, especially in places like NYT and legacy media. It is just plain disinformation.

The Virginia legislature today passed four constitutional amendments, all by day 3 of 2026 session: —protect abortion rights —repeal the same-sex marriage ban —allow mid-decade redistricting —greatly expand voting rights restoration. These will all go to 2026 referendums.

Good news!

‘Washington Post’ Publishes Editorial Defending FBI Raid On Its Reporter

Sheryl, in all her legal judgement, says "fascinating." I, in my lack of legal judgement but ability to shitpost on the internet, say "Keep reading bc this is wild and the tea is PIPING"

Block em

Democratic Governors need to mobilize their National Guard to protect their communities. ICE will continue terrorizing us. They are going after Walz and Frey to make an example out of them. He won't stop and he'll unleash the Insurrection Act. Go on offense, please.

Criminal investigations for nothing but speech; the administration’s contempt for the First Amendment could not be more clear.

DOJ is out of control. The crime of impeding federal agents requires physical force. Speaking out against the way ICE is being deployed is not a crime. www.cbsnews.com/news/justice...

courage candidates … all for it. If our represrntatives don’t have courage they are worse than useless. They are obstacles to our success & saboteurs of democracy.

Good to know Chuck Schumer's meeting with Trump yesterday really worked in curbing the Republicans and their brutal crackdown on Democrats and innocent Americans in Minnesota. Must have been a helluva convincing meeting. Well done, Chuck! Oh, look, the DOJ is now investigating Walz and Frey.

I see their swashbuckling “don’t let him hit you” strategy didn’t work.

This is the person who will lead the resistance and save us?

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic. The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.

No one here wants to go to the US I asked
