“DHS is shutting down because it refuses to obey the law” is excellent framing

Because it’s not really about trying to get troops to vote Republican-that would be bad enough. It’s about conditioning the military to obey a man and not their oath to the Constitution. It’s why Hegseth & Trump were so adamant about prosecuting the 6 Dems who spoke up about it.

True story.

My new piece is up and it requires your URGENT ATTENTION! open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

Not sure who needs to hear this but the voter fraud rate is a mere 0.000003%. Anyone telling you otherwise is making shit up so they can take away your right to vote.

Not digging on governor Pillen trying to get Turning Point USA in every Nebraska school.

Can we talk about how batshit crazy it was for Trump to post that China was going to permanently cancel the Stanley Cup if Canada signs a trade deal with them, or do we just assume at this point that he’s completely psychotic?

“Relax your tight ass”…one of my favorite Super Bowl commercials. Get tested!

If you didn’t understand what was great about that halftime show you don’t understand what is great about America. Or should be.

Powerful.

I’m not sure we’ve properly addressed how profoundly disturbing it is that America can largely shrug at the stashing of human beings in giant warehouses.

Can we not know the name of the alleged staffer posting racist shit from Trump’s account, or would that be “doxing” too? 1. What is this person’s name? 2. How many of Trump’s posts, which impact the markets & foreign policy, are being made by this person? 3. Have they been fired?

go off jack white

When you're so coked up and stupid you put the scope on backwards:

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

There are literally emails between Epstein and gargantuan GOP donor Peter Thiel like "as discussed we shud distroy society" and yet the right wing propaganda machine is smearing Lutheran soccer moms as being on Soros's payroll.

just learned that Justice Sam Alito has a book coming out in October called "So Ordered: An Originalist’s View of the Constitution, the Court, and Our Country" and wow I already hate it

i can't believe that after a decade of this bullshit the framing of all this trump authoritarian blather is still "omg what if he does this" and not "this is prohibited by 250 years of american history and also the constitution"

Yes, some of the things that the EU regulates don't exist in the US. But CSAM production and dissemination is illegal in both jurisdictions. Say that ELon is trying to monetize child sexual abuse and all of a sudden it's simply about basic crime.

Goldman Sachs’ top lawyer Kathy Ruemmler sought Jeffrey Epstein’s help to secure a top job at Facebook just months before the sex offender’s arrest, and advised him on how to respond to press coverage of his crimes. ft.trib.al/P3CyJeg

"Unusual" would not have been the word used if Biden had spoken with the FBI agents who were searching Mar-a-Lago.

exactly. this is not difficult. as.ft.com/r/58ed1b23-d...

EVERCORE: “DOGE failed.”

It is highly possible he didn’t think it through.

Local people do not doxx their local police - none of whom wear masks. People who doxx do this so otherd will know the names and faces of people who are violating the Constitutional rights of others. Play nice and no one will be doxxing you. Is that so hard to understand? 🤷‍♂️

we absolutely need to know who he sent this to. how is this something the public is being kept in the dark on???

massive cash discrepancy here too (check Taniel’s threaded post). money just doesn’t matter when people are furious — and nothing could be more terrifying to gop donors than that.

cover of The Economist this week

Scrolling through the photos of Pam Bondi's "Minnesota rioters," it's just hero after hero. Every photo includes a cowardly DHS agent with their back to the camera. Bondi thinks she's going to win the propaganda war with this shit, but it's never been more clear that they're losing.

It's not quite the most pressing issue at the moment, but the American people absolutely have a right to know the names of the federal officials who shot and killed a man peacefully protesting, who was on his knees, prone in the street when they shot him in the back.

One armed goon loses his shit at an observer who's backing up, and then several more armed goons tackle the observer to the ground, and then even more armed goons form a protective shield around the armed goons handcuffing the observer for hurting an armed goon's feelings. This can't be "reformed"

This hit so fucking hard today.

Indeed. I’m enjoying the schadenfreude but I’m no dummy.

It’s still the Kennedy Center It’s still the Gulf of Mexico It’s still the Department of Defense It’s still Twitter If you have any other Q’s feel free to ask us

One of the best things I’ve read in a while:

Rest in Peace Alex Jeffrey Pretti🙏🏾 The VA ICU Nurses send him off right 💔

The nurses are pissed

I spent the most formative years of my political life reading headlines like this seemingly every week.

It appears that this legend owns a little bookstore — and you can order books from him instead of Bezos. Link in next post.

A decent man. RIP. Both of them.

For those asking where we go from here: Not voting to fund ICE is a great place for us to start.

I am trying not to post on these events in this state of mind but: I hope people understand what the observers are doing is brave and dangerous.

Both of Nevada's senators--Catherine Cortez Masto and Jacky Rosen--have officially come out against the DHS funding bill following the execution of Alex Pretti by ICE agents in Minneapolis this morning. This effectively ends the DHS funding bill in the Senate.

This would be a really good moment for Democrats to start acting more like a political party than a Ponzi scheme.

Protester in Minneapolis just before disappearing in gas: "Fuck you! Stop. Damn! I'm 70 years old and I'm fuckin' angry!"
