Jan 17, 1998: The Drudge Report breaks the story that then President Bill Clinton had an affair with Monica Lewinsky. The aftermath of two consenting adults having an affair caused Republicans to impeach Clinton.

Take that in for a moment.

So. MAGA. Trump's in the Epstein evidence pile. A lot. Hm.

Agreed. But only professionals let protocol get in the way when bruised egos and bigotry want to crash into common sense.

It's better to have an opinion grounded strongly in fact than one that changes with the prevailing winds.

You have a good day, now.

Good regurgitation of false talking points. Renee Good wasn't under arrest. She wasn't putting ICE agents in danger. Ross & others drove around her (not blocked).

He then got out of his car, in front of hers, stepped to the side, and then shot her.

No federal training tells you to do that.

President Trump is swayed by his immediate surroundings. If his inner circle is telling him to dismiss millions of protestors in American streets as paid actors, he'll go along with it.

What he can't dismiss is one auto worker calling him a pedophile to his face, on camera. Now it's a resistance.

ICE was established in 2003. It's not needed for the safety of the country. We have a military and police force for that. ICE can absolutely be defunded and abolished, without any harm to the nation's safety.
January 16, 2026 at 5:44 PM
These aren't mutually exclusive. You can work towards the Dems gaining back Congress while demanding they abolish ICE.

We need another bigger & louder NOKINGS Day b/c what Trump is doing to Minneapolis, he'll be doing to your city next.

Nobody is safe anymore. Even if you're a U.S. citizen, always carry your identification papers with you.

Voting Trump out is the only way to stop him & bring him to justice.

The NY Times doing a better job at investigating Good's murder than the FBI is allowed. A harsh, but necessary video breakdown.
Video: Video Analysis of ICE Shooting Sheds Light on Contested Moments
Newly available videos and existing footage synchronized and assessed by The Times provides a frame-by-frame look at how an ICE officer ended up shooting and killing a motorist in Minneapolis.

Jan 16, 1991: A coalition of 42 countries, led by the United States, begins the invasion of Iraq known as Desert Storm.

A coalition. More than one country. Novel idea. We sure as hell didn't have a President direct the US military, alone, to steal oil & then sell it for his offshore bank accounts.

Serious question: who do I report to the Federal Labor Board or IRS for my missing Antifa paychecks? I keep trying to ask my Antifa supervisor, but then I realize they don't exist.

And my employee handbook doesn't help either. It just says, "Read the fucking Constitution."
Can't say it often enough: every Trump administration accusation is a confession.
January 16, 2026 at 1:57 AM
The official account of the Opposition Party hasn't addressed ICE in over 2 months here. No posts, no reposts from House members. Nothing.

Grow a patriotic backbone and be a real damned opposition. Be angry. Be loud. Be defiant about what the Constitution stands for.

For fuck's sake. Take a stand.

Cryptocurrency & the stock market aren't indicators of the health & well-being of the American economy, as they ignore nearly 80% of families who do not directly own either.

It's like applauding the Titanic for successfully transporting people, but only by counting those who found the life boats.

That Trump is illegally declaring war on Iran, Venezuela, Greenland, and Minnesota should be enough for the entirety of Congress to impeach him.

Republicans have come full circle: Abe Lincoln healing a nation from Civil War, to enabling Don Trump in tearing it apart with another.
January 15, 2026 at 8:37 PM
A bruised ego has never been enough justice for killing people. ICE and Trump know this, they simply don't care.

Neither do Republicans, or they'd grow a damned spine and remember they're conservatives instead of racist enablers.

Jan 15, 1929: Martin Luther King, Jr. is born.

He was, and is, a symbol of what makes America great: peace, love, and dreams.

On this day: Fuck Trump.

Technically speaking, ulcers from chronic stress are internal bleeding. I'm sure more than a few ICE agents have those these days, just not from shooting innocent women.

Too many politicians are confusing "talking to God" with showing the bare minimum of human compassion when, in practiced fully, none of them would be Republican at all.

"When you're a dictator, you can grab other nations by the assets and there's nothing they can do about it. Just walk right in, and there it is. Vlad does it all the time, and you don't see me complaining. They'll learn to like it."
January 14, 2026 at 11:27 PM
Any documented, large-scale internal bleeding was a direct result from his colleagues either for patting him on the back too hard or slamming him into a desk to make it look like a car bumper impact.

The video shows it all. A car going 5 mph isn't leaving a bruise unless it rolls over you.
January 14, 2026 at 11:22 PM
A bruise versus 3 shots to the head. Does CBS somehow now think these are equivalent injuries?

"She called me fat, so I shot her 3 times. My ego was severely bruised."

One of these things is not like the others, one of these things just doesn't belong.

Since we could all some defiance: today's @kcrw.com Art Insider is about an exhibition devoted to Amaza Lee Meredith, an architect who defied segregation to build a home for herself and her female lover in Jim Crow Virginia.

@leighann3000.bsky.social has the story:

Just a small reminder that Iran cut off their mobile network before major operations against their people.

So the question is: is Verizon experiencing a severe technical issue by mistake, or by design?

Definitely a way to stop immediate news spreading, isn't it.
