“Why don’t you want to crack down on welfare fraud?” We fucking DID crack down on welfare fraud!!!

The idea that Democrats should ever say that any conservative or Republican anywhere made a good point is stupid and anyone who thinks that should work to improve the oxygen flow to their brain. Stopping the autoerotic asphyxiation thing they're all doing would help.

The Massholes are ready

Its amazing that theyre so far up their own asses that they dont understand that "citizens need to show their papers at any time" is a fucking suicide level of political miscalculation

This dude is intense and correct

I think Democrats should focus on kitchen-table issues Such as whether parents will be shot dead by masked government agents and thus be unable to eat breakfast with their children at the kitchen table anymore

This is the point. It’s against the law to text and drive but I CAN do it quite easily. It’s illegal to break into the White House and start running a shadow government from there, and it’s also essentially impossible for me to do that. Canceling/ignoring elections falls into the second category.

if i want water from the sink, i have to turn on the faucet. if i want to ride my bike, i have to pedal and engage the gears. there is a mechanism. my point is that there is no *mechanism* by which elections can be canceled. it's not about norms, it is about how things work.

This is the only compelling concern for me about 2026. He can’t cancel the election, nor can he alter the outcome.

the question to ask about this is, okay, he wants to cancel the midterms. how does he get the VA state board of elections to cancel the midterms? how does he get the georgia board of elections to do it? how does he convince republican house members to quit their jobs and give up their paychecks?

Dude this is a worse argument than when elected Dems say everything is a distraction from Epstein

Is there a running list of who’s called for ICE’s abolition at this point?

I hope these doomers also learn that the Insurrection Act doesn’t magically cancel elections or give the President any control over them

Republicans have fully equated “protest” and “violent riots” in their mind. Any protest that they don’t have to ignore is an illegal riot.

Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.

These neighborhood signal chats are absolutely crazy right now. You’ve got young activists in there with the most normie folks alive who all just absolutely fucking hate ICE so much. And they are all willing to put their bodies on the line for their communities.

Evelyn Normielib (D-MN) has arrived at the scene of the ICE shooting in northern Minneapolis

Are there any social workers here? Can I ask you some questions through dm? I suspect someone of unethical behavior and elder abuse and want to know his best to follow up to protect him

Man this fucking sucks

But there’s objectively a limit to the amount he can. He doesn’t have infinite ICE agents at his disposal. If he can’t take down Minneapolis he can’t stop the midterms. If he can’t stop the midterms he can’t stop 2028.

Folks, Trump has brought the full force of ICE to bear on a mid-sized city and he can't even stop the demonstrations there. He's not going to be able to cancel the midterm elections by fiat or station his goons outside more than a handful of polling places.

Americans aren't positive on ICE, especially in the wake of increase violence by the federal authority Only Republicans remain positive on the organization, while Independents and Democrats are strongly disapproving Read it for free here: usapolling.substack.com/p/americans-...

now is the time of will stancil

Sounds like the Vice President’s talks went well!

Four migrants die in US ICE custody over first 10 days of 2026 www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

Really wonder what kind of wild fictions people who support this tell themselves.

update: about to swear fealty to this woman at the tenants union meeting

I’m not in love with Gallego and he’s got some stuff on his record that would make me uncomfortable with him being POTUS but he needs to be high up in everyone’s Veepstakes. He’s an innovative communicator and campaigner and he hates the GOP with the fire of a thousand suns.

new york city is Real America. los angeles is Real America. chicago is Real America. minneapolis is Real America. seattle, portland, detroit etc etc. sick of this framing that it's otherwise. shut the fuck up

Democrats: we need to come up with the perfect sentence that combines affordability, ICE raids, Epstein, and needless wars and repeat that sentence for 10 months. Republicans: Why Democrats Protest Good Guys But Not Bad Guys? The electorate: yeah we like Democrats 4% more than Republicans I guess

Lmfao All I can do is throw up my hands at this point but it’s so darkly funny that the one moment this century when people were like HELL YEAH IM A REPUBLICAN was when we needed to crush Republicans to save this country.

Jerome Powell? Who’s that? I only know Businessman President

Those Republican and Independent numbers are wild honestly.

Oh. My. God.

"organized gangs of wine moms us[ing] Antifa tactics" should be a genre this could be the next heated rivalry

One of my resolutions this year was to post about non-politics stuff and obviously I’ve flopped at that so far given everything But can I just say I’m LOVING #thetraitorsus so far? Really good idea to pick no gamers for traitors.

BREAKING: Massive Crowds of Anti-ICE protesters in Minneapolis, Minnesota as we speak. The tide is turning. America is Fed Up. Americans should be fighting back against what is happening in this country. Having masked, secret police shooting people, breaking into homes and cars, is NOT normal.

The Timberwolves’ moment of silence video gives me chills every time I watch it. This will not last forever.

Very important read/listen in light of the occupation of Minneapolis. Really contextualizes the place we’re in and helped me understand why the administration insists on pushing such obviously untrue stories about how and why Renee Good died.

WSJ investigation: In the past 6 months ICE agents have fired at vehicles 13 times, leading to: * 8 people shot * 5 of which were U.S. citizens * 2 died * no victims drew a weapon The playbook: Agents box in a vehicle, block attempts to flee, then fire www.wsj.com/us-news/vide...

an american city is fully under siege by an occupying army that is supposedly an arm of its own government that army has already shot someone dead and is repeatedly threatening to do the same to anyone upset about its actions intolerable situation

This is so insane man

Philadelphia Sheriff Rochelle Bilal warns ICE: "No law enforcement professional wears a mask... Those that come into our communities wearing a mask to commit crime... You getting arrested". "Fake wannabe law enforcement... The criminal in the WH will not be able to keep you from going to jail".

We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.

This is kinda killing me @sharonk.bsky.social

For a literal decade the official CBP policy has been “don’t stand in front of or behind vehicles” because the decade before that their internally commissioned studies found that agents were putting themselves in front of vehicles so as to shoot the occupants

Things I miss from the before times: searching for songs to maladaptive daydream about crushes I had instead of about the end of this regime

The tragic death of Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year old mother fatally shot by ICE, shows that ICE can’t be reformed and must be abolished. I’ll be introducing the Abolish ICE Act as a step toward justice, accountability, and humanity in our immigration policy. Time to melt ICE.
