They want it formally dead, but NATO is already functionally dead as a geopolitical reality. Even if he backs down (wouldn't bet on it), there's no going back from sending European capitals into a spiraling panic that the US is seriously about to invade one of them. You can't unring that bell.

so they need a weeks notice to what? what? what? What? WHAT? The crimes against humanity happening are making me sick to my stomach.

I can't believe I'm posting this video - but we actually have to have a conversation about the real world implications of America going to war over Greenland. Let me walk you through it. It doesn't turn out well for us.

To paraphrase from the article “The Joint Chiefs are trying to distract the President from invading a NATO ally’s territory by suggesting he bomb Iran to regime change it” What the absolute fuck man

I knew there was a reason why I stopped watching The Traitors and it is because the producers would cast Michael Rapaport. If I was Alan I would have quit. But I'm not.

Zac Kinney shared this photo from the second of two ICE deportation flights at MSP today - one of the 47 deportees was still in their Amazon uniform. (I counted 127 deportees on the first flight)

Multiple eyewitness accounts of ICE's shooting of two people in Portland agree that ICE opened fire AFTER the pickup truck with the two individuals was already driving away, violating DHS's own rules. They opened fire in a public area, near a hospital, without regard for safety. Lawless thugs.

a woman labeled a terrorist by US law enforcement and the White House is being simultaneously memorialized at NBA games and by major cultural icons. this regime is literally own-goaling itself to death. it’s cooked.

Republicans somehow managed to sprint from “we’re trying to protect women in sports” straight to defending a woman being shot in the head three times at point blank range for trying to drive away from a masked thug.

this is a nazi slogan. we are occupied. We are their enemy.

I hope people see and understand and honor and respect the absolute bravery of Ilhan Omar being out there doing this.

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you." The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?" "Learned what?" she asks Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

Indeed, even this is not really an exaggeration at this point. The United States of America Except When The Mad King Decides Otherwise?

Those of you who still insist on drawing a distinction between ICE and police should be aware that the police are not drawing that distinction.

Look, again, it’s a sign of how completely our constitutional order has collapsed that Trump is still President after this. But that was true of everything DOGE did, of threatening 🇨🇦 & 🇬🇱, of sending the military into cities, etc. We’re a totally non-functional polity. Article I no longer operates.

You cannot tell voters that this regime is an existential threat one day and aid and abet it every other day. Either you're lying or you are complicit, neither of which makes you fit for office.

Please understand what it means when journalists are evacuating their family members out of town. In any other country, we would be approaching "foreign sanctions" territory

We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.

Looks like ICE is now cracking down on … Native Americans. This letter was just posted by the chairman of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in North/South Dakota: “Our Nation is a sovereign government and our members are not immigrants. We are not subject to immigration enforcement on our own lands.”

so they’re really just slamming the gas on civil war, aren’t they

at some point we're gonna have to have a real conversation about why we're still paying federal taxes to a regime that isn't using them to help anyone, but instead is using them to brutalize us

ICE killed an unarmed mom and the administration's response was to drag her corpse through the mud by calling her a terrorist

The authoritarian, violent, and anti-science actions of the Trump admin over the past week show clear contempt for democracy and the public good, endangering people in the US and around the world. Congress must uphold its constitutional responsibility and hold the administration accountable.

What would Trump have to do to force the Republicans to admit that he's out of his fucking mind and do something about this? I mean, if this week hasn't done it ...

There it is lol good luck everyone

Amazing how many people were fired over Kirk for 1/10th of what all these people are saying

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.

thank you for your service.

AOC: “I understand that VP Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, & I do not — That is a fundamental difference between VP Vance & I — I do not believe the American people should be assassinated in the street”

I have to say, as a man with two mothers, I find the derisive deployment of language like "lesbian" and "lover" by those on the far right who are trying to justify Renee Good's death particularly disgusting and dehumanizing. These women. They are wives. They are a family. That's it.

Today, the US President claimed to The NYT that the only limits that exist on his power, in domestic or international matters, are “his own morality.” Where are the elected Democrats? Articles of Impeachment. EVERY. DAY. Rallies. EVERY. DAY. Mourning. EVERY. DAY. Fucking SAY SOMETHING.

Best TikTok thing going is the two dudes trying food from every country without leaving NYC. If you haven’t seen them yet, it’s incredible. My favorite so far is last week’s. Legit got me emotional.

The difference between the Mexican cartels and the country of Venezuela is that the Mexican cartels have a far greater ability to hit back at the United States. For example, they could grab a random American family in Acapulco and murder them brutally just to send a message.

“We’ve tried nothing, and we’re all out of ideas!”

The Trump admin are already hard at work smearing their latest victims.

Ex-Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura: “We’re a 3rd world country now. I know. I’ve been to ‘em. I spent 17 months in SE Asia while the draft dodger was playing golf… that’s what happens in a dictatorship. In comes the military. That’s what’s happening here.” 🇺🇸

impeach him for this, too

Seeing these paramilitary idiots in American city streets is heartbreaking.

* zooms in on "If all Dems/Independents voted no, given absent Republicans, the vote would've failed" *

Democrats will continue to vote for Republican judges (like this guy, who refused to say who won the 2020 election) until Democrats are punished for voting for Republican judges

This is truly terrible. House GOP voted unanimously to approve these two mundane bills. But after Trump vetoed them out of personal pique, the GOP immediately falls in line and votes against overriding the veto. Just a pack of cowards. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

I think the picture of Schumer hugging Rubio made me fully realize that no one is even going to TRY and save us. There is no opposition party. They all are friends.

Amy Klobuchar - a "Senate Democrat" - who is thinking for running for Minnesota's governor (and maybe fancies herself as a Presidential nominee someday) votes for a Trump judicial nominee a day after Trump's ICE murders a woman in her home state.

Like a lot of you, I'm going through a lot of different feelings (on a regular basis) around the ICE shooting yesterday, and my advice continues to be the same every single time: 1) Allow yourself space to feel your feelings, get support, etc. 2) Organize, w/discipline. Links in thread.

“How do we take this from a national scandal to a republic fracturing cataclysm”

Jesse Watters is an awful human.

School has been cancelled tomorrow and Friday across the city of Minneapolis, because our federal government has made it unsafe for children here.

they are monsters. a woman lost her life. a child lost their mother. a person lost their partner. monsters all .
