those uncommitted people sure did a great job freeing palestine. oh wait, all they did was help bibi netanyahu do whatever the fuck he wants to because we don't have the bandwidth to pay attention to chaos abroad when there's chaos at home. excellent work all around, y'all.

I feel very strongly that we must use the next three years to build a new opposition movement. I tried to lay out my reasons and what I think we need to do to make it happen. Please watch, comment, and share. youtu.be/_GUgnpAYMCc

Well this is deeply creepy.

Donald Trump is using federal agents to stoke fear and violate constitutional rights — all with the aims of expanding his control and sending military troops to our cities. It’s unlawful and un-American. We must all stand up and speak out against fanning the flames of violence.

China is buying Soy from Brazil and Argentina. You know who they aren't buying from? American farmers. They voted for Trump and now they're getting annihilated. Thanks to Trump's AMAZING economy, tariffs, and trade deals. www.reuters.com/world/china/...

Wine Moms and Soccer Dads, this is our time

I'm glad to see House Democrats are pressing to get Rep-Elect Grijalva seated, because the fight over this is just a prelude to what the House Republicans will try in January 2027, when charges of "voter fraud" will lead to "serious questions" that will delay the seating of several new Democrats.

He lied. Gotta use the word

Reminder that Trump's initial rationale for sending the troops in Portland was something he saw on TV

Former military personnel were seen trading in automatic weapons for mandolins and zithers.

This is going to end up being the most pointless and expensive "this meeting could have been an email" in history.

Taken just a few minutes ago outside the ICE facility in Portland that Trump claims is under siege. My message to Donald Trump is this: we don’t need you here. Stay the hell out of our city.

Challenging Trump...to go further?

Just FYI: Portland as a war zone is horseshit, and deploying federal troops is horseshit.

He’s going to blow up the entire country to prevent the release of the Epstein files, isn’t he

Democrats should never vote to fund a government that's waging war on its own citizens and firing officials *because* they insist on following court orders instead of breaking the law. Let Senate Republicans nuke the filibuster. None of this is normal and it shouldn't be treated as such.

3/ majority votes. There remains a lot of resistance to these necessary reforms. But the last eight months have helpfully clarified the extreme corruption of the current court. No new legislation can have real impact as long as the Court willfully misinterprets the plain meaning of statutes or ...

For 26 but especially 2028 it's time for Democrats to make clear that the current Supreme Court will have to be reformed (expanded in number, reformed in structure) to allow popular govt to continue in the United States. Not so much a litmus test as precondition for any other promise to be credible.

to be honest a bunch of the founders would have probably been less concerned by "mohammadans" than irish catholics like walsh

where in the fever swamp did this bubble up from? it feels like it came out of nowhere

The feds have been trying to incite and provoke violence for WEEKS in Portland. Without success. But it seems that DEAR LEADER didn't get the memo. Just think about that. Their plan for violence failed but yet Trump stick to it. It's insanity over insanity.

As a resident of #Portland it is impossible to capture how unhinged this is. We are a low crime city and the ICE protest "siege" consists of one auxiliary ICE office that normally has at most a dozen weirdos debating what performance art they should use to block a single driveway

Has Kristi Noem turned over power over DHS to her side piece? nymag.com/intelligence...

It’s hard to convey the insanity of a thirty-something White House staffer getting an interim US Attorney appointment and marching into the grand jury room alone four days later to indict the former Deputy Attorney General and Director of the FBI

🚨BREAKING: President Donald Trump announced the deployment of U.S. troops to Portland, Oregon, and federal immigration facilities nationwide Saturday, claiming he is defending the country against “domestic terrorists.” www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Instead of negotiating to avoid a government shutdown, he's at a golf event.

This makes me so angry!

@radleybalko.bsky.social most American police departments need better training for crowd management, use of force, etc., but how much worse is the median ICE arrest? A stumbling mass tackle-scrum, giving themselves concussions, fists flying, guys dropping pistols, and/or aiming at random people?

Personally, I don't want farmers to get a single penny of my taxes for a bailout. I voted to protect your farm and you voted to destroy it. It is not my job to save you from your own stupidity. Pull yourself up by your bootstraps.

Putin got everything he wanted and more. Trump just got humiliated. Listen to Rick break down the breakup heard 'round the world this week: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ILAMub1-y8

“.. Grijalva has promised to be the pivotal 218th supporter needed” for an Epstein-files release. “So, it is telling, if not entirely surprising, that Johnson is now being coy about when exactly he plans to swear [her] in.” @opinion.bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

Yesterday The Intercept posted the piece I wrote for them to X. That account has 800K followers. As of now, the post has 5,500 impressions, 8 likes, and the only reply includes a Pepe the Frog image and the n-word. So yes, seems like the algorithm is working as intended!

"They are not doing much to hide this, but it appears that many people do not realize the nature of what is at stake in the war on science — starting with the failure to recognize that it is a war on science."

The way this lady flips her hair aside as she blithely insists there was an "overemphasis on slavery" at the Smithsonian is a perfect little touch. But more important -- museums aren't there to make you feel good. You're thinking of an "amusement park." The words look a little alike, I guess.

GOP controls the House. GOP controls the Senate. GOP controls the White House. If the gov't shuts down, every missed paycheck, every closed office, every crisis? That's their fault. Every bit of it.

I don't love using "blood libel" to describe anything other than the actual historical phenomenon of accusations against Jews of ritually killing Christian children. But if anything in modern political discourse structurally resembles a blood libel, it's Vance accusing Haitians of eating cats.

The only people we'll admire from this time are the ones who said "Hell, no."

the evidence in favor of the traditional understand of the birthright citizenship clause is so overwhelming that a bunch of conservative legal hacks had to conjure a fake literature int existence to create the appearance of dispute. i expect the court to side with trump, of course.
