The leaders of Albania & Azerbaijan were filmed mocking US Trump for claiming he ended a war between the 2 countries, even though they have never fought each other. The world thinks that the occupant is a joke. He’s destroying our country. Congress must act.

Breaking NYT: The FBI agent who sought to investigate the federal immigration officer who fatally shot Renee Good has resigned from the bureau, according to two people familiar with the matter, after leadership pressured her to discontinue a civil rights inquiry into the officer.

WHO removing Us Flag

One of the funniest things of 2025 was when twitter introduced the location feature, and we found out that all "Alberta Independence" and "Alberta join the U.S.A" accounts, were actually Americans pretending to be Canadians.

I didn't say it. The Germans did.

this has flown under the radar, but we are doing third-country detention in a country with a worse human rights record than North Korea

a free idea for investigative reporters would be to try to get to the bottom of how much DHS is spending on rental vehicles and rental vehicle replacement, because it's got to be a substantial amount.

NEW: A federal court ruling in Minnesota, which notes ICE agents broke the Fourth Amendment by entering a family's home sans warrant, lands as ICE faces scrutiny over a secret memo claiming their agents can enter homes w/ administrative paperwork alone.

ICE just crashed a car at my intersection (due to their own shitty driving) and immediately got out and tear gassed observers.

Top football official calls for World Cup boycott over Trump Greenland demands

This is fucking long overdue.

Thirty-one known defendants have been charged in Chicago with non-immigration crimes tied to “Operation Midway Blitz.” With today’s acquittal, 15 of them have been cleared. No one has been convicted.

AOC: An agency that is attacking U.S. citizens, kidnapping five-year-olds and using them as bait, and privately circulating the idea that they can violate the rights of Americans by busting down their doors—they deserve to be defunded, and I’ll take any step in that direction.

One of the most unexpected media events of this moment has been entertainment (Teen Vogue, People) & trade (Wired) publications accurately reporting the news & cogently calling out fascist falsehoods, while our Serious News Sources (NYT, WP, WSJ) avoid truth or sane-washes it, and publishes pablum.

remarkable how much contempt this white house has for the nation’s historical and artistic treasures

Democratic leadership is terrified of being seen on the side of the people of Minneapolis, least they lose the potential future support of pro-cop people whose support they do not and never will have.

we are all sluggo on this blessed day

Trump’s Board of Peace logo is basically the UN logo, except dipped in gold and edited so the world only includes America.

Just imagine being the parent of a soldier from Canada or Denmark or Great Britain or France who was killed in Afghanistan in the one and only time Article 5 was invoked and the entire alliance came to America's aid, and hearing President Bone Spurs say this.

The world learned today that you absolutely have to bully this dumb old asshole as a collective. Better late than never for them, but we better get used to being aggressively humiliated for the next few years.

bro there’s a gofundme to crowdfund attorney fees for a preschooler who was kidnapped by our federal government and shipped across state lines and his senator is posting about high school hockey while every other elected official is debating whether to give a zillion more dollars to the kidnappers

Great thread about the reality of Minneapolis right now. I’ve been following Margaret for years when she first started Patreon and she’s smart and insightful

As a dedicated moderate, I can confirm

I would argue that the case for dismantling ICE has, at this point, virtually nothing to do with larger questions of immigration enforcement and reform, it's just clearly incompatible with a free and democratic society to maintain a secret police force with sweeping and arbitrary authority.

Trump’s first choice for attorney general:

I've been here 24 hours, but already with what I've seen, well, I genuinely believe we're going to win. People here are well aware that what happens here impacts the entire country, that it sets the tone for resistance. ICE is angry, ICE is terrified, of how deeply unpopular it is.

Another friend put it to me like this: "ICE has made the classic Nazi mistake. They've invaded a winter people in the winter."

I know. But we have to try. We're not allowed to not TRY. History would rightly never forgive us. If we fail the Second Reconstruction, let it not be because we didn't do everything remotely within our power to ensure the future doesn't have to deal with our failures.

This guy went to work today, put a mask on, kidnapped a 5 year old child, and then used him as bait so both he and his father could be sent behind bars

This headline is admirably straightforward. This is exactly what the 8th Circuit has done through their one-sentence administrative stay of a district judge's detailed, 80-page ruling. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

It’s shameful verging on collaborationist that universities slashed DEI rather than fighting the administration on this.

every single person in DHS at every level is going to have to be accountable for these crimes

This is Liam Ramos. The five year old that ICE took from a Minneapolis school and sent BY HIMSELF WITHOUT HIS FAMILY to a detention facility in Texas. There are monsters among us and they are wearing masks, carrying guns, and work for the US government.

“It was a simpler time then, back when all people wanted to talk about was the leader of the country molesting underage girls,” said Denver resident Scott Munoz

Heartbreaking cruelty visited upon children in our name

This is a photo of someone being tortured, not someone being restrained

Treating the Constitution like toilet paper

Every Stephen Miller tantrum and DHS recruitment ad speaks in these existential terms about "defending your culture" to elide the fact that they need people with the courage to wear a mask while interrogating a sixth grader

Dear God, man. You are Speaker of the House. Third in line to the presidency. Have some fucking dignity.

The problem with this take is that Trump is literally doing things no president has done before because the republican congress is capitulating and the Supreme Court wants a king. It's not just the 33% of Americans who voted for him who failed. It's a full failure across our institutions.
