Coupled with their stated plans to outlaw transness entirely as "pornographic," this is their way to forcibly detransition all trans people who don't go back into the closet Genocidal, full stop

Not one but two sex scandals at Trump’s Labor Dept - one involving the Labor Secty herself AND a second one involving her husband. Wow.

a government for, by and of degenerates

You do not need ID to check out a book. You often show your ID to get your library card and then you never show your ID again, JUST LIKE VOTING YOU CRETINS

I know we’re all just used to Trump living in his Mad King era, but this isn’t how this is supposed to work at all. The entire reason the Constitution puts this power in Congress is so that whether or not we go into a war of choice isn’t just one man’s decision. www.cnn.com/2026/02/18/p...

Thousands of institutions abandoned programs, ended or rewrote scholarships, closed down clubs and publications, all in pre-emptive compliance. And you know why? Mostly because they wanted to do it if they thought they could blame someone else for it.

The 2-month-old baby in ICE detention was so sick he was hospitalized and unresponsive last night. Despite that, today, he and his entire family were deported. Now we don’t know where they are or if the baby is receiving healthcare.

Another thing to add to the Dem platform: all of these contracts were plainly procured through fraud, not one of them will be honored, and all culpable parties will be prosecuted. This isn't a "radical" demand, it's the bare minimum required to re-establish the rule of law.

Have you ever once seen the New York Times quote Trump like this?

Hey everyone. Potentially the biggest story in the country, right here. substack.com/home/post/p-...

They talk and act exactly like Nazis in pursuit of the exact same objectives as Nazis using the exact same tactics and rationales as Nazis but it would be wrong to call them Nazis until they grow the little mustache.

The commander in chief telling troops who they have to vote for is itself a presidency ending impeachable scandal.

In 1854, after watching the federal government deploy 2000 federal troops and spend $40,000 sending Anthony Burns back into slavery, Boston's Amos Adams Lawrence said “we went to bed one night old-fashioned, conservative, Compromise Union Whigs and waked up stark mad Abolitionists.”

UCLA said no to Trump's abusive demands, went to court, and the govt is backing off. Harvard said no to Trump's abusive demands, went to court, and the govt is left sputtering. Columbia, Cornell, and Northwestern giving in was a big mistake. If only there were lessons against appeasing fascists.

This level of depravity is monstrous.

Repeat after me: An executive order is not a royal edict; it is not law. It is a direction to the executive branch as to how to carry out the law. Also: Key parts of Trump's last EO on elections have been stopped by federal courts, ruling that the President has no role to play in federal elections

"Again."

Another way to phrase this is, “ICE shot someone and got caught lying about it.”

Every single time a story like this is reported, we must assume that there are many many more that do not.

It will very much be worth your time to read this.

This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.

A Reuters photographer captured this image of a page from Pam Bondi's "burn book," which she used to counter any questions from Democratic lawmakers during an unhinged hearing today. It looks like the DOJ monitored members of Congress’s searches of the unredacted Epstein files. Just wow.

If you're an attorney in Minnesota, the MSBA is offering a CLE this Friday (2/13), at noon, about the latest developments in our communities' legal needs, and providing guidance on how attorneys in all practice areas can support efforts to meet them. Free for members mnbars.org?pg=events&ev...

I can't think of an attorney general ever showing this much open contempt for Congress before. Not only would most of them think this kind of conduct was beneath them, they'd have known that the Judiciary Committee chair, whatever the party, would never stand for clownish antics like this.

The three genders

"Here, finally, is a worthy use of the NIMBY impulse that is so easy to activate for worse reasons." Friends, you can use that. I highly recommend going full Karen for the right reasons.

Helluva statement from Colorado Rep Crow (D) on the Trump administration's failure to indict him and others

US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE: "I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

So I think everyone knows what Chuck E. Cheese is but for non-parents who don't know what LifeTouch is, it's the company that for decades has had a near-monopoly on school pictures.

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

“Collection of Handwritten Letters from Children in Detention Center” sounds like an exhibit in the Holocaust Museum.

Do you wanna make sure you didn’t miss a single second of symbolism from Bad Bunny’s halftime show? This thread gotchu!

This woman is in charge of the US Agency for Global Media, which is supposed to serve and represent the best American values

It's not even midnight and we're already at "Deport Elmo."

My dudes if you are also a white lady with anxiety you can buy trackers to put on your dog's collar you can even set it to alert if they exit your residence and you don't have to contribute to a fascist surveillance state to do it.

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

Pretty sure it wasn’t actually Liam. But it was a clear homage.

Oh my levels of fandom are about to get truly intolerable if this is right

OK "god bless america" and then naming every country in the americas from south to north is absolute king shit

"God Bless America:" then he lists most of the countries in the hemisphere starting with Chile I think? this rules

Speaking of this atrocity, it's come to my attention that not everyone knows Kid Rock had a sex tape that also featured Scott Stapp, the lead singer from Creed. #familyvalues

The number of trans youth suicides in the UK quadrupled in 2021 following significant restrictions in access to care. The NHS tried to cover this up with a fake report that tried to hide the truth. goodlawproject.org/new-data-sho...

“History happened” is now a political statement?

You have to understand that these are fundamentally bad people with hatred in their hearts.

Again, the first best choice to understand the Trump Administration is to think like the basic conspiracy theorist and go from there. To everyone wondering why Paul Weiss settled: well, Brad Karp, their chairman was in the Epstein Files, and did not want it come out.

This is the guy who led Paul Weiss to bend the knee to Trump

no comment could possibly be adequate

This is action EVERY city in the country can take. If your hotels cooperate with ICE, goodbye liquor revenue.

Political scientists here have rightly been dunking on other academic fields in which prominent figures appeared in the Epstein Files, but here's a prominent political scientist in the Epstein Files .... shaming the shit out of them.

There was a time leading up to Obergefell where judges knew they were about to say their piece in the apex of a historical moment and wrote accordingly. This reminds me of that time, with the existential threat turned up to 11.
