So far, I am only seeing TPM, Mediaite, and Daily Beast focusing on this. We live in a world where the president calling an ethnic group "very low IQ" and "bad for our country" while insisting they "ought to get the hell out of here" barely makes headlines. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/trump-m...

Federal agents are pulling over off duty cops based on the color of their skin. This is not a serious operation to enforce immigration law. It’s a performative show of force and it’s gotten way out of hand.

A reminder how ICE treats priests.

It's not debatable that a mentally disturbed person has the nuclear codes. The Republicans know they're endangering us all by leaving him in office. This is a betrayal of every person on Earth. It is a crime against humanity.

Even though PBS and NPR are still in existence, President Donald Trump said Tuesday that he “heard they’re closed up.” 🧵

Trump in his inaugural address: I will stop all government censorship and bring back free speech to America. 🧐

Homan: "Let's make it clear: ICE can detain a US citizen if they have probable cause that this person may have committed a crime. A short detainment and questioning, all you need is reasonable suspicion."

Hmmm.

Ummm, what's happening?

Homan: "ICE arrests US citizens every day"

He's only going to get worse. And faster.

“It is sickening that ICE is using this flawed app and unacceptable invasion of biometric privacy to supposedly determine whether someone is undocumented and deport them or even worse,” EFF’s @cooperq.com told @404Media.co. www.404media.co/ices-facial...

Tesla tells customers ‘one-time’ FSD transfer ends this quarter, but we’ve heard that before

it seems too obvious to even keep pointing it out but if you have ever had experience with an elder relative sliding into dementia you are familiar with the ways they repeat the same nonsensical anecdotes

What's remarkable is not just that Trump is so loathsome and narcissistic that he doesn't care when an innocent woman is killed in a protest unless and until he finds out that her dad was a fan of his ... it's that he's so disregulated he *can't help but say so out loud*.

Over the last few days, ferocious wildfires in Chile have left behind large burn scars of scorched land.

Home insurance rates are up, and Big Oil should pay. If the people of Hawai’i are left to bear the costs of climate disasters, "then we should allow the attorney general’s office to go and seek reimbursement from the companies that [are causing] these disasters,” said Senator Jarrett Keohokalole.

Where we are: "... Military planners are modelling a U.S. invasion from the south, expecting American forces to overcome Canada’s strategic positions on land and at sea within a week and possibly as quickly as two days." Such an order is still seen as unlikely, the officials add.

“We have a lot of heart, I said you gotta lighten up on this”🤔 Trump says ICE is focused on criminals, murderers — while being lenient on farm and hotel workers, etc. Um, maybe he should tell Stephen Miller, Bovino, ICE? Because that ain’t what’s happening.

Trump offers effusive words of praise for an organized crime syndicate specialized in drug sales and protection rackets—a perfect social model.

Yet again, markets say the US is hurting no one but itself. US stocks are down more on a percentage basis than (most) of the rest of the world today:

The administration has weaponized cognitive dissonance. They want us to believe America is in a new golden age and that we're all rich from tariffs and prices dropping - while also telling us we can get by on three bucks a meal. And a not-small number of folks believe it.

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com One year ago, President Trump took an oath to serve the American people. Instead, he used the presidency to enrich himself, the @nytimes editorial board writes. This is how Trump has pocketed at least $1.4 billion.

“Supreme Court Rules, Supreme Court Rules”

Sherrill: "We see a POTUS illegally usurping power. He's unconstitutionally enacted a tariff regime to make billions for himself while everyone else's costs go higher. Here we demand people in public service actually serve the public instead of extorting money to benefit themselves & their cronies."

“A rupture” American Brexit. An own goal of epic proportions, strengthening only those who want to see us fall.

Trump amplifies post that says NATO — not China or Russia — is part of the “real threat” to America.

With the rise of cheap consumer drones, some activists and protesters have used them to film law enforcement and to document police abuse. This no fly zone criminalizes that activity, further cracking down on the tactics protesters can use to keep people safe or film ICE brutality.
