I hope it's clear to everyone now that Trump really is going for it - he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort

Trump posts this AI video on Truth Social tonight where he has Schumer saying that Democrats are all “woke pieces of shit.”

I guess the hat means Jeffries is a migrant or something.

Court-watchers confirm this cruel ICE agent has been reinstated.

Last week, in the briefest moment of decency, violently throwing a woman to the floor was “beneath the men and women of ICE.”

This week, it’s back to business as usual. The cruelty, after all, is the point.

The MAGA monocultural revolution is so thorough that Hegseth made it a priority to honor soldiers who carried out war crimes in 1890.

First Colbert, now Kimmel.

Last-minute settlements, secret side deals, multi-billion dollar mergers pending Donald Trump's approval.

Trump silencing free speech stifles our democracy. It sure looks like giant media companies are enabling his authoritarianism.

I know we call a lot of things Nazi shit these days but this is pure Nazi shit. "Don't show the Fuhrer in an unflattering light!!!"

Masked men jumped a San Bernardino family in unmarked cars, opened fire, and shattered their truck windows—all while the family was just coming home from work.

The feds later admitted it was CBP, but the family says the agents never showed warrants or IDs.

BREAKING: Large protests against Trump erupt in Washington DC, after he sends in the National Guard because of some Trumped up claim that Washington DC has a major violent crime emergency.

The beatings will continue…

👀 The Harvard Journal of Law & Public Policy has just published an article by A3P Sr. Counsel Josh Hammer, Timon Cline, & Yoram Hazony. It calls on SCOTUS to reverse the 1947 Everson case, which held that the Establishment Clause applies to the states & requires a separation of church & state. 1/

Ending Medicaid in order to build concentration camps. I feel, as always, there should be some kind of nonstop barrage of ads across America, every Democrat on every platform saying something like “Republicans want to end Medicaid in words to build concentration camps.”

Thank you, Sen. Warren for shining the light on what the MAGA republicans are doing to our country.

Holy Crap. Just straight up looting at this point. Or like was already looting. But just bringing in a semi to haul out the loot faster.

“Is there any sign of life?”
“Have we heard a heartbeat?”
“Does she feel any kicking?”
“We don’t have the equipment to do that.”

That’s the full 911 audio from a nurse inside an ICE detention center near Denver, calling for help as a four-months-pregnant woman bled and cried out in pain.

Trump White House: “Everyone knows what happens when you drop fourteen 30,000 pound bombs perfectly on their targets: total obliteration.”

CENTCOM: *gently but firmly clears throat like Number Two in Austin Powers*

When Mitch McConnell says people upset about Medicaid cuts will "get over it," he means they'll die and stop complaining.

Why is the press reporting that the concentration camp plan is for immigrants who are here illegally? ICE is currently deporting people here legally, including a smattering of American citizens. That's not going to change. So, the camps will be for brown people. Just say the truth, MSM.

I’ve wondered this too. I’m sure it’s out there.

Use your privilege to access abortion care for yourself while denying others the same. Same as it ever was.

In the ruling that govt can't detain Abrego Garcia on criminal pretrial detention, Holmes pointed to holes in govt case that KAG had a minor in his van when he was stopped in 2022.
1) USG witness didn't take this picture of roster.
2) USG didn't call Trooper Foster who did. 1/n

The day before Kristi Noem's goons premeditated an arrest of Brad Lander, NYC amended its lawsuit against Noem, catching them lying to explain their theft of $80M.

I'd say that's just a coinkydink...But Ras Baraka is suing Noem too.

Hmmm... seems bad that Senate Dems are pretending not to know anything about this specific provision in the bill when asked by @ericmgarcia.bsky.social... Seems like coordinated faux ignorance.

Completely unacceptable!
