Trump and Musk are just stringing Ukraine along and letting Russia attack it with impunity. And the American press is foolishly falling for blue smoke and mirrors, arguing whether Musk or Trump are responsible. Hint, they both are!

Republican politicians are *obsessed* with schoolchildren coming home a different gender because of pro-trans teachers, WHICH NEVER HAPPENS. But they are completely indifferent to schoolchildren not coming home *at all* because of guns, WHICH HAPPENS ALL THE TIME!

In the 25 years since 9/11, the United States has spent $8 trillion+ on wars that have taken millions of lives in the name of fighting "terror." Can you imagine if we had instead invested those funds here on climate, health care, housing, and education?

Republicans have given up on winning the war of ideas. Whether it is rigging the system to prevent vote-by-mail or rigging the redistricting process, cheating is the only way they plan to hold on to power. Now, they're rigging the census and hope that the topic is so boring that we just tune out.

The fact that Mamdani just seems like a cheerful normal guy who's policies are things like "we're going to tax second homes to fund pothole repairs" or whatever and yet this generates panicked responses like "This is basically Stalin's great purge turned up to eleven" is... telling. It tells things.

This whole thing was a setup for TV and that any news organization takes this even remotely at face value is going to turn me into the Joker.

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

Our best hope, as I have been saying for a long time, is that as life gets worse and worse for more and more people in more and more ways, they correctly blame Republicans for it.

ICE detention deaths are now occurring at a rate of roughly one every four days. Three weeks ago that rate was one every six days. The pace is accelerating, and Congress has not launched a single investigation.

This is not the way serious leaders talk about war.

Hegseth: "Death & destruction from the sky all day. We're playing for keeps. Our warfighters have maximum authorities granted personally by POTUS & yours truly. Our rules of engagement are bold, precise designed to unleash American power, not shackle it ... we are punching them while they are down"

Also how much he loves describing people being killed and raped, etc.

I think it’s time to acknowledge that Trump is a sadist. He likes harming people, killing them: - USAID vaporization, 10m dead - Killing people on high seas - ICE terror regime - Cutting health care, food assistance to tens of millions - Iran War, backing genocidal Putin

Draft-dodging chicken-hawks love to talk tough (from their fancy, gold-plated beach resorts). But they have NO CLUE what war is really about. We need a War Powers vote NOW. You deserve to know who wants to send your kids to war to fight for Trump's lies.

Trump: The lives of American heroes may be lost, and we may have casualties — that often happens in war.

a reporter could get trump to confess to everything by asking him if he just wasnt famous enough to go to the island, just say youve heard he “never had the juice”

Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones. Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people. But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

Dems coalescing around 5 restrictions on ICE, I'm told: DHS required to cooperate with state probes (big) CBP stays at border warrants for arrests IDs, bodycams ICE out of churches, schools "That package unites a lot of Dems," Sen Chris Murphy tells me on the pod: newrepublic.com/article/2057...

If this had happened when Clinton, Obama or Biden were in office, the right-wing infosphere would be having a meltdown about jack-booted thugs murdering an innocent man who was lawfully exercising his 2nd Amendment rights. Now where’s the outrage? www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

The Trump-Vance administration just used your taxes to pay for ICE agents to kill a 37-year-old nurse, who was only there because another ICE agent killed a 37-year-old mother of three, who was only there because ICE agents are kidnapping your neighbors

Christopher Webb@cwebbonline.com

Sunday, at least 7 ICE agents stormed a house and took an elderly man out into the freezing cold, wearing only his underwear and a blanket. He was a member of the Hmong community, which came to the area from Laos in the 1970s after siding with the US in the Vietnam War. Notice the suppressors 1/2

Hypnodini reposted

Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.

Note to the entire world: Stop trying to manage Trump. Stop trying to work with him. He betrays everyone. Always. He is irrational. Erratic. The only way to stop his damage is to stop him, contain him, isolate him, reject him, stand up to him. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

It's remarkable that Trump's claim that there are no constraints on his power other than his "own morality"--that he thinks he can govern as a dictator--proved to be a 1-day story, with no follow-up coverage in the New York Times, to whom he said this, or, as far as I can tell, any other newspaper.
