It makes you sound crazy to say this out loud, but it's becoming increasingly clear that the United States government has been effectively toppled by a group of overt pedophiles

They are straight up killing the poorest Americans. Every charity in town that gets a government grant is being destroyed. They gutted EBT and Medicaid. Your student debt payment is going to triple. But Trump wants to loot $10 billion of YOUR TAX DOLLARS.
This. They are turning the wealth the American people have created over generations into cash for their own dirty pockets. It’s obscene.
MAGA people lining up wanting the taxpayers to give them money. Trump wants $10 billion. Lindsey wants $1 million. J6ers want money. Farmers want money. Of course CEOs want their contracts,
subsidies & tariff waivers. It’s griftapalooza at taxpayer expense for the gangsters.

Honestly, I long for the day again when I can wake in the morning and not have to brace myself from some new horror committed by a man and his regime who are feeding themselves on the ruins of public liberty.

We need to talk about the rise of "smol bean fascism" where you have all the guns and the immunity but the really scary people are the ones with whistles and phone cameras and they're giving you generational trauma and ptsd by filming you killing people for no reason

Homan’s message was crystal clear: Unless Miller, Noem and Homan go the problem will remain, our rights will be trampled, innocent people will suffer and die. They don’t feel any remorse or regret for the pain they have inflicted, the damage they have done.

notice how after ilhan omar was attacked by a maga true believer parroting donald trump, the mainstream media didnt kick off a multi-day orgy about how trump and other republicans need to change their tone and "lower the temperature"?

that discourse only goes one way for the msm.

It's a complete policy failure that 3 men es control basically all of social media, Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, and Larry Ellison. They control what we see, what we can share, and ultimately how we perceive reality. This is too much power on too few hands. These companies must be broken up.

i think something people really don't understand is that right now there are literally dozens of vulnerable Republican members of Congress whose loud and proud support for ICE are ripe for attacking this year but if Democrats join with them to pass "ICE reform" it lets all of them off the hook

Chuck Schumer's starting position should be as maximalist as possible -- complete abolition of ICE, resignations of Bovino, Homan, Noem and Miller, unmasking of all agents, and prosecution by state authorities of the murderers.

Don't start with what looks like a compromise half-measure.
Majority of the country now wants to abolish and/or dismantle ICE and yet Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. told the caucus the message had to be to “restrain, reform and restrict ICE.”

Once again it looks like Schumer is about to choke after getting a massive opportunity.

So pathetic and weak.
Senate Democrats plot strategy as DHS standoff deepens heading into shutdown week
Two sources who were on a Democratic caucus strategy call Sunday said Minority Leader Chuck Schumer told the group the message must be to “restrain, reform and restrict ICE.”

Stop what you’re doing and read this piece, which is as powerful as you’d expect from @adamserwer.bsky.social witnessing the events of last week on the ground in Minnesota. “The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they’re the ones who are alone.”

It's not quite the most pressing issue at the moment, but the American people absolutely have a right to know the names of the federal officials who shot and killed a man peacefully protesting, who was on his knees, prone in the street when they shot him in the back.

The people who have been saying for many years, and were laughed off by too many, that this isn’t about “illegals” they will do this to people here legally should not have to prove their already obvious point any longer given the rising body count of literal U.S. citizens

Still can't believe they immediately put the officers who killed Pretti back in the field. Even if the shooting had been justified (it wasn't), it's just incredibly callous and reckless -- to the public, but also to the officers themselves. Just a sociopathic dearth of humanity.

rightwingers see people caring about others in their community and instead of finding that inspiring they think it’s some sort of grand conspiracy because they don’t understand what it means to care for others you don’t personally know

Can’t get over that Pretti’s parents yesterday woke up thinking everything was normal and by the end of the day they were watching the federal government trash their dead son.

The fact that every right winger with influence screams "who is paying for all of this" tells you exactly how awash in cash they all are, and how much they rely on that to keep their movement afloat.
James O'Keefe says he's never seen anything so organized as the anti-ICE movement, observers--he seems to think this term is code--everywhere he goes. Who is paying for it??? he demands to know. It's like he can't even imagine people caring for one another.

Saying there must be trials isn't just an emotive aspiration.

Congress can:
- Create a new court (complying w/ 6A jury vicinage)
- Give it jurisdiction over defined category of crimes
- Also create dedicated prosecutors for the same
- Strip SCOTUS of appellate jurisdiction

It can be done.

Just staggered by the complete moral void of not even *pretending* to wait for more information before pivoting to “the opponent of the state deserved it.” It is so insanely depraved. Soulless.

the extent to which this administration is out of control is really summed up by the fact that they immediately went with “this was an armed terrorist there to kill law enforcement” knowing that video from multiple angles completely disproving them was out there and would be seen by everyone

The newest video shows very clearly that they attacked him for coming to an aid of a woman that the agents pushed, and then executed him while he was immobilized. Everything the government has said, like with Good, has been a complete lie.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

The mom who we all saw turning the wheel and trying to drive away was actually a domestic terrorist trying to run over a poor ICE agent, and now the nurse who we all saw coming to the aid of another ICE victim was actually a deranged shooter who had to be taken down.
