Trump’s racist video mocking the Obamas is an effort to divide and conquer. He’s better there are enough white supremacists out there who approve. We the people can unite against it and prove him wrong. Make America decent again.

Trump at the National Prayer Breakfast: "I don't know how a person of faith can vote for a Democrat. I really don't. *crowd groans* I know we have some here today. I don't know why they're here, because they certainly don't give us their vote ... they cheat."

Why did ICE & DHS not put up much resistance to body cameras? Is it because they can use them to add facial data to their reported humongous (and illegal?) data base of people at rallies and protests? ...for future targeting? @maddow.bsky.social 1/2

I know you've heard that a federal judge ordered the release of 5 year old Liam Conejo Arias and his father, and that they're now home.
But did you look at the judge's order?
It's less than 2.5 pages and well worth a minute. "Jesus wept."

FBI historian here. Basically all of the FBI’s greatest scandals across history come from attempts to criminalize First Amendment rights. It never works out well for the bureau and ends a lot of careers.
I would like to know how my prior colleagues, who have chosen to pursue leadership positions under this charlatan, justify ordering agents to break their oaths of office and open investigations on people simply for exercising their legal rights.
Good luck gazing in the mirror when this is all over.

There's been a lot of discussion about the echoes of the civil rights movement in the protests today, with people obviously drawing comparisons between the strategies, tactics and coalitions that were vital then and are still vital now.

I suspect right now Stephen Miller and the other nazis are meeting to discuss how a place not as “nice" or "peaceful” as Minnesota will provide better oxygen for their lies and goals of martial law.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

We already have complete access to Greenland, including unfettered freedom of navigation into the Arctic.
We have a military base. We have early warning radar systems in place that will integrate with the “dome.”

From a US friend's friend in Minneapolis whose child is adopted from abroad:
![We've switched to remote work, schools in metro are going back to virtual or at least giving families the option, small businesses are closing cuz customers aren't coming out or staff aren't coming in. It's absolutely a police state. They are in [location withheld] everyday.
[Name withheld] is carrying [his/her] citizenship certificate. But they don't care. You can say you're legal and have documents but they ask questions later. It's insane! White people are driving colored kids to school, etc. bringing colored families groceries, running errands cuz ICE pulls people over randomly based on race. There are parent brigades at schools to make sure no one is abducted without witnesses. They are at churches, clinics, box stores, grocery stores, ethnic restaurants are shutting down.
Plus they're tracking people via cell location data, then going to the homes of community observers to intimidate them. People are being told to turn it off especially if you're protesting.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ysg7hp6kgncoryoll2fz2pgk/bafkreig72hlxp2a5om7q3uoauvivusxexjwuv7izmrpzsv55lksw6k5ceq@jpeg)
