Well, what do you know. They can be held accountable for some things, at least in civil court. www.oregonlive.com/crime/2026/0...

Amanda Gorman wrote this poem for Renee Good and that’s it for me tonight.

Power to the people! 🎶

Questions: *was this a military or law enforcement action? *what is the legal justification for either? *if it is military “self-defense,” what is the justification for “running” the country? *does U.S. recognize Maduro (or his VP) as Venezuela’s leader? *If so, why doesn’t this give him immunity?

One of the unacknowledged advantages of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power. The intentions of the oligarchs are fully exposed and more blatant than ever. But remember: We outnumber the oligarchs.

"When same-sex marriage was still years away, there was America’s Uncle, straight as can be, demanding a future in which LGBTQ families be given a full stake in the American Dream and hurry the fuck up on that, please and thank you." charlotteclymer.substack.com/p/americas-u...

I keep saying this but no one is connecting the dots. The war is to satisfy legal preconditions for mass removal *domestically* of Latinos (i.e., suddenly a lot of people are going to be “Venezuelan” for purposes of removal). This is 100% Stephen Miller…oil claim is to make grandpa go along

For fuck’s sake

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week. @wired.com #ICE www.wired.com/story/fbi-wa...

Get to work tomorrow.❤️✊🏽

Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year. That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare. Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

It is the moral, ethical, and yes legally right for Democratic States and Cities to engage in Soft Secession by withholding federal taxes. This would not violate the Supremacy Clause, has immense precedent in US history, & the time to act is NOW. www.qasimrashid.com/p/blue-state...

Honestly at some point you have to start doing psyops with these people: Have Obama announce that he will seek a third term tomorrow. Then watch all the con law “scholars” and Fix News MELT DOWN trying to explain why he can’t but Trump can. (It’s like Newsom taking over his social media persona)

Here's the Ronald Reagan ad from Canada that Trump calls "fake."

Meiselas: California Gov. Gavin Newsom just announced he’s deploying the National Guard — to help Californians hurt by Trump’s government shutdown. While Trump uses the Guard to attack Americans, Newsom is sending them to deliver food and support families in need.

The war zone in Portland is out of control.

Cost to fund Obamacare subsidies for a year: 35B Amount just given to that sick fuck running Argentina: 40B But we have to keep the govt closed because Democrats want to spend too much on health care.

What The Hell Is Going On, a thread: I’ve seen some thinkpieces and posts about Portland protests that fail to understand the long-term hyperspecificity of Portland culture/humor, and frame it as a sort of shitposting meme-pilled ironic thing. Which is wrong. So I’m gonna give you my breakdown.

Michigan Avenue right now.

We aren't on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We are in the middle of it. But I worry people don't see the whole scheme. They just pay attention to each new daily outrage. So I went to the Senate floor to explain Trump's plan. Here's a 🧵of the speech. It's important.

It’s pretty wild being in Portland and hearing planes fly overhead and being afraid it’s the US military invading

A silent, inter-faith march near the ICE detention center in Portland, Oregon. The marchers held flowers. 💐

For everyone saying this is an impeachable offense and worse than Watergate: Of course it is. But that doesn’t matter in the slightest, because this GOP Congress has completely abdicated their duty and will never do anything to hold him accountable.

STEWART: “Comedy doesn’t change the world, but it’s a bellwether— we’re the banana peel in the coal mine… authoritarians are the threat to comedy, music, art, thought… progress.” Nailed it.

Obama: So we have to extend to people during their period of mourning We can also at the same time say I disagree with the idea that the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was a mistake I can disagree with the suggestion that my wife or Justice Jackson does not have adequate brain processing power.

Reporter: Do you think it would have been fitting to lower the flags for Melissa Hortman who was killed as well? Trump: Uh, I’m not familiar, who?

People missing an important point about folks getting fired for whatever they said about Charlie Kirk: Americans are being conditioned to be snitches on their fellow citizens who don’t toe a party line on what is “allowed” to be expressed. And employers are going along. It’s the new secret police

GOP greatly overestimates the number of fucks GenX and younger give about Bill Clinton.

Ricky Martin. He’s still got it.

Mushroom peeping #PNW

Republicans are trying to redraw congressional district lines to keep their grip on Congress in the midterms and beyond.  Voters should pick their politicians, not the other way around. Get involved with the @democraticredistricting.com as they fight back: bit.ly/3HJ1ayW

Rogin: So even what Trump is talking about in that press conference is totally wrong. He's misinterpreted something that his own envoy misinterpreted. So this is the level of sheer incompetence and confusion and just total bizarre chaos that's surrounding this Alaska meeting.

Hammer on nail... this man is going viral.

You know that scene in an action movie when the bad guy runs through the kitchen of a restaurant and pulls down all the pots and pans behind him to slow down his pursuers? We're in that part of the Trump presidency.
