Tired of the bs. Feminist, still. Do not obey in advance. Joe Biden was not the President in 2020. The game of life is hard, and a lot of us are playing hurt. - Anne Lamott

Her delivery reminds me of Dolores Umbridge in Harry Potter.

Just for the record, in 2020:
- Wray was the FBI director Trump handpicked to replace Comey
- Jack Smith was in the Hague prosecuting Kosovo war crimes
- Garland was an appeals court judge
- Monaco was in private practice in LA

There was no Biden administration yet, crooked or otherwise.

He crazy.

It's official: Trump is insane

All these events he claims happened in 2020 - when none of these people were in any position of power and when Trump, not Biden, was president

There are no documents, just the things Crazy Trump hallucinates

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

The amount is meaningless — less than one day of salary. But the principle is important: once the armed services are paid by the oligarchs, they become a private militia, and we no longer have a country.

The specifics of this are extremely bad. DHS is using a tariffs/product importation law to demand Meta unmask the identity of an Instagram account that posts about ICE enforcement actions. The page sells no merch. Lawyers call it "wildly outside the scope" of the law

DHS Tries To Unmask Ice Spotting Instagram Account by Claiming It Imports Merchandise
There is no evidence the Instagram and Facebook account, called Montcowatch, sells anything. Lawyers from the ACLU say the move is "wildly outside the scope" of DHS' authority.

A natural progression from orange candidate mocking a disabled reporter to these thugs singling out this disabled man to physically abuse. I admire the protester for showing up, and I hope he is ok.
Watch this.

Open your eyes to this brutality.

ICE beats up, drags & abducts this disabled visually impaired man.

Now share this.

Everyone must see the brutality of this administration & ask themselves what they are doing to push back.

You have power.

Even sharing this video exerts that power.
Seriously. They’ve discarded expertise, and turned it into a reality show fueled by sound bites and cosplay.
The number one lesson we have to tell EVERYONE under the age of 30 is before 2016 we didn't have to think about what was going on in the federal government every goddamn second of every goddamn day. Like the most was about 30 minutes of time eight times a month MAX and that was under Dubya.
Starting with the lawyers.
ordinary americans are filming ice agents and trying to save their neighbors. for all the hemming and hawing during 2024 about how democracy was an elite concern, the elites gave up far more quickly than average people.

The Supreme Court has allowed this to happen.
This is a U.S. citizen being brutally abducted by ICE while his mom pleads for them to stop and the videographer cries for help. The Chicago police do nothing to stop it.

They will come for everyone, and they’re not even hiding that anymore. If you are not organizing and resisting yet, get started.
No, but they dropped a lot of trash bags out of the Lincoln bedroom.
Did anyone spot moving vans outside the White House recently that could have been used to remove precious, historic furniture, mantel pieces, fixtures, chandeliers, lamps, and portraits from the East Wing to safety?

The use of "surge" here is so fucking grotesque. Trump is using Iraq War language against the citizens of his own country.
I think Squee is in the mix somewhere.

This is what it used to look like inside the lobby area.
Just read through my Reddit he says… umm, no.

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase.

The President is building an army to attack his own country.
“The East Wing—long associated with tradition, family, and history—is being demolished to make room for a gilded ballroom, and federal employees watching it happen have been ordered to shut up about it.”
Dancing while democracy dies? Fiddling while Rome burns? Let them eat cake?
