7/ Right now, I assess our chances of stopping Trump from ending democracy semi-permanently or permanently at <20%. Why? The courts have already made clear that, at least at the highest level, they cannot and will not do their jobs. Congress has literally given its gavel over. Trump has the USAF.

I was disappointed in the number of friends who are passionately fearful of what is happening but were too busy with kid sports to attend the protest.

(🧵) I’m going to say some things that may cost me followers. That’s only appropriate, given that what I say in this thread is about exactly that: how utterly meaningless everything is right now besides saving America—because without rule of law and democracy, nothing we dream of will ever come true.

fun true fact: John Bolton 'liked' this tweet

An ICE agent, who is being arrested for drunk driving and nearly killing his little kids & others, tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers arresting him. Amazing to watch the courtesy given to him as he is belligerent and uncooperative

shit or get off the pot, buddy.

I am ready to believe the sole focus of the Republican party is finding ways to victimize teenage girls www.reddit.com/r/chicago/s/...

I just don't even know what to say anymore

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

At some point, either local law enforcement is gonna have to arrest ICE agents or all the bluster in the world won’t matter.

we don't need a competent president, we need a cartoon character who can make opposing fascism something that can hold the attention of a 4 year old

"I can’t shake the thought that one of our generals should have walked out of that room, resigned his commission, and delivered a speech warning about the peril facing the U.S. military.

I hope smart people are quietly brainstorming how to continue this country if/when the GOP is voted out of power because there's no going back. The destruction is already too overwhelming. It's going to take some very creative thinking and a lot of nerve to do it. Is there an FDR in the house?

My god. “Watson said she saw agents dragging residents, including kids, out of the building without any clothes on and into U-Haul vans. Kids were separated from their mothers…’It was heartbreaking to watch…seeing kids coming out buck naked and taken from their mothers, it was horrible.’”

come on now, if Pete Hegseth lets the military be a sanctuary for bearded fatasses he won't have any left for the Gestapo

the "who will the public blame for the shutdown?" handwringing is asinine. the vast majority of voters have no idea how government shutdowns work, and by the time midterms roll around they won't remember anything that didn't impact them directly

Five days ago, an ICE agent shoved a woman asking questions about the detention of her husband. Today they attacked two journalists. We cannot accept or normalize what has now become routine violence at 26 Federal Plaza. It has no place in our city.

It certainly appears the United States murdered an innocent fisherman who was a husband and father to four children, claimed he was a "narco-terrorist," posted a video of the execution, and then made jokes about it

Mornin, @thehill.com

Chicago journalists exposed ICE's excuses for killing Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez as lies. Remember that when they claim they're shooting journalists for obstructing them. The truth is an obstruction for these people, and telling it anyway is a public service.

WAAAHHHH STOP CALLING US NAZIS 😭😭😭

This is terrifying. Hegseth is summoning all flag officers from around the globe to Quantico the night before republicans shut down the government. Is this a final purge of dissidents? Are they going to use a government shutdown as pretext for massive domestic military mobilization?

Atl Council awarded President Macron, President Milei and Infantino (FIFA) with Global Citizen Award. Macron was speaking at the end. Prior to that, Milei was introduced by Bessent - both praised Trump, chanted MAGA. Event was attended by numerous reps of the Trump Admin. youtu.be/OQ94Oj9QZwg

if I thought anyone was listening I would compile a 25 year long list of republicans calling democrats nazis and comparing literally everything to nazism or the holocaust.

here's some sane commentary! 50 years of dumber, weirder, and more unhinged republicans every cycle. the incoherence, hate, and delusion are approaching real psychosis. we have to face the reality that this is what we're dealing with. oh wait, this is literally sanity about insanity my bad

did Terry Gilliam do this?
