‼️This famous photo from the Minnesota Tribune on Jan. 21 is from this incident, involving at least three of the same agents from Alex Pretti's killing.

Thanks to the people replying who tipped me off to this.

Say Stable Geniuses, It's not a Democracy when you have GOP voter Intimidation, GOP voter Gerrymandering, & GOP Voter Suppression. Because that's the only way the GOP scum of the Earth DirtBags can win. When do we become a REAL Democracy?

Amazon just announced another round of 16,000 layoffs, months after it laid off 14,000 workers.

Reminder that Amazon CEO Andy Jassy raked in over $40M in 2024.

And Amazon is spending at least $75 million producing and promoting the Melania documentary.

The system is rigged.

Glass’s gesture “incorporated Lincoln’s prescient warning about democratic collapse, a warning that lands with unsettling accuracy on the dangers of Trumpian rule.”

Trump’s Too Dumb to Know It, but Philip Glass’s Opera Is About Him
The work that the famed composer pulled from the Kennedy Center is inspired by a historic Lincoln speech that’s almost a little too on point.

Trump hallucinates about phone calls that never happened with foreign leaders & Cabinet laughs at him instead of invoking 25th amendment removal process.
Trump: "I spoke with Macron. He was not at that time wearing sunglasses. He said, 'No no Donald. I will not do this. You're asking me to double drug prices?' I said, 'If you don't, I'm gonna charge you a 25% tariff on your wines, champagnes, & everything else.' He said, 'Like I said, I will do it.'"

Trump lies (or is confused, or both): "China does most of everything they're doing with coal. They make the windmills, but they don't have a lot of wind farms. Somebody ought to look at that."

NEW: In an alarming development, North Carolina’s GOP-led election board is considering a plan to label certain voters as “presumptive noncitizens,” potentially purging them from the rolls.

It's the latest move in an effort to politicize voter list maintenance and undermine election confidence.
North Carolina weighs investigating ‘presumptive noncitizens’ in latest attack on voting
Republicans took control of the board last year, installing a GOP majority and immediately replacing the long-time, nonpartisan director with a party political operative.

If you've worked as a criminal justice professional, you're well mystified at Trump, Bondi, and Homan pretending that they just invented the idea of ICE "detainers," which have existed since before ICE was ICE

These are not serious people, and nothing they say should be believed

So no, state detainer compliance has nothing to do with anything going on now, it's that Trump low-key campaigned on continuing Biden's deportation agenda, then got in office and let Miller go wild and it turned into a catastrophe they—like cowards—won't accept responsibility for

BREAKING: Republican lawmakers unveil the Make Elections Great Again Act — a new bill that would impose the most extreme federal voting restrictions in history.

The measure would go beyond the SAVE Act by imposing strict voter ID to vote, mandating voter roll purges, banning mail voting and more.
New GOP anti-voting bill may be the most dangerous attack on voting rights ever
The MEGA Act represents one of the most catastrophic proposals for democracy in the United States.

Specifically, Trump said he would go after "the worst of the worst," which is what Biden was already doing, and what the American people broadly supported, while pretending he was breaking with Biden when he was not, then he got in office and pulled a giant switcheroo on everyone

It's to the point that when Trump implied earlier this week that his agents would refocus on the worst of the worst, MAGA influencers started interviewing agents who griped that this was just the Biden policy again

That slip revealed the whole scam here—and why it was a disaster

If ICE keeps sweeping up American citizens, ripping families apart, and detaining people WITHOUT due process, the problem is STRUCTURAL — not a few bad apples.

Call your Senators NOW at 202-224-3121.

Trump’s deployment of federal troops has cost taxpayers nearly $500 million so far — and could surpass $1 billion for the rest of the year.

That’s after slashing SNAP and Medicaid, letting ACA subsidies expire, and gutting countless other federal programs.
