Democracies don't end with a bang. They are slowly chipped away at until they become something else. Don't be fooled into thinking it can't happen here.

The pattern of billionaires buying up every major news outlet and social media platform to turn them into right wing propaganda machines so they can keep those in power who won't tax their wealth should terrify every sane person.

Just a reminder that it was only 4 days ago that Trump caused an international furor by denigrating the service of allied combat veterans. Think of all the chaos and mayhem since then in just 4 days. The sheer volume of it is meant to exhaust us and numb us. We mustn’t let it.

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.

ICE executed Alex Pretti. Anything else you’re told is a lie.
UPDATE: @dropsitenews.com has obtained the very graphic video from the lady in the pink coat, which shows ICE executing yet another person in broad daylight:

The reality is that 2024 was a fundamental test of the moral character of the nation and we failed spectacularly. We’re living with the consequences now. Maybe we improve. I hope so.

This is a global far right power grab, so the sooner everybody realizes that and puts aside their deeply outdated notions around national identity, which got us here to begin with, the better. The only way out is through, but the only way through is all of us fighting these climate warlords together

Dear Dems in Congress,
Either concede nothing and fight for every inch…or step aside.
Voting for conciliatory weaklings in the midterms will do nothing to stem this onslaught of fascism led by Trump and the oligarchs.
Be the fighter this moment requires.
Or Begone.
Sincerely
The Angry Majority

Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.

We are up against a murderous fascist regime, an unscrupulous oligarchy, a corrupted DOJ, a cowardly Congress and a supine SCOTUS.
We have lost our guard rails, from co-equal branches to the fourth estate.
It’s a lot.
It’s past time to put all our petty differences aside and band together.

Incrementalism doesn’t work. I used to be an advocate for it. That was wrong. We can’t chip away at the rot in hopes of laying the ground work for big change later. We have to go in blasting now.
Abolish ICE. Raze his ballroom. Defund all his shit. Jail the crooks. Restore America.

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.
In the video that the shooter took, which I believe was leaked to be exculpatory, he appears to yell “fucking bitch” after he shoots Renee Good.

Because I'm seeing a lot of unncessary dooming in my various socials on this post, let's get some facts straight:
Fact: No matter the circumstances—wartime, so-called “martial law,” or any national crisis—Trump has zero authority to cancel elections.

The most enlightening and disappointing thing to come out of this ICE shooting is that the right legitimately does not give a fuck about human life if it harms their political narrative.
Watching people malign a 37 year old mother for being murdered by her country is insane.

This seems significant: not a FORMER DHS official, but a SENIOR (current) one saying the officer who fired acted counter to training.
This is not an admin that admits mistakes. And they are hanging this guy out to dry on Day One.
I think they know this is bad. Really bad.

If Trump is really stealing spending power from Congress then it would be insanity for Democrats to vote to fund the government later this month. Shut it down until the president stops wiping his ass with the Constitution.
