A budget is a moral document.

C’mon, people. Look at your Kremlin style guide. The phrase is “special military operation.” Not all of you are getting this right.

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone. But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.

Turns out lawlessness is not a winning strategy. See you at Nuremberg 2.0

AOC: He impulsively went in on Venezuela. He impulsively went in on Iran. It led to increased global instability and every time he’s done that, it has been consistent with a spike in what is happening with the Epstein files. I think that he feels existentially tied to it.

The president didn't bother to make the case for war in a marathon State of the Union address and then he fucked off to his sweaty gilded country club so he could literally phone in an unconstitutional war. Every single Democrat needs to be screaming about this at full volume.

Actually, it’s hurting children.

Donald Trump killed two of my constituents. He is a liar and should be ashamed of himself.

Authoritarianism is rising because our democracy was failing before Trump. When pro-democracy forces take back power, we can’t just restore the status quo. We need to change a political system that gives oligarchs a veto over working people. We need a new democracy.

Aliya Rahman, woman who was dragged out of car by ICE in Minneapolis: "I've spent the last month learning the names of the tendons in my shoulder, because both of my shoulders are torn -- cartilage and tendons. But what I haven't learned is the names of the people who did this to me."

In competitive authoritarianism (US right now) there's often a "loyal opposition" that's essential to the regime. They are so wedded to "decorum," they go along with rites & rituals that help regime prop up veneer of normalcy, undermining clear view of regimes actions & aims.

To the highest bidder

Incredible opinion. It holds that the common ICE tactic of jumping out of an unidentified rental vehicle and seizing suspected noncitizens while masked violates the Fourth Amendment because the *manner* of the seizure is incompatible with a free society governed by the rule of law.

Last night, I was notified that another person has died in ICE custody. That’s 39 people who have died on ICE’s watch during Trump’s second term. We cannot grow numb to this. There must be immediate oversight and accountability.

Biden would’ve been instantly impeached in a bipartisan vote if he put his face on the freakin’ Department of Justice building

Shameful—but in a way useful. No one should any longer pretend we have a “Department of Justice.” We have a Department of Trump.

The concentration camps will not only be for immigrants, documented or otherwise. They already aren't. They won't only be for brown and Black people. The targets will keep expanding. It will not end. The only way it will is if we stop it. Both in and out of the system. There is no other way.

Papers don’t quote ANYONE like this. Normal human speech is LOUSY with ums, uhs, and doubling short words (a, I, the). You clean that up as a matter of course.

Ossoff: "Among today's false prophets are the election deniers who indulge this president's obsession with overturning the 2020 election. Hear me when I say this -- they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing, that the act of telling it proves the teller's total and humiliating submission."

Part of my theory of change is to share the words white men need to hear, spoken by white men. This is because creating defections is crucial to stopping authoritarianism and democratic backsliding. This is because almost everyone else is already off the Trump train.

When this all ends, the enablers like Makouri, Prasad, and Batacharya need to be shunned from the medical community. Grifters and quacks who will do anything to be close to power.

Yeah I'm done softening my words to keep people from pearl-clutching. What I wrote above is true, and people need to hear it. RFK Jr., everyone in his circle, and many more are behind this. Vaccine hesitancy is due to the loud voices of anti-vaxxers, and now children, babies, are dying.

Trump's second term has been a disgusting cesspool of non-stop grift and corruption 👇 "In August 2025, I reported that the President and his family had made $3.4 billion by leveraging his position. After his first year back in office, the number has ballooned." Read more: https://bit.ly/4tmtni0

RFK Jr/MAHA world say they're not reducing access to vaccines for anyone who wants them, only giving people "choice" to opt out. But by refusing to even review new vaccines, yes, they are absolutely blocking those who want a new immunization from ever having access to it.

Doctors say that vaccines protect children from dangerous diseases. A nepo baby who barbecues dogs and snorts cocaine off toilet seats says that vaccines make children vulnerable to 5G radiation. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

no foreign foe has ever dreamed of being able to sack and pillaging this country the way Trump admin and its congressional and scotus enablers do every day.

Trump posted a video depicting the first Black president and his wife as apes and his excuse for this is that it's a riff on The Lion King, a movie that does not feature any apes. Somehow this was a one-day story and we've already moved on.

Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones. Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.

RFK Jr. is now blocking an updated flu vaccine for NO reason grounded in science. American vaccine policy has been hijacked by a conspiracy theorist—yet most Republicans are happy to just sit on their hands. They are allowing FDA policy to be dictated by DELUSION.

AOC on DHS Warehouses: I think every American should be alarmed. They are building—and have built—a black box system that disappears people, both immigrants and U.S. citizens alike.

Ossoff: "You're seeing what I'm seeing, right? The president posting about the Obamas like a Klansman."

i think people should consider the extent to which bannon, a known bullshit artist, knows that you will see this and panic. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Really nuts how many men were like "Me Too went too far, and I need to email Jeffrey Epstein about it."

Masked thugs on the streets. Measles outbreaks across the nation. Blatant government corruption. Coverup of group of elite sex offenders. Ruling party trying to rig elections. Leader building grandiose monuments to himself. Collapse of remnants of nonpartisan civil service. Third world America.

I’m actually quite moved by how swiftly she pivots away from her own grief and trauma - real and justified though it is - to remind us not to take our eyes off the women who were assaulted

These people are terrorists. Full stop.

We must investigate whether Italian satellites and Hugo Chávez's corpse stole Georgia—to restore trust in our elections. We must disparage all non-straight-white-men in the military—to restore deterrence. We must kill citizens on the streets of Minneapolis—to stop criminals coming over the border.

AOC on ICE: It’s our task to figure out how to claw back what has essentially supercharged this agency into becoming a relentless domestic paramilitary that is also a blank check to Palantir to create facial-recognition scans on U.S. citizens.

It's near-white out conditions in Chicago as the snow comes down, and tonight's anti-ICE/CBP rally is wrapping up in front of city hall. But not before the crowd bounces and chants, "I believe that we will win!"

For the most part, wearing masks to shield your identity to protect yourself from retribution is ceding the whole playing field to the fascists. Not indulging in the weird black ops security theater is itself a statement: this is our world and you don’t dictate how we live in it.

the arrest of journalists in minneapolis, including don lemon, is more evidence that the only move the administration knows how to make is to use force, and does not know how to respond when that force is met with defiance and indifference.

Another witness to Anderson Cooper: “Now is not the time to stay silent. We all need to be a little bit brave, and do what we can to stand up for our rights.”

"If we have to hunt you down, the way they hunted down Nazis for decades, we will find your identities. We will find you. We will achieve justice. And we will do so under the Constitution and laws of the United States." www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ft1...

🔥 “As a Jewish man I’ve never felt safer than when there’s a masked Gestapo in the street… Tell Alex Pretti you made a ‘MISTAKE’! @climatedefiance.bsky.social @waltermasterson.bsky.social @davidsonboswell.bsky.social disrupt @tomsuozzi.bsky.social who joined Republicans to vote for ICE funding

We need to talk about the rise of "smol bean fascism" where you have all the guns and the immunity but the really scary people are the ones with whistles and phone cameras and they're giving you generational trauma and ptsd by filming you killing people for no reason

If they get one like this of me, run it over my obituary. American heroes all of them
