Performative public lying is a hallmark of far right authoritarian parties

Yes, America stands with Israel and always will. And yes, Iran has been the Middle East’s greatest source of death & terror these past 45 yrs. But also yes, Trump is a reckless, psychopathic idiot who believes he’s above the law and who’s surrounded by incompetent sycophants. Have a nice Monday.

Someone has gone through and actually run the numbers on molestation crimes against children. The politicians who commit these crimes are overwhelmingly Republican. 67% of politicians convicted between February 10, 2023 and May 23, 2024 nationwide were Republicans. www.whoismakingnews.com

Trump has unilaterally conducted illegal strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities and therefore started a war between the United States and Iran on behalf of the Israeli government without authorization by the congress, in opposition to the constitution and congressional war powers.

AOC: “It is absolutely and clearly grounds for impeachment.”

According to locals in the region, ICE troops are still getting doxed. Protestors are appearing outside their homes, apartments, and hotels at 3am to bang on pots & blast horns to disrupt their sleep. In other areas resistance are disabling their tires wherever parked. #StopICE

Where is ICE taking the women???

A brave 20 year old US citizen that stood up to ICE, Adrian Andrew Martinez, disappeared by the regime. His family currently unable to find him after being kidnapped by regime troopers. His mother: "I have no idea where he's at. I don't know if he's okay. I'm really worried right now." #StopICE

What's the difference between Gestapo and ICE? Gestapo showed their faces when they demanded to see your papers.

ROSEN: Given the rise in antisemitic violence & to show that the Trump admin does have a 0 tolerance policy for antisemitism, will you dismiss Ms. Kingsley from her role as military spox? HEGSETH: She does a fantastic job... you're attempting to win political points R: You are not a serious person

The military, US military, is coming for Americans.

I cannot express this enough: If and when the tide turns away from fascism, you cannot mistake a ceasefire for peace. They never, ever want peace. You must persecute those responsible to the ends of the earth. You must make future generations fear a repeat of their fate.

SLOTKIN: Have you given the order to be able to shoot at unarmed protesters in any way? HEGSETH: What is that based on? SLOTKIN: It is based on Trump giving that order to your predecessor, who I give a lot of credit to bc he didn't accept the order. He has more guts & balls than you

Genuine Question because I Do not understand… so if these men roll up in plain clothes and masks, grab a human being… even a child, and throw them in an unmarked vehicle I am just supposed to look the other way and say nothing ?? Ask Nothing ?

Make this go viral.

Duckworth to Hegseth: "You are blowing through money like my fellow cadets and I did in our first liberty after basic camp. Luckily I didn't end up with a questionable tattoo ... you're just an unqualified yes man who can't tell the president how to keep Americans safe."

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

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

If this group of men jumped out of a van and grabbed someone in your neighborhood, a friend, family member, or you. What's your reaction going to be?

As a former Republican who still speaks with Republicans daily, I wholeheartedly endorse asking every Republican you know this question.👇

“Be a man” is the best part

Gonna level with you bro I think DHS needs to be dissolved after this. Regardless of what national security functions fall under its remit, it's clearly institutionally constructed in such a way allows it to be used as an unaccountable tool of executive power. Can't reform your way out of that.

ICE is out of control. By design.

Prayers for an “allergic reaction.” But mockery and hateful conspiracies for murder victims who aren’t in your tribe. With no apology or remorse. Fake Christian, small man.

Spitting in Mike Lee’s face is the most collegial gesture he deserves at this point

ICE is abducting lawmakers and citizens. In the USA. Abducting humans.

BREAKING NEW YORK (AP) — New York City comptroller and Democratic mayoral candidate Brad Lander was arrested by federal agents at an immigration court Tuesday as he was trying to accompany a person out of a courtroom.

Keep pushing back at their lies. We aren’t protesting Trump because we hate the United States. We are protesting because we hate what Donald Trump is doing to the United States.

Fuck this shit

Context note: DOJ doesn’t turn over evidence to Congress if they have a viable investigation in the works.

This is well stated. Mike Lee will forever be associated in my mind with his unbelievably cruel and stupid tweets about the Hortman assassination. He is a disgrace to the Senate and Utah.

People in the GOP made fun of Nancy Pelosi's husband being nearly beaten to death with a hammer. You cannot shame these people. You cannot demand they adhere to social norms. They gleefully, willfully spread misinformation about attacks they provoke. They can only be punished.

A top staffer to Sen. Tina Smith emailed Sen. Mike Lee’s top staffers on Monday about “how much additional pain you’ve caused on an unspeakably horrific weekend” Full emails below

A federal judge has ordered the National Institutes of Health to reinstate hundreds of millions of dollars in grants canceled by the Trump admin, saying the terminations were illegal and discriminatory.
