I've had this same problem with the Dem response to Trump over the last year. Promising a legislative solution to unconstitutional activity sends the message that there was some loophole in the law that needs to be closed. It's a clumsy way to keep surrendering our rights.

What iz jurnalizm?

"Suspected drug smuggling boat" should carry the same weight as "domestic terrorist", "mass murderer", or "worst of the worst". By their standards, these were probably just people fishing.

once again these things boil down to “is your group a bohemian cultural identity” or “is your group actually trying to do things?” and the key tell is whether your activity centers on policing of in-group behavior or whether it centers on, again, tangible goals

Explicitly saying you perpetuate and protect the most disgusting sort of work environment should make you unemployable.

Really nuts how many men were like "Me Too went too far, and I need to email Jeffrey Epstein about it."

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche needs to resign. He got the law wrong about patronizing sex parties with alleged child trafficking. He failed to redact names of victims & pictures of children. AND he moved Ghislaine Maxwell to a minimum-security prison & got her a puppy.

Imagine seeing photos and videos of ugly old men raping underage girls and thinking, "I need to protect those horrible men at all costs."? Pam Bondi is a soulless villain.

I was on @jesscraven101.bsky.social Live last night: substack.com/@jesscraven1... We discussed the recent court filing on #SSA from the admin, why #Congress NEEDS to do something NOW, and my campaign #Chuck4MD. I've also joined Substack @chuck4md with more to come. Join us at: chuck4md.com

I’m sorry but what did libertarians think that the anonymous money laundering racism coin that you could only functionally use for illicit activity was doing other than this, exactly

Tour guide just kicked me out because I wouldn't stop referring to The Ossuary of Prague as The Bone Zone.

this is not the ringing defense he thinks it is, even before you get to his robot giving him the world’s saddest handjob

Something that's been made even more clear by the past year is that once you reach a certain social tier, you join an elite club where the rules and norms aren't recognizable to us garbage people.

*mood*

Do not fall for this garbage. DHS came into my city with an offensive posture, conducted itself as an invader, often attacked residents without any plausible connection to immigration enforcement, violently seized people off the streets. Now it’s our fault people died?

I am so excited to not watch Melania's movie that I'm not watching it right now and will be not watching it all weekend!

What makes Gavin Newsom such a skilled politician is that he stands up to Trump’s bullying with piping hot memes AND is able to agree with Trump about policy www.sacbee.com

100%. I honestly believe political leaders ask too little of people. The thinking is you need an extraordinarily low bar - so ask people for money or to sign something. People want to be part of something and they're eager to do real meaningful work in defense of their community and their rights.

Ok so here we go a-fucking-gain!!!!! Frankie FiServ really has a hard on for these phone times at the expense of literally everything else we do here, so for the third (fourth? I lost count) time he is adding MORE people to answering phones!!!!! I cannot make this shit up y’all. Lets talk about it 😒

A big part of the story here is that women like Renee Good are braver and stronger than they could have ever imagined and that just doesn't fit with what MAGA men tell themselves about how gender works. It just does not compute.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

I have already called for an impeachment inquiry into Noem & am now signing onto the articles of impeachment for her abysmal conduct.

Join us in honoring Alex’s memory this week by wearing black.

I'm not going to post screenshots for obvious reasons but I have been alerted that a bunch of the top posts in r/MassiveCock are anti-ICE now and anyone who defends ICE in comments is getting yelled down lol

someone called him pee wee german which is also great

NEVER FORGET THIS PHOTO. THIS MAN WAS MURDERED BY A CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE CURRENTLY OPERATING OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE.

Absolutely right. Call them all, call them repeatedly, don't stop.

As a huge PFT fan, it sucks he lumps us in with AltNPS. I get it, but still.

DHS Sec Kristi Noem said Pretti attacked officers, & CPB Commander Bovino said Alex wanted to do “maximum damage & massacre law enforcement.” In posts on X, Trump’s deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller called Pretti "a would-be assassin.” You saw what you saw. They're lying to you.

I want to talk about AltNPS, Minneapolis, #AltGov, and Luddites. One of my fears have come true. I knew this would happen when I made my AltNPS video, but it sucks to be right. And I know I'm not American, and I may not have the "right" to do so, but I will, because this is history repeating. 🧵

NEW: The ICE killing of Alex Pretti, the second in Minneapolis, prompts quick legal action. After ICE agents killed Alex Pretti on Saturday, lawyers responded quickly — leading to one TRO issued before the night's end aimed at preserving evidence of the killing. My report at Law Dork:

BTW, when people defend AltNPS as harmless, this is what the result of their fucking scam is. Altgov helped expose them, and we still have to answer for their bullshit every day.

And just like that, everyone who wanted this movie has now seen it.

Put this in context... The ICE goon goes out of his way to approach a woman and shove her as hard as he could into the ground. Anyone with a conscience would instinctively intervene in that situation. The ICE Boy knows that. It's what he wants. They want a confrontation and an excuse for violence.

They filled the ranks with Proud Boys and Oath Keepers, motherfucker! They're using our bodies for target practice in the streets and mocking our horror! TRAINING. WON'T. FIX. SOCIOPATHS!

ICE needs to stand down across Minneapolis and leave the country immediately. Enjoy Siberia, death pimps

Absolute banger of a comment on r/military: www.reddit.com/r/Military/c...

YOUR PHONE CALLS TO THE SENATE ARE WORKING. KEEP CALLING. 202–224-3121 Three Democrats who previously broke with the party and voted with the GOP are now saying they will not vote for the bill. That’s enough for the bill to be unpassable right now.

For Alex and all the others.

1st Amendment - right to assemble = Renee was killed 1st Amendment + 2nd Amendment = Alex was killed 4th Amendment - warrants required = ChongLy "Scott" Thao abducted "... with liberty and justice for all."

Video of Alex Pretti reading final honors for a veteran he cared for at the VA. Rest in Power 🇺🇸

So... - ICE was staying in a hotel - The hotel management worried they might go after an employee - They informed ICE of the legal status, which permitted the employee to live and work in the US - ICE promises they'll leave him alone - Then they arrest the guy anyway

I hate how often I’m forced by this administration to think of this @clintsmithiii.bsky.social poem

Another first-hand account. Share far and wide.

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

Which raises the question: Which states quietly gave in when threatened?

New list! Help me keep it up to date. SENATORS COMMITTING TO A NO VOTE ON ICE FUND ✔️Catherine Cortez Mastro ✔️Jacky Rosen ✔️Mark Warner ✔️Elissa Slotkin ✔️Tina Smith ✔️Raphael Warnock ✔️Chris Murphy ✔️Bernie Sanders ✔️Ron Wyden ✔️Chuck Schumer‼️
