Democrats should organize a letter with all Govs, statewides, state leg and Congressional leaders to be sent to Trump, Noem et al demanding they stop this masked, police state shit. It’s so far over the line, totally unnecessary and already been exploited to kill a prominent elected official.

It’s instructive about where we’re at that the right likes to accuse people of virtue signaling, where people talk about seemingly positive or noble personal virtues, while this guy sends out a tweet saying “no one asked but I feel the need to tell you all that I don’t care about emancipation”

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

i think it’s not talked about enough that so many christian rightwingers support israel because they want to trigger the end times rapture and they believe supporting israel will ensure this

A much better headline would be … TRUMP TO NEWSOM: MAKE ME ‘LIKE’ YOU OR I’LL LET CALIFORNIA BURN

It took Tucker Carlson to ask this. Corporate media didn't. Democratic establishment didn't.

If random men in masks claiming to be ICE agents try to grab me, and they’re *not* really ICE, I have the legal right to defend myself against them, yes? And if they are ICE, I don’t? So how am I supposed to tell the difference? I’m supposed to give my masked kidnappers the benefit of the doubt??

I still can't get past the idea that people in America are now supposed to accept that this is a valid form of law enforcement and just assume it's fine when random dudes in groups with face-coverings, no ID, no warrant, & no uniform grab people off the street and force them into unmarked vehicles

This is great and all but it’s yet more evidence for my theory that people would generally be much better behaved if SOMEONE PUNCHED THEM IN THE FUCKING MOUTH for shit like what he and his staffers did.

This is continued journalistic malpractice from the @startribune.com normalizing a violent white male suspect. He owned a private security company called Praetorian Guard, traveled overseas to preach against abortion and LGBTQ+ people, and attended a bible college that preaches "violent prayer."

With respect to this top staffer and their grief, I think this is a mistake. For Mike Lee and the sort of people who would work for him, it’s great news that they caused more pain to Democrats. They have no decency to which one could appeal. They will consume this with laughter, not regret.

Trump and Miller going more insane than usual means the protests are working. They thought the public would cower in fear of morons wearing camo in the middle of a city and instead they got flipped off and shown asses

Conservative protests are always treated as an organic cry of anger that manifests the distress of the unjustly ignored American heartland; protests from the center-left are always written off as noise from inside the bubble.

Once again the correct response to this is to immediately push for a huge amnesty bill. If farm, hotel, and restaurant workers are so vital to the country that even donald trump can admit it, they should all be getting green cards now

The Tea Party protests in April 2009 had about a third of a million people involved, and the political media treated it like a game changer for the Obama presidency. The No Kings rallies were AT LEAST ten times bigger than the Tea Party protests. Will the press keep pretending Trump is popular?

Trump looking absolutely inconsolable at his fascist-themed 79th birthday party which no one turned up to other than those who had to because he's their boss.

just watched this netflix documentary on the oklahoma city bombing and once again i'm struck by how so many of the popular media takes on this event just avoid entirely the connection to organized white supremacism

Boy, Pam Bondi is real fucking quiet about political assassinations after being real quick to make statements about burning Teslas.

They launched a coup, suffered no consequences for it, won back power, and have used the power to pardon everyone involved while remaking the country through violence and intimidation. It’s just ridiculous to talk about the political violence of yelling at ICE agents within that context.

Any person in uniform wearing a mask and refusing to be properly and reliably identified should be assumed to be the same kind of murderer we’ve seen in Minnesota.

In just one week: A GOP president deployed Marines in a U.S. city, called for a Democratic governor’s arrest, the GOP Speaker called for him to be tarred and feathered, a Democratic senator was handcuffed, and two Democratic legislators were shot in their homes.

FLASHBACK — ROGAN: “If taking a baby from her mother doesn’t freak you out you’re not part of the team, man. You’re missing it… You’re an as*hole.”

Protest works. But there was no way for Trump to keep his “mass deportation” promise without terrorizing non-criminals, traumatizing communities, and implementing cruelty. Anyone who thought otherwise was being foolish.

Imagine if Cuban took the perspective that it would be weird to pivot your entire politics to persecute 10 people in the entire country just trying to do sports. Instead of whatever the fuck this is.

A few key points: - Senator Padilla is the ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration, Citizenship, and Border Safety - He identified himself as a Senator - Right before this happened Noem literally said she was there to liberate Los Angeles from its elected leadership

10 days ago Hakeem Jeffries said House Ds would "respond in a time, place, and manner of our choosing" & the response would "be continuous and it will meet the moment" after a Nadler aide was handcuffed. He has done nothing. If he had courage Dems would file impeachment resolutions vs Noem today.

Do something dramatic like walk out of there with the 46 other Democrats and march on the DHS headquarters, or the White House. It's not business as usual. You really expect "answers" from a fascist regime?

When a cabinet member announces "We are using the military to liberate an American city from its elected leaders," where do you go from there. What is left to say. The idea of that being anything short of a near-universal "Wait, what the fuck is going on" moment proves how far we've backslid.

This is what happens to a US senator in 2025 under Donald Trump asking questions

The strategy is to do your Constitutionally-approved job and make them stop you. Make them show the world that they violate the Constitution. Make them show where they draw the lines and how they want to exercise power.

It’s completely insane that US troops are illegally deployed to suppress domestic opposition and it’s not uniformly condemned by the press and political elite.

“IF THEY SPIT, WE WILL HIT, and I promise you they will be hit harder than they have ever been hit before. Such disrespect will not be tolerated!”—trump. Yet he pardoned more the 1500 violent criminals who attacked me and my colleagues.

Every major Dem politician needs to realize that, in this environment, they can schedule a "speech to the nation," like Newsom did, and get tons of media coverage. Just do it.

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.

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

The Trump's DOJ is paying *$5 million* to the family of a woman who got shot because she 1) trespassed on federal property; 2) tried to break into a closed chamber of federal officials; and 3) ignored law enforcement commands to stop. 🎶 just a reminder 🎶

So am I allowed to call these people Nazis yet or do I need to wait for Charlie to be able to grow a hitlerstache

PSA: If you think a guy standing on a vandalized Waymo car with a Mexican flag is a bigger issue than the president calling for the arrest of a governor for no reason, you may have lost the plot.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

Everyone should say it: The thing about Stephen Miller is not that he is the brains behind Trumpism. Yes, he is one of the people who conceptualizes the impulses of the Trumpist movement and translates them into policy. But that's not what's interesting about Miller. It's not brains. It's bile.

We need to stand up for @terrymoranabc.bsky.social

gonna be honest that i think the only way is through and at this point that means people in LA should start doing very silly and increasingly funny things in a sporadic and hard to predict manner that breaks the ability of any centralized entity to respond in a coherent and controlled manner

Hey everyone, you want to know a fun factoid? Almost all of the federal agents currently in LA aren’t local, which means they’re staying at a hotel somewhere. Hotels have fire alarms. Wanna know another fun fact? If protests start popping off in other states, they can’t be everywhere at once.
