Jacob Frey: "We are here to respond to credible reports relaying that there are as many as 100 federal agents that will be deployed to the Twin Cities with a specific focus on targeting our Somali community. To our Somali community -- we love you and we stand with you. That commitment is rock solid"

They're not hiding it, folks—straight up neo-Nazi advertising, from the font to the language to the 11 stars for the Confederacy. Then you have the DHS openly using white nationalist language of "remigrate", which means ethnic cleansing.
This is who MAGA is now.

“When asked if there was anything incriminating in Epstein's emails, Trump pointed a finger in a female reporter's face and snapped. 'Quiet. Quiet, Piggy.'”
The number of men who would likely never say so but privately find this hilarious is way higher than anyone wants to admit.

Americans should NOT have to be dependent on the charity of the very rich. It's not reliable, and it is demeaning. WE PAY TAXES while the plutocrats get tax breaks.

The only thing 'exciting' about this era are the immense possibilities to build a better America after Trump & GOP are defeated. The GOP will have NO MORAL AUTHORITY to object to anything. Dems will bulldoze the filibuster & Supreme Court and pass the Dem agenda - ALL OF IT.

The stunning thing about fascism is how it activates psychopaths. By giving them permission to act upon their anti social hatreds. Across time & cultures. Doesn't matter if it is in Nazi Germany or 1994 Rwanda. Your "friendly neighbor" suddenly turns on you & your family. This is what we must resist

Just a new crop of Manchin/Sinemas to act as the fall guys for the rest of these centrist ghouls. It's not a coincidence most of them are retiring or won't be up for re-election until 2028/2030.
If a Senator isn't calling for Chuck Schumer to be out as minority leader immediately, they're in on it

Only none of these are up for reelection in 2026. And it's a huge part of why they voted "yes"
Durbbin and Shaheen -- lame ducks don't give a shite
Fetterman, Cortez Masto, Hassan -- up in 2028
Kink, Rosen, Kaine -- up in 2039
Call or email them anyway. They might just change their vote

8 Dem Senators: "The GOP will not negotiate, so we'll just cave (again)."
Ro Khana is right. Chuck Schumer is not an effective leader, and he must go!
Gavin Newsom is right: "Pathetic"
Primaries start May '26.

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

She’s saying she has papers but these thugs just drag her away - and all these people just watch and say nothing.
If you ever wondered how Germans allowed the Nazis to commit genocide, now you know.

Yes, there are more important atrocities with this administration than the demolition of the east wing. But fascism thrives on image and aesthetics, and symbols matter. Don’t underestimate the power of visual symbols- they are used to control, but can also be used to resist.
