'Trump’s federal thugs beat up on
His face and his chest
Then we heard the gunshots
And Alex Pretti lay in the snow, dead

This is, undoubtly, good and needed advice.
Guitars are much, much cooler than guns. Gavin Newsom should tell all those young, lonely males to stop being ammosexuals and try learning some Aerosmith, instead.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Hard to believe, but he could be, however likely this proves true later down the road, the last legitimate president that the republic has seen.

Would you bet on ever again having fair and free midterms at this point? I don't say there won't, but I couldn't assure with certainty there will, either.
Thank you, Mr. President.

What do we expect from a guy that was convicted in 34 cases?
Trump:

"Two percent of the population causes 90% of the crime. So when you start decimating that two percent - boom."

This is straight up Nazi language.

And on International Holocaust Memorial Day.

Jew in Amsterdam here. Please use Anne Frank as a comparison point to explain how state persecution of scapegoats impacts children, that is the point of her example, thanks

In Printz v. United States, #SCOTUS held that the Constitution bars the federal government from forcing or otherwise compelling local or state governments to enforce federal law.

The liberal squish who wrote the majority opinion in that case? Justice Antonin Scalia:

What fresh new hell is this? I mean, I was never a big fan, but at least I thought he's, you know...educated.

I'm not even from the US and even I could explain several ways to him in which Companies successfully managed to measure or define its own corporate power. Does he live under a stone?
I know DC is still digging out of the snowstorm and the roads aren’t clear. But someone needs to head over to Matt Ygelsias’s house and give the guy a wedgie.

This is a wedgie-emergency. He is begging you to give him one.

Es ist nicht alles Pomade, was glänzt. Manchmal ist es auch WD40. Die Drehtür zwischen Politik und Wirtschaft darf ja nicht quietschen.
Man kann einfach nur froh sein, dass die FDP zumindest bundespolitisch die nächsten Jahre mausetot ist.

You know, someone should yell "swasticar" at Musk when he's visiting the production just like someone yelld "pedophile protector" at Trump.

These are the times we're living in. Makes me wonder: Will it ever stop?
I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work.

I don’t let bullies win.

Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.

Wenn ich ein europaskeptischer "Konservativer" wäre, der nichts anderes mehr im Kopf hat als die Frage wie er sich bei der AfD-Basis beliebt machen kann, dann würde ich das ganz genauso machen: Den Diskurs über die EU-Integration gleich am Start so hart überfrachten dass er scheitern *muss*.

Hey, lovely people in the USA, you guys should google "Befehlsnotstand".

Because soon it will be part of your everyday vocabulary, just like "Kindergarten", "Schadenfreude" or "Zeitgeist".
So basically Albert Speer’s defense at Nuremberg.

Dass wir diese Dinge 2026 immer noch diskutieren?

Wer an Unis arbeitet, merkt sofort, dass uns die gute Leute regelmäßig abhanden kommen, weil niemand Lust hat, langfristig unter solchen Bedingungen zu arbeiten. Es gäbe Alternativen, aber dafür bräuchte es mehr politischen Mut und auch mehr Geld.
Aber: Über wen reden wir hier eigentlich nochmal? Genau: Postdocs! Leute, die in aller Regel 2 berufsqualifizierende Abschlüsse UND ne Promotion in der Tasche haben. Die zu befristen ist begründungsbedürftig – und nicht Forderung nach anderswo selbstverständlicher Entfristung. #IchBinHanna (2/8)

She wasn't contacted for four days now.
“To you this is murder?”

“Yes. I know it is. — People are feeling like there’s nobody here to help us. What can we do? The constitution doesn’t seem to matter.”

She witnessed the killing of Alex Pretti, now she is bravely coming forward.

Stella is the best of us. 🇺🇸

Man sollte es machen wie bei #Aiwanger: Die Spinner kriegen Platzverbot, und stattdessen wird deren Schriftgut da zur Mahnung ausgelegt.
Wer die sogenannte "Remigration" von Millionen von Menschen aus Deutschland plant, möge sich bitte weiträumig von Denkmälern, die an die Deportationen während des #Nationalsozialismus erinnern, fernhalten.

What is all this hatred good for?
After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

Könnten bitte mal alle Trekkies gemeinsam auf die Straße gehen, um solidarisch George zu unterstützen?! Viele haben vergessen, was die USA japanischen Einwanderern, die ja für Pearl Harbor überhaupt nichts konnten, angetan haben.
