I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

The Secretary of Homeland Security responds to the voluntary dismissal of an immigration lawsuit: "Suck it."

i think it is bad that high level public officials do not respect the offices they hold or the public they are supposed to serve

hey DOGE. Found more waste than you did.

There is no plan. There is no 3D chess. The president has a toddler’s understanding of the economy and will continue to just do things (and then undo them, and then do them again).

I know Great Barrington well and it is extremely hard to imagine any scenario on this earth in this small town that would require cops to roll out like they're going to war.

It’s really striking how irregular the bands of mostly men conducting federal immigration enforcement are. They seem to have no particular uniform, they wear a variety of different agency initials on their tactical vests, or none at all, they’re inconsistent about displaying a badge…

really important point/observations here. goes beyond masks and not showing badges.

The incompetence is not tempering the malice. Sure, they’re not methodical like European fascists but the street terrorism, roiling fraud, economic mayhem, and thug tactics don’t need science or bureaucracy - and can extinguish democracy, & plenty of humans, all on their own.

A man pulled up to a gas station to fill up his truck. ICE agents surrounded him and took him away. But his children were left behind. “They arrested someone,” witness said. “They left the children inside the truck.” www.sfgate.com/centralcoast...

So let me get this straight: masks are bad and un-American if worn to fight a pandemic, but good if worn by people claiming to be government agents when they kidnap people off the street

Could you imagine the response if a democratic president said they didn’t know if they had to uphold the Constitution? How fast would the articles of impeachment be drawn ? 20 minutes at the most

This is what ICE does: just like they stalked the family’s car and smashed the windows in to kidnap them. They attack people on the streets grab them and take them to concentration camps. Entire neighborhoods gather to protect little babies & their moms from being separated & kidnapped.

one thought i have reading this (great) thread is that the administration has been proceeding as if there is no chance they will ever face a crisis or a sudden challenge, and has destroy its capacity to respond to one should it arise

Having now watched the footage and interview two of the members who were there, the amount of armed, masked federal agents surrounding three members of Congress and a mayor outside the ICE facility was totally unnecessary; the only possible reason for it was intentional escalation and intimidation.

I  know your goal is to try to make life as hard as possible for immigrants.

This is the right approach — speak to them as you would an especially stupid child, spell out their crimes and your contempt clearly.

I think we need to bring back heckling facists

A lot of people are misconstruing this and to put it bluntly a lot of these people are going to restaurants etc like normal and I'm saying we should refuse service and verbally mock them in public. They should be as afraid of going in public as boy band members at the height of their careers

Pay attention to how we are losing the EV race www.wsj.com/business/aut...

“My Republican friends” Jesus Christ, get bent

what a complete idiot.

You’ll be forced to give birth but don’t worry we’ll make sure you don’t get Medicaid and mock you because you can’t afford a stroller or dolls.

crazy that an influx of dense infill housing can lower prices and make homeownership more attainable

AOC: Tom Homan said he was going to refer me to DOJ because I’m using my free speech rights in order to advise people of their constitutional protections… to that I say: Come for me… Do I look like I care? There’s nothing illegal about it and if they want to make it illegal, they can come take me.
