hi, political philosopher here! this is not funny, central banks only do this when they're in extreme distress

Let us all stand with Chairman Powell.

Congratulations to John Roberts

We stand with the people of Iran—and with people everywhere resisting state violence. Credit and love to @the_virgin_x on Instagram for these slides.

This black man, who was racially profiled by ICE in a gas station in Minneapolis today, would not have walked away if it weren’t for brave Americans who stood up for him and for those whose deaths have brought ICE’s savagery to the epicenter of national attention. Keep calling them out, America!

Here’s the thing. The GOP has a two-vote majority in the House. It wouldn’t take much at all backbone to make big changes. Bravery and duty from almost the literal *smallest* number of Members of Congress. And yet we wait…

That this message didn't hit is kind wild when you look at the time stamp on it

Democrats should demand the dismantling of ICE, congressional hearings into its operations and prosecution of its worst offenders, but at the VERY least they must refuse to spend our tax money to fund these masked goons who are terrorizing our communities.

He didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.

In America you drop your kid off at school, get your brains blown out on the ride home, then the Vice President drops everything for a week to call you a terrorist, to slander your family, to protect the circumstances that led to your death so they can do it again. It is government by Alex Jones.

Amanda Gorman wrote this poem for Renee Good and that’s it for me tonight.

Wow

Philadelphia in candlelight. A city paused. Love showed up for Renee Nicole Good.

ICE agent Jonathon Ross is a murderer

Donald Trump and JD Vance and Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem and Tricia McLaughlin lied. Renee Nicole Good died.

WITNESS: "I just can't let this narrative of self-defense go any further. That’s absolutely not what it was… ICE agents didn’t let anyone help her for 15 minutes, then medics couldn’t get through with their ambulance.”

Make it viral.

ICE violently detain man asleep in his cruise ship cabin—a U.S. citizen & veteran of Coast Guard. Agents jump on bed to tackle undressed wife—rip phone out of her hand to stop filming. "This is not the country I served for," he said. "It's not the America I knew 10 years ago." Carnival Cruise

Way down the list on how insane and evil this is, but... just a point of con law trivia, I guess: the president doesn't have the power to annex territory. Like, even assuming we militarily occupied it. Just on the domestic law angle, it still wouldn't be "part of the US" w/o Congress saying so.

Yay hilton

In 1938, after Hitler took Austria and European leaders gave Hitler a huge chunk of Czechoslovakia, the world hoped Hitler would not try to conquer any other countries. They were wrong. The lesson was that leaders must swiftly unite to stop these type of leaders. Same rule applies now to Trump.

WOW!!!!!!!

The entire reason they’re locked is to prevent weird freaks like this who have no right to be there from marching in and endangering the kids.

Don’t worry gang, no one actually starts their New Year’s resolutions on the 1st. And you’d be silly to begin on a Friday, best save it for Monday. But Monday is the 5th so you’ve kind of missed the boat anyway and can safely put it off for next year.

This message hits hard.

Every Democrat running for office needs to promise investigations and full prosecutions from top to bottom, remove its funding bloat then break up the agency and distribute its core remaining useful functions across other agencies.

🤣😂 Incompetence at its finest. Do u think Bondi, Patel, Taco n All the rich MFs hiding in the shadows r $hittin their pants rn? 🤣 This was krassensteins post on X #arresttrump

Dulce Consuelo Diaz Morales, a 22-year-old U.S. citizen born in Maryland, was taken into ICE custody in Baltimore during a stop. She remains detained despite the fact that she was born in the US and has multiple forms of proof of citizenship #FreeDulce Her lawyer: www.linkedin.com/posts/victor...

When the opening paragraph references Heart’s tribute cover of “Stairway to Heaven” at the 2012 Kennedy Center Honors ceremony (look it up on YouTube) you know the rest is worth reading. Another great riff from @lebassett.bsky.social www.laura-bassett.com/p/kennedy-ce...

Read this.

Trump is taking money out their housing allowances approved by Congress and giving it to them in a “bonus” so it looks like it came from him. It’s just a shell game with military pay from the ultimate con man

So Trump is just giving away another $2.6 billion in taxpayer money for “bonuses” that was not appropriated for that purpose by our duly elected representatives in Congress, while we are $38 trillion in debt.

For parents of children caught in school shootings, the burden is overwhelming—and the answers are painfully few. Dr. Dara Kass’ latest is a must-read. https://contrarian.substack.com/p/what-parents-can-do-when-their-child

George Retes is a U.S. citizen and Iraq war veteran. He was detained by ICE and held in solitary confinement for three days without explanation. George shared his story before Congress to make sure no American has to endure the same abuse he did.

my husband could dance to this song like crazy.

well that is spot on

SHARE NOW: Texas just got a whole lot louder. Jasmine Crockett is running for the United States Senate and Republicans should be terrified. She’s smart, fearless, relentless, and she doesn’t back down from anybody. This is the matchup Texas deserves. Let’s go.

HOPE WALZ: “What world are we f*cking living in? I draw the line at Gus. You people are f*cking disgraceful.” She says MAGA loyalists are now driving by their home and yelling “R*tard!” at her family and her special needs brother after Trump called GovTimWalz the R word.
