lobbying the 2028 candidate to create the postal local armed defense corps

Something that should be motivating squeamish congressional Democrats is that if people don't see help coming, this kind of resistance is going to escalate pretty drastically

It feels like they're expanding their repertoire of tactics. Americans, how's about we don't let ICE go full-fledged death squad, eh? It wouldn't be a huge leap.

Trafficking the boy after using him as bait, pinning someone in the snow to spray into their mask, shooting Marimar Martinez, murdering Renee Good—Bovino and Miller are asserting the right to harm anyone they want. The only acceptable response is to make sure they can no longer harm anyone at all.

right now the floor for me is abolish ICE and put every agent on trial and the average elected democrat is like what if we told them to cut it out

PSA: You do not, under any circumstances, fund the Gestapo

re: last repost The two people I saw get brutalized by ICE today attempting to stop the abduction of two of our neighbors were gender non-conforming people. There were several visible and clocky trans and queer people there. We are turning out for our neighbors.

Klobuchar still posting basic political pablum a few minutes ago, while we all face the fact that a fucking child was kidnapped in her state...it's everything right there, isn't it

It seems to me Congress should hold off on funding elaborate conspiracies to violate the Constitution.

In their defense this was written by their wine critic but it is a good bit to hear this and think "they must hate wine!"

the crisis of impunity will continue despite Congressional leadership wanting to talk about grocery prices

Moving beyond mentally only accepting one form of protests as being acceptable and the only way to fight is what will help us combat all of this in the long run. Think in terms of adaptability, not only in terms of there only being one acceptable way to fight.

This is also mirror imaging at play - hi fellow intelligence folks. People make the assumption that being in the streets => mass protests like what we saw in South Korea orFrance. It's different here because we're so spread out, but what we have here is consistency.

This is one of the mechanisms of the Great Idiot Theory of History

Remember: if Ted Cruz is seen in Texas in January, it means spring is coming early. If he isn't seen in Texas in January, it means six more weeks of winter.

This effort to curry favor by acting like an insult comic will be forgotten within the Trump administration in a day, but will make headlines and be remembered for decades in the countries being insulted.

Let's give it up for black-capped chickadees. They're round, they're loud, and they want you to know it

I just looked at what our local weather guys are saying and realized that a lot of the South is supposed to get ice. Guys, take this very, very seriously. You do not mess around with ice and you absolutely do not leave the house during or after an ice storm if it isn't an emergency.

Pre-snowstorm PSA: Duncan Library has a ton of jigsaw puzzles that you can borrow, you don't even need to check them out or anything

The Unitary Executive Doctrine is a theory of American constitutional law holding that the President possesses the sole and absolute authority over the entire executive branch, unless it will nuke your 401(k)

I must imagine they've called everyone and said "look, he's dying, just hold on" because lacking that (and even WITH that), the response of other nations' governments to this moment indicates the full and earned death of the Western Liberal Order.

Guy Whose Country Keeps Almost Making Marine Le Pen President: “how dare you show your face around here”

look fair enough but i never know what any of us are supposed to do with this information lol

how are journalists still this naive about Trump? His comments today about Greenland were clearly a threat

TRUMP: honk honk honk, I'm a big goose. everyone tells me whenever I enter a room, that's the biggest goose I've ever seen and I say yes. I'm a big goose. in a good way. a lot of Somalians are small stupid gooses but I'm a big goose BBC NEWS: a disciplined Trump sticks to the script on the economy

The rise of the far right is global & Trumpism was strong in Europe before he got too much dip on his chip. It's a whole international gang of white supremacists in the club. Don't forget this extremism isn't isolated to America, it has partners.

And respectfully, RESPECTUFLLY, pretending "idiots vote against their own best interests because Eek, Brown People, and now everything sucks measurably more" is some uniquely American phenomenon is INSANE, to me. ESPECIALLY in the UK. Brexit was SIX YEARS AGO.

Reminder that when companies force RTO, they're basically doing soft layoffs.

For the kids of today, The Matrix is probably foundational to the point of being dusty. This is not a complaint -- The Matrix fuckin' BANGS -- just a reminder that time passes. It's not that kids today can't/won't see SF films before then, just that their eye on them will be very different.

This is obviously very scary but it’s super funny that this guy’s lie was to say he was with Indivisible. Bro, even if that’s the truth I’m not trusting your ass. 😂

Every day some story breaks me some. Today it’s the guy who approached parents at a school patrol, told them he was with Indivisible, and asked about how the patrol system works. The parents gave vague answers, followed him back to his car — and of course it was ICE.

You’d think this would also apply to firing the BLS chief for refusing to cook the books.

The Pentagon is drawing up plans to invade a US city

I don't care if you hate any foods. I do care when you use language that makes it impossible to distinguish between a food you didn't learn to appreciate for whatever reason and a literal shit sandwich.

Someone needs to answer these questions: 1. What changes if Democrats win the House? 2. What exactly will be different in Jan 2027 as a result?

Talking down to Black Americans like we own American imperialism when OUR grandfathers were hung from trees & our great grandfathers were shackled in irons & whipped is something white leftists abroad need not do. Check yourself before you wreck yourself & learn about the Black struggle.

When this is over, amoral anti-American law firms like Jones Day will eagerly be running Operation Paperclip for the lawless scum of the Trump DoJ like D. John Sauer, and the profession has to find a way to inflict debilitating harm on those firms and their managers or give up on the rule of law.

It is genuinely mad that Biden saying Putin and not Zelensky was like the "d'oh" heard around the wall and hastened his downfall and Trump gets to do about 100 of these a day and nothing happens.

The DOJ is arguing at the Supreme Court that if someone doesn't go against their lawyers advice and just spew shit out in social media that it should be held against them in court.

what purpose does Gavin Newsom serve

kyrsten sinema, please generate another wacky and bizarre sex scandal for us to laugh at please

listen, you can’t hate america more than americans hate america.

Telling me that I personally am at fault for what that shitheel president is doing is certainly your right but also he'd euthanize me if possible as a queer autistic so maybe understand He is the windshield, I am the bug.

I found the pandemic particularly eye-opening in this regard. There are some people for whom no situation is urgent enough to get them to make sacrifices for a cause greater than themselves.

I sort of am becoming a statue posting “REMEMBER WHAT THEY TOOK FROM YOU” because they are in fact taking things from me, right now.
