“… would have beaten him with a hammer.” This is what happens when you glorify political violence. Nancy Pelosi‘s husband was beaten with a hammer. And they made jokes about it.
[The arrested Harrisburg man] said he was “angry with the governor and would have beaten him with a hammer if confronted, according to an affidavit filed early Monday.”
He has since been charged with attempted murder, aggravated arson, terrorism and other charges.

I want them all unmasked. I want Noem, Homan, and Miller to someday be tried for their crimes against humanity. Ditto for the ICE agents and other officers who abuse innocent tourists, college students, and refugees

When this is over, U.S. rights abusers must be tried for crimes against humanity
Escalating reports of human rights crimes from Kristi Noem's propaganda to ICE cruelty must be wiped clean with justice.

If you are a cis person *please* take 2 minutes to do this. Trans people with non-updated gender markers, historical gender marker changes, and X markers are terrified to travel right now; rolling back this policy would mean a lot.
Public comment is now open for passport gender marker changes.
You can go here to go to each of the three proposed passport rules, and submit comment.
My suggestion: be unique, argue for trans-inclusive policies, against the constitutionality of the changes, etc.

Trudeau: I think Canadians are a little perplexed as to why our closest friends and neighbors are choosing to target us.
I don’t think there are a lot of Americans who wake up in the morning saying, "Oh, damn Canada. Oh, we should really go after Canada."

When your MAGA uncle wonders why Trump is threatening tariffs and raising the prices of everything, after he repeatedly promised to do the opposite, look him straight in the eye and gently whisper:
"It was never about you...and now he doesn't need you anymore"

Isn’t it funny how the media suddenly stopped talking about high food and gas prices; soaring crime in the suburbs; the migrant invasion; and immigrants eating dogs and cats?

What sticks in my mind about Charles Kushner, Trump's nominee to be ambassador to France, is that he targeted a brother-in-law who was cooperating with authorities in the criminal case against him, hiring a prostitute to seduce him so he could be intimidated into silence. His sister's husband.

As he said “Fortunately, our country was founded on the idea of “Fuck You.” We have always taught power what it cannot do; defiance is in our DNA. During Trump’s final act, we will need to remember this ancient refusal to obey. “ 🖕
Mika, Joe, and anyone else bending the knee before Trump is even sworn into office defile the American tradition of defiance and are inviting the tyrants in.
I will not comply. Not now. Not ever. Neither should you.
