Respectfully, look at this fucking bullshit that we’re dealing with, not a single person here has “taken the bait.” We have born witness as little kids are used as bait and neighbors are kidnapped on our streets. A mad dipshit is going to invoke the Insurrection Act regardless and you are blaming us
Violence only helps Trump & may provide him an excuse to further trample our rights by invoking the Insurrection Act.

Deplorables was already taken and I bet if I still had a NYT sub I could find an article saying that term shouldn’t have been used in about 5 seconds.
“AWFUL,” huh… reminder that Trump has long encouraged his supporters to hate and dehumanize his political opponents. He made that conduct ‘normal’ for the GOP (with much complicity). Inevitably it leads to more violence and has a long-term cost for American society. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/17/u...

I wonder how many anti-vax influencers do vaccinate themselves and their kids. Like anti-abortion folks who take advantage of that treatment for their own situations.

DHS getting basic 4th Amendment law wrong on its official Twitter account.
Seems like this post is bound to show up as an exhibit in one of the cases challenging ICE/Border Control enforcement actions.

Just out of curiosity, when was the last time that a Greenlander was shot dead by a masked agent of their own government?

Over the last year the entire "free speech on campus" beat has been revealed as an utter fraud. Years of punditry puked out in ignorance and bad faith.
Yet even as the fraud becomes undeniable we still get stories about wide-eyed idealists who just wanted 'ideological diversity' and 'open debate'.

People love to say “the Black Lives Matter protests of 2020 moved the cultural needle back to Trump” while seemingly oblivious to the fact that the Black Lives Matter protests of 2020 took place while Trump was in power and immediately proceeded an election that he lost.

.@PabloReports: Stephen Miller seems to be operating sort of as a shadow president at this point. Is there any legal liability he could face at the end of this presidency?
Ryan: There’s going to be legal—and I think criminal—liability for multiple members.. certainly Stephen Miller.
