Corruption may have infected our government, but it will never defeat the American spirit. We've overcome obstacles before, and we can do it again. #TheCostOfTrump
I cannot go to a protest right now. I will be the asshole who punches a cop and starts something. I'm that pissed off. I'm going to have to stay home and use my words on paper instead.

AOC: “I understand that VP Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, & I do not — That is a fundamental difference between VP Vance & I — I do not believe the American people should be assassinated in the street”

This is a list of people who can be ousted this year.

Let's get to work.
Here's the 38 House Republicans who won by less than 15 points *and* whose districts Trump won by less than 15 points (or lost, in a few cases), via @the-downballot.com.

Only 13 of them vote to extend the enhanced #ACA tax credits.

The other 25 all voted NO.

Words of wisdom here, but not challenging them, when you can, just gives them too much power. They did peak in HS and they are fully of tiny dick energy. If you don't want that running your neighborhood, town, or country, make sure they don't get hired and prosecute the ones who get power hungry.
Pop was a law enforcement officer. He knew most of the local police in the town we lived in. When I got my license at 16, he told me "Don't push these assholes, Tim. They're little men who are looking for a reason to hurt people. Do what they say. These fuckers peeked in high school."

Today's ICE.

Thugs. Unhinged, power tripping thugs who can't stand the light of day.
I think it is probably a bad idea to put clearly unhinged, angry psychopaths in federal law enforcement positions.

And this right here is the problem. Lack of training. Lack of respect for the people they are supposedly serving. ICE is just armed thugs with no morals on a power trip supported by the government, killing unarmed civilians whenever they feel like it.

The first time Charlie Chaplin spoke onscreen, he implored the people of the world to resist the rising tide of fascism.

Nearly 90 years later, it remains a timely message.

ICE’s killing of Renee Good, a mother of three, was caused by the Trump Administration’s intentionally inhumane & chaotic deployments. Kristi Noem is dangerously unfit for the dire responsibility of DHS Secretary & should be impeached immediately. kevinmullin.house.gov/2026/01/08/r...

No matter what words are spoken by Administration officials, there is one underlying message between the lines:

Don’t protest or resist us in any way, or we may kill you, and nobody will be able to do anything about it…

Fuck that. Fuck them. Be safe and be smart, but never stop resisting!

When do WE finally say enough is enough and take back our democracy?!

This was hard to write & necessary to publish.

Renee Nicole Good followed the rules. She was killed anyway.

This piece is about responsibility, silence, & what stepping up actually looks like in moments like this.

Read, sit with it, & decide what you’ll do next.

One of the (several) problems with the demand that bystanders and targeted people be immediately compliant with ICE agents is that fleeing ICE is incredibly rational. They’re violent, piggish thugs who disappear some people into horrendous gulags and shoot others in the face.
