National Park Service workers across the U.S. are removing materials about slavery, climate change and labor history to comply with an order from President Trump. In some of the first legal pushback, the city of Philadelphia sued the Trump administration on Thursday. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/23/c...

If you think American citizens should be summarily executed by masked federal agents, you’re not a patriot.

The Trump regime is firing people for following the law and pardoning and promoting people who break the law. Exactly what you'd expect from a convicted felon bent on domination. We know where this is going.

In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi.
He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael.
At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk.
Wael died on Friday at age 30.
ICE caused his death.
They didn’t get to say goodbye.

The Democratic voter who needs to be excited, rather than disciplined and focused, is why Trump has twice come into office with full control of the WH and Congress.
Yes, heaven forbid that the Democratic Party ever again nominate a candidate that Democratic voters are actually excited about. We learned our lesson in 1972, right? The party, its consultants and wealthiest donors must decide and the voters will just have to suck it up.

Los Angeles is almost certainly the worst governed major blue city in the entire country at this point
L.A. Metro, the main transit operator for Los Angeles, just voted to oppose SB 79, a law legalizing the construction of housing near stations. You can't make this stuff up. Legislators should remember this the next time they come to Sacramento begging for more money.

What ICE will do in every safe and beautiful blue city it goes into— from Minneapolis in Minnesota to Portland in Maine—is crow about the 1-2 people with serious long-ago convictions that they detained while saying nothing at all about the 1,000 other innocents and nonviolent people they terrorized.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!
ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

"The problem with NATO is that we'll be there for them 100% but I'm not sure that they'd be there for us, if we gave them the call".
We did get the call on 9/11. 26 NATO members sent troops to defend the US. Hundreds died doing so. It was the only time Article 5 has been activated.

We all have a right to be angry at GOP voters -- that almost goes without saying. But I still maintain a special reserve of vitriol for people who can't be bothered to vote at all. They, by themselves, could have prevented this. They, by themselves, can stop this whenever they want to.
