yeah it’s fun to joke on Bluesky but the reason I can chase ICE is that I’m out here with thousands of my neighbors. we’ll all get stuck in traffic together at a light behind a convoy and we roll down our windows and talk about who tails each car when they inevitably try to break us apart. comrades
the thing about our boy Will is that he's just a regular guy, a bit more stubborn than most, out there with tens of thousands of of other Minnesotans, and if they can stand up to these fuckers so can you.

Prof. Justin Wolfers warns: a US president has never before threatened a Fed Chair with jail. It has happened in Argentina, Russia, Turkey and Venezuela. That's how strongmen crush institutions, torch currencies and trigger hyperinflation. This path ends badly.

The markets: "Meh, no need to react. The guardrails will keep this from happening."

The guardrails: "Huh, I guess if this news doesn't spook the markets, then we should probably let Trump go ahead and do what he wants"

It's *good* that public people who lots of folks pay attention to wore anti-ICE pins to a swanky event. It has gotten coverage. People who do not closely follow politics might get curious and look for information. And under fascism, making public your ethical stance is important in and of itself.

This is the sort of statement that was expected from every university president and law firm partner over the last year. That those statements weren’t made played a huge part in where we are now and people will remember.
Jerome Powell: "This is about whether the Fed will be able to continue to set interest rates based on evidence and economic conditions—or whether instead monetary policy will be directed by political pressure or intimidation."

"I am head of the defence committee in Denmark It is my job to be on top of security in Greenland and I get all relevant information about it. I can assure you that your fantasies about a big threat from China and Russia against Greenland are delusional."

I can't believe I'm posting this video - but we actually have to have a conversation about the real world implications of America going to war over Greenland.

Let me walk you through it. It doesn't turn out well for us.

The number of Gestapo in Germany was 32,000. The population was 70 million. That's one Gestapo for every 2200 citizens.

The number of ICE agents is 20,000. The population of the US is 348 million. That's one ICE agent for every 17,000 citizens.

There are more of us.

Clear-eyed, fact-based, and written to explain to normies. No “both sidesing.” No “Trump officials disagree.”
No gaslighting that what we can see with our own eyes might not be true.

This is journalism. Well done, @people.com

Guys, with understanding that everyone is angry right now, I am honestly going to start blocking people who say things like, "Who cares? The law doesn't matter anymore," or "They can do whatever they want, they can't be stopped" etc. I mean, if you really feel that way, you're a part of the problem.

absolutely bizarre to see a violent, rogue american regime, which is threatening military attacks on a bunch of major trading partners and close allies, and openly fantasizing about hitler-style wars of territorial conquest, covered in the tone of horse-race political commentary

My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.
