live your life in such a way that you aren’t defending kidnapping a 5-year-old

These are for psyops

It's now very clear that JD Vance is consciously taking on the role of putting a softer face on Stephen Miller's fascism. Vance is becoming chief propagandist for ICE's violent paramilitary warfare against Americans. Some thoughts on that in this piece: newrepublic.com/article/2056...

how alaskans (and minnesotans) are born

My Reagan-loving father is officially Team Abolish ICE We are going to win

keep in mind this protest was on a WORK DAY and this many people showed up in nine below zero weather 💪

I’m so proud of Minnesota. I understand why some people belittle protests as not enough, but I really think this shit matters. I saw a clip on Fox News and they had to admit thousands of people showed up. It’s not going to stop Trump, but it’s a signal to your neighbors that they’re not alone.

What Trump said about allied soldiers is nothing new. He’s always been envious of people who had courage because he has always been a coward. Demeaned McCain & POWs, Gen Kelly confirmed he called DDay KIA troops “suckers & losers”, said he always wanted to “win” a Purple Heart.

this right here. if you saw trump get elected twice and you still think voters want status quo, you're a liability. and probably older than television and penicillin.

Just a reminder that two million Epstein files are yet to be released. Pam Bondi says 100's of US attorneys are hard at work processing them. In other words she has no intention of releasing them.

You know who”stayed a little back” in VIetnam? DJT.

nobody who bought these jeans and, worse, decided to wear them to the cosplay convention should be trusted with a firearm

"Minnesota Nice" means no to ICE.

Demonstrators as far as the eye can see. Current status of the march in Downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota for Ice Out of Minnesota. They are turning onto 3rd Street from 5th Avenue.

Every city Stephen Miller invades rebuilds or deeply expands its civil society. One after another.

Ranked choice supporters accuse Alaska election officials of using ‘untrue’ language in repeal ballot measure www.adn.com/politics/202...

there can't be a general strike (and there needs to be) without figuring out how to get a day's wages to the vast number of people who can't afford to take a day off work (let's talk about voting next). any plan needs to defend against fraud and theft and be efficient and fast. thoughts?

umm, i know where it will end up. pick me 🙋

this is the kind of program that quietly and reliably increases the quality of life in American communities, and it's exactly the kind of thing that the current mouthbreather mob wants to end.

I prefer Presidents who can remember which ally they want to invade.

always important to include, so folks who aren't federal prosecutors understand: he would not have sought indictment if he had any doubt he could convict he has the evidence of Trump's crimes, and Trump doesn't want us to see it

Refusing unlawful orders is an obligation. This crap is just insane

if elon musk stacked all of his money as one dollar bills on a table, it would take light over half a second (0.54 seconds) to travel from the table to the top of the stack the stack would be well over a hundred thousand miles tall might be a popular guy at a strip club, but this is not ok

i'm a trained philosopher and i don't say this lightly but i don't see how we survive without putting (at least an indexed, adjustable) ceiling on how much money you're allowed to hoard in our society it was already insane, but now we're about to have a trillionaire who already bought POTUS

I saw a post in all caps saying "RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES NOW." If that doesn't do it, nothing will.

This presidency feels like an abusive household.

we used to have translators and observers in every international interaction, and everything used to be recorded so it could be scrutinized by 'deep state' experts in real time, and by the American people once the contents were no longer 'sensitive'. this is carving a turkey, and the turkey is us.

the thing about Gavin is that he's able to pivot between 4-chan shitposter and 'Presidential' on a dime. that's scary to a lot of folks bc it means he's a great actor. but it allows him to avoid the trap of normalizing Trump's bullshit while trying to condemn it, and that's a superpower rn.

The DHS Form-205, a “warrant” of removal/deportation, is signed by an ICE official, not a judge. That’s precisely why it does not meet the Fourth Amendment standard. (JD did go to Yale Law School so he legit may not know how the Fourth Amendment works)

I think many, many more 'normies' would voice their opinions if they had an easy, comfortable way to do so. Americans are united in their outrage re Trump2's authoritarian overreach. If it's not honking our horns, what will it be? We need a way to show our solidarity and our dissent.

Certain tv people whining that Jack Smith wasn't entertaining is how we got here. He was a breath of sensible fresh air. Competence and calm. PS don't hire entertainment reporters to cover politics.

How many phonebooks is that?!

Nobody can accuse Carney of not exerting leadership. Calling out the emperor for having no clothes has created a cascade. And it plays well domestically in these countries. The age of pandering is mostly over.

It’s pronounced Bored of Peace

Donald Trump will not be president forever. He and his administration will be held accountable one way or another — and the Illinois Accountability Commission will make sure we do just that.

I really feel like the horn-honking thing should be ubiquitous. Especially for older folks who can't stand out in the cold for long. Super low barrier to action, super easy, and loud and effective if we all do it. Sound the alarm. We're under attack.

Judge William Young ends his order protecting noncitizen students targeted for deportation for their activism or speech with this quotation. It’s by Ronald Reagan, who appointed him to the bench four decades ago.

I vote for 1 minute and yes, it felt good to do something!

ok, so two minutes is a *really* long time 😁. maybe 1 min is better? anyway, felt good to do SOMETHING. would be amazing to hear this across every city every day until Congress does its job.

Reminder that our Constitution guarantees due process to ALL persons — not just citizens — and enshrines habeas corpus as a fundamental right. Either everyone has due process — or no one does. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=metN4EiDtmQ

Thank y'all for the kind words good vibes and cussing on my behalf today 🫶🏽

The guy who called Jack Smith a "deranged animal" today has gone on social media 184 times to publicly called Jack Smith "deranged". Jack Smith has gone on social media ZERO times to insult or comment on Donald Trump. Who sounds "deranged" to you?

Ossoff on Kelly: "It's an effort to intimidate veterans across the country from speaking out. It represents an even deeper threat to our civil liberties. So I just want to thank this man for his courage & continuing to speak truth to power even when threatened by authorities who want to silence him"

we are OBLIGATED to meet this moment by our enjoyment of the rule of law our ancestors bled for. this is not a normal time.

🎯

this guy is gonna need a descriptive and catchy nickname....

Your daily reminder that there have been no new Epstein files released in 2026 and only 1% of the files have been released so far. RELEASE THE FILES

'don't tread on me' guys bending themselves into pretzels to attempt to justify gross 4A violations is really a thing to behold
