As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.

ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

Ryan reposted

ALL MN PROTESTERS Absolutely nothing could be worse for our cause than violence and rioting. It is what ICE and Trump obviously want. Do not burn down our own city to protest invaders; they do not care; they will enjoy it. Do not do it. Do not let your fellow protesters do it.

America’s military leadership has more important things to do than listen to lectures on character from an unqualified drunk who assaults women. Any soldier who was as careless as Hegseth was with war plans would be fired if not prosecuted. And everyone in that room knows it.

The birthday letter from Trump to Epstein is disgustingly horrid. Trump says he’ll sue the Wall Street Journal for reporting it—so you know it’s probably true. The reflex is always the same: deny, threaten, and deflect. Never explain the friendship. Never show remorse. Just attack the truth.

Ryan reposted

All the MAGA infighting over the Epstein files comes down to this: Trump knew this was a popular issue with his base, so he ran on it. Loudly and daily. Now he wants to bury it because he and his friends and his donors are probably implicated. Release the files.

honestly does seem like the basic dynamic in american politics right now is that a critical number of voters treat Democrats like their (nagging) mom or their (bitch) wife and treat Republicans like the “cool” dad or husband who is at best a deadbeat

Happy Hitler Shoots Himself In The Head day to all who celebrate. The 80th anniversary. May his ignominious end, with his body doused in petrol and burned by his last remaining loyalists, be a model for all tyrants.

COLLINS: Can President Bukele weigh in on this? Do you plan to return Garcia? BUKELE: How can I smuggle a terrorist into the United States? Of course I'm not going to do it. The question is preposterous TRUMP: These are sick people

“We must be unafraid to be viewed as crazy, hyperbolic, over-the-top, and otherwise out there. Too many assessments of this moment still underestimate the danger. And far too many commentators spent the preceding years tut-tutting.” @aselrod.bsky.social with a reminder that we’re not the crazy ones

160 years ago today, the traitor Jefferson Davis and his treasonous cabinet abandoned Richmond, the capital of the Confederacy, spelling the beginning of the end of the Civil War. A day for all patriots to celebrate.

Will Cain is an evil person. He will lie and lie with a smirk. Notice the biggest smirk was when the very real possibility of Americans getting killed was raised. Fox News and people like Will use our men and women in uniform as props.

Wow- Himes during a heated exchange w/Will Cain on Fox: "I'm not gonna listen to to you tell me that this about a partisan advantage...it is by the grace of God that we don't have dead pilots right now...it makes me want to throw up to hear you turn this into a partisan issue. You just need to stop"

Lando's leadership of Cloud City in The Empire Strikes Back turned out to be a tragically prescient parable for our time. Leaders of institutions: Pay attention! A story in four parts. cc: Paul Weiss, Columbia University bcc: all law firms, universities, and civil society organizations

Tonight, hours after the Paul Weiss news broke, an associate at Skadden Arps sent a firm-wide email: "Please consider this email my two week notice, revocable if the firm comes up with a satisfactory response to the current moment...We do not have time. It is now or it is never..."

SANCHEZ: What do you tell your constituents when you hear auto makers say that the cost of certainly vehicle is gonna skyrocket? It's gonna jump upwards of $12,000 because of these tariffs? REP. LISA McCLAIN: I tell them to relax ... it might be a little uncomfortable

Ten years ago if you had written a dystopian SF story in which the person in charge of U.S. public health did a press event at a fast food joint to say that fried food is good but measles vaccines cause measles the ghost of Philip K. Dick would have said that you were being too bleak and unrealistic

RFK Jr on the measles vaccine: "There are adverse events from the vaccine. It does cause deaths every year. It causes all the illnesses that measles itself cause."

So MAGA needs to run down and buy a Tesla to support Musk, but their disabled vet neighbor who just lost his job at the VA is a lazy SOB taking advantage of a bloated government and deserves to be unemployed. They do worship their heroes to the extreme.

MAGA 2017: "Trump-Russia is a hoax and a slur." MAGA 2025: "Trump-Russia is the basis for our foreign policy and anybody who doesn't agree should be primaried out of the party."

GOP Sen. Susan Collins on Trump’s tariffs: “I'm very concerned about the tariffs going into effect. Maine and Canada's economy are integrated. Much of our lobster, blueberries are processed in Canada and then come back over. We have a paper mill in northern Maine that's right on the border.”

HERO vs ZERO I'm in a state of shock & still trying to process yesterday's shameful, traitorous debacle in the WH: A DAY THAT WILL LIVE IN INFAMY. Our standing in the world has plummeted overnight, but the repercussions will be felt forevermore. #SlavaUkraini🇺🇦 #ShameOnUS🇺🇸

Our decadent political class deserves to be shipped to the Ukrainian front lines - Republicans, Democrats, press, all of it. Maybe a few months of shelling and airstrikes will free them of their seemingly unshakable belief that Trump’s deranged reality must be always respected and tiptoed around
