The personal army of the personalist president, already denounced for one term and the first year of his second as a king, is an obvious target for the opposition, whose objective should above all else be concerned with finding ways to limit Trump's power, rather than sneak in good governance.

We can either have states that prosecute murders of their residents by federal agents, or we can have an unchecked federal goon army free to murder despite the law. We can have an opposition party that votes against arming and funding these goons, or we can have cowed opposition in name only.

We have lost our way. 🇺🇸 😳

Holy fuck they actually did it

Ten years in and NYT still can't help but be awestruck by the tyrant and his appetites:

Driving away from screaming, masked DHS freaks is now a capital offense

Is it 2026, or 1933? This from JD Vance should send a chill. Bragging about ICE “going door-to-door and making sure that if you’re an illegal alien, you’ve got to get out of this country…” Screw the Constitution and due process? This doesn’t sound like American values to my ears.

7 Democrats just voted today to confirm a Trump judicial nominee who refused to say what happened on January 6 or answer who won the 2020 election: Durbin Hassan Kaine King Klobuchar Shaheen Welch

Naming a police officer is not doxxing. We aren’t supposed to have secret police in America.

The Fox has announced that it will handle the investigation of the disappearance of the hens from the henhouse. www.cbsnews.com/news/bca-wit...

Democrats should run on the fact that their opposition is literally killing Americans and destroying the country. It’s not hyperbole. That’s the message they should be blasting out to media every day. They are killing Americans and destroying the country. They hate our freedom. They hate democracy

🗞️ Today the NYT had to be seen to be believed. 🗞️ Since I’ll guess many of you didn’t, I called them to account for their despicable actions on your behalf. 🗞️ Their sane-washing of the lying, grotesque Trump has reached incredibly dangerous levels … and is NOT journalism.

Renee Good was murdered. So do something about it, Democrats! Censures, pearl-clutching and strongly-worded letters are the equivalent of Republican "thoughts and prayers". Use those high-priced lawyers to do something that hits Trump 2.0 where it hurts, rather than impotently talking about it.

NEW: Four days before oral arguments, Justice Sam "stock trader" Alito decides he "will not continue to participate" in a case involving oil companies. This means that he did participate in certiorari stage proceedings, despite owning relevant stocks.

Trump describes that he is psychologically needy if not ill, and NYT says that's proof he sees his role as protector of "the West," even though taking Greenland would destroy it. 4 bylines, including David Sanger, wrote this. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/08/u...

Jesus fucking Christ, the Vichy New York Times softselling fascism today

Militarism and armed, lawless aggression are both hallmarks of fascism.

Masked government agents are killing people in the streets, abducting people from their homes in the middle of the night, and arresting those who speak out. If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?

JUST IN: Reps. Massie and Khanna say "DOJ cannot be trusted" to release all of the Epstein files, urge a federal judge to appoint an independent overseer to make it happen. khanna.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Amy Klobuchar voted for one of Trump's nominees the day after a woman in her state was murdered by ICE.

​”You can't protest in a way that offends the right. You can't teach things that the right doesn't want you to teach. You can't read things that they don't want you to read. You can't use words that they don't want you to use but they love free speech.” • Jon Stewart, The Daily Show •

NYT: “Asked in a wide-ranging interview if there were any limits on his global powers, Mr. Trump said: ‘Yeah, there is one thing. My own morality. My own mind. It’s the only thing that can stop me.’” If you’re not alarmed yet you’re not paying attention. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/08/u...

Greg Bovino and his ICE crews are now running convoys through residential neighborhoods in Minneapolis to harass the community. They’re trying to instigate retaliation from the community so tRump can enact martial law. #FuckICE #Resist #Minnesota #GregBovino

Donald Trump wants to send as much as $100,000 in cash to each person in Greenland. With 56,000 people, that's $5.6 BILLION. Meanwhile they're slashing Veterans care, while Americans can't afford groceries. Here's our response: F*** No.

Kristi Noem calling the victim’s actions “domestic terrorism” is propaganda. Full stop. I served as a White House homeland security advisor. I know what that designation means & when it’s misused. A U.S. citizen is dead. She was a mom. This is what ICE impunity looks like. It cannot be normalized.

The shooting in Minnesota is a reminder that while authoritarian governments may justify abuses of power by directing them at scapegoats or vulnerable populations, the goal is ultimately to deploy them against anyone they wish to www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

The agency we all just watched murder a US citizen with impunity is on the verge of being rewarded by having their budget quadrupled within the next three years. July was the best time to stop this. Today is the next best time.

Trump described January 6, 2021 insurrectionist Ashli Babbitt as “an innocent, wonderful, incredible woman” One day after the anniversary of January 6, he described Renee Good-victim of the ICE shooting in Minneapolis-as a “violent” “vicious” woman, while Kristi Noem called her a “terrorist”

The FBI moves aggressively to obstruct any investigation of the ICE homicide in Minneapolis, destroying evidence in the process.

DHS Sec Noem in her press conference today clearly stated public execution of innocent American residents & citizens is part of the training of DHS's paramilitary terrorist squads. This behavior will be expanded. She also committed to obstruction of justice & aiding & abetting 2nd degree murder

White House announces ICE is now a police force investigating democratically run cities

I wish Republicans were as outraged that Trump is ignoring court orders and using ICE as his Nazi Gestapo to disappear and murder US citizens, as they were that time Barack Obama wore a tan suit. #ProudBlue #Pinks #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice

Sen. Katie Britt: "This is what America voted for"

"How did the West fall, granma?" "Well, a bunch of incredibly fragile white people with more money than humans should be allowed to have decided to light it all on fire because somehow, somewhere, a minority was being treated like a human being. And pronouns. They fucking HATE pronouns."

Yes! Trump removed Maduro and, faced with the choice to install a democratic opposition, specifically opted to install MADURO’S OWN REGIME. He didn’t end Venezuela’s regime and their looting of the population, he backstopped it in exchange for the lion’s share of the loot

@chrislhayes.bsky.social: “A 37-year-old American citizen, the mother of a young child is dead tonight. She was shot in the face by an agent of the federal government, and that government has spent the day telling despicable lies about her.”

Abby Phillips on CNN apparently doesn’t want to confront the Trump admin calling a citizen killed in an extrajudicial murder a “domestic terrorist” and quickly redirects the conversation. @brianstelter.bsky.social @jaketapper.bsky.social @erinburnett.bsky.social @ddale8.bsky.social

Every damn Democratic congressperson should be physically standing together on the steps of the Capitol and demanding an end to this deadly abuse. Are they really unable to fight back against this despicable propaganda used to justify the killing by ICE and supported by Noem and Trump?

The president is also signalling to his followers in and out of government what the party line on this horrific murder will be. That it's transparently false is almost beside the point. Indeed, publicly adopting the falsehood will fast become a loyalty test.

Just so you know, this extra $500 billion is enough to END POVERTY using a negative income tax with a 50% phaseout rate. It's also FIVE TIMES the cost of the enhanced child tax credit that cut child poverty in half, that was just too costly to make permanent according to all Republicans + Manchin.

He is the future leader of Senate Democrats. And all Sen. @schatz.bsky.social is offering tonight is cable tv punditry on Elon Musk’s website. 😞

Mike Pence is on board with supposedly “purchasing” Greenland but bumbles when asked about military force to take it.

Not a single GOP person on today has been able to justify today’s actions without blaming the Biden administration. Including Mike Pence. The GOP hates accountability. @andersoncooper360.bsky.social @brianstelter.bsky.social @jaketapper.bsky.social @erinburnett.bsky.social @ddale8.bsky.social
