"Give us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to be free..."

“In 2029 we will rebuild the White House as it was, and pay for it by seizing the assets of the Trump family.”

Also, Trump said that he eradicated ISIS in 2024. You're saying he didn't tell us the truth? Just wow...

Proud of Indiana for standing up and doing the right thing. Whine away, Loser POTUS. We are onto you.

The executive can't command states to do anything

Good God

Exactly where are their headquarters? Oh wait...we know ARLINGTON CEMETERY

Seems that there's no real economic reason to close our doors to refugees, so whatever could the underlying rationale of current US anti-refugee policy be? www.wsj.com/economy/immi...

the defensiveness and incredulity of a good chunk of the commentary class toward arguments about trump’s racism is, imho, downstream of the same impulse behind the endless trump voter safaris and self-flagellation about being out of touch with the heartland

“We are targeting Venezuela because of DRUGS, not OIL, which is why we are blowing up boats without any drugs and stealing a tanker full of oil.”

“I told them their kids get two dolls max”

something you have to understand about Trump & his weird comments about the economy is that the dude hasn't paid for anything like a normal person in decades - never pumps gas, never buys groceries - so he's completely & utterly out of touch with what life is like for most of us

I just got back from the grocery store and eggs are $5.29 a doz. The coffee I used to buy for $8.99 is now $25.99. This man is clueless (and obviously doesn't care enough to educate himself).

BREAKING: We’re suing the Trump administration to demand they release the secret memo they claim justifies their illegal strikes on civilians at sea. Transparency must come immediately — while there’s still an opportunity to stop this cruel and unconstitutional bombing campaign.

How many of us truly understand that the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 was part of the civil rights movement?

the birthright clause was not just written to wipe dred scott off of the books, it was written to repudiate the *idea* behind dred scott, you might say the larger *ideological project* of dred scott. and the whole of section 1 of the 14th amendment is a constitutional statement of political equality

This is so racist it needs a new category of racism to describe it but it's also stupid and pointless. You simply cannot purge the celebration of Black people and their accomplishments from this country in favor of celebrations of a dying pedophile. It's literally not a thing he's capable of doing.

It starts with knowing the truth. Don’t allow yourselves to be gaslit into believing this is a real question.

#OTD in 1965 the 13th Amendment ended slavery, but with a loophole; slavery was allowed as punishment for a crime. This marked the beginning of mass incarceration and the systemic oppression of Black people that persists today. Understanding this history is crucial to dismantling the system.

I mean, do we talk enough about how deranged this person is—and how he should be miles away from the levers of power?

What? A Trump supporter? Moved to violence by the president's conspiracy theories? Well, I never.

Also notable that the presence of drugs was not substantiated by any evidence and the so-called ‘narco terrorists’ were not formally charged, indicted, or tried. In other words, no due process. No accountability. It’s murder.

Ritual humiliation is a MAGA fetish.

Waiting for the “critics say this was bigoted” in the top of the hour newscast.

EVERYBODY.

Exclusive: The four-star admiral in charge of Caribbean operations had concerns about the legality of the boat strikes. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth asked him to retire shortly after they started.

Incredible optics here, really underscores it all.

Really appreciate the clarity of the president saying black people are ruining the country and this entire room of groveling empty suits saying nothing bsky.app/profile/just...

This is racist and dangerous. Last I checked, Somalians are Black and Rep. Omar is a colleague. Where are the @housedemocrats.bsky.social? The @blackcaucus.bsky.social ? Do not allow these insults to go unanswered.

ALERT: At US House Homeland Security Committee about violence against law enforcement, Democrats have put the January 6th plaque on a stand behind the Democratic members of panel (House leadership has declined to hang the plaque at Capitol by mandated 2023 deadline)

"This explains why the administration refuses to declassify the memo...If the public saw how flimsy the legal footing is, they’d see the president is using wartime powers he does not have to kill civilians he cannot legally target..." open.substack.com/pub/defiance...

In Donald Trump’s America, you can be a lying, corrupt politician or corporate goon and count on a pardon. But if you’re a hardworking immigrant who’s done nothing wrong, you can expect to be harassed and beaten by masked thugs enforcing this administration’s vile immigration policies. Shameful.

The worst part about the boat strikes - regardless of who ordered what and besides the ultimate tragedy of lives lost - is they’re forever a stain on the dignity of the United States military. That's why the military has the right to refuse illegal orders. Illegal orders could ruin the military.

There have been at least 19 murders in D.C. since Trump deployed the National Guard here in August. One was the murder of a Guard soldier less than a week ago.

This letter needs to be widely circulated. I have this horrible nagging feeling that (since no evidence to the contrary has been provided), the US is just flat-out murdering fishermen and -women.

For some reason Democratic leaders seem to prefer telling voters what they won’t be able to do, rather than what they’d like to do. If Hegseth ordered a war crime and lied about it, shouldn’t Ds try for impeachment? Put Rs on the spot. They might get a few defections. www.axios.com/2025/12/01/j...

“We don’t need burdensome rules of engagement…” ?!?!?!?

“It’s the Christmas season and the Secretary of Defense took a beloved children’s character and depicted him blowing up drug smugglers. You have to look at that and wonder: What the hell is wrong with these people?” — Tom Nichols @radiofreetom.bsky.social

Well, this is exhibit number one in any lawsuit challenging a new travel ban on unconstitutional animus grounds.

🔥 BREAKING: A spokesperson for Kids Can Press, the publisher of the Franklin the Turtle books, messaged me today about Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth using the likeness and image from the books to make light of killings in the Caribbean in his post yesterday on X.

Mark Kelly on the Trump/Hegseth boat strikes: "If orders are illegal, not only do they not have to follow them, they are legally required not to follow them."

I'm really glad to see someone like Kelly finally saying this. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Indeed.
