Madre mía.

Minneapolis should press its momentum and demand not only withdrawal but start talking about the need for immediate reparations, loudly, with the total certainty that only winners have. "You have wronged us terribly and must pay recompense" and let them argue the second part.

Yes. And this fake FBI raid on Fulton county is a bad omen. We mustn’t sleep on this.

Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."

REFORM voters turn up. They vote for authoritarianism. They vote for fascism. And they win — because you stayed home. Farage doesn’t rise on popularity. He rises on apathy. If fascists take power, don’t ask “how did this happen?” Ask who didn’t bother to vote. Vote. Or let them rule you.

What did Putin say to Trump in Helsinki in 2018? They confiscated the translator’s notes. There was no US delegation in the room. If Trump is not working with Putin, is he working for him? If he weren’t, how could we tell the difference?

This agency is better funded than the military. What are they doing with the money?

folks, this is some really weird shit. the president is not well.

Some perspective: The S&P opened down -1.3% on Trump's Greenland saber-rattling. That's $750 billion of wealth destroyed -- roughly equal to estimates of the value of Greenland. And so ~in dollar terms~ his shenanigans have already cost the US one Greenland, and we've got nothing to show for it.

We would not. Let’s see if we get out of this mess with no nuclear weapons used.

If you have GOP reps, call them before Trump drags us into world war three.

Ultimately, corporations are about privatizing profits and socializing losses. If we want to do something about climate change, governments have to step up.

This is where we are at. For what? For nothing. For stupidity. For ego. For an old, demented malignant narcissist who expects the world to jump at his every whim. Well, when you follow international news you can see that the world has pretty much had enough of his bullshit.

Pew Research Institute (2023): • Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants • Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants • Blue State Minnesota has 130,000. And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration." It's *not* about immigration.

What the hell is in those files?

Silly woman! You knew I was a snake when you took me in!

Biden increased the royalties that companies pay for drilling from 12.5% to 18.75%, the largest increase in over a century. www.npr.org/2022/04/16/1... He did this because a federal judge *ORDERED SALES TO RESUME* after Biden suspended leasing in his 1st week in office. www.npr.org/2021/06/15/1...

“Even milliseconds or seconds of interrupted blood flow to the brain can have serious consequences,” one Harvard neurologist told us. There is no “method of applying pressure on the neck that is foolproof in terms of avoiding neurologic damage.” By @nicolefoy.bsky.social and @mckenziefunk.com

Whatever is in those files must be the most horrible thing you don’t even want to imagine or know about.

Agree.

I have noticed a disturbing number of calls for violence against ICE agents. One word: DON'T! Around the world, dictators WANT violence because it provides cover for them to launch massive militarized retaliation. Dictators even stage false-flag operations to provide themselves with an excuse.

UNION STRONG!

One of fascism’s most effective weapons is the idea of inevitability. It tells you that events are already decided, that resistance is pointless, & that there aren't alternatives. Once people accept that story, they stop imagining change, & when imagination disappears, so does the power to oppose.

People need to call their reps. This is unacceptable and must stop. People need to call their GOP reps too. This madness must end.

This is it folks. Trump’s DAG Blanche is setting the table to enable Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act/Martial Law. Using all the predicate language.

I remember when he was an informant & “cooperated w/ local & federal law enforcement, to aid in the prosecution of those running other, separate criminal enterprises, ranging from running marijuana grow houses in Miami to operating pharmaceutical fraud schemes”. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021...

The main bank account holding revenue from the Venezuelan oil sales is located in Qatar. “There is no basis in law for a president to set up an offshore account that he controls so that he can sell assets seized by the American military,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren. www.semafor.com/article/01/1...

Holy. Fucking. Shit. They stole a phone from a kid and then sold it. Defund ICE. Call your Senators and Congressperson. Sen's Corey Booker and Chris Murphy have already promised to defund this horrible gang of thugs. 202-224-3121

The secret police is using private data to intimidate people.

When people argue along the lines of "life with Obama was not perfect, so why bother opposing Trump?", I am always tempted to ask: Breathing is not perfect. If you breathe all the time, you will still eventually die. So, why bother beathing if anything less than perfect is worthless?

Dana Perino thinks Zohran Mamdani is over-reading his win. Trump won the popular vote with 49.8% of the popular vote. Mamdani won with 50.4% of the vote in a three way race. How does Trump have a landslide and a mandate, while Mamdani doesn't?

This is a big deal. Everyone must see the Jerome Powell video. We won’t have a country left. Trump keeps saying that and everyone should know by now that he projects. They will destroy our currency.

The goal here is martial law. It’s martial law. Let’s be clear about that.

This keeps happening every day. www.elnuevodia.com/noticias/est...

Defunding the CPB through the budgetary process had its own section of Project 2025. Republicans succeeded in another thing they openly said they would do.

It’s insane. The press conference Trump gave was also totally nuts. What the hell are we doing? This group is going to run Venezuela? On the other hand, maybe they’ll be busy down there and leave us alone, although I don’t wish that on anyone.

He’s right. They’re just fucking liars. (I don’t like cursing) Every single time. Their words are worth nothing. It’s just noise.

Curious indeed.

FT: ‘Srinivasan himself has started a “Network School”…where techno-optimists can work their day jobs remotely while living in a hotel together and learning how to “bootstrap”, or build, a new society. Membership and accommodation, which he dubs “society-as-a-service”, starts at $1,500 a month.’

This will be remembered as the most pathetic moment in American history. What a needy fool.

This is so sad. Will we ever get it back? These people are destroying government, then they will say government doesn’t work so they can destroy it some more. This has been the goal of the GOO since the new deal. For them, government should only serve big business.

I’d forgotten about that. So many things this man has done and yet idiots voted for him anyway or stayed home. We all knew who he was or should have.

www.reddit.com/r/TikTokCrin... This guy was already in jail for defrauding millions from gullible build-the-wall trumpers. What else does he fear he’ll be charged with? Everyone needs to see this talk. A lot of these folks should maybe see a court date and possibly jail time.

Some charts for those who don't know the extent of the US public (and private) investment in research (particularly in biomedical research) compared to other countries and institutions. The destruction of the US' scientific institutions has global implications.

Well reported story on the PBS News Hour about science cuts and the ongoing and potential brain drain. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLvO... Thanks to Terrance Tao and other scientists at various career stages for having the courage to speak out. Watch and share! 1/7

"Something's going on here. It's very suspicious. They take perfect, beautiful Queen Elizabeth & replace her with... Who is this woman? Deep State is trying to confuse me. A total scam, folks. We're looking into it"😅

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube. Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X). *1981 Sherrilyn horrified by 2025 Sherrilyn saying “let’s post Reagan’s speech.” youtu.be/5t5QK03KXPc

How is this the actual account of the actual president of the actual United States?

Senate is back in session today. 1/ So a quick 🧵on where things are at on the shutdown. You get a lot of propaganda and spin thrown at you, so I want to give you the real, behind-the-scenes tea.
