Just saying, but when people are trying to do everything they can to prevent you from voting, that’s when you absolutely need to vote. Ready to make this the biggest midterm turnout in history?

Former ICE lawyer Ryan Schwank: “I received secretive orders to teach new cadets to violate the Constitution.”

Felony sex crimes = “drew controversy.”

The reason it's so difficult to get accurate information about the ICE detention facilities is because we live in a fascist dictatorship and those are concentration camps meant for people to die in

Something I think about often is, if a Democrat said this today, it would've been a hot mic moment and they'd have to apologize and say it was out of context. FDR said it at Madison Square Garden, 3 days before a presidential election

I KNEW something had changed. These new ICE cadets are TAUGHT how to violate the Constitution. A huge (& important) part of the coursework was removed from from training. It’s on purpose. Usually, ICE agents are taught the US Constitution, laws, about firearms, etc. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS #Pinks

BREAKING Former ICE agent: On my first day training new cadets, I received secretive orders to teach them to violate the Constitution by entering homes without a judicial warrant.

This is simply one of the best pieces of political communications in history.

“When I was president, I suppose I could have simply unilaterally ordered the military to go into some red state and harass and intimidate a governor there or cut off funding for states that didn't vote for me... but that is contrary to how I think our democracy is supposed to work.”

I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.

Nicer concentration camps and more cordial Klansmen with badges is a dumb fucking argument.

The reality is America is a huge multicultural multilingual country, not a white ethnostate, and venomous white supremacist MAGA crybabies lose it whenever that reality becomes unignorable. We should always seek to increase, not decrease, their discomfort. www.the-reframe.com/hating-the-g...

@ruthbenghiat.bsky.social nails it: "I have seen this brand of strongman megalomania and the adverse effects it can ultimately have on leaders and their governments. I call it autocratic backfire. … {gift link} www.nytimes.com/2026/02/01/o...

Whenever you see a story about how liberals aren't making their conservative peers feel welcome enough, this is who they're talking about.

This is an impeachable statement. It should be a career-ending scandal to avoid a question, especially one of grave import and consequence, by claiming ignorance about the most basic fundamental aspect of your job.

DHS recruitment poster - The slogan “We’ll Have Our Home Again,” is also the title of a song written by white nationalists and embraced by groups like the Proud Boys. Those who lurked in dark corners of the internet are now government employees with guns. ICE must go. The people must demand it.

It's so crazy to see so many politicians running terrified away from even hinting at saying this very simple, very obvious, extremely popular thing, which also happens to be a clear moral imperative.

The starving crocodiles that have been released onto this ship full of children need better training, proper monitoring, and also must cease any unnecessary eating NOW. No children on the lido deck or 1st class should EVER be consumed. That's why I'm voting an additional $44B for crocodiles.

“The very first rubber dick to touch government-issued leather boots triggered a full-blown chemical weapons response.”

The history books covering this period of American history are going to be FASCINATING.

Remember videos of people in camps protesting and rioting? Even if Bovino is out, even if somehow Noem and Miller are forced to resign (still a longshot) people are still being brutalized. It's not about a few figureheads. It's about the wider system.

I just hope that the Melania movie explores her layer.

They're retreating. It's time to advance. Resignations, prosecutions. Motherfucking tribunals.

Let him never know a moment’s peace.

Yeah, there's a purity test. It is DENAZIFY THE FUCKING COUNTRY and legally dismantle ANY fucking institutions remaining capable of renazifying it, including ANYone with a D by their name too much of a compromised assclown to pull the lever. Christ, this isn't hard. They're fucking murdering people.

Repeat after me - the institutions of this economy depend on the institutions of this democracy, among which is the rule of law

Democratic leadership is terrified of being seen on the side of the people of Minneapolis, least they lose the potential future support of pro-cop people whose support they do not and never will have.

Their votes will ID them. I will persuade them (and the leaders that wouldn't whip their votes) that they are going to lose their jobs, and I will do that by contributing to their primary challengers for the rest of their hopefully short careers.

This is important to us because what’s happening right now in Congress could permanently change protections for a beloved wilderness area. With everything else going on, this quietly moved forward while most people weren’t paying attention and it should concern all of us.

I feel bad for all of us who have to be good at our jobs when the answer is to be sufficiently white, rich and powerful and then you can just drool on yourself and the press will be like “audiences intrigued by his unusual communication style”

Mafia goon: Nice house you got here...it'd be a shame if something happened to it Media outlets: Mafia goon rules out use of force. Expresses regret at the mere thought of it

OLD LADY BEING MUGGED BY ARYAN BROTHERHOOD GOONS: Help! Nazis are beating me up! DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP SPIDER-MAN: There are nuances to this circumstance so, first, let's all just tone down the extreme language and talk about proper training.

If you know or see American neo-nazi Jonathan Ross at any point in time, a good thing to tell him is there is no statute of limitations on murder and he will die in prison.

This is the post that opened my eyes & all others by Sarah Kendzior @sarahkendzior.bsky.social & she has always been right y’all. This was and still is great advice in thd times we are in and facing in the future. She knew and still knows . She has a PhD in all this shit we’re going through and

I keep seeing people spiral into rabbit holes about this guy. Donald Trump is not a mastermind. He is not bright. He has no overarching plan of dominance. He is a lizard, reacting to stimuli from people in his inner circle or in the news. To find the reason he did X, find the advisor who likes it.

Hope.

This gives me the most hope I have had in months and I am watching Minneapolitans for best practices on how to be a good citizen and a good neighbor when the nazi pricks come here. Not one moment of peace. Not as long as a gossamer flicker of hope remains that we are a free people.

Trump thinks that if he attacks enough countries and invades enough cities he will be a shoo-in for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize.

No money to fund the war on all of us.

Tar and feathers and early retirement for any Democrat who wants to see the army waging war against US citizens get better training.

Try: "We'll have the president and his cabinet arrested. We'll eradicate ICE, raze their buildings to the ground, salt the earth, sell their equipment and use the money on schools. We'll set up a tribunal to bring justice to these fuckers, and we'll crush the billionaires that stole all your money."

These aren't normal times for politics, but even if they were, it's so clear that Democrats either don't know how to do politics or don't want to. Their position on the board is "the president is hated and his goon forces are despised" and they seem at wit's end how to message from that position.
