ICE grabs father by the neck—send him into violent seizure while his arms lock up around his toddler.
"He's having seizure and they're trying to rip the baby out of his hands!"
Agents then handcuff him—before putting in ambulance with his child.
Mother is detained by agents as target of arrest.

The best, most accurate rant I've read in a month, easy
if you believe fully autonomous robot butlers are just over the horizon you are actually one of the dumbest motherfuckers alive and we should take your money from you so we can put it towards something worthwhile

The way he rubs his inhumanity in Americans” face never ceases to stun me.
He’s illegally refusing to pay food stamp benefits…
…while he throws a ridiculously over the top Gatsby party for his right wing millionaire and corporate friends.

It is time for the Democrats to vote for cloture and allow the government to open.
1) The Republicans are not going to give in
2) The messaging battle has been won
3) GOP will be blamed for the premium increases
4) Dems can look like selfless heroes before SNAP cuts off

I wrote a book chapter on lying, in which I pointed out that bad liars go small ("Sorry I'm late, I had a family emergency") while really good ones go big ("Sorry I'm late, I was just diagnosed with cancer.") People have a hard time believing somebody would lie about something so huge.

Two senior Republican appropriators agree it doesn't make any sense for Democrats to agree to a government funding deal unless Trump actually adheres to the deal.
The Democratic alternative CR had language that would address this, but the White House came out strongly against.

Power and ultimate control. Canceling late-night shows. Silencing the press. Threats of war against U.S. cities. Using force against peaceful protesters and journalists. Now Trump is demanding Bondi prosecute his political opponent.

what can you do to fight this fascism? at its most basic level you can circulate good information. the right is excellent at pushing its narrative. the left sucks at it. we too often assume "everybody" has seen a story or some morsel of info already. they prob haven't.
share that story, video, etc
