Amy Klobuchar: "There are now more ICE agents in Minnesota than there are police officers combined in Minneapolis and St. Paul. So they are outnumbering our own local police officers out on the streets."

rare to see an american politician speak in these terms and it rocks
“When I speak about making our city more affordable, my vision is not limited to the homes that we live in or the child care that we’re making universal — it’s also a vision where we make it possible for working people to afford lives of joy, of art, of rest, of expression.”

You don’t even need the Tronoto Holocaust Museum to tell you that this is a neo-Nazi anthem. Just listen to it.

"If it sounds like our government is running a quota-based rewards program encouraging local police to round up more people for ICE, it’s because that’s exactly what is happening," Andrew Thrasher writes.

If you beat up and injure a cop at the Capitol the Trump admin will pardon you.
If you drive away from an ICE agent they will kill you.

Spheres of influence? Oil revolution? Imperialism? A new political theory argues that we're thinking about Trump's global takeover all wrong.
"Actors are debasing themselves to this order, like the Swiss bringing gold bars and Rolexes to the White House to avoid being targets of tariffs.

A new theory explains why Trump keeps threatening global takeovers
Neo-royalism challenges us to look beyond a century-old paradigm and see the hierarchical lens through which Trump justifies domination.

I wrote section 230 to protect user speech, not a company's own speech. I've long said AI chatbot outputs are not protected by 230 and that it is not a close call. Given that the Trump administration is going to the mat to protect pedophiles, states should step in to hold Musk and X accountable.
I am not a Section 230 expert but being that Twitter is creating and publishing these photos I wonder if they actually have any civil legal protection? @kenwhite.bsky.social ? @akivamcohen.bsky.social ?

It’s five years to the day since Donald Trump’s followers attempted to violently overthrow the democratically elected U.S Government following his repeated false claims that the election had been stolen.
If there was any justice Trump would be in prison, not the White House.

The weirdest thing about Americans is how many of them think their laws apply to every person in the world.
But they're certain other countries' laws don't apply to them.

The Epstein Files Transparency Act is a law, passed by Congress on November 19 with an overwhelming vote. Complying with it was not optional. The Department of Justice did not comply.

I just heard a commentator say basically "well, how would Americans like it if some other country kidnapped trump and his wife and sent them off for trial?"
I would guess that most Americans would be grateful.
