Trump on data centers: "I say let them come in ... you should really be cool on data centers because you can make a fortune with the data centers" (Note the total silence of the crowd during this rant!)
If you think a test for dementia is an IQ test, you have dementia.
If you don't realize you have been given a test for dementia because your physician suspects you have dementia, you have dementia.
If you think being able to tell a giraffe from a whale makes you a genius . . . you have dementia.
Trump wants to make sure it’s as easy as possible for his friend Putin to bomb apartment buildings and kill children. He’s not just the worst president in history, he’s the most evil person to ever serve at the highest level of government. Vote out his weak Republican enablers.
This is now a standard part of Trump's campaign stump, a direct threat to voters: if you elect Democrats, I won't send you FEMA money, and I may take away your Medicare and Medicaid, too. These transcripts will be useful for litigation to follow.
ICE BEHIND THE MASKS HAVE NAMES
2 masked agents threatened to arrest Robert Peck for legally observing them. He sued.
“And now, because of a lawsuit, the (ICE) agents have names.” A Hylton
📌Nicholas Lapointe
📌Christopher Semler
I hope more people take ICE to court when their rights are violated.
These people make Marie Antoinette look connected to the people and empathetic by comparison. They laugh at what their own voters are going through as they continue to mock them as they enrich themselves and have a great time.
Rep. @aoc.bsky.social : “To see what Patriots owner Robert Kraft did to line up all the stadiums to censor speech in that one specific way… this isn’t just about one artist.”
BREAKING: Judge Beryl Howell has ruled that the FBI will have to release documents related to Trump's mishandling of classified documents in a FOIA case brought by Jason Leopold. From Kyle Cheney: www.politico.com/news/2025/02...
@aliciamenendez.bsky.social Darlene is not in the “early part of her political career”. She has no past career in politics. She needs to win an election first. She’s always been a Lindsey supporter and volunteer. Career means occupation and she does not and has never had any occupation in politics.
NEW INFO HAS REVEALED that the 28-year-old Mexican man killed while running from ICE last week was just visiting on short tourist visa—and already had a plane ticket to go home.

Pete Hegseth seems *obsessed* with the appearance of the men in our military. He monitors how much facial hair they have. He wants them to get bigger muscles by doing pull-ups. And now he wants them to take testosterone.
Is he running a military or a stable of porn actors?
I let my daughter, 9, stay up a little late to finish reading her third Nancy Drew mystery, by the lamp at her bed. Is it 1955? 1985? What is happening? Not a phone in sight, literacy thriving; don’t let the world fall apart.
"I read the news today, oh boy
Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire
And though the holes were rather small
They had to count them all
Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall"
Not feeling good about giving my hard earned money to the oligarchs, to fund illegal & unnecessary "wars,"or fund any of this admin's crooked schemes.
Not at all 'good.'
Imagine if instead of spending billions of dollars supporting terrorists or weapons, the United States had spent that money helping the people of the United States
A federal appeals court rules that the Trump administration acted illegally when it ended legal protections that gave hundreds of thousands of people from Venezuela permission to live and work in the U.S.
The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.
Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."
Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.
White. Hot. Rage.
CNN: DHS officials have come to FEMA staff and told them to limit the use of the word ice…they are worried that by posting something like, watch out for the ice, that it's going to become a meme….
There is video circulating on social media of a group of ICE agents beating a man near 26th and Nicollet in south Minneapolis, then one of the ICE agents shoots the man while he's on the ground numerous times. A witness can be heard yelling that the victim is dead.
"Should we vote to give more money to the people shooting my constituents in the face?" is not a complicated political question. And yet, Democrats don't seem able to answer it.
Breaking news: The Trump administration acknowledged for the first time that members of the U.S. DOGE Service accessed and shared sensitive Social Security data without the awareness of agency officials, months after a whistleblower raised concerns.
Brooklyn Park police chief Mark Bruley: "We're hearing people being stopped with no cause & being demanded to show paperwork to determine if they're here legally. We started hearing from our police officers the same complaints. Every one of these individuals is a person of color... it has to stop"
I am not exaggerating when I say ICE functions as a terrorist organization in the Twin Cities. The goal seems to be to harass and frighten people (the ones who are lucky enough to not be abducted, at least) and it's deeply unsettling when you learn they're in your neighborhood.
