The Supreme Court gave Trump absolute immunity for using his official powers even for the most corrupt reasons ever, including to criminally investigate state and local chief executives for using their official powers to serve their constituents

A former federal agent after watching the New York Times breakdown of the ICE shooting:

damn -- CNN put together a video of Kristi Noem claiming ICE officers are "highly trained and skilled" and "gifted" alongside to a clip of them beating someone nearly to death in Minneapolis

The American people want the Epstein Files, not Greenland.

“Listen up, everybody.” All that auto worker did was state a fact

Don't worry everyone, Karoline Leavitt promised that Trump was just joking about cancelling the midterm elections.

Trump regrets not deploying the Guard to seize voting machines in 2020 Trump tested deploying the NG last year under §12406 SCOTUS said no to 12406. He’ll have to invoke the insurrection act to deploy the Guard Trump amps up ICE violence in Minneapolis Today: www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

From ever-brilliant @rubenbolling.bsky.social another great cartoon. See original here bsky.app/profile/rube... And reminder that a certain SCOTUS member will be immortalized for something other than "I like beer!" We should use his name in every account of these skin-color-based roundups.

The Trump admin, which says it was investigating fraud in Democratic-led states, quietly shelved a massive welfare fraud investigation in Mississippi involving public funds funneled to Brett Favre and others

Congress could end this at any time.

The Insurrection Act is already happening. Martial law is already here. There are armed soldiers with military-grade equipment running around creating their own laws via violence. In what possible way, aside from naming conventions of the forces, has Trump not unleashed the military on the USA?

As Immigration and Customs Enforcement was racing to add 10,000 new officers to its force, an artificial intelligence error in how their applications were processed sent many new recruits into field offices without proper training. www.nbcnews.com/politics/imm...

More Dems need to think about skating to where the puck will be not where it is. All indications are Trump's brain has turned to mush and no one around him will even try to control his worst impulses. He will just get way crazier and more evil and unpopular by November.

And there it is.

The insurrection act supercut from three months ago.

My latest column: Here’s why nothing about the Renee Good shooting review is normal. substack.com/@thefrankfig...

I spoke in Weatherby Lake last night. It’s a little village in Kansas City. The event was standing room only. I can’t tell you how angry regular folks are about ICE. About the regime. About the shit they are reading in the news every day.

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

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.

Elon Musk: "I'm a free speech absolutist!" Also Elon Musk: "Anyone who teaches students that America was built on stolen land is guilty of treason and should be imprisoned." Look, some of us tried to warn people that Elon Musk doesn't care one bit about free speech. But did anyone listen?

This is surreal. 4 Oglala Lakota men kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis have finally been located. One of them was released but the other 3 are being held at Fort Snelling, a former concentration camp used to imprison Native people incl. the Dakota 38 during Dakota Wars. ictnews.org/news/north-c...

ICE agents are stalking the streets of Minneapolis demanding that random brown people provide proof of citizenship. We good with that, America? I thought we learned this lesson back in World War II, but I guess not.

32 people died in ICE custody last year — the agency’s deadliest year in over two decades. Meanwhile, private prison corporations that are building and overseeing ICE detention centers are raking it in. Cashing in on cruelty.

What is this if not a police state?

While we’re waiting for Republicans to unveil their healthcare plan, remember this: Health insurance didn’t start as a corporate cash grab. Before the ‘70s, giants like Blue Cross & Blue Shield were nonprofits. Then the 1973 HMO Act, signed by President Nixon, turbocharged for-profit healthcare 1/2

A government agency that constantly lies, evades any accountability and rewrites reality in real time is not maintaining order. It is laying the groundwork for more chaos, more violence, and fewer limits on power.

"“They specifically asked me if I knew where the Hmong families lived on my street & in the neighborhood.” Lugert-Thom responded, “I don’t know anything about that” & she said they then asked, “Well, what about the Asian families?”" "“I was a bit shaken & a bit shocked of what I was asked to do.”"

Fox News is going all-in on manufacturing consent to murder liberal white women:

The fastest way to end the war in Ukraine is to make it unsustainable for Russia. That requires helping Ukraine scale up drone and missile production to intensify the pressure on Russia’s economy. It’s that simple

The phrase “Taxation without representation” needs to once again be a rallying cry.

Every Democratic leader in the country needs to be loudly denouncing what is happening in Minnesota. Restore order, rule of law, withdraw. Silence is complicity and our party leaders need to make clear they stand.

Wildfires now destroy twice as much tree cover per year as two decades ago – a crisis fuelled by climate change

Powell sent Senate Banking Committee members a 4 page letter detailing construction cost details last July. Makes it basically impossible to argue he misled Congress. Letter is here: d1e00ek4ebabms.cloudfront.net/production/u...

Where is the business community and corporate leaders of Minnesota based companies in speaking up? Why aren't the big law firms sending lawyers to represent the people being attacked? We are not at the end of this authoritarianism, we are at the beginning. And, sadly, we are on our own.

Frey: "You cannot drag pregnant women through the snow. You're not allowed to take teenagers out of their car and detain them when they are in fact American citizens. That is against the law in every state. That is against our US Constitution."

“To settle this, it would be great if the White House would release the case files and any FBI recordings of Tom Homan’s meetings with undercover agents posing as businessmen...” www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

The Minnesota shooting case is now metastasizing unlike any i've ever seen. The successive resignations of heads of the crim section at CRD and 3 top career prosecutors in Minn -- who had hung in all this year n/w/stg multiple outrages-- means the Department is in open revolt in DC and the field.
