Congrats everyone — we are at the point where The Onion and real life are indistinguishable from one another. 😳🇺🇸 theonion.com/ice-agents-w...

indeed

Rubio publicly criticizing an ally for cracking down on right-wing extremism. And Germany hitting back. We are in a new world

wow.

These these days I try not to watch clips of this guy because he makes me ill, but everyone needs to watch this one.

Oh.

Ok I am completely broken by this. The Hague and UN need to see this. #Texas

Weird how the American right went from being outraged about government violence wielded against Randy Weaver and David Koresh in the 1990s, to supporting an administration that engages in multiple such acts of federal violence PER DAY in their name. youtu.be/DUMJqz53YW0?...

I agree with what Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius said...

Spreading contamination - the rule of law is fragile if it is not defended

Mom & minor daughters are citizens who just moved from MD to Oklahoma. This statement from the Mom should be read, absorbed & circulated. ICE cannot be allowed to terrorize vulnerable families. @housedemocrats.bsky.social @ericswalwell.bsky.social kfor.com/news/local/w...

Bezos killed the Post’s Kamala endorsement and caved on tariffs as soon as Trump commented. Imagine being that rich and still being such a sniveling coward.

I agree with Satan.

Patel works for a President that the Supreme Court decided it should grant immunity to, and who routinely doles out pardons for his political supporters. There is now a whole class of people in America who assume the law is irrelevant to them, and it does not include the judge who was arrested.

I have gotten confirmation from sources inside the Coast Guard that this is in fact true and happened in Key West. ICE went into military housing and took the spouse of a USCG member who is currently out to sea.

The cruelty and the stupidity is the point

the word 'deported' is being pretty commonly misused

This is insane, and basically a way to encourage federal workers who support the president to bully those who don’t

This should be a huge story

Me too.

The President said of the U.S. economy: "We are a department store, and we set the price. I meet with the companies, and then I set a fair price, what I consider to be a fair price, and they can pay it, or they don't have to pay it." And then... I lost it.

wow

The party that campaigned on the idea that the Democrats would turn the US into a Latin American dictatorship are now deploying the tactics of Latin American dictatorships to punish anyone who gets in the way of their goal of disappearing people into a prison in a Latin American dictatorship.

Maybe federal judges will realize it's time to stop dicking around and time to start throwing people in jail themselves.

Al Gore didn’t hold back: The Trump admin is “attacking the heart of truth,” twisting facts like the Nazis did in the 1930s. From climate denial to rewriting the Ukraine war, it’s all about power—not reality. Gore warned the U.S. is under siege—and every former leader should speak out like he did.

This, right here 💯

They are literally disappearing people. We cannot allow this to stand. Someone is going to pay for these atrocities.

Imagine America during the Korean War in 1950 telling the embattled southern forces after Pyongyang’s massive invasion that both sides “need to put down their weapons and build a better North and South Korea.” Trump is acting as a de facto Russian ally. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

there really is no alternative to tearing up CBP and ICE root and branch

Resistance is NOT futile

god this shit is blood boiling

Gélineau advanced the term "narcolepsy" in 1880 while de la Tourette described his eponymous syndrome in 1885. "Autism" was coined by Bleuler in 1911, with full diagnoses soon after. But what do I know? I'm not the Cabinet secretary in charge of the goddamn Department of Health and Human Services.

Children as young as *four* are being put in the position of representing themselves without lawyers/parents present in front of immigration judges in cases that will determine whether they are deported. gothamist.com/news/4-year-...

Men in plainclothes, one in a balaclava, raided the Charlottesville courthouse today. They abducted a local painter whose case (allegedly fighting with his roommate) was being dismissed, and another who was there paying fines. They took them away in unmarked vans. dailyprogress.com/news/local/c...

I never thought that government would be trying to tackle the problem that American teenagers aren’t horny enough

Good job team America www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

👇🎯 Again, your periodic reminders that it is not the 1950s anymore, the median voter works in the nontradable services sector, therefore she experiences international trade <only> as a consumer, the balance of payments has two sides, & the mercantilism is just going to make everyone a lot poorer.

As the news report that US Secretary of Defence Pete Hegseth had a second signal chat in which he shared detailed military plans with his family One wonders if he was inspired by Mission Gainsborough from this episode of Blackadder Goes Forth 👀

Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago: —Pioneering cancer researcher; —*Arrested* at airport in Boston; —Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana; —"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research. Read it. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Carl Sagan when asked, "Are you a Socialist?"

Deplorable to the core 🤬

You're a United States Senator in the face of fascism. Do your damn job. People with far less power than you are sitting in overseas concentration camps right now, our students are being deported, & the lying idiot you confirmed for HHS Secretary is demonizing autistic kids & lying about vaccines.

JUST IN: Deputy Assistant to the President and "Counterterrorism Czar" Sebastian Gorka says anyone advocating for due process for Kilmar Abrego Garcia could be viewed as "aiding and abetting a terrorist" and be federally charged. (h/t Philip Germain)

Congrats, again, everyone, on our c.2022 National Conversation™️ about whether Joe Biden was holding Trump rallies, politicizing the military, being too partisan in discussing imminent threats to democracy, & whether he gaffed/overstepped bounds by talking about "semi-fascism." Truly, well done 🧐🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️
