As alarmist as this sounds, remember that it was GENOCIDE JOE who started undermining the UN, the ICJ, and the ICC.

American refusal to adhere to any rules-based-order is not news. That part is business-as-usual.

PEDOTUS merely has no friends to cover for him, and no tact to cover for himself.

The fall or rather implosion of the US is absolutely inevitable. Trump and the US empire are accelerationists. Making it happen faster. In a way that could easily lead to nuclear global annihilation. WW3. 8 billion people will die if we do not stop the US empire. Insanity.

"ICE has definitely gone too far but we still n-" no we don't. Whatever the purist version of what you think their job is supposed to be is, we don't need them for that. We can just get rid of all of it and put that money towards some, anything else.

YES!

FDR was the last good boyfriend America ever had.

Everyone after that has lost ground to the regressives.

Go back to FDR.

I don't need to hear anything about or from the Clintons again

It's been 30 years

They were good for their time and that time is over

FDR- THAT'S a president who's still relative

We're descendants of FDR, not Clinton

Let's operate from that platform

Saw that post about how people can't abolish ICE right away.

And now I'm at my personal level of "understanding why Lenin & Stalin shot everybody"...

Not rational but I understand the "urge"

It should have been EVERYONE is banned from possessing a firearm while masking.

ICE is not law enforcement. It is a human-trafficking crime gang. It may not be caught by these laws.

Pregnancies are EXTREMELY BIO-EXPENSIVE.

No one has the right to spend the bodies of women.

"Our new analysis shows that it is far more dangerous to be pregnant than to have an abortion, and this gap in mortality risk is even larger than previously recognized.” - lead study author Maria Steenland.
In fact, the mortality risk of pregnancy is 44 to 70 times higher than from abortion.
Risk of maternal death during pregnancy greatly underestimated, study finds
A new study comparing deaths of pregnant people and of those who have an abortion show that risk of death due to pregnancy is three times higher than previously estimated.

I wonder if PEDOTUS is jealous of families who actually like each other?

Or maybe he is jealous of men who don't sexualize and sell their infant children?

Did a Hispanic family refuse to sell their children to the Epstein crime ring?

We'll know if we ever see the #EpsteinFiles!

ICE doesn’t de-escalate, it escalates, then runs.

🚨ICE agent pepper-sprays woman after shoving her. Totally unnecessary. Santa Barbara police and paramedics showed up to clean up the mess. ICE already fled the scene.

ICE activity has not noticeably tapered off yet here and in fact this week they seem to be focused on terrorizing kids at bus stops and schools.
chrislhayes.bsky.social Chris Hayes @chrislhayes.bsky.social · 17h
yes, there are no real signs of any big change in DHS activity here yet. In Chicago there really was after Bovino left and they basically ended "Midway Blitz" not so here so far.

I don’t know, declaring victory in MN seems premature. They’re still arresting people and brutalizing the community. The changes appear—so far—to be cosmetic

ICE murdered Good and Pretti it’s time we refuse to bankroll the system that executed them.

Two U.S. citizens were shot and killed by federal immigration enforcement agents in Minneapolis this month first Renee Good, and then ICU nurse Alex Pretti.

Settlement talks in the National Guard litigation between Illinois and the Trump administration have reached an impasse, lawyers report tonight:
JOINT STATUS REPORT Pursuant to this Court’s minute entry of January 14, 2026 (ECF 120), the parties submit this Joint Status Report to report on whether the settlement negotiations have been productive and whether they request that the case be stayed for an additional period of time, as follows: 1. The parties have been engaged in discussions regarding resolving this case but are not in accord on certain material elements and terms. As a result, the parties have not been able to resolve the litigation and do not anticipate being able to do so at this time. The parties now diverge on their views as to the most appropriate and efficient path to resolution of this matter. 2. Plaintiffs’ Position: The State of Illinois and the City of Chicago, based on the operative documents and the December 23, 2025 decision of the Supreme Court in this matter, consider defendants’ liability on Count I, the ultra vires claim for a violation of 10 U.S.C. § 12406, clear as a matter of law. As favorable resolution of that claim will afford the plaintiffs the declaratory and injunctive relief they seek in this action, plaintiffs intend to move for partial summary judgment as to liability on Count I. While defendants have stated the view that their planned motion to dismiss (discussed below) should be resolved prior to the summary judgment motion, a motion for summary judgment may be brought at this time. Fed. R. Civ. P. 56(b). Plaintiffs propose the following schedule for their partial summary judgment briefing: summary judgment motion and supporting papers due February 27; opposition papers due March 27; and reply papers due April 10, 2026. Plaintiffs recognize that defendants plan to seek dismissal on mootness grounds by February 6. However, defendants’ proposed deadline for plaintiffs’ response to their motion, February 20, is short, including a holiday weekend, and would set a deadline for our brief one week before our proposed summary judgment motion deadline. As such, plaintiffs ask instead that their response to defendants’ motion should be set not sooner than March 10, 2026, two weeks after our summary judgment motion deadline. Plaintiffs do not oppose a continuing stay of discovery and case deadlines other than the briefing discussed herein, during the pendency of the parties’ motions. Plaintiffs do not seek a referral to the magistrate judge for settlement purposes at this time. 3. Defendants’ Position: Defendants request that this case, including discovery, continue to be stayed except for possible briefing on dispositive motions. While Defendants continue to believe that the most efficient approach—one that would conserve party and judicial resources—is for the parties to settle this case without further litigation, Defendants understand that the parties are presently at an impasse in their discussions.

Masking is not about doxing. That is the excuse. They are wearing masks so people cannot identify agents who engage in abuses, civil rights violations, and crimes. You can’t report someone or hold them accountable in any way if you can’t identify them.
