This is exactly the problem with a majoritarian democracy split along two party lines. Multi-party coalitions are more democratic. The US is no longer a LIBERAL democracy. It is an AUTHORITARIAN democracy. Trump is playing havoc with a norms-based political system. Not enough checks to power.

He didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.

Y'all Qaeda gave up on books long ago, but you really should consider taking up reading again. This shit is why that's important.

If ICE can murder white suburban moms in broad daylight while being filmed, they can come after you and your children.

Fuck Kristi Noem and these domestic terrorists.
For those keeping score, Bellingcat, The New York Times Visual Investigation Team, & Washington Post's Visual Forensic team have all published analysis showing the ICE shooter wasn't in the path of Renee Nicole Good’s vehicle when he shot her, contradicting statements by the President & his cronies

Owners must have deep pockets.
WITNESS: "I just can't let this narrative of self-defense go any further. That’s absolutely not what it was… ICE agents didn’t let anyone help her for 15 minutes, then medics couldn’t get through with their ambulance.”
What can Europe do to deter America from seizing Greenland?

1. Making the U.S. aware of the implications of seizing Greenland

2. Preparing a deterrent package, by threatening to:

- Suspend U.S. trade deals
- sell-off of U.S. debt holdings
- Invoke EU mutual defense clause preemptively

The Internet doesn’t forget. So, Rubio needs to be reminded again and again that he’s a friggin hypocrite. Hammer that home. Keep posting this tweet. Make it so he can’t escape scrutiny. I live in hope.
'Batsh*t crazy': Democratic representatives sound off on the White House publishing a website about January 6 that calls the insurrectionists “patriots” and blames officers for the violence. @pabloreports.bsky.social reports.
No amount of gaslighting will convince sane and rational Americans that we didn’t see what we saw on January 6, 2021.

Let’s cut through some of the bullshit and lies…
.@PabloReports: What do you make of the White House blaming the police for the violence on January 6th?

McGovern: That’s offensive. What kind of sick human being would say that? I was here that day.
Samuel Alito flew two flags used by insurrectionists.

Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election.

Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the January 6th plot.

It's a stain on our nation that this has effectively been forgotten.
Reformed January 6th participant (who refused a pardon): “You can't gaslight me. I was there. I saw the officers being pepper sprayed. I watched one of them fall down and hit his head and his back. So don't be telling me it wasn't violent.”

Putin's original plan for Ukraine was to remove Zelensky and install as leader a Pro-Putin leader/puppet. That is the plan Trump just implemented in Venezuela. Trump is the Putin of the Western Hemisphere.

Trump refuses to endorse the Venezuelan opposition leader in exile, in part (no doubt) because she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2025, an accolade that Trump believes HE deserved.

VenezOILa. Now a Trumpistan franchise.

@maddow.bsky.social: “There are very few Americans right now who have any idea why the United States did this. If this was about drug trafficking then why did President Trump just pardon the former President of Honduras who was convicted of sending hundreds of tons of drugs into the US?”
Insider trading on war crimes seems like peak criminality.
