Immediate punishment for speaking out against the regime.

It’s notable that the president can go on TV and be a total gutter racist, and somehow this isn’t news in the slightest. Says a lot about the sickness of American society right now.

hard to believe that the Charlie Kirk firings / pearl clutchings happened mere months ago but here we are

Imagine watching JD Vance this last year and thinking “yes…get me pregnant”

I think about this a lot: the fact that it's "inconceivable" is a HUGE part of the problem. Hey folks: conceive of it. That's the necessary first step. This fascism is in fact happening, and the whole "I can't imagine" part is stopping a lot of progress in overcoming it.

What will they do with that political power for accountability? They also won’t say that either.

We have an entire class of Democratic "leadership" that has been told that it's dangerous and extreme to say this, and that does not understand that what Democrats want is for their leaders to articulate what they believe and why they believe it. That should not be as big an ask as it apparently is.

NEWS: The Social Security Administration has referred two DOGE employees for Hatch Act violations after discovering contacts with a political group seeking SSA data to overturn election results. www.politico.com/news/2026/01...

The Founders (rightly) thought financial corruption was so concerning they banned it in the Constitution three separate times: the two emoluments clauses, and the only named impeachable offense besides treason. Starting in 2017, America decided it just kinda didn't matter anymore, whatcha gonna do.

There’s literally nothing that will convince them to just stop participating in this illegitimate government. It’s the simplest answer - No - for everything, and yet they twist and turn to find excuses for a yes.

"A review by the editorial board relying on analyses from news organizations shows that Mr. Trump has used the office of the presidency to make at least $1.4 billion." www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

A woman left a comment on Facebook criticizing the Mayor of Miami Beach,. The Mayor of Miami Beach then sent the cops to her home.

It's cool that these guys just use pepper spray casually now, against people who are wholly within their rights, without a moment's hesitation. Several shots of them using it as they climb into their cars and drive away, not even a pretense of urgency or need. Just a parting "fuck you" to them.

I think Brett Kavanaugh should be marched around in -24 degrees F in this outfit. Once a week. Forever.

The US is collapsing into fascism and going to war with Europe and the opposition party is like “I’m here to talk about the important thing: how your average grocery bill has risen by two dollars over the last year, which I also have no plan or ability to fix”

It’s really too bad that Trump’s cabinet are all spineless worms or equally crazy because “the President has gone insane and is going to destroy the transatlantic alliance because they didn’t give him a Nobel Peace Prize” is kind of exactly the thing we have a 25th Amendment for

The author of a controversial memo from centrist think tank Searchlight telling Democrats to abandon the slogan “Abolish ICE” is a senior advisor for WestExec, a D.C. shadow lobbyist for corporations in the defense, surveillance, and immigration enforcement industries. prospect.org/2026/01/19/a...

This is the kind of aggressive megalomania many observers noted in Hitler's public statements

ICE ended up returning the man, Saly, after realizing he’s a fucking US citizen with no criminal record, per his sister-in-law. These fucking animals.

The shadow cabinet idea was a great idea and should have been implemented a year ago. Would have presented an organized, unified response to the chaos, issue by issue, by people with expertise.

Nick Fuentes, Andrew Tate, Sneako, and Clavicular were all in a night club in Miami singing and dancing to the Kanye song "Heil Hitler" which they requested be played.

Four GOP Senators. At most four Repubs in the House. Together they could stop nearly all the mad-king's rampages. They would be known to history as Profiles in Courage. They might/would lose the next election. But people have sacrificed a lot more, for a lot less.

The more info we get about this raid, the worse it becomes. ICE had NO valid warrant (administrative warrants do not authorize forceful entry into a home), the guy's sole prior conviction was a since-dismissed drug charge from 2008, AND he had checked in with ICE just days earlier.

"A fellow detainee says he witnessed Geraldo Lunas Campos being choked to death by guards at an ICE detention center in Texas on Jan. 3."

My sister watched me make a PB&J and was surprised to find out I spread the PB on one slice of bread and the jam on another. She puts the jam on top of the PB. Anyway, not to worry, she’s with the authorities and off the streets. She’s no longer a danger to the rest of us.

Nice little country you have here, be a shame ...(™)

historically accurate☑️

Kennedy, obsessed with vaxxed/unvaxxed studies that would not be approved by US ethical review boards, planned to fund one in West Africa — one that would have caused unnecessary disease and death for extremely vulnerable children. After negative media attention, it was canceled. Coverage matters.

the most concerning aspect of Charles Schumer's rhetoric isn't "messaging" (although, yeah, the messaging is weak), it's that his rhetoric signals that his practical leadership would be weak if Democrats retake the senate majority

It’s 2026. AI is creating deepfake porn. Tech companies surveillance platforms can track every movement. Yet Rocket Mortgage wants me to create an entire new email bc at some point in the last 15 years they registered my email & now can’t use it for an existing account of a company they acquired.

UNICEF: a child has been killed every day in Gaza by Israel since the start of the 'ceasefire.' “These children are killed from airstrikes, drone strikes, including suicide drones. They’re killed from tank shelling, they’re killed from live ammunition, they’re killed from quadcopters.”

Which types of welfare fraud are politely litigated between white collar lawyers, and which types of welfare fraud are used to justify an immigration purge and shutting off resources to the poor?

New: meet ELITE, the Palantir app ICE is using to find neighborhoods to raid. Map interface; officers search for immigrants; click person to bring up individual dossier. This is clearest link between what Palantir is building and ICE's activities on the ground yet www.404media.co/elite-the-pa...

When we say "explicitly neo-Nazi" we mean channels that fly swastikas and praise Hitler. That's the zone of internet where DHS is apparently finding inspiration for their X posts. It's ultra unlikely they would have ever encountered that song if they weren't in that space, imo.

The Star Tribune had an insane graphic about the presence of immigration enforcement in Minneapolis. There are more immigration officers in the metro right now than local police officers.

“It’s monumental,” Stackhouse told Bolts. “If I am sent a letter saying I should come in for a jury, I am excited to go through the process. I’ve been telling family and friends that when they get a letter and they try to get out of jury duty—no, you should be excited to be involved. I am.”

Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.

Saint Paul schools will be closed Tuesday and Wednesday to prepare for optional online learning. I’ve seen schools close for snow, for pandemic, for natural disaster. I’ve never seen schools close because of threat from our own government.

Look at what Trump has done.

Checking in on CBS News(max)

Huh. Hmmm even.

Rape regime

The Supreme Court only cleared the way for Kavanaugh Stops four months ago and ICE now openly engages in violent racial profiling, snatching anyone who looks non-white and treating them as presumptively guilty of a crime. Remarkable how quickly our liberties can be crushed when courts go along.

Imagine having Trump point at you - you specifically - and say "fuck you" - again, fuck *you* specifically - twice in one day, and then he caps it off by flicking you off in front of everyone. The stuff of legends tbh

Siri, show me the perfect example of feckless Democratic responses to GOP authoritarianism

People didn't take that Access Hollywood tape seriously and now Trump is doing it globally

In the last 4 days: -- Elise Slotkin says she's being criminally investigated by DOJ -- ICE illegally goes "door to door" in Minneapolis -- FBI raids the home of a WP journalist -- DHS illegally arrests, detains 100+ Somalians with legal refugee status
