It should not take a court order to get a toddler out of a prison.

This was posted in the new Epstein files release and removed about 20 mins later.

Wonder why that is.

Hi, what you saw in 2020 was states expanding access to mail in voting in response to the pandemic.

Republicans found out what happens when they make it easier for people to vote, and now they’re doing everything they can to stop that.

Hope that helps.

BlueSky won’t let me share the video, but you can see one of the ICE agents rip a gun out of this man’s waistband *before* the shooting starts.

From this angle, it’s hard to see how this was anything but an execution, unless simply carrying a gun is now illegal in America.

The administration, and particularly whoever runs the White House Twitter account, is full of the dumbest people on the planet.

Holy shit.

He was filming. He went over to help a lady that ICE shoved down. Agents engaged him.

His hands were on the pavement when he was shot.

He never had his hand on a weapon.

Cold blooded murder.
NEW VIDEO: this appears to be the footage from the woman in the pink coat.

Know what’s fucking insane?

Our NATO allies are sending troops to Greenland to defend against a possible US invasion.

I know this administration doesn’t understand anything about anything, but the US is not self-sufficient enough to thrive in an interconnected world on our own.

Who honestly supports this shit?

They gave this woman about 8 conflicting commands, broke her window and drug her out of her car.
Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.

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.

Pretty wild how fast MAGA went from “no new wars!” to “Invade Venezuela, bomb Iran, bomb Nigeria, destabilize Cuba, attack Colombia, threaten Mexico, and annex Greenland!!”
TAPPER: Can you rule out the US is going to take Greenland by force?

MILLER: Greenland should be part of the US. By what right does Denmark assert control over Greenland? The US is the power of NATO

T: So force is on the table?

M: Nobody is gonna fight the US militarily over future of Greenland

Oh my goodness, this Wall Street Journal piece about Trump's ailing health that includes an interview with him (gift link). There are a number of ridiculous details in it and I'll put a few of them in this thread. (1/6)
Exclusive | As Signs of Aging Emerge, Trump Responds With Defiance
In an interview, President Trump—the oldest man to assume the office—said he has eschewed some advice from his doctors and regrets getting advanced imaging.

Trump has finally said something so caustic and irredeemable that even some republicans have stopped pretending like they don’t see his tweets to condemn it.

What an asshole.

Everyone should listen to this.

It’s easy to blame Rogan for understanding the situation far too late, but the important thing is that he’s using his platform-with his millions of listeners-to talk about it now.

This one show will reach more normal GOP folks than we ever could.
The con worked, until it didn’t?

ROGAN: “I really thought they were just going to go after the criminals… I really thought there was enough gang members.”

ME: He still doesn’t get it. That’s what Trump wanted everyone to believe. They’re not even trying to go after “the criminals”.

If we are taking in “trillion” of dollars in tariffs:

1. Why haven’t we paid down a cent of the debt?

2. Why can’t we afford to not fuck millions of people over with expiring insurance subsidies?

3. Why is none of it being used to help the abysmal job market?

Ca Gov Gavin Newsom: “The President of the US just called for the arrest of a sitting Governor. This is a day I hoped I would never see in America.
