Important

Things to do in the future: 1. Putting them all on trial for crimes against humanity at the Hague 2. Totally reforming entire government to root out corruption and abuse of power so this bullshit never happens again 3. At some point you’d imagine, brunch

Chris Christie: “Thie is no longer, the Department of Justice, is no longer the premier prosecuting office in America. What it is now is a capo regime who goes out and executes hits when directed by the Don to do so. That’s what it is.”

DEVELOPING: ICE agents pulled a U.S. citizen out of her car at gunpoint — after crashing into her vehicle. They dragged her across the pavement and held her in detention for hours. Her brother says she’d just recovered from surgery. America is in a human rights crisis.

New, from me: Trump's 3 step plan to create a military omniforce 1. Purge - those deemed disloyal 2. Merge - different parts of law enforcement/military 3. Surge - impose the omniforce on Dem cities; instigate unrest; assert dominance; silence dissent donmoynihan.substack.com/p/purge-merg...

Welcome to America, where peaceful protesters get tear-gassed and thrown to the ground like ragdolls.

VAMPIRE complex intercepted a Russian cruise missile.It’s usually used against drones,but Ukrainian Defenders managed to intercept a missile using it,as well VAMPIRE-portable complex that can be mounted on most cargo-carrying vehicles to launch low-cost APKWS missiles or other laser-guided munitions

🚨 Do ICE have MRE provisions? Oh, no. That’s a damn shame. All that income and no place to buy a meal. Hey, I know what they can eat… 1/2

WAKE UP, AMERICA!

Ciao Paolo. È una serata triste, tristissima. Se ne va un grande della meteorologia, se ne va uno dei miei punti di riferimento di quando ero giovane, se ne va un uomo preparato, mai banale e pieno di garbo.

Oh this is not great

Chicago PD: arrest these motherfuckers threatening civilians. Put them in jail. Let the courts sort it out

Pritzker: "He said he was going after the worst of the worst. It's not going after the worst of the worst when you're just literally stopping children who happen to be brown & asking them for papers as if they're gonna have proof they're a citizen. Pull out your phones and film everything you see"

"The president has already announced that if a judge does rule against him, he will invoke the Insurrection Act and then continue the military deployments. This is where we’ve been headed since January 6, 2021.”

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Thanks, New Yorker

Pam Bondi admits she spoke to Apple to "get the ICEBlock app taken down." Sounds an awful lot like coercion to suppress disfavored speech to me. A clear violation of the 1st Amendment.

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece. It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out. 1/2

I'm so sick of the casualness of their constant lying.

PAY ATTENTION: ICE is filing fake 911 calls in Chicago, weaponizing emergency services to provoke local police. Ordinary citizens would be charged with a felony. ICE calls it strategy.

Narrator: This is fascism.

Hell of a thing to put next to a statue of Joan of Arc. (h/t David Pilling)

Abbott egged on the Jade Helm conspiracists, who claimed that a military training operation was actually Obama invading the state of Texas. Now a U.S. president is deploying Texas troops to other states to dominate and intimidate those states, and Abbott is complicit.

Harmeet Dhillon (DOJ) publicly targeted this judge on Twitter a couple weeks ago.

This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.

They still haven’t found all the missing children from the floods. Why are they more worried about Illinois than about the children in Texas?

behold the bold and brave washington post opinion section (under new management), lol

The president said, in a televised speech, that he's sending his new, less restrained, more violent military into US cities to practice their brutality on immigrants and minorities, to better train them to apply that brutality to other countries. He said this out loud.

That’s all

Renewables are a masterclass in learning-by-doing. Each doubling of deployment cuts costs via experience curves: better manufacturing, finance & supply chains. Result: Solar now cheapest new power in many regions Falling battery costs enable flexibility Electrification gets more attractive

The president just gathered the highest ranking officers in the military to tell them that he may order them to kill American citizens -- and that they better follow his orders. All in response to a series of crises that have no basis in reality. I don't know how to yell any louder.

Another violent attack by an ICE officer on a civilian at 26 Federal Plaza—this time on a journalist, who had to be carried out on stretcher. Another attack on the First Amendment, our neighbors, and our democracy.

‼️ Mass killings of Ukrainians in Bucha: The Sunday Times has named 13 Russian officers responsible for war crimes. "In those 29 days in early 2022, they committed such atrocities that this Ukrainian city will forever become synonymous with war crimes," the article says.

TAPPER: As a constitutional attorney & Speaker, do you think it's acceptable for any POTUS to publicly instruct their AG to prosecute their political opponent and go as far as firing a US attorney if they don't bring charges? JOHNSON: A grand jury voted to indict Comey. That's how our system works

Sergio Leone directs Clint Eastwood on location in the Rambla Otero, Las Salinas, Almería, on the set of "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" (1964)

When our federal judges are more afraid of being overturned by a rogue SCOTUS, than enforcing the law and fulfilling their duty and oath of office, we are all well and truly screwed!! The courts did not hold. They caved.

If the political crisis in the U.S. happened in a Third World country, the New York Times would write a story headlined “(Country X) Is Fast Becoming a Dictatorship.” So why not that headline for the U.S.?

MIKE JOHNSON: We have to ensure that the rule of law applies to everyone TAPPER: Does the rule of law apply to people who stormed the Capitol on January 6? JOHNSON: Apparently there were 274 FBI agents in the crowd TAPPER: They were sent there to do crowd control. It wasn't a false flag operation

When you’re in Paris and you know you overdid it on the book purchases.

There are credible reports that federal agents may be replaying the 2020 playbook and surging into Portland with the goal of provoking conflict and violence in my hometown. I am in close contact with state and local officials to monitor this activity.

Ukrainian forces conducted an operation against the Russian naval and commercial port of Novorossiysk. Apparently, naval USVs were also used during the attack.

As a part owner of Canada 🇨🇦 I really feel like we should not do this anymore. We're the home of Blackberry & The Canadarm (which did something amazing recently that it wasn't originally meant for). Let's get our own SAFE services! Maybe not in the cloud, as well!!?? globalnews.ca/news/1143639...

President Macron: The Russian aggression is not a problem of Europe but rather a problem which plagues us all. It's our problem. It poses the eternal question of the force of law against "might is right", freedom against imperialism.

Tylenol doesn't cause autism, but do you know what does cause brain damage in an infant? Extended high fevers.

Elon Musk has spent the past year obsessing over Pakistani child-rape gangs in the UK. Meanwhile, allegedly, in his own immediate family:

Stephen Colbert: “Tonight we’re all Jimmy Kimmel…. With an autocrat, you can’t give an inch. If ABC thinks that this is going to satisfy the regime, they are woefully naive, and clearly they've never read The Children's Book If You Give a Mouse A Kimmel.”
