From the Washington Post: Which photo shows Tehran and which photo show Minneapolis?

The “if she had complied, she’d still be alive” line that we’re hearing from ICE defenders is the mantra of apologists for security forces in dictatorships through the ages.

Exactly! We can all do better- but some, starting with the President of the United States, have got to do a whole lot better.

Republicans are covering up for pedophiles. That's what's happening right now. No other explanation for not releasing the Epstein files, believing the survivors, or transferring Ghislaine Maxwell to a minimum security camp.

The US president trafficked & raped underage girls, the evidence is overwhelming, everyone knows it, and this country's elites & institutions are so broken, so insular, so decadent that we can't even bring ourselves to state it clearly, much less do anything about it. Contemptible & pathetic.

I just want to say for the record that when the history books are written centuries from now, I believe the election of Donald Trump in a free and fair election in 2024 will go down as one of the most senseless and self-destructive own goals in human history

Chris Murphy: "This is the most deeply immoral piece of legislation I have ever voted on in my entire time in Congress."

The Confederacy took up arms and killed US. Citizens for the right to continue to live in states that legalized enslavement. A crime against the US, God, and human morality and decency.

Counterpoint: Robert E. Lee was a treasonous loser who gladly slaughtered his fellow Americans in defense of slavery while being a mildly above average military tactician. He should’ve been hanged in Lexington.

Absolutely 💯 ‼️

His promises to lower prices, end the wars in Gaza & Ukraine, and increase American manufacturing have been shown to be the lies most of us knew them to be. He oozes weakness on every front and only has corruption, chaos & cruelty to show for his time in office.

The original sin was failing to send Donald Trump to prison for the rest of his life for mounting a violent coup to overthrow the election of 2020.

The payouts to Babbitt’s family, the pardons of J6 insurrectionists and war criminals, and the growing push on the right to exonerate Chauvin all show that the GOP will forgive any crime if they see it as defending the set of hierarchies they believe constitutes the real America.

If Bill Clinton raped girls on Epstein’s island or other properties, he should rot in prison for the rest of his life. If Donald Trump raped girls on Epstein’s island or other properties, he should rot in prison for the rest of his life. That wasn’t so difficult, was it?

He’s a disgrace.

You’d think when you’re claiming the richest country in the world can’t afford childhood cancer research you might wait a year before throwing yourself a 100 million dollar birthday parade. But carpe diem, suckers.

The question of if a country could fuck itself harder than the UK did with Brexit has today been answered.

Sadly, this is precisely correct.

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

What if in the end we find out America is a horrible country with horrible leaders and horrible citizens when all along we thought we were the good guys?

She speaks the truth we all know to be true.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

www.nytimes.com/2025/01/30/u... Shouldn’t all Americans be deeply offended by this so called leader’s refusal to lead?

Using the American Airlines/Blackhawk helicopter tragedy to trash Obama and Biden and praise himself is as malicious as it is typical of this narcissist. — Shame on all of you who voted for Trump as President. This monster and his actions will be your responsibility. Forever.

MAGA, you're in a death cult following an incompetent leader who doesn't care about you. Alas. You chose this.

What’s the ultimate goal (besides lining the pockets of Billionaire donors)? To make the US a hell on earth?

Everything is dumb and terrible, and it's gonna be dumb and terrible for a while. It’s important to do what you can to make it less dumb and terrible, and it's important to find a way make some contentment for yourself in spite of everything being dumb and terrible.

Be a Jimmy Carter Christian, not a trump/evangelical Christian. Stay humble, vulnerable and spend most of your time and energy making the world better for others.

Remember this: Jimmy Carter put solar panels on the White House and Ronald Reagan took them down. Jimmy Carter was correct, and Reagan, who seemed to act out of strength at the time, was wrong. The cruel, ugly, divisive things trump will do, simply because he can, will be as wrong as Reagan was.

Harris would have been an excellent president. She would have had capable advisers. She would have transformed the Dem Party with muscular progressivism. I’m still not over it

Happy birthday Jesus

This is exactly who we are as a nation now.

A post by the official account of the DNC.

just blurted out in class "yes, you have to cite where you got your info. in a world in which lying loudly is the only thing that seems to get rewarded, citing your sources is an act of resistance" and folks, I really believe that.

Ouch. #presidentmusk

Discussing blanket pardons draws us off of the real issue, the concern that Trump will pervert the criminal justice system & use DOJ as a political tool, which is forcing the Biden administration into these considerations. Don't forget why we're here.
