So the tariff money he brags about is just gonna go to covering the cost of Trump lawsuits against America? Filling his pockets while regular Americans prepare for massive job layoffs?

They are hiding in homes from a paramilitary secret police force that is trying to ship them off to detention centers where others have been murdered. Where is the lie?

So Obama didn’t take your guns and Joe Biden didn’t take your guns but Trump “you can’t have guns. You can’t walk around with guns.” Unless you’re a Trump supporter who carries guns to BLM protests and murders people, of course.

And this should not be taken as an out for Senate Dems to waiver on refusing additional DHS funding. This is not a “one bad apple” scenario.

I am just gonna say it, these guys are completely emasculated by the knowledge that they have been out-organized by a group that is significantly made up of women, and all the bullshit call of duty nonsense is cope for their wounded egos bsky.app/profile/jeet...

A thread of MAGA protesting with guns and not getting murdered for it... Arizona, November 2020

Yes, Kristi Noem should be impeached. What we're seeing in the news scares me to death. DHS got $191 billion in the Big Ugly Bill, and she has not come before @democrats-judiciary.house.gov to explain to the American people and Congress how she's using that money.

I’m sorry. Did I miss the part where they called for DHS to remove federal agents from Greater MN as the first step to de-escalation? Cuz without that this is embarrassingly weak but on brand for every company listed.

Walz: "It's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of our state, and today that campaigned claimed another life. I've seen the video from several angles and it's sickening. But I have a strong statement here for our federal govt: Minnesota's justice system will have the last word."

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz: "I call on all Americans to see the decency that this state is exhibiting and the horrific cruelty, unprofessional absolute abomination that is passing for what these ICE agents are doing on these streets."

“This Administration is demonstrating an ongoing pattern of co-opting & misusing laws that were passed to protect Black people from white supremacy to, now, protect white supremacy by silencing its critics.” @jbrownedianis.bsky.social via @therootdotcom.bsky.social www.theroot.com/civil-rights...

This is literally what they said in the Washington Post about LA in June of 2025. The fainting couch disbelief that Americans will push back against tyranny would be funny if it weren’t getting people killed.

I know in my heart that the Siege of Minneapolis will go down as one of the biggest political blunders/grossest abuses of federal power in American history. Just a matter how long that consensus takes. Next week? Next year? Next decade?

Is our national memory too short to remember Abu Ghraib?

The consequence of 92% of Black women saying no to tyranny in 2024.

Is the answer “The United States” cuz he’s already doing that.

Reminds me of last summer in Los Angeles when federal immigration agents tried to declare an unlawful assembly to disperse a crowd they had no idea how to control because they lacked the training to do so — only to realize they needed to ask the local cops, who they’d ignored, to do that. Mess.

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

💯 this is not sustainable. Any Senate Dem voting to fund and sustain this violence against the American people is complicit. Period.

Friends, this is unsustainable. We will not make it for 3 years. The American people have never and won’t ever abide by this level of tyranny. It’s not in the DNA. A reactions is inevitable.

Hard to believe The Onion can even stay in business with headlines like these. Full on dystopia. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/12/c...

Is someone compiling a list of alleged fraud and abuse in red states involving federal dollars? Would be interesting to see.

So US tax payers fund secret police and black sites on American soil now? I hope federal workers have prepared for another shutdown at the end of Jan. Democrats cannot pass a bill that funds this violence.

This is so funny to me. The Exxon bros do not like Trump. Like, did he call Rex “Trump is an effing moron” Tillerson before the meeting and they laughed at Trump as the pregame?

These are straight up White Citizen Council talking points. That the people who defeated this scourge once are here to see it crawl back out from America’s underbelly 60 years later, breaks my heart.

This is called a coverup

The Trump Regime Smear Machine is now a taxpayer funded venture that smears victims of state violence by justifying their killing. This should be familiar, it is a common practice in the aftermath of police shootings of black people (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Thinking of Heather Heyer today.

The shooting in Minneapolis is a sad reminder of what a professor told me last fall for a @opinion.bloomberg.com column. “There is not a world where we keep doing this and there isn't someone who dies as a result of the stupidly useless and manufactured confusion.” www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

Five years ago, the deadly Jan. 6 insurrection that Trump incited wasn’t a failure. It was an unfinished coup that Trump has spent his second term bringing to chaotic fruition. My latest @globeopinion.bsky.social column.

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting was dissolved today after 58 years of service. CPB board members said the combination of Trump/GOPers stripping its federal funding + sustained political attacks “made it impossible” for it to continue operating. www.huffpost.com/entry/latest...

Good god. Isn’t the answer: The Venezuelan government is running Venezuela. And while Trump may have wanted a puppet in place, he had no plan to install one. Which is why he is now threatening “a fate worse than Maduro” toward the sitting VP.

A must read: “To begin with, the guys at the front of the room, Trump and those flanking him, seemed to have been cast straight out of an eighties movie about high-school fuck-ups.”

Obama really broke this man’s whole soul. The desperation to replicate peace prizes and commander and chief imagery is just weirdo behavior.

Can't help but feel like this is one of the reasons why the Constitution says If a dude in office does an insurrection, don't let that motherfucker hold office again Bc clearly they cannot be trusted with power & control over the levers of government, & they do not care about democratic constraints

A lawless sociopath controls all the levers of the US government.

“Because history doesn’t judge societies by how long they kept believing the lie — It judges them by when they finally stopped.”

Narrator voice: But the country was, in that very moment, being run by “STUPID” and “INCOMPETENT” people.

The quiet dignity of a self-confident nation.

a little more on one of my favored analogies youtu.be/Msz2daPeTyg

Sacrificing the most vulnerable is not moral clarity.

The House will NOT vote on healthcare before the end of the year - ensuring premiums increase and setting us up for another government shutdown at the end of January. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

Brown: Autocrats don’t fear the disease or the babies dying from whooping cough — they fear the evidence of it, because evidence exposes their failures, demands accountability, and empowers the public.

Franchising hate.

Making admission free to national parks on federal holidays is not woke. Please don’t make their racist arguments for them NPR.

Trump has already lost but is too busy accepting fake awards to care. Make America irrelevant again is apparently the goal.

Twice actually, if we are counting the Kavanaugh stops

Simply amazing that the Supreme Court declared an end to legal race discrimination in the affirmative action case two years ago and now allows overt racism in both immigration arrests and redistricting. Using race to help minorities? Bad. Using it to discriminate against them? Very, very good.
