Those atrocities were un-American, too. Why do the evil-doers get to decide what the fundamental American values are? Let's define them ourselves.
I fear my tipping point into madness is "Thus is un-American" posts in response to ICE terrorizing immigrants. I beg you to open Wikipedia (I would say a book but let's start small) and read up on The Trail of Tears, Fugitive Slave Catchers, Japanese internment, Indian Boarding schools & Jim Crow

"What's being negotiated now is what we already had. And all it cost us was our global position and decades of alliances"
BARTIROMO: What are we talking about? An acquisition of Greenland?
TRUMP: It's really being negotiated now, the details of it. But essentially it's total access. There's no end, no time limit.

if you are worried that ice agents will start a shootout outside an elementary school so they can kidnap kindergartners then you should state that plainly and clearly

As someone who had the lowest possible expectations for Democratic leadership and electeds, watching Democrats in Congress see my neighbors brutalized by a government hellbent on causing us harm and then clumsily change the topic is… radicalizing

While it made it as far as dress rehearsal, Tommy Brennan's Weekend Update desk bit on Trump's ICE deployments in his home state of Minnesota did not make it to SNL broadcast.
But they've made it available anyway. And you should watch it.

Minnesota: "School officials say the [5-year-old] child was used as bait. They say [ICE] agents made little Liam knock on the door to ask to be let in in order to see if anyone else was home."

That is an ICE agent pepper spraying a restrained victim in the face at close quarters; it's an unquestionable and indefensibly abusive use of excessive force that should (but won't) be criminally prosecuted as assault

The Republican party encouraged him and the Democratic party refused to acknowledge it.
Unless there is a sea change in Congress and a massive wave of consequences for everyone who let it get to this point, there's no reason anyone should trust the US to be stable longer than a couple years.

Even after Trump is gone, the world will remember that he threatened to forcibly seize the territory of a peaceful democratic ally, and our institutions failed to immediately remove him. That makes US dangerously unreliable, not just one senile gangster.
His not being impeached by the end of the business day as a result of this threat is as much a problem as the threat itself. It’s not just Trump that the world has to worry about, it’s a GOP that supports him and Democrats who suck their thumbs and refuse to even discuss pushing to remove him

Name one thing either of them has done that has prepared them for this moment in any way. Name a single memorable stand they’ve taken. They’re human placeholders, chosen for their respective roles because they sucked up to all the right people. The country is falling apart! They cannot lead us!

We have to get rid of Jeffries and Schumer. We have to. It’s unendurable that these men are the most prominent Democrats of the moment. They are two of the most broadly undistinguished men I could imagine in politics, zero fire, zero fight, zero zeal, machine politicians with sinecures.

Not to get all stentorian, but both my grandfathers served in WW2, and one of them died from its lingering sting decades later (chronic injuries). An ocean of fucking blood shed, the highest price imaginable paid to create a world where this shit didn’t happen, undone for *nothing*. Fuck you!

There's almost certainly going to be some detentions of players along with fans, but I wonder how many players get injured when ICE roughs em up on the ground or in the back of a car before figuring out who they are?
The World Cup is going to be a shit show
New— An American citizen boarding flight from Boston to Lisbon just now told me after showing boarding pass, every passenger stopped on jetway by two ICE agents demanding to take their photo. When passenger asked why, ICE threatened to detain them. If they said no photo, couldn't board/TBD detained.

I also will add: Republicans do not focus on one thing. They talk about fucking everything. They make up shit and see what sticks even. They talked about a dead squirrel as their closing argument.
"That's stupid though". Scoreboard. Look at the fucking scoreboard.

nothing that any Democrat does in 2027 will bring down the price of eggs. or even stop it from going up. the thing which is most likely to have an effect on the economy right now would be the apocalyptic consequences of a war with europe
