President Diarrhea

It is true every day, but days like today just are huge reminders that for all it's many and varied faults this country was always great and it deserves better than what it's political branches give it in return

Almost like we founded the entire country on opposing this exact sentence.

A foundational truth of this republic is it has no king.

FUCK ICE FOREVER

Community pooled their money to pay for her green card—then ICE locked her up in a private prison instead. Agents detained her when she showed up for final green card appointment—a process that lasted years & cost $16,009. Family was waiting at her house planning to celebrate over bowls of Pozole.

"[A]gents engulfed my car in tear gas, smashed my driver-side window, and pepper-sprayed my face.... I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. No explanation. No charges. No apology. One day, I was just told, 'you’re free to go.'" #KavanaughStop

I don’t think that the United States military murdering Venezuelans at sea is getting anywhere near the attention it should

"Armed federal agents in military fatigues busted down their doors overnight, pulling men, women and children from their apartments, some of them naked, residents and witnesses said." www.wbez.org/immigration/...

I know that October is for horror movies, but Criterion Channel just put out a Hong Kong Action Classics list and ... my god

In a sane country with competent leadership, the 50 highest-ranking Democrats would call a press conference to denounce what just happened as a threat to the republic and demand Trump's immediate impeachment and removal from office. I don't know he could make his intentions more clear.

JUST IN: President Trump has told top U.S. commanders that the military would be used against "enemy within."

I fully understand how difficult it is to remain focused on any one particular atrocity but this really ought to be a serious scandal and people need to pay heavy prices for this

Trump posting an AI video of himself promising something that doesn’t exist should get the full failing Biden front page treatment but we know it won’t.

Portland declares ICE facility out of compliance, demands its clearance. www.portland.gov/mayor/keith-...

There is no argument against birthright citizenship other than “I am incredibly racist and don’t like it” It is clearly and simply spelled out in the 14th amendment - if you are born here, you are an American citizen.

Expect any non-citizen (for now) in any position of power to be harassed and abused on pretext by the secret police.

This is an infuriating and shameful scandal. The Roberts Court is condoning Trump’s law breaking, again, pure and simple. There is no serious path forward for democratic government without Supreme Court reform.

It’s past time for Democrats to launch a serious perjury investigation into Emil Bove, who very clearly lied before Congress (unlike James Comey) to cover up his own egregious, unlawful misconduct (unlike Comey). His robes should not shield him from consequences for his brazen law-breaking.

Lemme be absolutely clear *every* H-1B visa employee at my (large cap) US firm was summoned back to the office from wherever they were in the world today for this crap. For some, it was utter panic. Appalling.

if Jimmy Kimmel's political humor is too hot for you to handle, I'm not sure "snowflake" even cuts it as a term of derision for the level of fragility you've achieved

If only there were a name for anti-anti-fascists.

One pretty foolproof way to know your government is fascist is when your government tries to punish you for calling it fascist.

Coworker: I don't think I've ever seen a Robert Redford movie Me: What!?! Coworker: I mentioned that to <other coworker> and she said "Who's Robert Redford?" Me: I have to go lie down

(Trump imposes martial law on a conquered nation, speaking from the smoking ruins of a Planned Parenthood while drinking Diet Coke out of a liberal professor's skull) Schumer: We look forward to sending the president our ideas for a tax rebate on home security systems and debating them at length.

How dare you call us fascists! Just for that, we're going to crack down on the liberal opposition groups!

Just thinking about how the right made up an entirely fictional left wing character that resulted in so many bomb threats and the like and nobody will face consequences. But people on the left who accurately clocked the victim’s life work lost jobs.

This is shaping up to have some real "the revolution eats its young" vibes.

Eric Schmitt can eat shit

Folks, there's no law in the world that authorizes the president of the United States to intentionally kill refugees going from one foreign country to another. That's just murder.

So Hegseth’s missiles were fired at a boat: ✅ they had no idea where it was going ✅ they had no idea who was on it ✅ they had no established authority to act ✅ but definitely wanted to murder whoever was on it Everyone involved should rot in prison forever

In a minimally functioning democracy, the defense minister has already resigned & parliament is now debating the vote of no confidence in the prime minister. Alas, presidentialism was a grave mistake & impeachment a useless method accountability for the chief executive.

Trump killed some guys out in the ocean with no due process. This is generally referred to as murder. It would be nice if the press would mention this.

I like Andor, but Ghorman reminds me of one of those old Star Trek planets where everybody is a '30s gangster

It’s not just that the President of the United States posted a video of eleven people being murdered in international waters it’s that the President of the United States ordered the murder of eleven people in international waters so he could post a video of it.

When you die and go to heaven, all the restaurants that closed and made you sad are there. And all the food that you asked to get boxed up and forgot to take home is in your fridge.

Did something happen or is everyone just drunk

“Kennedy would be less hazardous if he decided to do cardiac surgery. Then he would kill people only one at a time rather than his current ability to kill by the thousands. Why is it that killing a single person is seen as murder but killing masses is excused if you are a politician?” Dr Bill Foege

It's time to remove Robert F. Kennedy Jr from government before he kills us all

Having Hakeem Jeffries in a position of leadership in this moment is like intentionally having an alarm clock that doesn’t actually wake you up.

We just got through an election where voters told us they voted on egg prices and thinking Biden was President in 2020 and people are arguing Dems lose because of “Latinx” and let me tell you that’s the most online stupid fucking shit I’ve ever heard in my life.

it will take years to undo the damage from this lawless, criminal conduct. business as usual once Democrats reclaim executive power will unacceptable. no turning the page without repairing the damage

Elizabeth Warren: "The one thing I want to remind everyone is when Democrats get in power again -- and we will -- we've got to change the rules. We've got to change the rules on the impact of money in politics and we've got to pass the voting rights act again and make sure there is true protection."
