TikTok's sale is official. Take a look at one of its new owners, MGX, a state-backed Abu Dhabi fund. me, for @forbes.com in Oct.

There is no level to which these heartless shit-for-brains won’t stoop to inflict cruelty and suffering.

AOC: An agency that is attacking U.S. citizens, kidnapping five-year-olds and using them as bait, and privately circulating the idea that they can violate the rights of Americans by busting down their doors—they deserve to be defunded, and I’ll take any step in that direction.

Funny how the right is outraged at Fanone flipping off a congressman just days after celebrating a president flipping off a working American .

Referring to his keynote address at the World Economic Forum, Trump told the audience that sometimes “you need a dictator.” To be clear, this is the President of the United Staes telling the world (including us) that we need a dictator, and HE is that dictator.

Well, this is really something. A majority of *working class whites* disapprove of ICE, per new NYT poll. Dovetails with the unpublished data that I got from Quinnipiac finding similar on working class more broadly (see below). (cc @gelliottmorris.com )

ICE is underwater with noncollege whites, god damn

Ex-car thief Darrell Issa, in questioning Jack Smith, alluded to Trump actually thinking he won the '20 election as justification. The problem is, insurrection, ignorance aren't legally valid, and the courts threw out every case. Weak defense, Darrell, and your other brother Darrell...

I have never ever seen anything like this. I have seen communities organize around natural disasters in a somewhat similar way but obv that wasn’t 80% SECRET.

if you don’t think you can campaign on abolishing this agency and prosecuting the people involved - if you don’t think you’re able to make that case using this video and other like it - get the fuck out of politics

Special Counsel Jack Smith in his Opening Remarks:

if you cant instruct your local police to surround schools to protect them from ice because youre scared the cops will turn around and instead help kidnap children then you should state that plainly and clearly

Deporting children with cancer. Using a 5-year-old as bait. Shooting moms. ICE is beyond reform. And today the House is voting to bankroll more terror. Hell no.

Nekima Levy Armstrong is a hero—not a goddamn criminal.

Jack Smith: "Trump was charged bc the evidence established he willfully broke the law -- the very laws he took an oath to uphold... After leaving office, Trump illegally kept classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago social club... highly sensitive natl security info was held in a ballroom & bathroom."

he’s literally rotting

Trump's pardons wiped out financial crimes that came with hundreds of millions of dollars in punishments: Over half of Trump's 88 individual pardons are for white-collar offenses, with money laundering, bank fraud and wire fraud among the most frequent crimes the president has wiped clean.

if they dont start doing stuff to prevent this bubble they all know and admit is coming then they should be fired at best and probably arrested

From my hometown of Forest Lake: "Ice is working with Forest Lake police. Police are asking apartment complexes for access to buildings for 'possible medical emergencies' shortly after they requested that ice was in my building knocking on doors."

Jack Smith: "My fear is that we have seen the rule of law function in our country for so long that many of us have come to take it for granted. The rule of law is not self-executing. It depends on our collective commitment to apply it."

Repeat after me - the institutions of this economy depend on the institutions of this democracy, among which is the rule of law

Checking in with the hellsite. Everything is fine.

I know people keep saying this but it’s hard to communicate the depth of active resistance here. Like, I’m on random cafes and people are checking in for observation shifts. Signs everywhere. Folks in visibility vests on the corners. It’s wild. Absolutely wild.

Discovering that Twin Cities parent patrols have better opsec than the Defense Department. (Not a high bar but still.)

Smol bean masked, armed, agents of the state bsky.app/profile/pale...

of all the things that need to be done by dem politicians, voting against funding ice is going to be among the easiest and if you dont even have the stomach for that, man i dont know

Trump's "Board of Peace" is just a list of countries where you can't safely drink tap water.

Donald Trump’s Board of Peace is a farce. The League of Abominations would be a better description.

Every poll these days is like: - Mad Nazi Pedophile King: 39% - The Democrats: 42%

I guess I do think if you participated in the arrest of a five-year-old you are probably just fundamentally incompatible with society. That you are not a safe person for humanity to be around, generally

state-sponsored child trafficking

Today is the most humiliating day in the history of the United States of America. At least until tomorrow.

Hey, as we all watch the dementia-addled psychotic president of the United States ramble incoherently on a global stage, I'd just like to say on behalf of all Americans: Our bad.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional! ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

“Children’s food contaminated with worms and mold, limited clean drinking water, inadequate medical care among allegations raised by migrant families in court filings about conditions their CHILDREN faced in federal custody.” The “pro life” party popular.info/p/ice-has-st...

The President Isn’t Even Trying to Sound Coherent Anymore - Esquire

Scenes from occupied Minneapolis: "3 SUVs ICE officers driving down 21st to 42nd street. The ice officer rolled down his window and took a photo of me and said 'I got you motherfucker'. I am just a home owner going outside to see what was going on."

The world learned today that you absolutely have to bully this dumb old asshole as a collective. Better late than never for them, but we better get used to being aggressively humiliated for the next few years.

I’ve seen bits and pieces of his Davos tragedy. It’s like someone took their demented grandfather to open mic night at the comedy club and just let him riff. How damn embarrassing.

McGovern: Well, he said a lot of crazy shit today. I think it’s time to take the keys away from grandpa. He doesn’t seem like he’s all there.

Another proud day for America.

So SCOTUS is really going to do the "unitary executive theory* thing (*except for the Fed) LOL

so glad you cracked the fucking case, professor

Mafia goon: Nice house you got here...it'd be a shame if something happened to it Media outlets: Mafia goon rules out use of force. Expresses regret at the mere thought of it

And tonight all the main news broadcasts in america will not even mention that their president is unhinged, demented and clearly unfit to lead anything at all. They are so afraid of the truth.

No one can be watching this Davos speech and reach any conclusion but that the President of the United States is mentally disturbed and that something is deeply wrong with him. This is both embarrassing and extremely dangerous.
