Patty, a woman observer in Minneapolis, was abducted from a car by federal agents today. She was released and talked about her experience in custody.

An agent said, "You guys gotta stop obstructing us. That's why that lesbian bitch is dead."

There is literally no benefit to the populace to pay federal taxes at this point.
at some point we're gonna have to have a real conversation about why we're still paying federal taxes to a regime that isn't using them to help anyone, but instead is using them to brutalize us

This is the opposite of what makes America great. Thanks but no thanks. For those that voted for him, this is your just desserts.
The Trump admin is freezing ~$10B in social services & child care funding in five Dem-led states, alleging fraud, with no proof. The cuts hit TANF ($7B+), child care ($2B+), & social services ($870M) in CA, CO, IL, MN, and NY. If you want to hurt working families, this is how.

waking up and seeing "oh yeah the President of the United States raped a 13 year old pregnant girl and was present when her newborn child was killed and disposed of in lake michigan" is wild, I hope the country collapses under its own weight soon because fuck, man

I’m sure this will be popular. 5 million people are in default right now. The Dept of Ed estimates as many as 10 million by end of next year because of job market.

Trump has revoked legal status for at least 1.6 million immigrants over the past year by cancelling programs like TPS and student visas.

Remember: these are people who entered the country legally.

Trump never cared about “legal immigration" — just inflicting cruelty.

I don’t need any letters to tell me what we’ve all known for decades, the orange felon is evil, a rapist and a criminal and he surrounds himself with subhuman beings just like himself. He should be in prison, not in the White House.

When l’orange fires ambassadors, we notice. No one is talking about what happens to US delegations at international meetings, when they are even allowed to attend. Agency SMEs are left home while state dept appointees attend, craft insane US positions, disrupt meetings & piss off our allies. #resist

Bovino, the man overseeing mass deportations, publicly declared that we must all have our papers on us, at all times, or we could be stopped, harassed, kidnapped, and detained, as they did with the man in this case, who is a US citizen.

Something Pamela Jo Bondi has expunged from the Epstein Files: anything to do with Melania Trump’s connection with Jeffrey Epstein. Melania knew him *before* Trump. Epstein introduced Melania to Donald on Epstein’s plane, where they immediately had sex. I wonder if she was procured for that purpose.

Supreme Court appears poised to make it easier for Trump to fire independent government officials (despite laws meant to insulate them from political pressure) in what would be a major expansion of presidential power.
