I really can't state this enough. Federal agents have been teargassing parks and residential neighborhoods for weeks but didn't show up for a fight downtown today and look what didn't happen. Wishing absolute worst wishes to our occupying forces. GTFO of Minnesota.

Note how there's no violence or chaos when the cops aren't rioting.

Transphobia is a cancer of the heart and mind. It is a useless fear, based on ignorance and cruelty. Trans people are not responsible for a single one of the problems we face. Do the world a favor and grow the fuck up.

My favorite Bob Kane story:

Two women trained as first responders were abducted by three ICE agents. One of the agents starts seizing. The other two don’t know what to do. The women jump into action and save the agent’s life, only to be re-handcuffed and processed. www.startribune.com/detained-by-...

A German soccer federation executive committee member says it's time to consider a World Cup boycott because of the actions of U.S. President Donald Trump.

"A federal magistrate judge rejected that warrant, noting that Good was already dead and could not be considered a suspect for a warrant." They killed her, exonerated her killer without an investigation, then tried to illegally investigate her.

Right after Renee Good shifted into drive, Johnathan Ross unholstered his weapon. He shot her three times as she tried to drive away from him and then called her a “fucking bitch.” Yet, the DOJ is refusing to investigate Ross. Minnesota must.

As angry as we might be at Democratic leaders, we are still not angry enough.

i don't *care* how they feel but as I watched this I wondered what it felt like to be one of those cops, sent out to arrest clergy peacefully praying for the humane treatment of others. and agreeing to do it.

You don’t know your role yet maybe, but we are all finding out just what we have to offer. In Minneapolis, one man knew immediately what he could offer and said “Bring me your clothing”.

This must be weird news to see if you’re one of the literally hundreds or even thousands of university administrators who preemptively censored faculty, scrubbed websites, changed the names of centers, etc.

The leaders of Albania & Azerbaijan were filmed mocking US Trump for claiming he ended a war between the 2 countries, even though they have never fought each other. The world thinks that the occupant is a joke. He’s destroying our country. Congress must act.

There is *no* functioning Dem leadership at this point. Jeffries and Schumer need to go NOW if our nation is to have any chance.

If every Democrat voted NO on funding ICE, it would not have passed the House. But, 7 House Democrats voted to fund Trump's lawless, masked goons, so it passed. Hakeem Jeffries refused to whip his members to vote against ICE funding. Genuinely unforgivable.

Jack Smith: "The people who assaulted police officers and were convicted after trial in my view and I think in the view of the judges who sentenced them to prison are dangerous to their community. Some of these people have already committed crimes against their communities again."

Jack Smith on Trump pardoning J6ers: "I think all of us, if we're reasonable, know that there's going to be more crimes committed by these people in the future. I do not understand why you would mass pardon people who assaulted police officers. I don't get it. I never will."

Helen Keller was a fierce socialist, who spent her life fighting for the rights of the oppressed. We should *be* so fucking lucky to be lead by her.

The deeper issue is Miller and maybe Vance want people who are eager to show solidarity with immigrants to fear state violence. They want us to fear Trump is capable of the worst. I try to develop a theory of the moment here. 5/5 (h/t @radleybalko.bsky.social) newrepublic.com/article/2055...

This is, ofc, unconstitutional (I walk through the analysis ⤵️); ICE is speed-running transformation into the Trump Regime’s Gestapo - there can be no excuse for Congressional leadership not whipping votes against funding this. www.patreon.com/posts/147921...

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional! ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

This is a more accurate metric of impending bad weather than the Waffle House Index

He goes on to describe one of his officers being stopped when she was off-duty solely because she's non-white, harassed by ICE goons who slapped her phone out of her hand as she tried to record, only to be let go when she finally revealed she was a cop.

Is it really as easy as adjusting my expectations for myself? Is it really as easy as not judging myself, and hitting publish instead of cancel? Why is that so hard?

i am a middle aged white mom with a minivan. i live in a brick ranch and vote democrat in every election. i am the electoral equivalent of a free space in bingo. I PROMISE THIS IS NOT WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT AT MY KITCHEN TABLE

I just woke up from a nap and somehow while I was asleep, everyone on the bus has figured out we are not going to the right place

As expected, DHS’s claims were false. It’s still possible the men previously lived at the address, but it’s clear they didn’t even bother to check whether they still lived there before publicly claiming the men currently lived with Mr. Thao.

🤔 In 2021, Kip Mock of Moscow ID accidentally set his pal, Elijah Froh, on fire by pouring diesel on a fire. Mock & Froh were later were hired by Valar Atomics—founded by their pal, Isaiah Taylor, a high school dropout from Moscow, ID who somehow landed a DOE contract to build a nuclear reactor. 1/

Four attorneys told ABC News they have been denied access to their clients at the Whipple Federal Building in Minneapolis, where they are being held, which they say would violate 5th & 6th Amendment rights to due process & the right to consult with counsel. abcnews.go.com/US/lawyers-a...

Minneapolis citizens have organized pick ups of released detainees. Bringing them clothes, phones, food and rides. Without which these people would be released into freezing temperatures with no way to contact anyone and often with little to no clothing. /

Also hate "this is not about politics." Sorry people, you have to GROW UP. EVERY DAMNED THING IS POLITICAL. Everything. The word people are searching for is PARTISAN.

Gosh, if only there were a constitutional mechanism for removing a president who is mentally ill and unfit to hold office.

This incident has really really messed me up. bsky.app/profile/mari...

So funny to see these people using the "invest/divest" frame now in their messaging. Defund is the invest/divest frame. LOL. They stole your health care to pay for ICE...

Top of the charts at my house today

Fight and help win a world war. Establish a global order that cements your national power for 80 years. Blow it all up. What am I missing?

Four GOP Senators. At most four Repubs in the House. Together they could stop nearly all the mad-king's rampages. They would be known to history as Profiles in Courage. They might/would lose the next election. But people have sacrificed a lot more, for a lot less.

I can't repeat this enough.

I can’t get the face of this autistic woman out of my mind. She was driving through an area where ICE was active when they forcibly removed her from her car. She was on her way to a brain injury clinic appointment. She screamed as they carried her away that she was autistic and had a brain injury.

More than 200,000 Danish citizens have signed a petition to buy California as a response to Trump’s attempt to take Greenland. They say they will provide Californians with “rule of law, universal health care, fact-based politics, and a lifetime supply of Danish pastries.”

Minneapolis.

When Democrats folded in the last government shutdown—rescuing the GOP majority from itself and helping them pass a budget, giving validation to the Trump administration’s lawbreaking—the savvy politics knowers explained that folding was clearly worth it because it got the Epstein Files released.

I genuinely don't understood how America took the emoluments clause -- the common-sense bar on a president using his powers to line his own pockets, a law children can understand -- and just said, nah, that doesn't apply for our Very Special Boy.

It's just distressing. In some days it's just too much to take. But there are people fighting back! Thank goodness!

exactly this. do you correctly view MAGA as an evil force that jerks off over murdering women and flash banging babies, which must be crushed and destroyed forever? Or are you still clinging to a dangerously naive delusion that these creatures can be won over with the Power of Debate?
