They are destroying the social safety net to save it.

This story has finally made the NY Times, but below the fold. You would think the fact that the president is a rapist pedophile would be bigger news.

This is totally illegal and obviously corrupt, and the mainstream press is reporting on it as if it's just news.

He’s batshit insane.

VARNEY: We are told that temperatures of 10 million Kelvin are bad for the human body, is that no longer true? BURGUM: It's true, but those temperatures are required for nuclear fusion, which powers sunshine. So are those temperatures dangerous or necessary for life? We know it's the latter.

Satan has called her back to hell.

Infuriating and heartbreaking. There’s a special room in hell for all the monsters who enabled this torture of children.

R.I.P. Robert Duvall, He was good in so many movies, but this is, I think, his greatest performance.

Oh look, trying to kill people and then lying suddenly has consequences.

Come get us, bitches.

Go after Noem and Bondi, for sure, but impeach this maniac first.

These motherfuckers are unredeemable. Shut it all down.

So turns out everything that spokes-witch Tricia McLaughlin said about this case was a pack of lies.

OK, even for this clownshow administration, this is an almost supernatural level of comic incompetence. The Department of Defense lets border patrol agents play with a laser weapon; these bozos shoot down a party balloon they mistake for a hostile drone; & the FAA has to shut down a major airport.

So that’s why he sounds like that.

What fresh hell is this?

Breaking: box of wine fails to secure indictment of ham sandwich.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 OMFG these 🤡🤡🤡 got nothin

And so the concentration camps begin. Buildings never designed for human habitation will soon hold up to 10,000 people apiece. Seven warehouses are being refurbished in Maryland, Arizona, Texas, and Georgia at a cost of billions of dollars.

This Bad Bunny performance is pretty awesome, but Prince in the pouring rain in Miami is still the greatest halftime show I ever saw.

Dems are now overperforming the 2024 lean of red districts by, uh, 30+ points in special elections I’m not sure “apocalyptic” is sufficient to describe how the environment is starting to look for the GOP in November

Golden shower medal winner! 🥇 🥇🥇 “Team Great Britain skier Gus Kenworthy has launched a blistering attack on US Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers by urinating the words ‘Fuck Ice’ on the snow just before the start of the Winter Olympics.”

There's a simple solution to this problem, you know.

Wow. Welcome to the resistance, NY Times. I can't recall a front-page story this unflinchingly frank about Hair Furor's racism. No caveating, no euphemisms, and plenty of context.

This. Every word of this. "In a democratic republic, the slavish hunger to be in the thrall of a strongman is the ultimate moral degeneracy. The mores of civic democracy are rooted in strength & self-respect. Contempt, scorn and laughter are the only proper responses to Trump’s claims and demands."

They’re trying to run the Kilmar Abrego Garcia playbook with a five year old boy in a bunny hat because nobody can find peace if they embarrass the Trump administration publicly. Normal people didn’t like it with Garcia and they really aren’t going to like it for Liam.

Mamdani: "I speak of Renee Good, whose final words to the man who murdered her were, 'I'm not mad at you.' I speak of Alex Pretti who died as he lived, caring for the stranger. ICE shot him bc he did something they could never fathom ... let us offer a new path: one of defiance through compassion."

An impotent old man beating his flabby chest to make himself feel strong. Anyone afraid of this 🤡 needs a spine transplant.

They were working on anti-cancer vaccines using the MRA technology that Frogvoice McGravelface has declared verboten. It's a fucking death cult. They WANT US TO DIE.

"Democracy dies in..." "Hey, will you turn off the lights as you're leaving? Thanks."

Neither Trump nor the GOP in congress have this power, & the only way they do this is if we decline to stand up for our rights. He's had a string of electoral defeats & rightfully fears the midterms. His outbursts are real threats, but they come from weakness. Tough shit, he's going down. No Kings.

If you haven't donated to ProPublica yet, do. They've broken more stories of significant public interest over the past few years than most mainstream media. While once-venerable outlets like CBS News and WaPo are being compromised and corrupted by cretinous oligarchs, ProPublica is the real deal.

Thank god for district court judges with human instincts and a functioning conscience.

The only people who have died have been people exercising their constitutional rights while masked, armed federal paramilitaries have violently invaded an entire state to do a wholesale ethnic cleansing campaign.

Even under SCOTUS's dubious reasoning in Trump v. U.S., there is no scenario in which maneuvering billions of dollars to an offshore account to keep it out of reach from Congress and courts is an "official act." This is all criminal and impeachable.

THIS is what domestic terrorism looks like. And Ihlan Omar is a badass—she went right at that deranged fuck. Stephen Miller would have curled up into a fetal ball and wept. I hope to God she is okay.

Next comes the gravel pit.

The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember: - Organized a city wide general strike - Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence - Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE - Flipped public opinion against ICE

Couldn’t happen to a nazier guy.

Concerted backlash against authoritarianism WORKS. Vigorous legal pushback WORKS. Peaceful resistance WORKS. Of course, it helps a lot when the regime's thug's straight-up murder people on camera.

Needless to say that Renee Good and Alex Pretti will go down as heroes here in Minnesota and nationally, their names synonymous with sacrifice and caring for vulnerable neighbors even at the risk of your own life. And hopefully no more innocent lives are lost.

I've been furious, sickened, and depressed all day. I don't know how we can take three more years of this shit.

Wolves have a moment of silence for Alex Pretti, after seven seconds of silence several fans yell "FUCK ICE"

strange to me that a lot of people on this website simultaneously agree that the administration is run by incompetents who struggle to carry out their agenda without major political blowback AND that they’ll pull off a complex and sophisticated effort to rig elections and prevent defeat in November

Alex Pretti was a good man. He cared every day, deeply, for the people Trump called losers and suckers. We are ruled by demons now.

This 💯

What's with the weasel words, NY Times? "Videos Appear to Contradict Federal Account of Killing"? Unless you're saying the videos are inauthentic or were doctored, or that we can't trust the evidence of our own senses, there's no "appear to" about it, as YOUR OWN FUCKING ANALYSIS PROVES!

Republicans: everyone must be able to carry any gun at all times, up to and including high powered rifles, to protect themselves against tyranny also Republicans, without batting an eye: carrying a gun is unquestionable justification for federal agents to shoot you dead in the street

By who? Who shot the person dead? You saw the video. We all know a federal agent shot a man dead who was prone on the ground. Also, it's not "according to officials." It's according to verified video seen with your eyes. Not saying what anyone can obviously see with their eyes is a form of lying.
