Rep. Dan Goldman called it out: masked ICE agents hiding from cameras while detaining migrants in plainclothes isn’t law enforcement—it’s authoritarianism. If it’s legal, why the disguise? This is Trump’s two-faced fascism. Protesters get punished for masks—agents get power. This is not democracy.

In Missouri, overturning the will of voters has almost become the legislature’s main business. Lawmakers wasted no time moving to undo a constitutional amendment that legalized abortion up to fetal viability. By @jeremykohler.bsky.social‬

A Trump ally has told CNN’s parent company that they could avoid future lawsuits from the Trump administration if they make a documentary about Melania Trump or a TV show about Donald Trump Jr., which would involve paying the Trump family large amounts of money.

I hope he's proud. As the richest man on the planet, he could be doing so much good for so many. Instead, he's spreading suffering and death and is proud of it while claiming empathy is the enemy of democracy.

SCOOP: Elon Musk will not be fully exiting DOGE. In fact, federal workers from at least six agencies tell WIRED that DOGE-style work is escalating in their departments, and President Trump himself said in a press conference today that “Elon's really not leaving.”

Are we "great" yet? From the article: Saroukos (the wife of an officer in the US Army) said she’s sharing her experience to warn people of the increased risks of traveling to the U.S. “It’s made it physically impossible for me to even ever enter the United States ever again,” she said.

Briefly wandered over to The Other Place to gauge the response to the NASA budget devastation to encounter a bunch of gleeful 'we spend too much money, so this is great.' TO BE, ONCE AGAIN, PERFECTLY CLEAR, THE BUDGET REQUEST MOVES ALL THIS MONEY TO DEFENSE. IT SPENDS IT. NO MONEY IS SAVED.

🚨 Trump’s power grabs are being dragged through the courts, & his TARIFFS could drive up prices & tip the economy toward a RECESSION. With all that CHAOS on their plate, Repubs should be laser-focused on SOLVING PROBLEMS Instead, they’re still obsessed with Biden. www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

Hiding their faces, hiding their names by using pens to hold their pocket flaps up, hiding their names. ICE agents have “consciousness of guilt,” know they are committing crimes. They need to be unmasked, named, and charged #UnmaskICE

Unbelievable! Today, San Diego witnessed a government-sanctioned kidnapping. ICE stormed Buona Forchetta in military gear ripping workers away, then unleashing tear gas and smoke on the terrified community. Full on police state, fascism now used on American citizens. Stay aware. #OnYourSide

At a town hall, Senator Joni Ernst was confronted by voters saying that Medicaid cuts will kill them. Her response? "Well, we all are going to die." There's a campaign bumper sticker for you! "Vote GOP - We're all going to die anyway!" 😒😒😒 Fuck her.

After my post on vaccinating my children when they were babies, I got asked to have ‘nuanced’ convos with antivaxxers. No. I’m not platforming lies that led to the drop in vaccines, sick children with lifelong impacts and dead children. Vaccines save lives and protect health. Period.

"Support for Democrats among male voters dropped most dramatically when the party’s presidential candidate was a woman — and rebounded when the party nominated a man." So, men are misogynistic. Quite the news flash.

The amount of money Trump is stuffing into his pockets is unprecedented and unfortunately barely noticed. But what really pisses me off is he's making hundreds of millions of dollars while taking food from kids, jobs from veterans, and health care from people with disabilities.

At the end of the day, construction worker shortages are gonna determine what if anything gets built in the US. There's no amount of deregulation that can overcome a shortage of 750k construction workers - a third of whom are foreign born, roughly 13% undocumented - and oppressive ICE crackdowns.
