I'm not sure how much more blatant it can get that these guys are looting the federal government and then pointing over there and saying "look what THOSE BLACK PEOPLE ARE GETTING AWAY WITH!!!" bsky.app/profile/atru...
Stephen Miller claims Somali-Americans in Minnesota are "buying Mercedes, buying BMWs, they buy a nice house, all their kids fly first class all over the world" (This is a lie!)

One of the first things Dems should do with their majority is predicate QI on proper use of body cams. No body cam, it's attempted murder.
The ICE officer who shot a Venezuelan man in Austin was not using a body camera during the Sunday incident, according to news reports. The officer was issued a body camera, but it is unclear why he was not wearing the device during the shooting.

Court can't go on like this. The Constitution as plainly as possible says people who were born here have an unequivocal right to citizenship. Four people whose ONLY job is to read the Constitution for the rest of their lives just tried to overturn it because they're tired of brown people. Pack it.

To this day, one of the most unbelievable facts we’ve ever published in @boltsmag.org: Over a 40-year period, *80* percent of death row convictions in Louisiana have ended up getting reversed.
Big in Louisiana today: State Supreme Court upheld decision vacating the conviction of Chris Duncan, who spent 26 years on death row claiming innocence. Context: 80% of people on Louisiana death row have been exonerated; this conviction hinged on discredited doctors. We reported on case here:

"What do you rebuild in its place?" I don't know, fucking flowers? Wild grass? The overwhelming beauty of literally anything else? It's not just a metaphor, you have to destroy the surveillance palace that doubles as a fascist bunker if you don't want disconnection to be part of American governance.
I don't like Newsom to begin with, but this disqualifies him all by itself. Anyone who leave a brick standing that Trump put in place is just inviting the next authoritarian to do the same thing. Destruction in this case is cleansing.

Let me get this straight: Bari Weiss has radically edited the new Trump interview on 60 Minutes? Let's not forget that Weiss lost her mind over standard editing of a Kamala Harris interview in 2024. But as Juliet shows, this Trump editing goes way beyond standard broadcast practices. Good grief.
The video version of this is behind a paywall BUT the transcript is free for anyone to read. I went through the version that aired on CBS and the full 40 minutes that was included online and show exactly what was cut and what wasn’t. open.substack.com/pub/decoding...

👀The federal judges in West Virginia, where ICE has been pulling over and detaining people on the freeway, are literally screaming about ICE's tactics. "It is an assault on the constitutional order," Judge Goodwin says. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Looking like Rehmet will win SD9, a +17 Trump district, by 15 points. The district hasn't elected a Democrat since 1991. Wow.
Hard to overstate how big a deal a Rehmet win would be. Tarrant County is the epicenter of Christian nationalism in Texas, an incubator for far-right policies, and nexus of billionaire Tim Dunn's network, which is riding hard for Wambsganss. Rehmet almost entirely funded by donations of $100 or less

"You can’t bring 'transparency and accountability' to an organization whose agents defiantly wear masks while openly threatening citizens with deadly violence. More training won't help. The problem is the organization itself. Ending ICE is what will make Americans safer." — @playtyperguy.com

No one fucking understands "restrain, reform, and restrict." It's weak-ass bullshit. Everyone knows what "abolish" means and what you stand for. Jesus fuck, Schumer, read the fuckin' room.
Honestly any Dem who gets on board with this ChatGPT like "restrain, reform and restrict" messaging written up by some cowardly messaging flack in DC for Schumer/Dems - should kiss his or her presidential or any higher aspirations good bye. Softer than cotton candy. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

this is right. you don't have to work out every detail. start with no. go from there.
Senate Dems needn’t come to agreement on everything right now. That’s a path to the lowest common denominator. They simply have to agree to filibuster DHS approps. As to which of a host of anti-brutality and anti-authoritarian proposals to advance, let a thousand flowers bloom.

Can't believe I'm retweeting Bill fucking Kristol
Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

That is an ICE agent pepper spraying a restrained victim in the face at close quarters; it's an unquestionable and indefensibly abusive use of excessive force that should (but won't) be criminally prosecuted as assault
