Murderous federal agents are protected by the trump regime and free to live their lives. But Don Lemon was arrested. There really are no words. It gets worse every day.

the reason DHS officers wear masks is because it allows them to commit crimes with impunity. there is literally no legitimate reason for it.

Bovino’s retirement needs to be a cage. His command environment yielded Renee Good’s death, Alex Pretti’s death & Julio Sosa-Celis’ shooting. Failure to prosecute Bovino & everyone else materially responsible for these atrocities will be understood by ICE, CBP, etc as a green light for the next ones

Democrats that don't support abolishing ICE should be primaried. This isn't difficult.

Abolish ICE is not enough. Stern words for Greg Bovino or Kristi Noem is not enough. We need prosecutions and trials. Anything short of this position fails to address the gravity of this moment.

Before speaking with two armed men at the Pretti vigil last night, a man approached & asked if I was going to tell the truth. I said yes. He told me how frustrated he was at the media & the harm it’s causing to his community. I asked if he wanted to share words for the media on camera, & he did:

mr president sir, im a lifelong conservative and im just wondering which deeply held belief of mine today you would like me to dump in the trash no questions asked to defend your dementia-fueled insanity sir? preferably something ive been incredibly vocal about my entire life

Worse than Kent State, really than any episode I can think of probably dating back to Reconstruc & earlier b/c 1. continuing, not 1 off. 2. organized, not individual ofcrs losing it 3. literally at hand of federal government, which is 4. immediately lying & circling the wagons to prevent inves.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

This is courage. Looking a masked, government fascist dead in the eye, face to face, knowing full well that your life is on the line. If elected officials had 1/10th of Alex Pretti's resolve, we would have far fewer troubles.

Abolish the Republican Party.

Every time Trump breaks the clear letter of the law, the NYT and WaPo write a story about how he’s “pushing boundaries” or “testing the limits of his authority” He's not Chuck Yeager, guys. He's a crook.

the ICE officer calling a woman he just murdered a “fucking bitch” is visceral, but imo the most material new information in the latest video is that she very clearly turns the wheel away from the officer right before it happens

The first time Charlie Chaplin spoke onscreen, he implored the people of the world to resist the rising tide of fascism. Nearly 90 years later, it remains a timely message.

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

Merrick Garland hid this from us for 4 YEARS, and allowed this disgusting monster to be reelected

It is important to promise, now, that whatever Trump builds at the White House will be torn down as soon as he leaves. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/if-he-buil...

I can't stop thinking about the purported drug smugglers being murdered by the US military. The punishment for drug offenses isn't the death penalty. This is just bloodlust and men in suits playing with lives they don't care about. It's truly grotesque and gravely compromises this country.

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful. Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened. This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: PRIMARY EVERY DEMOCRAT WHO BOWS TO TRUMP. The people deserve better and can do better than these cowards.

Between this and the Columbia stuff I hope everyone understands that when you compromise with fascists the result is the same. The only difference in the end is, they got you to contribute to the project of your own annihilation

Watching our petty tyrant of a president scold an until-recent ally for ingratitude is beyond despicable. Zelenskyy is an admirable leader, defending his homeland from an imperial invasion. Trump and Putin are fascists. I feel what the Ukrainian ambassador was feeling here

ChatGPT is down? Huh. Crazy how that doesn't affect my life in literally any way at all

you don't need a phd in right wing extremism to recognize a nazi salute. what the fuck are we doing here.

This stuff is genuinely so dumb. EVEN IF AI skills were useful, or in demand, which they aren't, why would that mean you specifically need to develop them in my specific class on my specific assignments. Take an AI class! Who cares!
