Come on then, and remove him.

In 2024, we watched news media lead a concerted and sustained effort to end Bidens presidency *and it worked.* If they wanted to, Donald Trumps fitness for office and mental state could be all they talk about going forward. They arent doing so bc they dont see anything theyre interested in changing.

Millions of American voters wanted to be villains. They came to believe it’s the key to success, while goodness is weak, woke, loser stuff, done only to signal. Offered the option of unvarnished villainy, they enthusiastically took it. Seeing others suffer more made them feel big. And here we are.

This Ann Applebaum article is the clearest and most cogent thing I’ve ever read about Trump, and it’s brutal.

i just think Watering Flowers While Black should not be an arrestable offense nor do i think this should be controversial ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

More fodder for my “she leaked this to try to salvage her public image” theory.

google doodle fans are shocked to see that today's one is just a pic of some guys shit. well played sir, april fools is once again Respected

Several commenting readers and at least 2 bsky commenters have pointed out that this is a wildly incorrect description of the decision. The Strib has removed the comment section from the article, but has made no correction. This is a very surprising deviation from basic journalistic practices.

The whole world will be your enemy, prince with a thousand enemies. And when they catch you, they will smash you with a hammer. But first they must catch you.

"Lenders who originated data center loans—including the private credit facilities described in Section A—have begun pooling those loans and selling tranches to asset managers and pension funds, spreading risk well beyond the original lending institutions." www.quinnemanuel.com/the-firm/pub...

Kristi Noem is hot trash who deserves far worse than she will ever get. The story outing her husband's fetish is just people pointing and sneering and saying, "ew, look at the pervert." It's pretty gross.

The key to understanding Trump II is that it’s an administration predicated on doing a national murder-suicide for the crime of embarrassing Trump in 2020

(1/4) Beatings, sexual assault, broken ribs, dislocated jaws; the use of gas and rubber bullets; and guards regularly threatening to kill detainees, telling them they would be buried alive and that there was a crematorium to dispose of their bodies so no one would ever find them.

Just got alerted to a large urgent rent need for a family in Bloomington who has eviction court scheduled TOMORROW and needs $3800+ to prevent eviction. Adopt a rent has about $2400 we can send toward this family now but can we raise the $1400 balance? 🌻🌻🌻

your grandparents voting for reagan

This story is insane. Married an American, arrested at her greencard interview, flown out of state, nearly killed multiple times when her diabetes was ignored and then mistreated. When she finally got out? Found out her credit card had been used illegally. www.daylightsandiego.org/san-diego-wo...

They keep stealing shit from the people they detain. Remember how they took that kid’s cell phone and sold it for cash? Just straight up lawless gangsters

Eagan, MN. One of at least 30 events across the Twin Cities. Not the one with Bernie and all the elected officials. No Bruce Springsteen concert. Conservatively 500 people, likely closer to 1000. Just an hour of people showing up, and thousands of neighbors expressing approval as they drive through.

Holy cow my investigation into Riley Gaines for @pablo.show was nominated for an Emmy in Outstanding Sports Journalism!!! Cannot stop dancing around my apartment. Here's the show if you missed it! www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKUl...

Robert E. Lee got his ass beat at Gettysburg by a professor of rhetoric and oratory from Bowdoin College and generations of reactionary fantasists have died mad about it.

“Children's entertainer Ms. Rachel has a new cause: Freeing kids from ICE detention” “Wearing her signature pink headband, Rachel Accurso spoke with two children being held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center. She described the conversations as devastating.”

Remembering the ancient ways

I still get chills when Toshiro Mifune yells this in SAMURAI REBELLION

“We’re not going to talk about anything other than the high prices caused by the dumb policies of this administration. Also, we’re going to make sure voters don’t experience those high prices. The voters will definitely reward us instead of believing we were wrong about the policies.”

People are missing the point by thinking that this is about accountability, or even the bad PR from ICE operations. Noem got fired because GOP senators and reps repeatedly pointed out that she was spending a fortune on an ad campaign that featured *her*, instead of Trump.

Chavez isn't the only progressive elected official who has been out on the streets during Operation Metro Surge and beyond — but he is possibly the most personally affected by the operation. Two of his uncles have been deported in the past few months.

This sounds like a shitpost but I am being serious for once. What are the best IR/FPA works on stupidity? Because from a theoretical standpoint, the ability to signal clearly and interpret the signals being sent correctly is nontrivially important in the bargaining process.

Oldie: The Psychology of Military Incompetence by Dixon Critique: Pois and Langer’s Command Failure in War. Carl was already there. The primary fault of the commander is Eigensinn — lit. “own sense,” aka unresponsive to the actuality of the world; “authoritarianism” (D) or ”inflexibility“ (P&L)

Guess they figured out what to do with that extra $500 billion.

I need to address this immediately, because I am WAY too Minnesotan to ever claim credit for this. I built a thing to point the fire hose of people's generosity in the right direction. That's it. I am thankful for the piece, because hopefully it means people will donate more money.

Same, newly discovered dinosaur, same.

Not gonna quoteskeet because I'm not interested in getting into an online slapfight, but it's genuinely depressing to see lots of accounts with good politics twisting themselves into pretzels to defend retweeting a blindingly obvious Nazi dog whistle.

I’m just a Minneapolitan, standing in front of a country, asking them to stop platforming our mayor for swearing on tv about ICE and then doing nothing substantive while antagonizing city council members that are

Muppet Bladerunner where Deckard is implied to be a Muppet too

The lasting way to fight fascism—and the thing each of us can do—is to liberate your mind from the fascist framework. Stop being frightened of the things that fascists say are frightening. Start looking at those things as liberation. Fear the things fascists say make us safe. See them as prisons.

Good news! I did some research and there's a Nuremberg in Pennsylvania. It's kind of small, but I bet we can make it work.

The horror stories rolling in from Minnesota are just the tip of the iceberg. This 20-year-old, who's lawfully present in the country, was arrested for being Latino, then jailed in a filthy cell where he couldn't even sit down. 18 days of illegal detention. democracyforward.org/wp-content/u...

Hennepin County Sheriff Dawanna Witt collaborates with ICE. Sheriffs escorted and protected ICE in this action.

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

I would love to have a discussion with Jake Tapper about the history of the term "concentration camp" and its usage. It would do so much good if he would actually address this head on.

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: “I was literally begging the agent who was holding me back to let me do CPR,” she told The Intercept.

Ending this operation is not enough. We need justice and accountability. That starts with independent investigations into the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, economic restitution for businesses impacted, abolishing ICE, and the impeachment of Kristi Noem.

I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it. I’ll call it “lessons from an unwilling immigration attorney.” 1/

it's easy to miss if you don't spend much time on X or right-wing media, but the demonization of immigrants ties directly into trump's claims of stolen elections. the notion that there's a dem plot to let illegal immigrants vote is key to how the right justifies both Jan 6 *and* ICE's behavior

we need to put schoolhouse rock back in schools!!!!!

you thought you could make your "we have a panopticon for hunting down specific people one at a time, this is awesome" story about a lost dog. you showed visuals of how that worked in excruciating detail. small children pointed at the screen and said "they're going to do that to people"
