Republican politicians who think that Minneapolis is a political problem are missing the point. It is a moral problem. But they are in so deep that they cannot see just how morally bankrupt they have become. They do not understand that we are as revulsed by their complicity as by Trump's cruelty.

This lawless administration is now operating under the “what are you gonna do about it” doctrine. A John Roberts creation.

Lots of people are asking me why DOJ is leveraging the ICE deployment in Minnesota to obtain unreacted copies of the state's sensitive voter file data. I recently explained why this is the biggest legal story and may be the biggest political story of the year.

Watch and share.

Alex Jeffrey Pretti was an ICU nurse at a VA hospital. His life, through his profession, was dedicated to serving his community and our country.

As so many have now seen on video, his final act before he was killed by federal agents was doing everything in his power to protect his community.

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."

I am watching what is happening in Minneapolis on Ali Velshi and one of the ICE officers (off camera) literally says, “It’s like Call of Duty. Pretty cool huh?” as they shoot whatever it is they are shooting. Agents walking around, guns unholstered for no reason. This is insanity

We really need better mental health services in the US.

This many men, with glaring daddy issues, should not have big platforms to spread their dysfunctions without anyone saying “dude, go get some therapy before you come back to work”.
Sometimes it feels like we are a nation beholden to the unresolved daddy issues of scared little authoritarians like “freedom loving Patriot” Glenn Beck.

Stop what you’re doing and read this whistleblower report. ICE has been training its agents that they don’t need a judicial warrant to break down your door - a blatant violation of the 4th Amendment. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

The only time Tacos are not a good thing.
The TACO cycle:

Markets want to price in TACO. But TACO only works if Trump sees stocks tank.

So we get a loop: Trump does things → nothing happens (markets already priced in TACO) → that emboldens him to do more → until markets start to think he might not TACO → stocks fall → TACO is restored.

THUS FAR NO JUSTICE SEEMS HAPPY WITH TRUMP'S ARGUMENT THAT HE CAN REMOVE COOK THIS WAY.

While I agree that we can do more...

So can leaders in the US by not kissing Trump's ass

So can International leaders by not kissing Trump's ass

So can billionaires by not kissing Trump's ass

The issue is what they're getting from Trump that keeps him going.

US Immigration is all like "oh noes, the Black people have money!"

This is what happens when you hire underqualified people and don't give them enough training.

We're allowed to carry up to $10k per person on international flights... and these are US Citizens.
"It only cost taxpayers $1.7 million for us to seize $14,135, y'all!"

Internal bleeding is hyperbole for "a bruise" - which he did not get from the vehicle, but more likely from his own lame attempts to keep holding his phone while murdering a woman in cold blood.

This Administration isn't just hurting us, it's hurting our future as the mistrust, anger and trauma will carry thru for generations to come.
This is 10th-grader Arnoldo Bazan.

A citizen.

Immigration agents grabbed him and put him in a chokehold.

"We're from the United States bro!' he screamed.

Agents took and sold his phone

And when he finally got home hours later, his shirt was ripped, he neck had angry, red welts, and he sobbed.

This is what I'm talking about... until law & order has been restored within our own Administration and with ICE - until Congress' constitutional oversight is back on the schedule - I DON'T CARE IF THE CLINTON'S TESTIFY AT THE GOP'S PARTISAN BS CIRCUS RING!!
Under Trump's watch, a DHS agent shot a protestor in the face with a non-lethal round at close range, fractured his skull, and then dragged him around as he choked and bled. He is now permanently blind in his left eye.

I will never forget what Trump supporters have enabled.

They own all of this.

I don’t think I’ll have any trouble switching from 2025 to 2026…

My life was solid this last year:

- Us & Kids are healthy
- college tuitions are paid
- Work / side jobs are good

We’re nervous about expenses & HC, scared for immigrants & LGBTQ friends but optimistic that tyranny will not last.

JFC all the "the left" people claiming "liberals" need to understand things when "the left" doesn't even understand how subjective terms, that mean different things to different people, works.

It's a lot of blocking going on today.

Education time, because there are a lot of trolls on here who are trying to divide us.

"Liberal" is an umbrella term - everything from socialism to moderate fkers are included under that term.

Liberalism = believes the government should work for us & we can all discuss ways that can be done.

Controversial take:

If receiving a bonus from my employer causes me to get taxed at 40% then shareholders should also be taxed at 40% when they receive their shares.

Imagine having a pretty nice career... and then siding with the inexperienced and political hack Bari Weiss when all the evidence points to political interference & a complete lack of journalistic standards and professionalism.
