Seeing a bunch of normal ass midwestern moms and dads marching in -20 degrees knowing they might be tear gassed or worse really drives home what a cowardly lot of people the pundit class is

Big shout out to the people still posting on the CSAM website. Good job being unable to make the smallest possible sacrifice imaginable
In our conservative estimate, 41 percent of Grok’s images — or 1.8 million — were sexualized depictions of women. Separately, CCDH analyzed how many were sexualized images across genders and ages. Their findings: an estimated 3 million images, including more than 23,000 of children.

Democratic leadership is terrified of being seen on the side of the people of Minneapolis, least they lose the potential future support of pro-cop people whose support they do not and never will have.
I have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years. I have never seen anything approaching this scale. Minneapolis is not accepting what's happening here. ICE fucking murdered a woman for participating in this, and all that did is bring out more people, from more walks of life.

Yes to all of this. I am a single issue voter until ICE is abolished.
Democratic Leadership will never cut funding for ICE state-sanctioned terrorism without extreme pressure.

That’s why a coalition of creators (w/ a reach of over 20 million followers) & organizers are presenting them with an ultimatum if they don’t whip their caucuses against this DHS funding bill.

When I was on I was so excited that there was a baseball category, so of course the returning champion also knew them all and it was just a buzzer fight. I know the clips of entire sports categories going dead are fun, but a lot of high-level quizzers are also high-level sports nerds.
this is great

The idea that there are no protests in the US and no one is standing up to Trump is proving incredibly hard to kill over here in Germany. It’s become dogma, utterly detached from empirical reality.

I wonder if the people who keep talking like that understand they’re perpetuating regime propaganda.

DOGE likely perpetrated the most serious, far-reaching data breaches in human history, and we will be dealing with the consequences for years.

Many DOGErs should have been, and still could be, prosecuted for these crimes.
NEWS: The Social Security Administration has referred two DOGE employees for Hatch Act violations after discovering contacts with a political group seeking SSA data to overturn election results. www.politico.com/news/2026/01...

Not headline news. No real fuss by Democratic leaders. No calls to censure. No pushback. No questions asked of GOP leadership by the press.

Just totally accepted anti-Muslim bigotry across the board.

This is the sixth death in ICE custody in 18 days. This isn’t enforcement, it’s a system that cages people, outsources care, and shrugs when they die. Abolish ICE.

ultimately they think soft power isnt power because negotiating deals in good faith is girly and gay but threatening to take something by force without consent is manly and cool, have we mentioned how many men accused of sexual assault are in this administration because it seems instructive

The Trump-Vance administration just used your taxes to pay for an ICE agent to do this to a 21-year-old kid, who was only protesting because another ICE agent killed a mother of three, who was only there because ICE agents are kidnapping your neighbors

Among the problems with Gov. Walz’s approach:
1. The Administration and Trump will lie about peaceful things being violent, relentlessly, and the media will do a bad job calling it out.
2. ICE will murder peaceful people and the Trump Administration will endorse it.

@repmarkdesaulnier.bsky.social, why did you vote in favor of HR 7006? This doesn't seem consistent with your values so I hope there's something I'm misunderstanding.

A few months ago, ICE hired me

I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable

And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!"
