Do not forget that Trump's first action was to release 1,500 violent criminals who once fought for him and now owe him. So in true gangster regime style, he started all this with an army of thugs who could threaten, overtly or tacitly, anyone (and their families) in his way. GOP capitulation anyone?

It's beginning to look like all of those guns Americans buy to keep government in check were only ever bought for school shootings.

We already have complete access to Greenland, including unfettered freedom of navigation into the Arctic.
We have a military base. We have early warning radar systems in place that will integrate with the “dome.”
And we have allies to help defend it. We don’t need Greenland.

I fucking HATE what we've become to those in the U.S. who are not white and male.

Unfuckinbelievable - on top of ICE's propensity to go violently murderous if you even just look at them, their utter ignorance of who they think is a sub-human "immigrant" is beyond belief. Ignorance of history, of displaying even a thread of human decency and of the illegality of their behavior.

I think we are getting close to the point at which the athletes on Minnesota professional sports teams should start refusing to take the field/court/ice
Something has to be done to underscore the national emergency we are in, because I still do not think corporate media gets it

"President Trump...cited attacks against immigration agents...as a reason for potentially invoking the Insurrection Act #NYTimes
In Putin's decades-long plans to destroy the US, even he could not have idealized something this horrific in how it is actually happening. The GOP Senate ARE the enemy!

Unfortunately, Congress WON'T pass this because to GOP donors, and to the donors of many Dems, their over-the-top-wealth is never quite enough.
Big corporations and billionaires made out like bandits last year thanks to Trump's tax bill while price gouging Americans.
These companies don't need more handouts. Congress must pass my No GOUGE Act and protect American consumers.

Markey: This administration has proved time and time again that it is only interested in vengeance, that it lies and lacks all humanity. Today, six federal prosecutors resigned because the DOJ wants to investigate Renee's widow rather than Renee's killer

I watch the bulk of ashleythebaroness videos, despite rarely sharing them.
But this one hit today.
And she's right! We're not dealing with some foreign ideology. We're dealing with a uniquely American phenomenon.

ICE now has the agency to shoot and kill someone because something about them dissed you?

Reports and videos show ICE agents asking American citizens whether they’ve “learned their lesson over the last few days” are deeply troubling. Language like this implies intent and raises serious questions about premeditation and mindset on the scene.

If fewer Americans had voted for Trump, Renee Good would be alive and caring for her child today.
No matter what lies Trump and his propagandists spread, no matter what nonsense the media prints, no matter what conspiracies MAGA invents, that remains manifestly true.
