Trump's thugs are going hog wild and tossing gas around in one of the busiest commercial districts in Minneapolis, just a mile or so from where I live. Complete insanity.

A felon who married an immigrant is telling a lot of y’all that the problems in this country all stem from felons and immigrants.
But keep buying that stupid red hat that’s made in China.

Ordinary people are being so righteously brave in their defense of a Constitution that theoretically protects their rights, but does not protect their bodies from the government stormtroopers ripping it to shreds.
A video of ICE agents conducting door-to-door searches today in Minneapolis
The homeowner requests a warrant repeatedly, is told they don't require one, then is told they're getting it, then the agents storm in anyway
They also point a taser at her to try and disrupt filming

House of Un-American Activities Committee Part 2 The ReFascining
NEWSMAX: Do you think it's long past time for Tim Walz and Jacob Frey to do charged for clearly inciting violence against federal agents? Is there something Congress can do?
REP. SHERI BIGGS: Well, I certainly hope so, and I hope that'll be on the table for discussion this week. It's un-American.

The animating force at the heart of US conservatism currently is incandescent rage at the mere idea of women's autonomy and independence. An image of a smiling woman who looks insufficiently deferential for their tastes riles them up enough to tear up the social contract.
this is all it’s really about for them. Not domestic policy, not “economic anxiety”, just an endless desire to punish stand-ins for the Mommy who forced them take a bath, even if it tanks their own quality of life.

The puppy killer should be thrown to the wolves for some full circle justice.
1) Noem obstructed Congressional oversight & withheld Congressionally appropriated funds.
2) Noem compromised public safety, violated citizzen's due process, & directed unconstitutional actions.
3) Noem abused her office for personal benefit and steered federal dollars to associates.

"These guys are like the Brownshirts back before WW2!"
No, we're actually pretty fortunate that's not the case. The Brownshirts grew out of post-WWI Freikorps, which were groups of dead-eyed far-right WWI vets. What we have are over-armed, under-trained bullies and trash.

So the Dems are now the Rs mythical heroes? What?
Emmer: "You got Tim Walz literally sounding like Jefferson Davis. Our governor is saying we're at war with the federal government. He claims he can call the National Guard up. They want to tell people to protest, but what they're literally doing is encouraging more violence."

The dishonesty of “conservatives” about the killing of Renee Good makes me want to quote Lincoln: “When it comes to this I should prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretence of loving liberty -- to Russia where despotism can be taken pure, and without the base alloy of hypocrisy.”

One of the most significant differences between JD Vance and opiates is that only one ever gave his mom a moment’s pleasure.
Vance doesn't have to be the kind of person furious a mother would love her child enough to keep their favorite toys in the car, but he is, and it's a hell of his own making.

A six year old child doesn’t have a mother. All because a federal officer couldn’t control himself after a woman didn’t immediately follow his orders. What a small man. And even smaller men continue to defend his indefensible actions.

I remember people saying Sandy Hook was the last stop re: gun control, that if it didn’t happen after that event then it never would, but now I’m wondering if it might have portended something much larger in US politics: That nobody with power intended to do much about anything anymore.
