What Schumer is telling you here is that his strategy is just to whine about how bad things are. That's it. Just whine, and hope that wins the midterms. Replace this man. Come on. He's done.

I’ll never get tired of this ad at our local indie theater 😂

I am going to be honest that if you aren’t sure whether or not it would be good if the fascists kill a prominent anti-fascist activist with whom you have developed an inscrutable parasocial antagonism, I really doubt the sincerity of your commitment to leftism or anti-fascism

I just joined Rep. Robin Kelly‘s articles of impeachment against Kristi Noem. Under her direction, DHS and ICE are creating chaos, and endangering lives in our communities with impunity. I’m fighting to restore accountability by leading commonsense bills like the No Masks For ICE Act.

I will add: if they're doing good things, call to thank them. I called today to thank @friedman.house.gov for co-sponsoring the bill to impeach Kristi Noem.

Keep calling these chumps and tell them ICE OUT OF OUR CITIES is the BARE MINIMUM. Get them OUT right now, and ultimately DEFUND AND ABOLISH. Also, NO to failed "reforms" like training and bodycams that change nothing and just give ICE more money to hurt people. Find your reps here: reps.fyi

@friedman.house.gov Thank you for co-sponsoring this bill! More needed!

A competent opposition political party would cut together the footage of what ICE had been doing in the twin cities with Mike Johnson saying "ICE is doing what ICE is designed to do" and have it in ads all across the country

The day before a WS game my wife and were walking the dog around the stadium and ran into some Jay's fans who looked perplexed. "We just thought there would be, like, a place to grab a beer or something around the ballpark," he said, as I began to laugh to avoid crying.

Having seen several abductions up close, it is really hard to convey how much the thing they’re doing is roaming in military convoys until they see someone who is alone and isn’t white, and then jumping out in large numbers, pulling them into a van, and screeching off, all in 90 seconds or so.

Thank you representative Kelly! @friedman.house.gov is my representative and I wish she would show the same courage!

Folks in the US still like to treat the whole Greenland invasion stuff as sufficiently unserious to engage with, but it is sufficiently serious that NATO allies are actively deploying tripwire forces to deter the US. That is *already* a political and actual cost to them, and to US relationships

ive seen more articles this week about how the phrase “abolish ice” could hurt dems in the midterms than ive seen articles about how paramilitary death squads terrorizing cities will hurt republicans in the midterms

People don't want to accept that the primary reason that we have Trump today is that the previous administration completely failed. It should have never gotten to the point where it was in the so-called hands of the voters. It was already too late by then.

Murphy: The United States Congress should not fund a Department of Homeland Security that is not obeying the laws of the United States of America

These politicians do not understand what is happening in Minneapolis. We are under attack. They’re EVERYWHERE, they’re not making any pretense of doing genuine immigration enforcement. They’re smashing up our neighborhoods. They’re a criminal gang! Training criminals just means better criminals!

Hakeem Jeffries is afraid of a bad poll, meanwhile the observers and neighbors here on the ground in Minneapolis are afraid of being beaten senseless, dragged into a car, and raced out of their neighborhood. They’re not yielding but he is. Consider new leaders, Democrats

When I say abolish ICE isn't enough, this is what I mean. These are all CBP officers willfully and violently violating the rights of a 17 year old US Citizen. He's terrified. And, as far as I can tell, the only reason why is because he's brown. These organizations cannot be reformed.

the most important thing in 2028 is electing someone who is a true believer in the project of dismantling right-wing power. if you don't get that, then nothing else will matter very much.

Just feckless nonsense from my Congresswoman @friedman.house.gov. He should resign? Sure. In the mean time, why don't you do your job and at least *try* and do something about it. Primary her.

This isn't just a casual observation. Fascism scholars have long made this point. It's why calling them "weird" was a more effective strategy than talking about the prices of eggs. Fascism is an aesthetic political movement - you need to make people feel embarassed and horrified by it.

People often believe that diying "licensed" subtrades invalidates homeowner's insurance. Let's explore all the ways in which this is false. Comments are specific to single family homes within the US

In this national environment, if we can't win with Peltola in AK, we likely have bigger problems. This race might be one of the most important to give money to this cycle.

Today seems like a good day to remind your member of Congress Pam Bondi should be impeached.

This just isn't true at all. All of this is exceptionally easy to track down. Maybe there's some truth to the idea it's hard to get political traction for any one offense when he's committing a million a day, but I wouldn't put that in the top ten reasons Why This Is Happening.

this is unsustainably bananas and not impeaching and convicting these crooks grows ever more irresponsible and unpatriotic by the hour

KO'ing everyone's 401k the week they started bragging about murdering citizens in the street on camera is the behavior of people who are on actual drugs. Not metaphorically, it's the behavior of people with underlying mental illness on uppers and steroids who are starting to feel cornered.

we have been way too tolerant of cowards: we should be demanding that far more people in power who claim to be against the murderous evil of MAGA meet the standard currently being demonstrated by Jerome Fucking Powell

But for real.

Not how I wanted to find out the Fed had a bluesky account

Can we maybe stop appointing his judges and funding his government now

did something happen

Gosh, Thom. What you're describing is the kind of blatant abuse of DOJ that might merit impeachment.

They want us to close the shades, hide inside, do what they say. They want us to run away. When they discover that the people they thought they’d intimidate are running TOWARDS them instead, they’ve got nothing. Like all bullies they only feel strong and confident when the victim is defenseless.

Video message from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome H. Powell: www.youtube.com/watch?v=KckG... www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/s...

there are *so* many people who cower before trump's threats, and jerome fucking powell is out here on youtube going, "all of this is corrupt horseshit, they're doing it because i won't bail them out, they're all liars"

hi, political philosopher here! this is not funny, central banks only do this when they're in extreme distress

"i am sorry for what i have done in the past and don't yet know how to fix it, but don't want to make it worse" is legitimately about the level best you can hope for someone like this to say, and it should be strongly encouraged anywhere we see it

Yes the spirit is missing, but first the vision and desire is missing. Lincoln wanted the job because he recognized the moment and wanted the responsibility. Dem leaders feel owed the position and are offended responsibility should be forced upon them.

If the capitol police reacted on Jan 6 the way ICE did in this encounter there would have been dozens dead

Really feels like just telling military to draw up plans to invade an ally should be an impeachable offense regardless of party

We need Democrats in Congress to stand up. Shut everything down. Filibuster until he resigns. Do whatever is necessary. This will destabilize the world order for a generation, if not more. This is a madman who must be stopped.

If there are *any* Democrats in Congress who will still vote to keep funding this administration when it is using that money to terrorize our cities and refusing to allow congressional representatives their clear right to observe their activities, then those reps need to be primaried into retirement

Democrats who want to abolish ice should start introducing legislation to roll back the creation of DHS. It was a specific post 9/11 law that combined previously extant functions into a single new department. Let’s start getting that model legislation out there. (Is it already?)

DOJ is still violating the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

Madison: "A standing military force, with an overgrown Executive, will not long be safe companions to liberty. The means of defense against foreign danger have been always the instruments of tyranny at home." 🧵

Posted by @liminalwarmth.bsky.social: “Someone I personally know in Minneapolis posted this to Facebook a few hours ago. This isn’t what orderly law enforcement looks like. No charge, no location info? How do you even know citizens are getting due process here?”

The tragic death of Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year old mother fatally shot by ICE, shows that ICE can’t be reformed and must be abolished. I’ll be introducing the Abolish ICE Act as a step toward justice, accountability, and humanity in our immigration policy. Time to melt ICE.

This is "civil." The alternative is a lot bloodier.
