Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck this

Kristi Noem less than a month ago: "There is no scenario where Abrego Garcia will be in the United States again." (No matter what happens, bringing him back to the US is a climbdown for the administration)

Chaos leads nowhere good.

If Abrego Garcia committed a crime, he should be charged and tried. I wondered reading this headline why they didn't just do this in the first place, and then read the article to discover that they only began the investigation in April, after he was deported.

I think we’ve reached a boiling point when it comes to ICE. Today in Minneapolis, a militarized task force raided the beloved Lake Street taqueria, Las Cuatro Milpas—and the community was not having it. Agents from ICE, the DEA, FBI, ATF, IRS and HHS rolled up looking like they were ready for war.

Saying it's premature to state the killing of actor Jonathan Joss is motivated by hatred is like saying it would be premature to state that Jonathan Joss is dead.

Federal employees can and should be allowed to critique the government they work for without fearing for their jobs.

The Speaker of the House of Representatives of the United States of America, third in line to become President of the United States, tacitly endorses a national secret police force, in the same vein as the Gestapo, KGB, or Stasi. We are well beyond a constitutional crisis.

To recap, narcissistic rage and decompensation confirmed that in the relationship between two exploitative narcissistic psychopaths: • Elon knowingly paid $290 million to get an Epstein pedophile elected to the Presidency. • Elon is 100% certain he got Trump elected.

The way to message through all of this is "We can have a better world where we're not all affected by rich, pissy men who can't handle their shit." That's all. Leave the memes behind, the lame attempts at going viral, and just say, we can have all of these things and be free of this bullshit.

Trump’s grandfather also tried to go BACK to Germany, because his new wife, who didn’t speak English, hated it here. But he dodged the draft and was persona non grata. So he came back to the U.S., and we took him. And here we are

You can make a banana republic, but you can't build bananas in it.

That any of us have to care about the messy breakup of these two massive narcissists — and that they both individually wield such massive power — is an indictment of our political system and further proves the poisonous influence of Big Money on our democracy.

Musk has both the psychological make up......as well as the resources.....to pose a serious threat to Trump. A fraction of Elon's wealth could decimate Republicans in the house. That would not only potentially cripple Trump's agenda, but there would be impeachment talk. 1/

Hear me out. In a better world we wouldn’t have to watch fascist billionaires get into pissy fights or be pressured to side between a Nazi oligarch and a pedophile president. In a better world these people would be in prison or kept from seizing power and hoarding resources.

The enemy of my enemy is still my enemy but I still like seeing them fight

A cool thing to do is watch two awful people go after each other and hold onto the fact that they’re still both awful and that you don’t need to reconsider your opinions on either one of them.

Keep track of any Democrat or commentator or personality who advocates for Musk to be welcomed back into the fold. These are people you cannot trust and should be kept as far away from the levers of power as humanly possible.

"Well, yes, I'm actually a robot"

Chris Murphy: "We can't be preparing for the 2026 election. It might not come. All of our focus right now has to be on protecting the democracy, about stopping the corruption."

Good Christ. Trump seemed to think the chancellor of Germany considered the end of WWII a sad day somehow. Merz had to explain, no, America liberated us from the Nazis, dipshit. That was a good thing, you absolute fucking moron. I paraphrase only slightly.

Joni Ernst's "we all are going to die" comments weren't just bits of isolated weirdness. What MAGA is ushering in is what capitalism wants: a culture where untimely death and unnecessary suffering are normalized as just part of the American experience. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/well-we-al...

Trump is a catastrophe of chaos and corruption, but where is the opposition? My latest—”The Democrats are doing Trump’s work for him. Read it at from @renewdemocracy.bsky.social at The Next Move from and subscribe! www.thenextmove.org/p/garry-kasp...

worth remembering that when Trump announced a travel ban in 2017, people literally went to airports to protest. Eight years later, Trump announces a new one and it's not even front page news. We're the frogs and the water is getting awfully hot.

Lee Jae-myung, the South Korean politician who climbed the fence of the parliament to get inside and vote against martial law, has been elected president. Pretty cooool
