something something party of small government something

In 2018 if MAGA learned 2 women working at the NYT, who were also a couple, met with infamous pedophile Jeffrey Epstein it would be on all of their media daily for months or years. It would be their holy grail.

real question is which prominent trump administration figures *aren't* in the epstein files?

"In reality, studies consistently show that same-sex couples are just as good of parents – and sometimes better than – opposite-sex couples."

New from me: It is not just that the US is experiencing democratic backsliding. Authoritarianism has emerged more quickly than in other benchmark countries. This graph from John Burn-Murdoch sums it up. 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/autocracy-...

“Donald Trump is hardly the only Republican pedophile. Dennis Hastert, Republican Speaker of the House, was a pedophile. Roy Moore, Republican Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Alabama, was a pedophile. R.J. May, Republican State Representative, was a pedophile.”

"Dragons, explained Tolkien, assemble huge wealth, appreciating only its quantity, but taking no joy in any particular object. They are, however, enraged if any one piece were to go missing, and would burn the world with fury. They are obsessed to the point of paranoia with thieves."

A handful of district attorneys have formed "Fight Against Federal Overreach" (FAFO) to make sure ICE is held accountable at the local/state level. Reach out to your district attorney and encourage the to join this coalition.

I needed to doublecheck and make sure G.W. Bush didn't die and I missed it, because every other living former President has released a statement condemning the lawlessness and violence of ICE. 1/

"While the report speaks broadly of “religious liberty” and “faith,” its examples, assumptions, and policy prescriptions consistently reflect Christian frameworks [...] without addressing how these proposals might affect religious minorities whose traditions do not align with those norms."

This is a cover up of a murder, led by our own federal government.

We need to understand that Trump/Miller/MAGA see this as a war against blue states and process/act accordingly. If someone is waging war against you, you don't survive by writing them strongly worded letters.

WATCH: President Donald Trump said he would launch the largest deportation program in American history. A year later, here’s how that effort is playing out — and at what cost.

This man is such a fucking idiot.

"in theatre" is how you describe military deployment in hostile territory. Fuck these Nazis.

Mmm. We love a softened tone, folks, don’t we?

The fact that Trump now has the FBI participating in his revenge effort is a terrifying demonstration of just how many guardrails he has steamrolled—or that have fallen away—since 2020. lnk.thebulwark.com/3M18gAX

I wrote to my Congressman, @repkweisimfume.bsky.social, asking why elected Dems are not using every institutional took to obstruct this administration the same way the GOP did to Obama and Biden. The response was completely unacceptable. 1/

Removing Bovino was a PR stunt and an attempt at placating panicked white folks. They've since surged more folks into Minnesota and are ramping up the terror in Maine. Remember, most media is owned by a handful of billionaires. They are invested in the world Trump is trying to create.

What the actual fuck, we can't get decent credit rates but now we can give our cash back to the orange fucking piece of shit? Boycott these credit cards just stop paying them fuck them fuck trump he can eat my own shit and die

Pay attention.

Pay attention to this. The purpose of these investigations is not just to manufacture evidence to support Trump’s 2020 “voter fraud” accusations, but also to set the stage for another round of efforts to suppress votes and delegitimize election results in 2026 (which the GOP is likely to lose).

Colonialism and white supremacy want to erase queer spirituality. Part of resistance and spiritual activism is fighting to protect these other ways of connecting to the divine. Full video available to Patreon supporters. Subscribe now at: patreon.com/WhiteRoseWit...

"I stood there, half-blind, lungs on fire, thinking: We just got tear-gassed over a dildo. Not a brick. Not a Molotov. Not a weapon. A rubber dick. That is how fragile federal masculinity is in 2026."

Resignations are not enough. There needs to be independent investigations and legal consequences for what they have all said and done.

Stop doing Nazi shit and we'll stop calling y'all Nazis. /shrug

Setting the record straight about all these Republicans coming out against what is going on in Minnesota: they are very clear that they care about how this impacts their electoral outlook in 2026 and their political capital to pass legislation. Many of them are quite open about that. 1/

Rep. Veronica Escobar on a homicide in a Texas immigrant detention facility: "I've learned nothing else from DHS, and I think what's also very telling is DHS tried to deport the witnesses to this homicide"

"[...] Attorney General Pam Bondi yesterday suggested that there was something nefarious about how well organized they are as they protect their neighbors." Imagine being such a hollow ghoul you can't fathom that people care about their community even if it includes folks not like them.

"Maybe, just maybe, Marco Rubio really is preventing even worse foreign policy things from happening. None of that, however, changes the fact that he’s a stone-cold liar."

“All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dem[ocrat]s to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump—3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.”"

They're taking money that's supposed be used for your healthcare. They're using it to fund detention centers run by corporations that contribute to Republicans to detain your neighbors. These are the same corporations who are donors to the same politicians who gave them the money.

When the state rushes children onto planes to outrun judges, the law is no longer in charge. Courts are sidelined. Lawyers are locked out. Force is deployed to clear a path for disappearance. We see you. We document. We do not look away. 🟥 We, the people, will not accept this.

If ICE truly were targeting "the worst of the worst" and not, you know, deliberately brutalizing innocent families with children, they'd rush to correct all the stories like this one, apologizing and insisting it's not what they're really doing. They don't because this is deliberate. This is it.

“We have a nice little database.” Two weeks ago I wrote about the risk of Trump using his NSPM-7 memo to treat citizens exercising their rights like terrorists. Now it’s a reality. joycevance.substack.com/p/the-week-a...

Today is, among other things, a reminder that you don't get a general strike by posting that we should have a general strike. You get a general strike—on the rare occasions you do—by the long slow slog of building organizing power with those around you in response to local conditions.

"Slavery was real" Tiny sign at the base of a brick wall that, until yesterday, held panels about the people enslaved by George Washington. Presidents House, Philadelphia.

Apparently anyone who thinks pedophiles should be arrested, corrupt politicians should be jailed, and laws should be followed... is a "leftist." Like, that's the modern definition. If you support rule of law, and you think laws should apply to everyone, you're a "leftist."

The government creating a database of folks exercising their constitutional rights? Sounds like a class-action suit in the making! Especially if/when they start taking retributive action against these folks.

I wouldn't be surprised if they start using these lists to put people on the no-fly lists, audits by the IRS, etc. as retribution. Once a government starts making lists of its citizens like this, the abuses will inevitably follow.

"Trump has managed in just one year to destroy the American order that was, and he has weakened America’s ability to protect its interests in the world that will be. If Americans thought defending the liberal world order was too expensive, wait until they start paying for what comes next."

Why are so many folks surprised at clergy members being harassed and arrested by ICE? 🗣️Didn’t we just celebrate MLK Day? Y’all don’t know what his day job was?!!! Again...folks should have voted accordingly in 2024. Stop waiting to have “the talk” with your children.

He probably means eating them. I swear this man looks like a cannibal serial killer.

We just want an end to ridiculous hidden/extra fees, better oversight of repairs/maintenance, and refunds for stuff beyond our control as a customer. Not for folks to work up a sweat and then get on the enclosed sky tube with us. No one is asking for this. I hate these deeply unserious people.

definitely not sobbing as i sit here and watch this

Happening now: a large group of mostly clergy — primarily local faith leaders, some not — are staging an anti-ICE protest at the Minneapolis airport.
