I like his idea to ban anyone who works for ICE from employment by any state agency. Keep the cancer out.

post of the day

Call this what it is: a street gang with a federal budget.

"The federal government is killing people in the streets, so sports are canceled," is the point we have reached.

/5 This will not be the last death. The people of MN are unbowed, and that will further enrage the Gestapo. The administration will escalate. They want violence. They WANT to murder people who disagree with them. They are empty without it.

Reminder: These 7 Democrats voted for the violence in Minneapolis to continue, voted for ICE to go forth and multiply.

this is it.

I am watching what is happening in Minneapolis on Ali Velshi and one of the ICE officers (off camera) literally says, “It’s like Call of Duty. Pretty cool huh?” as they shoot whatever it is they are shooting. Agents walking around, guns unholstered for no reason. This is insanity

omg

this is it - slavery is the original sin that leads to dehumanization.

When I first saw the picture of five-year-old Liam Ramos, this is what I thought of and I can't get it out of my head.

cowards or accomplices

Delroy Lindo. That is all.

If elected Dems can't vote to abolish this, we need new elected Dems youtu.be/um2CmFoz0Cg?...

"This is what it is like to be occupied by people who hate you."

(people who hate government have no vision. or damaged vision, maybe)

happy news - the albatross I was worried about the other day had his baby chick brought to him today, safely hatched. (Mama is out and about somewhere.) youtu.be/pPuUIdzt8ss?...

what the ever loving eff?

So I've been equivocating between Katie Porter and Eric Swalwell for governor, but this interview makes me want to fill in the Swalwell bubble. youtu.be/L8FBAfBjku4?...

Yep. The whole article is a must-read - as usual with Bunch.

Patty Murray, folks. She should be the Dem Leader.

😠👇💯😱

okay, here's the plan. Get the House and Senate back. impeach / remove Vance, then during the fight over his replacement, impeach /remove Trump. Either a republican the dems can stomach will have been made VP, or Jeffries becomes the next Prez.

I'm a petty person, and my revenge fantasies about ICE are inspired by a scene from Kindergarten Cop where good guy Pamela Reed gets back at bad guy Diane Baker for running over her with her car. We need to take away ICE's "car." youtu.be/2IVorOpGDGg?...

in a nutshell

Would America lose it's collective mind if the networks hired reporters who asked useful questions like this?

The Virgin Sturgeon in Sacramento in the 1970s. Burgers on the river under the stars and live music (my band played there from time to time.) There was a pirate ship anchored a little downstream that had goats and other animals and smelled awful. Life was simpler then.

Schumer can be sure Trump won't go after him. He's too feckless and weak to bother with.

okay, she's on my list of possibilities for 2028 youtu.be/z2ue2kCsXTk?...

what a treat!! youtu.be/oNoRaPeodnE?...

I feel like people who are telling folks in Minnesota not to take the bait so Trump doesn’t invoke the Insurrection Act have a lot more good faith in an aging cruel dipshit who is being feed a steady diet of AI slop by scheming viziers who dream of invoking the Insurrection Act than I do.

Stop. Normalizing. The. One. Special. Boy. If it were any other president, especially any Democrat since Truman, the frame would be totally different & this would all end his presidency.

Gah! RCV: 1. Neutralizes the danger of lots of normal candidates diluting the vote and letting one wacko sneak in for the win. 2. Lets you vote for the candidate of your heart knowing they won't win while still supporting the "practical" candidate over the wacko candidate.

If I were queen of the world and got to pick whoever I wanted for Democratic Leader in the senate, I'd choose Patty Murray. She gets it, and she gets it done.

Vote Democratic for scientific discoveries, treatments and cures for disease, clean energy development, disaster recovery systems, weather reports!, clean air and water and inspected food!, et cetera... Vote Republican for violent goon squads roaming the streets and invading day care centers.

the gestapo must be stopped

Here's an idea. Why not freeze ICE funding and dedicate it to compensating victims of their brutality?

The impulse to enslave for profit and sadistic gratification didn't die after the Civil War, and since the New Deal, the Republican project has always been to strip all regular people of autonomy, dignity, and power.

as the tide turns and the expectation of a blue wave swells, the old neoliberal interests are going to "step up" to catch the wave for the easy ride... and all the while, their goal will be to preserve the old, neoliberal interests that brought us this mess in the first place.

Of course there will be elections in 2026... and 2028... and beyond. And of course MAGAlodytes are going to try to impede them. And of course they won't succeed. There are more of us. (And we are the good guys.) And we will prevail.

👇My first thought when I saw the longer video was the guy was enraged because a woman had ridiculed him and meant to teach the "fucking bitch" a lesson.

why is impeachment unlikely to succeed? because Republicans are that morally bankrupt.
