"I'm with the executive branch. This warrant, issued by the executive branch, says I can enter your home"

Guys. I don’t think he saw the movie.

Once again: you could do worse than live your life according to the corporal works of mercy

Very disturbed by reports that some agents were not spit upon.

#SCOTUS is likely to do the right thing in the Lisa Cook case. But it's worth bearing in mind that this idea that the Fed is some bespoke exception to the unitary executive theory is utterly incoherent as a matter of both law and history—and is really just proof that the UET is itself bollocks:

my entire timeline right now:

May we all live our lives in a way that we can go more than an hour without being seen before the world starts hoping maybe today's the day 🤣

If we all start going "That isn't Donald Trump, that's clearly a body double" I bet we can make everyone in the White House lose their minds within a week. But we have to _commit_ to it.

Trying to watch Starfleet Academy. I'm 20 minutes in, and I'm honestly so bored.

Today is National Thesaurus Day. Personally, we find these made-up holidays contemptible, abhorrent, nauseating, repugnant, and unpalatable.

Evertime I sit through a spelling bee, my main thought is I can't spell nearly as well as I think I can, lol.

"Good is not a meaningful vector in history. Only strength." - Donald Trump or Kevin McCallister?

the wildest thing is right-wingers acting like minnesotans in videos must be outside agitators when we can all hear their accents. i don't think i could do that accent convincingly if i spent a year practicing. and neither would i wish to. have you heard that shit? craziest american accent

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports. And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.” Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

President Trump is once again threatening to invoke the Insurrection Act, this time in Minneapolis. That would be a flagrant and particularly dangerous abuse of the Act—one that would threaten the rule of law and public safety alike. 1/13

I do think that Portland was onto something with the frog costumes and costumes in general. It is hard to frame ICE violence as acceptable when they’re filmed beating people who are dancing in costumes.

Hours before Trump is due to meet María Corina Machado, the Nobel Peace Center restates: "A medal can change owners, but the title of a Nobel Peace Prize laureate cannot."

sinema is up there with joe lieberman on my list of people whose faces make me break out in rage hives but you gotta respect her commitment to being a terrible human being 24/7, few politicians have ever reached this level of "fuck you I got mine"

Calling the State out for speculating about what the jury was thinking. Really want to write "the State's psychic abilities notwithstanding..." Tragically too snarky even for me (not a low bar), so I'll write it here instead, lol.

Protesters staying too peaceful? Well, if they won't fuck up the street, have ICE fuck it up then say they had to because of the protesters. Just because it's largely ICE is doing the insurrecting doesn't mean that isn't cause to invoke the insurrection act.

🔥 From @statuscoupnews.bsky.social : “This is nuts. What the fuck is going on? I’ve never protested in my life… they tell you it’s immigrants — it’s fucking anybody. They’re just trying to scare people. I’m not paid to be here. I have to work in the morning. This is wrong.”

emergency shut the fuck up Friday has been declared for all future public defender needers

Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.

Non-protesting dad just trying to hustle his kids, as young as 6mo, out of the neighborhood. ICE threw a flash-bang INTO HIS car, all 6 kids in the hospital now. If anyone wondered how things turn against occupying armies there's a case study playing out in front of you.

Minnesotans are built different. It looks fucking *cold.* Imagine protesting in that shit. Y'all are incredible.

AS I SAID

This dude rules

The flopsweat desperation of an administration that can feel the walls closing in, just smashing and grabbing everything they can before the reckoning comes. And it's coming in one form or another -- the Epstein Files, Trump's death spiral, maybe just the midterm elections. And they all know it.

The parody of the Democratic party in Fallout season 2 is not subtle. Though as ineffective as the Congresswoman is in the show, she's somehow still more willing to get in the street than most Ds today. "Fighting the good fight is mostly a series of humiliations" is certainly... one approach, lol.

Let’s talk about abolishing ICE. Very few people who say “abolish ICE” mean “abandon all immigration enforcement.” Rather, they mean “the structure of immigration enforcement is irretrievably broken and needs to be reorganized, just like we did 23 years ago when we created ICE.” /1

I really want people to understand that CBP is arguably as bad or worse than ICE. CBP was engaged in horrible behavior back when ICE was mostly doing custody transfers. Over-fixating on ICE doesn’t solve it. We really need a comprehensive overhaul of the DHS monstrosity when this is over.

Those ATMs (eg www.ecoatm.com/pages/law-en... ) require government ID and photograph the seller/compare the ID. If the local PD doesn't arrest the person responsible they aren't doing their job.

No problem, because this is true.

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

"Motion for extension of time due to inability to focus while our republic crumbles around us at shocking speed." What's that? That's not going to work at all? Fine, I'll work then, damnit.

To be clear, if I have to choose between fraud and roving gangs violently harassing my neighborhood allegedly trying to root out the fraud, I choose the fraud. I always choose the fraud. Who the fuck wouldn't pick the fraud?

Elected officials have to stop posting like bystanders who have no power.
