Democrats should promise that every refugee, asylum seeker, and green card holder illegally deported, arrested, sent to CECOT, or sent to a third country can come back to the U.S. with a fast track to citizenship.

If you’re a 21st-century GOP voter and are not like: “Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me"…

The constitutional remedy for a president who attempts to commit the United States to war without authorization from Congress is impeachment, removal, disqualification, and a criminal trial.

A functioning opposition party would respond to this moment by committing to join the ICC when they return to power. Democrats won’t. And it’s for the same reason they failed to hold Trump accountable after Jan 6. Shielding elites from accountability is a depressingly bipartisan project in DC.

This was a premeditated attack with no conceivable emergency: the choice to do this is Congress not President. Waging war on Iran is an obvious violation of the Constitution, no different than enacting tariffs (raising taxes) or defunding USAID (spending programs).

And remove the official who acted without their authorization.

right wing pastors are screaming, crying, throwing up because John Piper posted a Bible verse on the everything app.

CNN and MS NOW *combined* get 150k daily viewers among ages 25-50. By comparison BlueSky gets 1,500k daily active users.

Every stage of this process - his arrest, spending a year in jail, being dumped on the streets to die - would be deeply shameful in a society that actually valued human life.

"Friends" is a beloved American sitcom that aired from 1994 to 2004, following six young adults—Rachel, Ross, Monica, Chandler, Joey, and Phoebe—living in New York City. The show explores their friendships, romances, careers, and personal growth over ten seasons.

Today it is cheeseburgers. Tomorrow it could be hemlock, or cyanide, or plutonium tea.

Reminder: For 313 days, three Trump-appointed judges have stopped Judge Boasberg from probing possible criminal contempt of his turn-the-planes-around order of last March—conduct implicating, among others, Secy Noem, Judge Bove, DAG Blanche, and, maybe, higher officials.

The Ford Pinto wasn't just infamous for catching fire and killing people during a crash; it was infamous for the leaked memo where Ford said the $50million to pay off survivors was less than the $121million to recall and retool, so the deaths were an acceptable business issue. The Cybertruck is...

Strong democracies tend to be the safest places to live. They have low interpersonal violent crime. And you're much safer from state-imposed violence. Never concede the lie that we must exchange freedom for security. www.brookings.edu/articles/dem...

"While authoritarians promise that strict hierarchies giving those at the top total control are necessary to keep people safe, the opposite is true. "Male dominance leads to women being raped and beaten. "White supremacy leads to racial violence." www.salon.com/2026/02/18/k...

and all these babies and small children have been so sick and hospitalized with measles FOR NO REASON. and the parents don't even regret it. because they believe it. because they've been conned. its hard not to keep my fists clenched so tight.

once again pointing out that Trump vs. US is a treasonous decision--the Supreme Court equivalent of January 6--and the justices who voted for it have forfeited any claim to legitimacy (or indeed due process) whatsoever

ICE killed a teacher in Georgia today when they chose to chase a man who posed no danger and had no criminal history.

Enough already. Take an actual moral position or do the hard work to come up with making good policy. Stop making this all about political positioning and messaging and saying what you think people want to hear.

Going back to 1995, the US has never performed worse compared to international stocks YTD Augur Infinity

He can say whatever he wants and issue whatever executive order he wants, but he has no legitimate power to actually do anything like this. Panicked posts like this one give the impression that he can make good on his threats. He can't.

If Moderna is no longer bringing vaccine trials for Epstein-Barr virus (good evidence that EB causes Multiple Sclerosis), herpes, and shingles because of Trump appointees, I want prison time for those appointees. This might be dooming millions to disease they don’t have to experience.

This is something congress can fix and must fix. It's real simple. Pass a law that says "in immigration cases, a habeas petition may be brought in the district of arrest of brought within 3 months of the initial arrest"

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.

A government by and for rapists and family annihilators.

These guys couldn’t even accept having to prove they’d been vaccinated

Really bad - not just b/c the FDA refused even to review the application after previously indicating they would, but b/c this biotech is very important: the article doesn't mention it, but an mRNA vax could be produced much faster than a std. flu vax, & so, offer a superior fit w/ circulating virus.

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

DHS said that the woman CBP shot in the chest in Portland was “involved” in a gang shooting. Her ~involvement~ was that suspected gang members sexually assaulted and robbed her.

"A 2-year-old boy was breastfeeding in detention. One 6-year-old boy had leukemia. An 8-year-old girl began wetting the bed. A 14-year-old girl engaged in self-harm...None of these children or their parents had a criminal history anywhere in the world." www.nytimes.com/2026/02/01/o...

This is the U Penn donor who helped push the President out, pushed to eliminate arts & science offerings, and drafted Trumps "compact" with universities. People like Rowan repeatedly claimed the moral high ground to impose their agenda on students and faculty.

To be precise, 3 in House + 20 Sen. Less than two dozen people. I don't want to hear "but they won't." That is surrendering in advance loser talk and lets them off the hook. They have agency. Refusing makes them cowards and traitors and they should feel every last bit of all the pressure that means.

the practical effect of arresting lemon et al is to spark widespread condemnation, especially since these arrests will certainly be thrown out. this doesn't mean the action isn't a dangerous escalation, it does mean the white house doesn't know what to do but spam its only attack

Let me reiterate: THEY DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH GUYS TO PERSECUTE LARGE NUMBERS OF DISSENTERS. What they are doing, instead, is using fear and paranoia as a force multiplier: they don’t have to persecute us if we keep ourselves home because someone told us we can’t walk in public without being terrified.

I cannot tell you how much doubt was consistently directed at the Gaza Health Ministry’s casualty numbers and how much pressure was put on news organizations to couch those numbers as unreliable. Biden himself said they were fabricated! www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

This is sort of a throughline in cases of excessive force used by law enforcement. The civilian is supposed to perfectly adhere to some unwritten code of conduct; the armed professional supposedly trained for such situations is only human & must be given lattitude if they succumb to fear and rage.

6. It's true we in the opposition have limited power or leverage. Perhaps making this a real inflection point was beyond our ability. Or maybe it will still become one. But for now the administration is on course to brush aside this limited setback and forge ahead with its authoritarian agenda. END

I understand that all of us have to live our lives and therefore simply cannot think deeply about the fact that the current fascist President of the United States is deeply unwell. I do think, however, that it is the JOB of CONGRESS and the CABINET to protect the country FROM HIM. NOW.

I think a good analogue here is how Republicans handled IRS surge funding when they had the chance to affect it. prospect.org/2026/01/29/c...

An extraordinary document. Read it. “Attached to this order is an appendix that identifies 96 court orders that ICE has violated in 74 cases. … ICE has likely violated more court orders in January 2026 than some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence.”

Free Liam.

Dems should introduce legislation now defunding ICE and CBP operations in Minnesota, so they have to leave the state. One sentence bill. Demand an immediate vote. Maybe refuse to vote for cloture on any funding bills (or other bills) until a vote. Make the GOP Congress break w/ Trump or own it all.

Dems should introduce lots of such legislation, demand hearings and debate, make a huge fuss, use paid media to call out GOP members who are blocking their consideration--and make clear this GOP Congress is enabling the madness.
