Kristi Noem doesn't need your prayers. She's got the super duper healthcare coverage that wealthy Americans hoard for themselves. To be clear, the Americans who don't have healthcare don't need your prayers either. They need universal healthcare.

Calling for civility for Noem after the barbaric shit she has done with a shit-eating grin on her face is a bridge too far. No. Fuck her. She deserves as much mercy as she has shown to others. If people want to mock her then have it. She sent people to be tortured and die.

These people just fucking lie like it's nothing.

To stop political violence, we need dialogue, not division. While Minnesotans grieve, Trump refused to call Gov. Walz after the shooting: 👉 "He's a mess… Why waste time?" This isn't leadership. It's dangerous.

They are saying that Lander (seen here being assaulted) assaulted the DHS officers. An unaccountable state reserves the right to both brutalize you and punish you for being brutalized.

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.

ICE agents are out here manhandling elected officials—yet again. They arrested NYC Comptroller Brad Lander for asking if they had a warrant—which is his constitutional right. (1/2)

Trump HUMILIATED: When Trump started lying at a G7 press conference, Canadian PM Mark Carney cut him off. When Trump tried to continue to LIE, Carney simply ENDED the press conference, and the press left. THANK YOU for showing America how to handle a bully.

I support Terry Moran not ABC I support Scott Pelley not CBS I support Joy Reid not MSNBC I support Jim Acosta not CNN I support independent media not GOP-owned Corporate Media I support Ann Telnaes not the Washington Post I support Paul Krugman not the NYT #SupportIndependentMedia

What was Terry Moran Thinking? He was thinking since the New York Times is too busy sanewashing Trump and too afraid to print the truth that SOMEBODY should do it. F**k that supermarket checkout aisle crossword puzzle book that pretends to be a newspaper.

Billy Long's sole qualification to run the IRS is that, in 2023–24, he ran a large-scale tax fraud operation. I am not making this up.

Constitutionally, a member of the United States Congress from California I.e. Senator Padilla, is the person who is not only supposed to challenge the Executive Branch when it exceeds its constitutional authority, but has a duty to do so The People are sovereign, Sen Padilla acts as their agent 🧵

Trump got over 1 million Americans killed when he sabotaged our COVID response and he still rates that response “a 10 (out of 10).” Yet he claims Gavin Newsom is “causing a lot of death” in California, where NO ONE HAS DIED as a result of protests. The man could not be more UNFIT.

He's a UNICEF goodwill ambassador (not a joke). Thank GOD Trump got him out of America before he spread any goodwill.

it really speaks to how trump does not see himself as a steward of the white house or the presidency but as its owner. he will do with it as he pleases.

No FEMA No Scientists No Education No Weather Predictions No National Intelligence And for what? Are we going to allow a few to ruin it completely for millions? 😶😶😶😶

We aren’t prepared for natural disasters, and DOGE firings and Trump saying we should “wean off FEMA” will only make things worse.

Trump is quicker to deploy the military to a protest than he is to deploy FEMA aid to states digging out from hurricanes and tornados.

Today! At 630pE - You got FEMA questions? @rebelfema.altgov.info has got you covered! #AltGov #AMA

Hegseth is American Taliban and just did what Trump chose him to do: send U.S. troops against Americans. open.substack.com/pub/morgaan/...

the past six months have been the equivalent of the “one week war” and we are approaching a “zeon is exhausted!” moment, i think

"I want y’all to consider what kind of government it appears to be when every time we exercise our democratic right to protest, the military is deployed against us." Read what Doechii said during her #BETAwards2025 speech: rollingstone.com/music/music-...

In 2020, Secretary of Defense Esper and Gen. Mark Milley refused Trump's suggestions to "crack their skulls" and shoot protesters in the legs. That helps explain why Trump was so eager this time to appoint officials, such as Hegseth and Caine, that he viewed as more compliant. bit.ly/4jGDpnS

Who the fuck puts Harvey Fierstein in the preshow?

Trump deployed 2,000 National Guard troops to LA amid protests over ICE deportations, bypassing Governor Newsom’s approval. White House referred to it as a response to “lawlessness.” This marks the first federalization under Title X since 1965, with active-duty Marines on standby.

They brutalized David Huerta, President of SEIU California — just for witnessing. This is Day 4 of the National Strike. The people demand justice, not tyranny. No Marines. No National Guard. ICE out of LA. #NationalStrike #LaborRights #SEIU

Math. Not even once.

LOS ANGELES: Stay off the streets tonight. Stay home. Stay safe. Tom Homan says the National Guard might be deployed — and I’m telling you, he wants violence. They’re baiting us to react so they can escalate. Rule #1: Never protest at night. That’s when the worst happens—under cover of darkness.

ICE raids have become political theater, not policy. The Trump administration wants headlines, not solutions. So when protests erupt and the Guard gets called in, remember, this isn’t a security failure. It’s a script they wrote.

This is the cycle: raid, escalate, criminalize the response, send in troops. ICE raids are not neutral, they’re psychological warfare on communities, and now they’re using military backup. This isn’t enforcement. It’s state-sponsored intimidation.

The National Guard may be deployed in Los Angeles tonight. Not for an earthquake. Not for wildfires. But to silence protests against ICE raids. This is a humanitarian crisis. And peaceful protest is not a crime. It is a cry for dignity. A demand for justice.

And there you have it. ICE didn't target migrant workers in Kristi Noem's farms or Sarah Huckabee Sanders' meatpacking plants because they wanted to create a riot in LA as a pretext to declaring martial law. They don't care about undocumented migrants, they only care about controlling US citizens.

Extensive profiles of the women ICC judges that have been sanctioned/punished by US leaders Their heinous crime? Doing their job, investigating allegations that Israel has broken war rules US D.C. electeds despise the ICC for looking into US war atrocities www.middleeasteye.net/profile/four...

The difference between civilisation & a Rogue state is clearly apparent.The European Union backs ICC whilst the US sanctions court judges aje.io/jvb2al

absolute fucking disgrace

@jamellebouie.net with yet another layer to the problem...

Watch this clip. In just one minute, you get such a clear picture here of both these men's characters. From Merz, statesmanship and moral seriousness about both history (WWII) and today (Ukraine). From Trump, juvenile joking that reveals ignorance and moral squalor. And he knows he's been exposed.

Please listen to the UN General Secretary.

Jonathan Joss was MURDERED. Words matter here. He was MURDERED. it was a HATE CRIME because he is a gay Indigenous man. Say those words. Do not dance around it. He wasn't "killed in a shooting." He was murdered in a hate crime.

The news reports right now are mentioning just that Jonathan Joss was shot and killed "after an argument with a neighbour." The truth is much much worse.

This statement from Jonathan Joss's husband is heart breaking. No, headline writers, he wasn't "killed in an argument with a neighbor." He was *deliberately murdered* for being gay right after his dog was decapitated. Bet the murderer calls himself a "Christian." THIS is why Pride is important.

We have also watched Trump have secret dinners to sell his coin for millions. We have seen Trump ignore all Supreme Court orders. We have seen ICE jail tons of Americans. We have heard Senators and congress not give a shit if we live or die.

Naomi Tutu, daughter of the late Archbishop Desmond Tutu (and an Episcopal priest herself) fully addresses the lie at the heart of the claim of that white South Africans are “refugees.” Amplify her voice. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb... www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...
