Perfectly stated by President @billclinton.bsky.social.

"If we give our freedoms away after 250 years, we might never get them back.

"It is up to all of us who believe in the promise of American democracy to stand up, speak out, and show that our nation still belongs to We the People."
BILL CLINTON: "Over the course of a lifetime, we face only a few moments where the decisions we make and the actions we take will shape our history for years to come. This is one of them. If we give our freedoms away after 250 years, we might never get them back."

Remarkable stat.
Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

To the families of Canadian and European soldiers who lost their loved ones while they fought alongside our soldiers to defend us, thank you, so sorry for your loss, and my sincerest apologies for our current president.

Fanone is coughing "bullshit" at republican Mike Nehls as he blames everyone but Trump for the attack on the Capitol, and calls the police that day "unprepared." He then tells Fanone he needs "medication." A reminder that Nehls cowered from Trump's rioters as the police kept him safe.

The world was rightfully horrified when this happened to Elian Gonzalez. When it happened to Liam Ramos? Not so much.

Truth
Saying Trump was "snubbed" for the Nobel Peace Prize is like saying Goonies 3 was snubbed for the Best Picture Oscar.

He was never in contention because he is a war mongering fascist.

The spiritual leadership of Trump's youth movement assembles in Miami.
Nick Fuentes, Andrew Tate, Sneako, and Clavicular were all in a night club in Miami singing and dancing to the Kanye song "Heil Hitler" which they requested be played.

DHS getting basic 4th Amendment law wrong on its official Twitter account.

Seems like this post is bound to show up as an exhibit in one of the cases challenging ICE/Border Control enforcement actions.

How sad is this? The CDC closed its FOIA office, so this story could only be published because a Danish journalist provided Rolling Stone with the documents, after obtaining them through a freedom of information request to the University of Southern Denmark

In Dec., the Trump Organization sought approval to hire foreign workers for its Virginia winery at $13.90/hr—$1.91 less than what the winery paid in 2025.

Trump’s own Dep’t of Labor had made a rule change in Oct. allowing this type of foreign worker to be paid less.

Remember who you are, American.

Part of a nation that proudly went to war against the kind of fascists who embrace stupid white supremacist slogans like "one homeland, one people, one heritage"
White supremacist talking points.

No dog whistles.

Nearly 17,000 international fans have already cancelled their World Cup tickets to protest Trump’s violent immigration crackdown — and the number is rising fast. 🌍⚽️

The 2026 World Cup was supposed to be a global celebration. Instead, it’s turning into a global boycott of Trump’s America.

A video of ICE agents conducting door-to-door searches today in Minneapolis

The homeowner requests a warrant repeatedly, is told they don't require one, then is told they're getting it, then the agents storm in anyway

They also point a taser at her to try and disrupt filming
