Third time in the last 25 years we’ve had more or less a failed presidency inside of the first year. We really need a mechanism to address this.
Pollster: 58% of Americans say Trump's second term has been a failure. A year into term number two, Trump's numbers look worse than any other president. Trump is even worse than George W. Bush after Katrina and a long period in the Iraq War. This is really, really bad.

If you're looking to support a Massachusetts coffee shop, Wolf Next Door in Salem is a worthy choice.
I'm not just saying that because they gave me a free espresso when I stopped in while canvassing.

Can’t remember who coined this but, if you went to ask Muslims or Communists if Barack Obama was “one of them”, you’d get a lot of laughs and/or angry denials. But if you ask a Nazi or a white nationalist if Trump is “one of theirs”….you uh, get a different response.

these billionaires, Musk especially, think they are untouchable but Americans will have to rediscover why Impact assessments and environmental permitting exists from first principles. And like Woke 2.0 I suspect the reaction won't be a negotiation

President Trump is once again threatening to invoke the Insurrection Act, this time in Minneapolis. That would be a flagrant and particularly dangerous abuse of the Act—one that would threaten the rule of law and public safety alike. 1/13

Trump causes the problem and then demands the Insurrection Act as a solution to the crisis of his own making which then leads to more conflict. I believe psychiatrists refer to this phenomenon "Munchausen by Nazi." www.childrensmn.org/educationmat...
The Sinister Reason Trump Is Itching to Invoke the Insurrection Act
An authoritarian’s dream, the Insurrection Act is ripe for abuse — and Trump’s Cabinet is already setting up his justification to use it.

If you wrote a novel about how "it can happen here" and had fascist paramilitaries carrying out a pogrom and giving themselves participation awards with skulls and carrion birds on them, you'd be panned for being hyperbolic and unrealistic
Demonstrators apparently retrieved from the cars belonging to ICE these "challenge coins" that ICE mercenaries receive when they carry out arrests.
This one is decorated with a skull wearing a crown.
ICE mercenaries serve king death. They are evil incarnate.

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

Miller: Denmark is a tiny country with a tiny economy and a tiny military. They cannot defend Greenland… Under every understanding of law that has existed about territorial control for 500 years, to control a territory you have to be able to defend a territory…
