If a history book needed the nutshell quote for MAga, here it is. Again.
Trump on drug prices: "This is like hundreds of percent, depending on how you want to calculate it. You could say it's an 80% reduction or you could say it's a 1,000% reduction. You could say whatever you want."

Here's what ICE is up to in Northeast Minneapolis today. Absolutely heartbreaking.

It's hilarious that they're pretending Tom Homan is some kind of voice of calm and reason. He looks and sounds like someone who would be hitting Dick Tracy's knees with a hammer

Seems like they should give these guys heavy weapons and let them run wild with no accountability. Fuck, let them do meth on the job. 🤷🏼
Here's the full video, btw: state and local police violating first amendment rights in the bitter cold while ICE quite literally shows their whole ass

An astute way of framing the challenge from @maddow.bsky.social: How will you say no?
"How will you say 'no' this week when an appropriations bill is going to be considered? Will you contact your representatives? Will you ask them, for the love of God and the love of human beings... to vote against renewing funding for such a lawless organization?"

Cardinal Tobin: Pray, mourn and say 'no' to ICE funding
In a reflection delivered during an online interfaith prayer service hosted by Faith in Action, Tobin employed some of the strongest language yet by a U.S. cardinal to condemn the Trump administration...

ICE is responsible for 67 percent of the homicides in Minneapolis this year.
Leavitt: "Nobody in the White House, including President Trump, wants to see people getting hurt or killed in America's streets. This includes Renee Good, Alex Pretti, the brave men and women of law enforcement, and the many Americans who have been victimized by illegal alien criminals"

This center cannot hold.
They are just lawless thugs pretending to playing 'Call of Duty' in the streets of Minnesota. They have no qualms about running their armored car into civilians.
Even CCP tank stopped for the Tank Man.

Good afternoon from downtown Chicago, where despite heavy snowfall, thousands have gathered for an anti-ICE/CBP demonstration in solidarity with the Twin Cities. More are still streaming in.
Lt. Illinois Gov. Juliana Stratton just addressed the crowd, and called for ICE to be abolished.

More of this. American military showing up to protect American citizens from threats.
Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

This is the Twin Towers Correctional Facility in Los Angeles, which is operated by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
The department regularly collaborates with ICE and assists in screening immigrants for deportation.

Well in his defense he is senile, demented, crazy and stupid.
AOC: The president has been acting in increasingly erratic ways. It is really damning when we think about the degree to which media outlets reported on Joe Biden, yet we are seeing behavior from Trump that is alarming and everyone is pretending this is normal.
