Everyone on this platform should post a 'remember the Epstein Files' comment. #Trumpsteinfiles #Epsteinfiles

Most delightful post today - and apparently he's not wrong:

I've seen people say that the officer who murdered Nicole Good should be charged with murder, and to that I add that every officer who kept medics from arriving, who barred doctors from helping should also be charged under conspiracy doctrine.

The media (and everyone else) need to stop referring to ICE as "law enforcement". They are out to perform "ethnic cleansing" and to terrorize the population. There is nothing "lawful" about it.

Ex-Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura: “We’re a 3rd world country now. I know. I’ve been to ‘em. I spent 17 months in SE Asia while the draft dodger was playing golf… that’s what happens in a dictatorship. In comes the military. That’s what’s happening here.” 🇺🇸

The news has entirely failed to grasp the unprecedented scope of the ICE and DHS budgets. Nothing like it in modern history. A galaxy of public/private surveillance and caging institutions for $100,000,000,000s unleashed on a public that will be forever changed www.brennancenter.org/our-work/res...

Just saw this

As someone who has multiple dangerous interactions with a car every time I ride my bike I have zero patience for this bullshit from JD Vance and Kristi Noem about the agent feeling threatened by a car turning around. The average bike commuter has more courage than trigger-happy Jonathan Ross.

wasted a whole day trying to make a SciENcv - oh well

It’s easy to think that schools in Minneapolis are closed because the Feds murdered someone in the street but no, the actual reason is that while that was happening, the Feds were busy doing other heinous shit across the city like tear-gassing a school

i know it’s not the first time it’s happened this year but can we just pause and recognize how insane it is that the federal government has shut down an entire large city’s schools for multiple days with their terror

Where your taxes are going: it ain't free to terrorize and kill people in your own cities

Excellent analysis; hard to watch, but important to show the statements by ICE, Noem, Trump, Vance, etc. are lies

ICE is a domestic terrorist organization that has invaded our cities, assaulted immigrants & thrown our neighbors into concentration camps. ICE executed Renee Nicole Good in broad daylight. Any legislator who doesn’t immediately move to abolish ICE is a traitor who sold out their country to fascism

This is how you do journalism in the face of authoritarianism. The facts are appalling. All you need to do is state them plainly. Well done @chrislhayes.bsky.social

Abolishing ICE is the bare minimum. We need to dismantle DHS. We need restitution. And we need trials.

This is the only correct position, and the inevitable response from knee-jerk centrist reactionaries of "it won't work" is not a valid objection. Every member of Congress has a duty to say that what Noem has been doing is not acceptable.

@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.”

Minneapolis.

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy. She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

“ICE kills Good” is awfully on-the-nose.

Masked ICE agents, it seems, are now killing American citizens on American streets. Any Democrat who doesn’t support abolishing ICE should be instantly primaried and run out of the party. This is non negotiable. You cannot support the continued existence of this fascist murderous secret police.

One of the worst parts of these changes is they are asking scientists to legitimize them. In study section, they ask the panel to vote to confirm that a subset of the not discussed grant applications (that most of us haven't read) fall into a pile to be considered for funding. Don't stand for this.🧪

I explained the dangers of the recent politicization of grant reviews at NIH for The Hill, and also that while diversity otherwise remains a bad word, geographic diversity is somehow laudable. thehill.com/opinion/tech...

Why is everyone yelling “release the epstein files” when we should already be yelling “impeach and remove!”? Yelling about the Epstein files is an extra step and it can happen after he’s out of office.

Samuel Alito flew two flags used by insurrectionists. Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election. Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the January 6th plot. It's a stain on our nation that this has effectively been forgotten.

This situation is precisely why we have impeachment

The fact that he not only got away with it but got re-elected is a stunning indictment of our government, media, educational system, and society.

I just want people to remember that what this was was transparently obvious at the time and universally condemned. Hold on to that fact and don't let people change it under you.

man the Access Hollywood tape really told us everything we needed to know didn’t it

They made this announcement on an anonymous phone call.

Speaking as a professional biologist, there is no greater sign of incoming pigheaded movement bigotry than someone attempting to apply the term "biological sex" in the context of human gender fluidity. The term is meaningless, biologically speaking, and tautological.

If this happened to a right-wing activist - every single Republican elected officials (along with the right wing media machine ie Bari would have her on 60 mins by this Sunday) would make her a hero. Where are the Democrats?

„Never forget: whenever Elon Musk walks up to a podium to bullshit you about colonizing Mars or whatever, he is walking on the bodies of dead children. He yanked their food and medicine away while telling lies and cracking stupid jokes.“ @dereklowe.bsky.social as usual not pulling any punches

Only in the last paragraph it is mentioned she didn't get a flu shot this year. The headline should have been "A healthy UNVACCINATED 16-year-old girl dies from flu complications."

Impeach and remove

Family movie tonight: Wag the Dog

There are several steps before impeachment: I would start with refusing to appropriate Defense and State without testimony from Hegseth, Rubio and Bondi. I mean if I was John Thune I would have encouraged Donald Trump to wait after January 30th. But as we all know, January 6 is a trigger for him.

Wow, look at that. The most unsurprising thing this morning.

Chevron donated to Donald Trump’s presidential inauguration fund. Chevron’s CEO publicly praised trump’s energy agenda. Chevron donations: 94% Republican, 6% Democrat. Chevron is the ONLY foreign oil company allowed to operate in Venezuela. Follow the money.

Capitol switchboard (202) 225-3121 Call your reps. Demand impeachment. No illegal war in our names.

The president unilaterally decided to attack a sovereign nation and kidnap its leader, and now he says he's just going to run that county himself for a while too. Call your representatives now and demand they impeach him.

if i was running a political party and every time my opponents held power they started illegal wars for oil and crashed the economy i would simply say that repeatedly
