🇩🇪🇺🇸 Pistorius on Trump’s NATO comments:
I have great respect for achievements of the American nation and of USA as an ally over the past decades. But respect must be mutual.
To speak about the fallen soldiers of our allies like that is simply indecent and disrespectful. We all made that very clear.

DA Bregman: If ICE comes in without a warrant, without reasonable suspicion, without probable cause, that is false imprisonment in New Mexico. You can’t confine, restrain, or detain someone without proper legal authority to do so. And there’s no exception for law enforcement.

For some reason, Trump said his tariffs would bring costs down for Americans. But the data shows what you already know: Americans are bearing 96% of the tariff burden. That's $200 billion coming straight out of our pockets because of him.

From standing up to corruption in Washington to working to bring down health care costs, Yassamin Ansari is a leader Arizonans can always count on to fight for them. I'm proud to support her.
@captmarkkelly.bsky.social is an American hero who’s always put Arizona first. I’m proud to have his endorsement for my re-election, and I look forward to continuing our work together for Arizona and the country.

That’s sexual assault.
We already know women detainees have been raped, assaulted and in some cases sterilized.
This is sick stuff. They want to inflict maximum pain.
They’re abusers drunk on power.

It is excellent. Minnesota is a case study on how to turn people who don’t see the point of protesting into determined protestors.
I am blown away by their courage in the face of a rogue, murderous state. The other America.

i think this attitude — that all opposition is illegitimate and nothing we do can be questioned— is probably pervasive in the white house and helps explain why they keep making terrible political choices
Putin pioneered this. No opposition is legitimate. Regular, decent, “ordinary” people cannot possibly be against us because only we represent “the real people.”
Tell-tale sign of authoritarianism.

Irrevocably and permanently damaging the civil rights of dozens of ICE guys by playing the Butthole Surfers' 1988 album "Hairway To Steven" from a boombox outside the Hilton Garden Inn in suburban Minneapolis where they're all staying. JD Vance does a tweet about it that starts "Wow. Really?"

Steph Curry on watching the protests from his hotel window: "In negative 10-degree weather. It was beautiful to see that turnout. That speaks to how important people felt to have their voice heard. In those elements and whatever streets outside our hotel, they were out, and it was amazing to watch."

“Secret police beat, choked, and detained a child on his way to school in front of his father, whom they also assaulted and later deported. (. . .)Much of it was captured in a viral video. When he and his mother took this to the local police, they told him there was nothing they could do.”
The Badge Is a Burden Not a Privilege
The power of state violence comes with the obligation to uphold a higher standard, not permission to excuse a lower one.

One is a tragedy, two is a strategy. They lied about the murders they’ve committed in public, imagine what they are doing behind closed doors. There are people still missing that have not been heard from by their families. #3E #GoodvsEvil
