Bingo! Why did Trump pardon the former Honduran president? Follow the Tech Bros. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Bingo

Why would the Trump administration, which is hell bent on punishing drug traffickers, pardon a kingpin like Juan Orlando Hernández? Short answer: To appease the tech bros of Silicon Valley.

Trump’s pardon promise offers yet another life to Honduras’ imprisoned ex-president

Having friends like Thiel, Andreesen, and the other partners in Pronomos probably didn’t hurt his chances for a pardon.

Donald Trump orders purported Venezuelan drug boats blown up, yet pardons a former Honduran president convicted of drug trafficking. Try to make sense of this.

The President of the United States just called for my arrest and execution. In these moments, fear is contagious, but so is courage:

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted. If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

Your regular reminder that we desperately need to overturn Citizens United and get big money out of politics. It is among the worst Supreme Court decisions in history. It corrupts our political system every day.

In exchange for what?? Mystery donor gives Pentagon $130 million to help pay troops thehill.com/policy/defen...

Over the past week, the president said the DOJ should pay him a quarter billion dollars, bulldozed half the White House to build himself a gaudy ballroom, bragged about murdering civilians in international waters, pardoned some more criminals, directed federal prosecutors to indict his opponents ...

"Coercive control is unstable . . . because it doesn't rely on legitimate authority" Thank you @Rep_Stansbury for offering a glimmer of hope within a trenchant analysis

During a gov shutdown the US can send OUR tax payer money to Argentina and we don’t have money for US healthcare or Federal Workers. This SHOULD have been a hot topic as this is clearly NOT AMERICA FIRST. I will be adding this at #NoKINGS #UsGovermentShutDown #UsHealthcarePremiums #UsFarmWorkers

This is a breathtaking abuse of the law and power by the President of the United States. America is on the brink of martial law. Do not be silent.

It’s even less responsible for a Republican president to be starting one.

Statement from Illinois Governor JB Pritzker

This is a crime. The Supreme Court has foolishly decided that Trump can commit crimes with impunity, but that is NOT true of anyone who works for him. Stephen Miller, Hegseth, Noem and anyone else who declares war on the US and our Constitution must not be let off the hook. Two years in prison

Here's the #TrumpRiviera plan, aka The GREAT Trust. It calls for massive relocation of Palestinians, a free trade zone with set asides for Elon Musk & Trump, a digital ID system to obtain services, and an indefinite presence for itself in Gaza. And more www.washingtonpost.com/documents/f8...

“This is about the President of the United States and his complicit lackey, Stephen Miller, searching for ways to lay the groundwork to circumvent our democracy, militarize our cities, and end elections.” – Gov. J.B. Pritzker

SPLENDID PARODY OF THE PEDO-IN-CHIEF'S MORONICALLY DERANGED STYLE OF POSTING, DESPITE THE MISSED OPPORTUNITY OF REFERRING TO HIM AS DONALD CHUMP, GOVERNOR NEWSCUM. 4/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐

@TodayInTabs nails the reason why fools fall in love (with AI): “humanity has never before experienced coherent language without any cognition driving it.” www.todayintabs.com/p/we-need-to...

The FCC "is now imposing never-before-seen controls over newsroom decisions and editorial judgment, in direct violation of the First Amendment and the law," said dissenting FCC commissioner about the arm-twisting behind Paramount-Skydance merger www.morningstar.com/news/marketw...

In 1997, a strange book called "The Sovereign Individual" predicted that technology would kill jobs, nation-states would collapse, and billionaires would use “cyber currency” to escape democracy. Peter Thiel took it seriously. Should we? Watch the Short: www.youtube.com/shorts/_RDq2...

So am I reading this court decision correctly? We now have 50 micronations with their own laws interpreting the U.S. Constitution wholly separate from one another? But there's one guy with private law enforcement who is immune from all punishment who can do whatever he wants in those 50 states?

HUGELY Important.

Of course, Kristi's not here to "liberate" LA. LA was liberated before she got here, and that's what scares her.

Kristi Noem said she is in LA to "liberate" it from "socialists," governor, and mayor. No wonder Sen. Padilla was speaking out when they ejected him. www.mediaite.com/media/tv/kri...

By now, we've all seen the video of Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) being forcibly removed and handcuffed for asking a question during Kristi Noem's press conference. But what Noem said just moments before the video was taken is "classic authoritarian red-baiting," points out @davidcorn.bsky.social.

What reason would the Secretary of Homeland Security have to suggest that they can remove the leaders Californians ELECTED?!?! They are using our state as a testing ground for their authoritarian fantasies.

Seth gets it

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

SF Chronicle reports DHS secretary Noem asked SoD Hegseth for “logistical support and the transportation of munitions” in Los Angeles in leaked letter www.sfchronicle.com/us-world/art...

Andrew Yang either has amnesia or such poor judgement he doesn't deserve public office. No doubt Elon sees right through his craven pitch for $. We've all seen how that works out. www.politico.com/news/magazin...

So they have enough diplomatic juice for Bukele to gleefully offer up gulag services but not enough to get back the people they illegally renditioned there? Girl, Biden got Brittney Griner out of enemy *Russia* and you can't get your little friend to the south to undo your oopsies? Weaksauce.
