Pew Research Institute (2023): • Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants • Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants • Blue State Minnesota has 130,000. And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration." It's *not* about immigration.

It stopped being about conservatism years ago.

Over 200K Danish citizens signed a petition to buy California as a response to the orange felon’s hunt for Greenland. The petition states that they’ll provide Californians with universal health care, fact-based politics, rule of law, lifetime supply of Danish pastries. Love it.

The president's threat to impose tariffs on countries that oppose his desire to acquire Greenland shows that he does not see tariffs as an economic tool to help America, but as a weapon to hurt his enemies. That's the fundamental nature of his entire presidency.

I can't repeat this enough.

Ask yourself: If Donald Trump was intentionally trying to destroy the United States, how could you tell the difference?

Money that could have gone to healthcare or education is going to an armed militia

She told us exactly how this would happen. So why the hell didn’t we listen to Hannah Arendt?

In the time of Trump, “Don’t take the bait” is a rule that’s almost as important as “Do not obey in advance.” open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Canadians must feel like they're living above a meth lab.

The far right is pissed because they're being judged by the content of their character rather than by the color of their skin. [stolen from FB]

Civilians have had apparent seizures. One had his eyes roll back. Another had ribs broken. “I felt like I was going to pass out and die,” said a 16-year-old citizen put in a chokehold by an immigration agent. Here's what we found:

The letter from Bill and Hillary Clinton to James Comer explaining their refusal to testify in his Epstein investigation is really remarkable, not like any letter of this genre I've seen. It's signed by them, not a lawyer, and the arguments are not legal ones. Reprinted from their X account:

We just want to see the #EpsteinFiles.

The article appears to be partly paywalled and I would encourage anyone who can afford it to subscribe, Slate's got a hell of a sale going right now and subscriptions are how they can afford to pay freelancers for articles like this one For my fellow brokies, though:

Trump said he regrets not seizing voting machines after the 2020 election. Anyone claiming authoritarians don’t want elections is missing the point. They want elections. They just don’t want fair elections. This was an admission that Trump will cheat if he gets the chance.

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

In 1964, the Civil Rights Act was passed to bar discrimination based on race. In 1973, Donald Trump & his father were sued by the DOJ for refusing to rent apartments to black people. Civil Rights came into being to stop racist assholes like the Trumps, not to discriminate against white people.

“Do you believe deadly force was necessary?” TRUMP: “They were highly disrespectful of law enforcement.” Apparently being disrespectful is punishable by death now

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com “President Trump is putting on a clinic about how to break the United States,” our columnist David French writes.

Finer: Their tactic is to make an announcement, grab a near-term headline, claim a big victory, and then, if it doesn’t quite pan out, people’s attention has moved on and nobody is really going to hold them to what they’ve claimed.

The Church Committee's investigation into the crimes of the intelligence community is about as good a model as we have for the kind of investigation into the crimes of ICE and other agencies. This is really a must-read for understanding our own moment.

“A government actively demanding escalation and a mass influx of bottom-of-the-barrel recruits: Things will only get worse. A terrorizing force of goons who are both drunken on the power the regime has given them, but also perpetually insecure, frustrated, and aggrieved.”

They’re given their talking points from Dear Leader, and just regurgitate them regardless of the questions asked.

We have cleaned up the crime scene and blocked a local investigation and hidden the perpetrator and invaded the state and that is how you know that we are acting in good faith and that everything was the victim’s fault. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

- If nothing happens to Donald Trump as a result of the Epstein Files, then the Epstein Files will forever be regarded as a nothingburger by Trump & his MAGA enablers. - See also: the Steele Dossier, the Mueller Report, the two impeachments, the January 6th Commission & the 34 felony convictions.

Orwell saw this.... and now we do, too.

Every word of this…. It’s about what America stands for. www.facebook.com/photo.php?fb...

I can't believe I'm posting this video - but we actually have to have a conversation about the real world implications of America going to war over Greenland. Let me walk you through it. It doesn't turn out well for us.

People need to start considering at least the possibility that the last free and fair American election already happened and that no more of them lie ahead of us If you are not at least considering that possibility there is a good deal of modern history you need to re-read ASAP

If the capitol police reacted on Jan 6 the way ICE did in this encounter there would have been dozens dead

Truth here: "The evil among us are the minority. They always have been. They always will be. This is not hope. This is mathematics. This is documentation. This is truth."

Blue Cross had refused to pay thousands of claims for the center’s patients, but on several occasions executives at the insurance company had signed special one-time deals with the center to pay for their wives’ cancer treatment. (Published April 2025)

The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same
