Folks have been noting the creepiness of this NRA statement on the Minneapolis murder that DOESN'T affirm Alex Pretti's right to have a gun at a protest, instead blaming "radical progressive politicians lie Tim Walz" who have "incited violence against law enforcement officers" for his death....

Secretary Noem has forfeited her right to lead. I’m calling on her to resign. Gregory Bovino must also be fired. No one, not an ICE agent, not a federal officer, not a president, is above the law.

CBP chief Bovino has confirmed that the officers who executed Alex Pretti in the street yesterday are not only *not on administrative leave,* they have all been reassigned to other jurisdictions and are all on the street today. This is totally unheard of for any officer-involved shooting

If we could just use Peter’s equal area Projection Map, we might watch our size obsessed president stop paying attention to Greenland because it is not actually as big as he thought.

over the course of 1871, congress held seven months of hearings on ku klux klan and other white vigilante violence in the south, they took detailed testimony from hundreds of black men and women attesting to klan terror. (1/?)

"The veteran said he saw volunteering as an ICE observer as another way of serving his country. 'It’s the most American thing to do: not to be scared of people trying to scare you... This is a pivotal moment we’ll be asked about by our kids, "Where were you?" www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

The DOJ is more than three weeks late in delivering the Epstein Files. In those three weeks: - Trump declared himself acting President of Venezuela - ICE murdered a woman in Minnesota - Trump is preparing an invasion of a NATO ally - Trump initiated a criminal investigation of Fed Chair Powell

I think I know where Trump is getting his foreign policy. It’s 2 extra armies for South America and 5 for North America with only 3 places where you need to defend.

“We live in a world, in the real world, Jake, that is governed by strength, that is governed by force, that is governed by power,” he said. “These are the iron laws of the world since the beginning of time.” - Stephen Miller Asserts U.S. Has Right to Take Greenland www.nytimes.com/2026/01/05/u...

As an alternative to Wall’s pretzel bending self contradictory argument about adding sociology programs because we need sociology may I elevate the case made by my colleague and friend Ashley Rondini on why we need sociology to meet the current moment: www.asanet.org/footnotes-ar...

When the government controls businesses isn’t that socialism? What happens to a free market when governments owns some companies? Trump Says Intel Has Agreed to Give U.S. a 10% Stake in Its Business www.nytimes.com/2025/08/22/t...

Please add ICE to this list of agencies to dismantle.

Just a reminder that the DREAM Act in 2010 had more votes to advance than the Senate had for this monster today. We shouldn’t radically changes laws by a 51 to 49 vote. Senate Takes Up Trump’s Policy Bill, as G.O.P. Scrounges for Votes to Pass It www.nytimes.com/2025/06/28/u...

Trump's DHS is out of control! The violent treatment of Senator Alex Padilla is a stark reminder of the administration's authoritarian agenda. Trump's America is a dystopian nightmare.

Noem said the federal gov was in California to LIBERATE the city from its own elected representatives?! WTAF. No wonder Padilla had a fucking question to ask.

Strike one? Is Chuck the blind umpire or is he watching a different game? They arrested children, citizens, mayors, and now a senator!

Kristi Noem: “Nobody knew who he was” Literally, the first second of the video 👇

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

"Please continue peacefully protesting": Sen. Padilla after forced removal from DHS presser

In a statement, Frost notes an important detail to Alex Padilla, a sitting U.S. senator, being assaulted by federal agents today: “They did it in broad daylight. Imagine what they're doing behind closed doors to migrant men, women, and children. “This isn’t America. This is fascism.”

What happened to Senator Padilla is horrifying. When will this administration stop with its authoritarian overreach?

Senator Padilla was driven violently to his knees–as if made to kneel before the authority of the executive–because the administration called his questions “disrespectful”. This should offend not just the other 99 Senators. It should offend the conscience of this country.

First a Mayor. Then a Congresswoman. Now a US Senator. Trump’s administration is trying to silence their opposition. Through threats & physical intimidation . It’s not American. We stand with Sen Padilla slate.com/news-and-pol...

Today they have crossed a deep red line. We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

Don’t let them call alternative facts on this reality 👇

A spot on piece by @michellegoldberg.bsky.social for NYTs about where we are, how we got here, and what is likely to come next. The question is how the public will respond and the degree to which the Right-Wing echo chamber can manipulate perspectives on reality. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/09/o...

Who is responsible for this country when the president is taking personal time?

So therefore the court finds that she does not pose danger to community or present risk of flight. THE COURT ORDERS THE GOVERNMENT TO RELEASE OZTURK FROM CUSTODY IMMEDIATELY. "Ms. Ozturk is free to return to her home in Massachusetts."

The new US policy’s racism towards refugees could not be more clear. Trump supports white supremacy. Full stop. We welcome white Afrikaners, but repeal safe haven status to people from Haiti, Venezuela, Cuban and Nicaragua who are already in US LEGALLY adapting to new lives. Shame on Trump & on us.

As the Musk/Trump abomination seeks to revoke SSNs from legal migrants to force self deportation, the US will lose up to $5b that undocumented pay into the system. This will have the side effect of bankrupting Social Security sooner (already expected to run out of money in 2032).
