Pinning this for anything Trump does over the next four years.

Jonathan Turley will have an op-ed by the end of the day claiming this is actually what the Constitution demands.

Exactly. I want Democratic leadership that are openly letting us know that if/when the clock turns, there will be Nuremberg Trials for the fascists that have taken control of this country.

Be nice if any single national Democrat promised to hold these fuckwads accountable for malicious prosecution should the wheel ever turn around.

But, whatever. Everybody who opposes Trump will just have to weather this bullshit.

A “B” in Law of War and yet Antifa still hired you as general counsel?

Steve Scalise needs to take @schumer.senate.gov’s name out of his mouth. Only we, as fellow Democrats, get to bitch and moan about him!

Republicans should re-open the government so that @cpsc.gov can go back to posting bangers.

papers like the New York Times actively help right wing propagandists by introducing false claims as something that's open to debate and interpretation, instead of clearly framing them up front as lies pushed by unreliable operators

Turning Point USA is a right wing propaganda op aimed at kids

Democrats should demand the firing of Stephen Miller as a condition for reopening the government.

Really feels like it’s time for “say the line, @mtsw.bsky.social.”

I’m going absolutely insane that the news media is already awarding Trump this year’s Nobel Peace Prize for a tweet about a ceasefire while he has masked agents rounding up immigrants here in the US and is ordering the extrajudicial killing of people in the Caribbean.

Since it’s nothing more than a minor inconvenience we can have Kavanaugh experience this later this week, right?

Masked ICE agents threatened an American citizen, put him into an unmarked van, held him for several hours, and dropped him back off at his workplace, without ever explaining why they abducted him

Yes, although to clarify this is grand jury service.

I still believe that the 2016 Cubs winning the World Series opened a portal to the hell in which we’re now living. The problem is that I can’t tell whether we need the Cubs to win another one to reset the timeline, or if that happening would just bring us to an even deeper level.

… tbh I wonder if the whole thing was more to convince *Trump* to do whatever Miller et al want to do next. And they know that he’s more convinced by these speakers, with their outlandish claims and personal horror stories, than by law enforcement officials who might be more circumspect.

I can’t tell if Noem is just making this up, or if some protester who got arrested sarcastically said this to some DHS cops who believed it and sent it up the chain of command.

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke
