We gotta come up with a better system than “everything rests on whether these twelve billionnaires are nice”

Y’all didn’t realize they were using “Democracy dies in darkness” as a mission statement, not a salutary motto

Thank you for the 30 day free trial of 2026 but I’d like to cancel my subscription.

Yes they should.

Rand Paul: "After seeing this, if you call this a good shooting you aren't watching the video. This was a real tragedy and a mistake. The man had been disarmed and then shot 10 times ... if we say things that are obviously not true, the situation is going to get worse."

When the president was calling all Somali immigrants "garbage" who "come from hell" and "contribute nothing" to America and therefore needed to go "back where they came from" did you ask him to "stop the rhetoric," Tom?

They won’t investigate the murders of Good or Pretti, but they’ll investigate fake 2020 election fraud. www.reuters.com/world/us/fbi...

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Looks A Lot Like Pam Bondage Epstein Files Transparency.......

I miss having a legitimate government

Don’t think for a second they wouldn’t still be lying about Pretti if the brave and good people of Minneapolis hadn’t done two things: 1) Record everything; 2) Remain peaceful. Both of these things put together kneecapped any lies perpetuated by the DHS/WH. May the next city follow Minny’s example.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

Abolish ICE.

Trump makes a BS post on Truth Social about working with MN with empty promises then Karoline Leavitt walks out to a press conference and makes it abundantly clear that not one damn thing is going to change other than minor adjustments to their propaganda.

Why not just release the Epstein files without redactions? I mean, it’s not like the President will ever suffer any consequences anyway. We are clearly not a nation of laws

It doesn't matter what the Constitution says. If the government can execute you on the street or in your own home on a whim, you have no rights. None.

No notes

The invincible resolve and indomitable spirit of a community determined to throw off the yoke of injustice. Thank you Minneapolis for your strength and nonviolent resistance amidst horrific ongoing tragedy.

Van Hollen: "They really think the American people are stupid. I mean, we can all see the video. We saw the video with Renee Good. We saw the video with Alex Pretti. The real domestic terrorists are in the White House right now."

Looks like the guy who murdered him had a clear view of his empty holster.

This lawless administration is now operating under the “what are you gonna do about it” doctrine. A John Roberts creation.

All to please a wannabe king who is demented and thrives on violence.

ICE was created less than 26 years ago, back in 2003. America survived for 227 years before this agency was formed. People need to stop acting like this one government agency is somehow critical to our very existence.

At what point do we just actually try to overthrow the government? Asking for a country.

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening. The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

The top priority of the deputy director of the FBI after a mass shooting in MI: "What can I tweet about this?" The top priority of the FBI director and deputy director after the killing of Charlie Kirk - getting the right jacket to wear and then planning tweets www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Another proud day for America.

MLK Jr. said America suffers not just from "the vitriolic words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people." Remember this.

Pew Research Institute (2023): • Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants • Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants • Blue State Minnesota has 130,000. And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration." It's *not* about immigration.

I’m just glad the US military is finally focused on the real threats - Minnesota and Denmark.

Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and the United Kingdom release a joint statement:

Virginia's new governor, Abigail Spanberger, signed several executive orders on her first day. One of them was rescinding Glenn Youngkin's order requiring state and local law enforcement to cooperate with ICE. Kickass! All elections matter. Show the fuck up! www.wtvr.com/news/local-n...

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic. The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.

JUST IN: The Virginia Senate has approved a constitutional amendment to enshrine abortion rights. The Virginia House already did this on Wednesday. It's official: there'll be a referendum later this year on the issue.
