This is essentially what governments did in the late 1900s and early 2000s with respect to Nazis. Whether you were a lowly concentration camp guard or in Hitler's inner circle, if there was evidence you were a Nazi, it was straight to jail with your walker.

It worked.
Maybe instead of identifying specific ICE agents who do particularly heinous things, we could just penalize everyone who was on payroll at the agency starting by a certain date.

There's been a lot of talk about a "Democratic Tea Party" or whatever, but the important part is that the original Tea Party made Republicans terrified of getting outflanked on their right and Democratic voters can use these seven seats to make it clear that Democrats need to worry about their left.
Yes, these Democrats are in districts that narrowly went for Trump in 2024.

They're not going to be that close in 2026 and we can afford to run actual Democrats who'll protect their own constituents

Fun fact: when bluesky was invite-only, we got our invite from AOC
AOC: An agency that is attacking U.S. citizens, kidnapping five-year-olds and using them as bait, and privately circulating the idea that they can violate the rights of Americans by busting down their doors—they deserve to be defunded, and I’ll take any step in that direction.

And this is how they get treated when their boys are in total control of power structures. We get the power back and they are fucked eternally.

Enjoy being the dumbass invading army that invaded your own fucking country; where are you going now, you Nazi dipshits?
DHS this is your communications director speaking. I am advising you today to please keep posting about how everyone hates you.

In the 2010s, the Icelandic tv station Channel 2 accidentally added subtitles from a gritty crime drama to an episode of Teletubbies.

I have translated some of the highlights

It's hilarious that there are still Conservatives who can't accept that they'd get 98% the world/life they want by getting in line behind center-left Democrats as a basically unstoppable (in terms of size) voting coalition but CAN'T because exactly 2% of "what they want" is "Never see Black people"
Seems like Temu Mr. Met just woke up from a 10-year coma.

This week, the House votes on DHS funding.

I will not vote to give ICE a single cent.

No more blank checks for a rogue agency that operates above the law, escalates violence, and erodes our most basic freedoms.

Survivorship bias is real.
As with covid.
A million died.
But we don't hear from them now.
We hear from people upset at how they were inconvenienced by covid mitigation.
So, yeah, it's easy to say "we'll survive another trump term".
If you are alive.
If you die, then you get REALLY quiet.
"Oh we'll survive another Trump term."

Yeah, tell that to Renée Good.

The choice is impeachment and removal or calamity for the United States. I don't see how anybody watching Trump's speech in Davos can draw any other conclusion. He's a senile madman.

Rare good news about Dems not only doing their fucking jobs, but standing up for trans rights. More of this please, elected Dems.
1. In a major victory, Democrats have managed to get all anti-trans riders stripped from the final appropriations bills.

This includes HHS and Ed, which had the worst provisions in congressional history.

If it passes, it will be a big win for 2026.

Democrats Successfully Strip All Anti-Trans Riders From Final Appropriations Bills
The HHS and Education bills once contained the most sweeping anti-trans provisions in congressional history. Now they contain none.

I am introducing the Melt ICE Act to end funding for immigrant detention and monitoring.

We have seen the danger in infusing resources into DHS’s abuses of power. Funding for ICE is fuel for human suffering.

It’s time to start melting ICE.

if democrats were doing this i would be pleased. instead they spend the bulk of their times begging republicans to pretty please be good guys.
Reminding the public that Republicans are 100% to blame for this and could stop Trump any time they want is good messaging. I’m not sure why you think it’s a bad thing.

Hey, is it a good sign that every single time the necrotic president gives a bellicose rant filled with lies and wild threats we get a video clip of the Speaker of the House racing away from reporters so he doesn't have to comment?
Mike Johnson tells me that he hasn’t seen Trump saying in Davos “what we have gotten out of NATO is nothing”

Really wish the asshole Europeans would understand that this isn’t the U.S. starting an imperial expansion.

This is an eviscerated shell of a U.S. government being used as a weapon by *international* tech oligarchs to end traditional, democratic nations and replace them with a tech-run dystopia.

If you just listen to the tone of Scott Bessent's voice, he might seem like an entitled out-of-touch elitist who has no clue what life is like for normal people.

But if you listen to his actual *words* you'll have confirmation that's absolutely right.
Bessent: "Someone, maybe your parents for their retirement have bought 5, 10, 12 homes."

Whatever else you can say about the Nobel Prize, the fact that giving it to Obama was THIS specifically enraging to the slice of White America for whom Trump functions as a walking embodiment is as good an argument as any for why it WAS appropriate to do so.
Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize largely for not being George W. Bush, and even at the time everyone thought it was kind of a stupid move. Imagine how quickly they'll award the 2029 Nobel Peace Prize to whomever is the next president not to be Trump!
fwiw i think his obsession with the nobel prize is entirely about obama getting it (setting aside whether or not obama ought to have received it)

History will judge Chuck Schumer as entirely ill-equipped for this moment. I try my best to see the good in our party leaders because I understand we're in uncharted territory, but it is beyond obvious he's the wrong person for the job.
The incredibly lukewarm Democratic response on Greenland is being noticed in Europe, incidentally.

Chuck Schumer not finding a stronger word than “quixotic” for Trump’s plan to seize Greenland has been name checked to me more than once.
But Americans who want to save the alliance with Europe must have no illusions about how bad a condition this transatlantic partnership is in.

These so-called "patriotic" 🇬🇧newspapers who brought you Brexit were never really patriotic at all.

They are driven by a disdain for Britain's European neighbours, and a fawning obsession with America.

They do not really want 🇬🇧 to be sovereign. They're content being a 🇺🇸vassal.
