“ICE in just a few weeks has transformed itself into the closest thing that the US has ever had to a ‘secret police,’ with more seemingly culturally in common with the Klan nightriders of Reconstruction than their federal agency brethren like the FBI or ATF.” @garrettgraff.bsky.social

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?

it is a shame that no one explained to Dem presidents that being president apparently means you get to do any fucking thing you want

This is disgusting. Slavery still exists in the US, and private prisons and ICE are keeping it alive.

I know many people think Posse Comitatus is an ironclad bar to Trump's Attack on LA. I watched that episode of the West Wing too. But, the law has enough holes for Trump to drive a tank through. And the courts will cower in the face of authoritarianism. My latest in @thenation.com

It's been really demoralizng how much the press mindlessly repeats the lie that the National Guard was sent to quell violence. It was sent to start violence. People know this, so just say it.

CNN is actively assisting the current administration’s narrative that peaceful protestors are violent.

For decades the NRA and other gun nuts told us that their guns were to protect us all from a tyrannical government. So a tyrannical government is here, they are all sitting on their asses, and the people who want gun control have taken to the streets to defy the tyrannical government instead.

More proof that there is no limit to what Trump will post to curry favor with his most ignorant, conspiracy-minded followers.

I had to double check that this was real and yep there's the president sharing a post claiming his predecessor was executed in 2020 and replaced with a robot or a clone I mean CHRIST can the legacy media please normalize calling him unhinged, at the very least

The Murderbot adaptation on Apple TV is fantastic. My only complaint is that the episodes are too short; there’s not a wasted moment in the show.

Elon Musk gave about $250 million more to Republicans than the next closest Democratic billionaire (Bloomberg). Dems have nothing close—except low-dollar online donors, which is why Trump’s going after ActBlue.

Elon just confirmed he’s stepping away in a post on X. Now it’s time to remove the staffers he embedded from his companies across the government.

More details are emerging as Rep. Joaquin Castro meets with the deported family of the 11yo U.S. citizen girl in Mexico. CBP agents confiscated her seizure meds. That’s not law enforcement—it’s abuse. Keep reposting. Keep raising hell. Be a voice for the voiceless. #OnYourSide

So instead of trade deals he’s just going to publicly negotiate with himself until he walks back the tariffs? We get a couple of months of supply chain shock and nothing to show for it besides damaged relationships across the world.

Now that Trump has mocked Catholics, I would like to once again draw attention to the media double standard: When Democratic Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer "left Catholics seething" last year, she was forced to publicly apologize and it made headlines.

We’ve talked about this before, but we wanted to expand on it a little more. Late last week, Elon Musk’s so-called “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE) effectively took control of the Department of the Interior without a single Senate confirmation, public hearing, or vote.

If the Republicans make it unsafe for children to grow up, then families will have more children in the hope that some of them might live to be adults. The current administration is laser focused on bringing back all the worst parts of our history.

As Trump gets more unpopular, you’re going to see vulnerable Republicans like Don Bacon and Susan Collins expressing “concern” and “worry.” Don’t fall for it. They aren’t going to do jack shit. In a time of crisis, it doesn’t matter what you say. It matters what you do.

If Hegseth resigns and we get an Acting Secretary of Defense, it'll be the eighth time we've had one. One came under Nixon, a second under GHW Bush. And then we had five under Trump.
