What could be worse than screaming at a Capitol police officer?

The last people who said this here were American colonial merchants who remained loyal to King George III. bsky.app/profile/atru...

This is pure horseshit. ICE helps the cartels.

The cartels are enjoying a nearly unprecedented period of low enforcement as DEA agents, FBI, and border patrol that used to catch 10% of their shipments have all been reassigned to the interior of the country to pepper spray frogs and kidnap abuelas.

We’re converting the world’s most powerful military into a private army under the control of Republican donors. How about that

Q: We've seen images out of Chicago of federal agents shooting faith leaders with pepper balls and arresting journalists. Where's the limit for you on what's acceptable conduct by federal agents?

MIKE JOHNSON: I've not seen them cross the line yet.

Again, this all boils down to the central crisis being the total failure of Article I of the Constitution. An imperial presidency unbound from legislative constraint & unsanctioned for violating laws & ratified treaties makes it impossible for 🇺🇸 to make credible commitments in int’l relations.

Watching people being brutalized by the state, secure in the knowledge that I'm safe because I don't do anything wrong. And the best part? The state can't suddenly and arbitrarily redefine what "wrong" means

The Portland ICE protest camp literally has a rack full of inflatable costumes for demonstrators who want to try one on...

"Their conduct was completely unprofessional in my experience in combat infantry,” Cerrone said. “Even in Afghanistan, we had very clear rules of engagement. The conduct of these agents was such that if it occurred in Afghanistan, they would be removed from the front line. They would be […]

Tomorrow is Columbo's Day, so remember to eat the traditional chili dogs, wear your best disheveled raincoat, and above all, don't let any rich assholes get away with anything

As we all know, the right to protest is foundational to a functioning democracy. This is why my administration vigorously supports your right to do it quietly in your own home where no one can see it.

Wintry mix of rain and snow as we head up EB to Donner Summit. Now just snow at the summit. @robmayeda.bsky.social @edwardsanthonyb.bsky.social

Crazy week.

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Trump's conversation with Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto is caught on a hot mic. Hard to tell exactly what they are talking about, but Subianto asks Trump about meeting Eric Trump and Don Jr, who supposedly have nothing to do with government while they run the family business.

When they tell you they plan on throwing out the constitution, believe them.

Saturday, we’re having a large Antifa meeting! All members are included. Make sure to bring posters, Frog suits & know the password. 😀

No institutional design can overcome a lawbreaking president, a Congress defending lawbreaking and forfeiting its own power, a Supreme Court that pretends legal text doesn’t count to facilitate lawbreaking, and a citizenry that votes for all that.
Need at least one that wants rule of law. Maybe two.

Trump was President on January 6th.

The FBI agents were sent by his FBI in response to the riot at the Capitol.

The lies are either getting more ridiculous and dangerous, or his grip on reality is. Either way, this is not a man who should have nuclear codes.

Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world,... I feel like I can't take it. And my heart is just going to cave in.

YES . . . HA HA
HA . . . YES!

Unconstitutionally taking money that the law says must be spent on one purpose & using it for something else—when it's to establish personalist control over the FUCKING MILITARY—is about as dangerous a constitutional crisis/failure as you can imagine
