TERRORISM EXPERT HERE: This statement is a clear example of what is known as “State Terrorism”: When the dictatorship will order all instruments of its state security & intelligence apparatus against its own citizens to terrorize the population.

Oh, fine. Let me just fire up the Tardis, go back two years, and write the articles you were too lazy (or too busy huffing your own virtue) to look for www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc... and www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

Just an FYI: We’re not facing a “government shutdown.” This is a Trump-MAGA Republican shutdown. Call it what it is.

Maybe the soybean farmers have a point

Democracy Docket has a reporter in the courtroom covering the Texas redistricting hearing every single day. Meanwhile, the big legacy media is nowhere to be found. At stake are 5 congressional seats. If this matters more than both sides journalism, become a DD subscriber today. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Federal agents hurled tear gas at people on a busy Logan Square street, outside a grocery store and near an elementary school. Reckless, undertrained ICE hires are a danger to everyone. This is terrorism against US citizens.

I just voted YES on 50. Let's do this California!

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

Even if you support massive deportation operations, under no circumstances should ANYONE be ok with US citizens being forcibly removed from their homes and detained without explanation. This is a clear violation of their constitutional rights and should universally condemned.

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

Scott Jennings on CNN refuses to say he condemns children in Chicago being zip-tied, aggressively pulled out of their homes away from their families, detained till 3am, & traumatized this way by ICE. He should be ashamed of himself Let me help you Scott: the answer is YES

Every day I log on and just see endless videos of ICE agents breaking state, federal, and international laws.

God, the violence I've seen just in one day coming from ICE thugs is too much. How can anyone think this is OK?

Did you know that your healthcare premiums are about to double because the GOP is intentionally sabotaging the Affordable Care Act and pretending that Democrats are trying to give undocumented immigrants free insurance?

BlackRock will buy AES, one of the largest publicly traded utility companies in the U.S. AES is a major power provider for Big Tech companies building out data centers. Yes: while these data centers drive up your electricity costs, wealthy financiers are going to make a killing.

Elon Musk was stupid enough to think he could win an argument with Jane Goodall.

From her lifetime of pioneering work with chimpanzees to her tireless advocacy for the environment... Jane Goodall was a one-of-a-kind treasure to the world! I was lucky enough to be able to thank her personally when our paths crossed not long ago. Thanks again, Ms. Goodall. You will be missed. ♥️

This, 💯%. And it's not merely messaging—it's just simple, discernible fact. The best messaging is messaging that reminds people of what is true and known to be true. The entire 2024 presidential campaign should have been about this.

Clarence Thomas announced that he doesn't care about precedent and is making it up as he goes along. He didn't say it *like that* of course, because then people would have noticed. But I noticed, through the jargon, and explain it here in @thenation. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

.@morganevelyncook on TikTok is trying to figure out why Trump is sending troops to Portland, Oregon, and her video is the greatest thing ever 🤣

which serves as the umbrella office for the government’s 72 inspectors general, has been forced to close after Trump withheld congressionally approved funds. Along with this move, the website hosting decades of inspector general reports has vanished. Website was ignet.gov

Talarico: if you read the new testament, Jesus doesn't spend most of his time preaching or teaching or even praying. He spends most of his time healing the sick. Right now, we have politicians in congress with Christ follower in their Twitter bio, but they are kicking the sick off their health care

Trump bails out far-right Argentinian leaders (not the Argentinian people) giving them $20 Billion while he doubles millions of Americans' health care premiums. Trump is stealing from you. Dwell on this.

Not one mention of this in the national news. You are all collaborators of law breaking constitution defying mad Men. SHAME on you: #NBCNews #ABCNews #CBSNews

My god. “Watson said she saw agents dragging residents, including kids, out of the building without any clothes on and into U-Haul vans. Kids were separated from their mothers…’It was heartbreaking to watch…seeing kids coming out buck naked and taken from their mothers, it was horrible.’”

The Republicans are lying their arses off – at the same time they're trying to make you hate. Undocumented immigrants are not eligible for a single penny of healthcare funding. Don't let Republicans' othering of people whom they hate rub off on you. Do not let their hate infect you.

The professionalism that our most senior military commanders exhibited with their silence today despite repeated attempts by Hegseth & Trump begging them to please clap was encouraging, & should be an example to all troops when they try to exploit them for partisan politics. bsky.app/profile/atru...

The generals and admirals at Quantico today should be forgiven if they walked out of the auditorium and wondered: What on earth is wrong with the commander in chief? www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

HEY CORPORATE MEDIA, Say it with me. Your headline is REPUBLICAN CONGRESS FAILS TO FUND GOVERNMENT: SHUTDOWN IMMINENT Let me know if you need any help with this

One of the great heroes of the planet has died. Giving thanks for the life and work of Dr. Jane Goodall. ❤️

Swear her in.

An incredibly important election in a tiny country just went the right way. Moldova has resisted a huge Russian disinformation campaign and will not become a Russian puppet state.

Keep talking, Howard, keep talking.

Good. Make them pay for their abuse of power. apple.news/AkLUmWI_pTs2...
