Be curious, not judgmental.
Completely disgusted but not surprised by the #ICE shooting in #Minneapolis and the subsequent spin by #MAGA. Setting aside the cruel policy, hey, maybe it's not a great idea to massively loosen recruit requirements, dangle big bonuses in front of them, and allow them to conceal their identities.

Kicking off 2026 by trying to convince my dog the world is not ending. Happy New Year, everybody, but maybe let's cool it on the fireworks.

Watched the nephew (5 y/o) today and we talked about schooling.
Newsjunkie365: Your mommy and daddy actually met at college. And then they got married. And then they had your sister and you.
Nephew: Did they deliver us to the house like the mail?

In Chicago, a woman was driving to get coffee when a DHS vehicle fleeing an angry crowd crashed into her car. Armed agents jumped out of the vehicle, yanked her door open, pulled her by the legs out of her car at gunpoint, held her incommunicado for hours, then released her with no charges.

Does anyone besides Trump even want this ballroom? I don't care that it's private money. Private money always comes with favors. And it's OUR house. You put a bulldozer to it and we don't get a say? If you want to add something, how about a free clinic?

This man was kidnapped. By 'federal agents' in the United States of America.
WOW. The lead plaintiff is a Latino man who's been here legally for 24 years. He was grabbed off the street by plainclothes federal agents who didn't even ASK about his status.
He was detained overnight and only released once a supervisor realized he had been illegally arrested.

This is the President of the United States telling the country he is okay with violent extremism when it's done by his side. You can write all the editorials and social media comments about unity you want. It will mean nothing if this man is not consistently called out by those with power.
EARHARDT: We have radicals on the right as well. How do we fix this country?
TRUMP: I'll tell you something that's gonna get me in trouble but I couldn't care less. The radicals on the right oftentimes are radical because they don't want to see crime. The radicals on the left are the problem.

Missouri voters overwhelmingly approved earned sick time last November. Governor Mike Kehoe and Missouri Republicans signed away that right.
Corporations won. Working Missourians lost. 
This is an actual email forwarded to me from an employee of a company removing earned sick time.

Good piece. It reminds me of when the media and some Dems treated the Tea Party like a legitimate fiscal movement when it was clearly mostly about Black Man President.
Also, while there are ideological 'means to an end' true believers, monetized social media has exploded the grifter class.

The flooding that devastated Central Texas was the country’s deadliest catastrophe for children in recent memory. More than a quarter of the people who died — at least 133 at last count — were still in elementary school.

You don't need to be psychic to see the dark place this is going. Trump already said he wants to denaturalize citizens. First it will be those convicted of crimes. Then those deemed a danger to the country. From there it will be anyone who speaks out, all the while conditions in the camps worsen.
I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

weird how many companies go belly up because someone bought them and then spun them off with all of the buyers debt until they implode

Yes! I am so annoyed that it took Tucker Carlson of all people to do this. I've been saying for years that Republicans need to be regularly asked very basic questions related to the policies they push. And for God's sake, follow up.
the lesson of this isn't that tucker carlson is actually good but that you should ask these people basic factual questions instead of bullshit about politics
