Never forget the most ironclad rule of politics:
Every abuse you justify against another will be weaponized against you in time.
To cheer abuse, violence, or the suspension of others’ rights is to cheer the abuse, violence, and suspension of your own.

This is the sort of statement that was expected from every university president and law firm partner over the last year. That those statements weren’t made played a huge part in where we are now and people will remember.
Jerome Powell: "This is about whether the Fed will be able to continue to set interest rates based on evidence and economic conditions—or whether instead monetary policy will be directed by political pressure or intimidation."

There it is. Cops can kill who they want and not take shit from some woman. Anyone gonna do anything or is it up to us to "vote" this guy out of office lol
Q: "Do you believe that deadly force was necessary?"
Trump: "It was highly disrespectful of law enforcement. The woman and her friend were highly disrespectful of law enforcement…Law enforcement should not be in a position where they have to put up with this stuff."

ICE totaled this car, abducted a woman, and then left it in the middle of Snelling Avenue, one of the busiest streets in the Twin Cities.
This isn’t law and order, this state sanctioned terrorism. It’s fucking disgusting.

So the Chairman of the Fed released a public message saying that Trump's illegally trying to strongarm him, meanwhile a bunch of 4-stars at the Pentagon opted to retire and remain quiet so Hegseth wouldn't mess with their pension.

Do they want VBIEDs? Because this is how you get VBIEDs on American streets. They're literally trying to create an insurgency.

"defund the police" is where things ended up at, because every police reform victory ended up meaningless because cops could and did ignore them, and that was possible because they could and did threaten local government officials who would have to actually enforce those reforms.

Here’s some things that can be done by a party out of power
- file impeachment articles every day in the House
- withhold unanimous consent in the senate and filibuster every nominee
- be everywhere with comms saying this is lawless and impeachable

“ICE needs more training” is an echo of the weak circa 2003 democratic stance that “we need more body armor in Iraq.” It’s a wish washy poll tested bit of pablum meant to appeal to some mythical middle. Like ending the Iraq War the only real position is to abolish ICE.

The issue with ICE is not training, the issue with ICE is that it fundamentally should not exist. The violence is the purpose

Since 2016, I've been telling people that Trump is emotionally exoskeletal. There are no hidden depths, no secret heart. You can trust that what he says at any given moment is exactly what he feels *at that time*. It might change; it likely will. He's an emotional amoeba lurching between impulses.
All art about Trump will end up being pro-Trump propaganda simply by virtue of writers and directors giving him more depth than he has. There really is nothing else there. He's just a mobster. He has *no* depth. Zero. None. He likes steak and blondes and gold. That's all there is to him.

"Humane deportations" are a myth. The entire idea is oxymoronic. Deportations are inherently violent. This was always the logical end point of ICE and every dem has spent the last 20 years helping to build and expand the American gestapo.

A reminder from Huffington Post that DHS and ICE have opened fire on unarmed civilians 16 times since Trump took office, killing 4 people. In every case, DHS claims that the victims "assaulted officers" and/or tried to ram them with cars. In every case, evidence proves they are lying. Every time.
A Disturbing Pattern Has Emerged In Trump's Second Term — And It's Playing Out With Renee Good
“How else do you justify shooting a stay-at-home mom with stuffed animals in her car?” the attorney for one woman who survived a federal agent’s gunfire told HuffPost.

Yet again, and I can’t believe I have to say this, a really good way to make it absolutely clear that it would be ridiculous to invade and occupy Greenland would be for EVERY DEMOCRAT TO MAKE IT CLEAR THAT THEY WOULD RETURN IT IMMEDIATELY IF THEY TAKE BACK THE PRESIDENCY!
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.
