Eventually, Republicans will begin eating each other. It would be better for the rest of us if we could ensure that was sooner rather than later.

I don't think pointing out the fascists' 'hypocrisy' is a good use of time. It's not hypocrisy, it's hierarchy. They actually do believe that they have the right and obligation to dominate you because they are superior to you. They are using their power not being hypocritical.

I have no sympathy nor regret for today's action at the Utah rally.
He has said it himself - live by the sword, die by the sword (in so many words).
I still think that murder is wrong - even in our current situation.

average Dem strategist: we must focus on bipartisan policies that undercut Republican attacks
average Dem voter: having studied the denazification of Germany, we must raze the RNC and leave JD Vance clutching a single wool blanket in a cell after we strip him of everything

JUST IN: A federal judge has barred Washington state from enforcing a law that would have required priests to report evidence of child abuse learned during confession.
The Trump administration had intervened on the side of the Catholic clergy.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

This is amazing, let’s go! Blue states are fighting back against Trump’s threats to withhold funding by introducing bills that give the federal government a taste of its own medicine.

Basically, Americans agree that Trump's secret police organized as ICE are essentially like the German Geheime Staatspolizei or Gestapo. But for Republicans, this is something positive.

I endorse this approach. Indeed, it's obvious. Start just by playing Noem's remarks before her security goons punched out Sen Padilla.

@padilla.senate.gov is being interviewed right now by @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social and he is tearing up about his parents and the mistreatment of immigrants.
He cares, and he gets it, and NO ONE deserves to be persecuted for trying to make a life here.

BREAKING: LAPD didn’t just “detain” someone. They surrounded him, beat him, and jumped him — like a gang. On camera. On horses. While he screamed for help. Unarmed. Cornered. Alone.
If that’s not state violence, what the fuck is?
