All so true. The oligarchs must pay for their crimes.

It's very important that when Trump is gone, when the fever breaks, an aggressive and toothy commission seeks accountability and consequences -- without fear or favor. It's an existential necessity to stop this happening again.
Good analysis, and a reminder how we have a lot of work to do.

This is Fox personality Sean Duffy, also Sec. of Transportation.

Amongst all other flights, ground to 18,000ft, Mr Duffy has just shut down all Medivac flights in El Paso, a city of 1 million.

A true Trumper!

Mark my words: If he wins re-election in anything more than a squeaker, his name is going to start being talked about for 2028. The field is far from set. As I've said before, Obama didn't even start appearing in 2008 polls until fall 2006
SEN. OSSOFF: “.. why are roving gangs of masked men — who look like they couldn’t pass the Army physical exam — dressed up like pretend Delta Force operators, on our streets, demanding papers, dragging people from their cars, and shooting people to death?”

Good talk.
This is the message of a competent politician in a competitive race in one of the most competitive states in the country—and it's not just a message about the economic havoc of Trumpism
Ossoff: We were told that MAGA was for working-class Americans. But this is a government of, by, and for the ultra-rich. It’s the wealthiest Cabinet ever. This is the Epstein class. They are the elites they pretend to hate.

"We can either tax you out of existence or we can launch you into the sun with a trebuchet. Your call!"
The Epstein emails should really end the debate over whether society should have billionaires. "Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll

It's near-white out conditions in Chicago as the snow comes down, and tonight's anti-ICE/CBP rally is wrapping up in front of city hall.

But not before the crowd bounces and chants, "I believe that we will win!"

We have more power than Trump. We can shut down businesses and industries. We can shut down trade and movement. We can disrupt things peacefully, non-violently. We can protect each other. Like other social movements, we can rise and remove this criminal regime. We have power. It's time we use it.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

🚨 Breaking from the US Senator for Connecticut. 👇

There you have it.

ICE has never been about immigration enforcement.

It's a weapon used to brutalize Americans and stoke enough fear so that Trump can rig the elections and usher in dictatorship.

Thank you, Thank you. I cannot abide the AI crap.
Spent the last day or so creating an AI block list/mod list. I don't know how to check, but the count is probably approaching 4,000 slop posters, defenders, etc.

If that sounds useful to you, by all means use it and share!

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

21-year-old activist injured by ICE:

I will be blind for life. I have fractures in my skull that they can't fix. They pulled a piece of plastic the size of a nickel out of my eye. I had shards of metal, glass, and plastic behind my eye and in my skull. They said it was a miracle I survived.

The National Science Foundation sign on our Eisenhower Av building is now gone.

The NSF mural in the foyer is removed and torn off in sheets.

We were supposed to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the agency in May 2025. That never happened.
