If you think violence against Nazis and their families is bad, you’re a Nazi sympathizer.

The response in the future to any criticism from former trumpers should be “kill yourself”.
Just imagining if Merrick Garland’s DOJ had shitposted.

If I’m ever put in charge I’d give you the death penalty for accepting a single penny of ICE bounty money.
NEW: A variety of military and intelligence contractors have already signed on to help ICE's immigrant bounty hunter program. A review of procurement data shows 10 companies stand to make up to *ONE BILLION* dollars from the program by 2027. theintercept.com/2025/12/23/i...
10 Companies Have Already Made $1 Million as ICE Bounty Hunters. We Found Them.
And they stand to make millions more in cash bonuses for surveilling and tracking immigrants in service of ICE’s deportation machine.

I think this amount could be lowered dramatically…
one thing we need to do as a society is treat all fraud or theft over $100 million or so as a potential capital crime, with the possibility of execution for offenders.

Why believe a fucking word of this if they can’t even identify the person she supposedly assaulted other than by calling them “Agent A”.
This is some fascist bullshit and a crystal clear attack on free speech.

Here is DHS making false allegations about @katmabu.bsky.social.
Read the affidavit and show me where it alleges that she assaulted anyone.
Spoiler: it doesn't.
The conspiracy charge / title of the statute is throwing people off / leading to a lot of bad faith attacks.

Someone needs to take this motherfucker out once and for all. This is the most insane fascist bullshit, enough is enough.
The use of "surge" here is so fucking grotesque. Trump is using Iraq War language against the citizens of his own country.

Gonna shit in Mike Johnson’s mouth and call it “satire”
Speaker Johnson defends Trump's AI video of him dumping feces on protesting Americans: “The president uses social media to make a point. You can argue he's probably the most effective person who's ever used social media for that. He is using satire to make a point.”

Everyone should kick Dave Chappelle in the balls as hard as possible whenever he shows his face in public. Fuck him and all these other idiots screaming about free speech then taking Saudi money.

All of these republicans are rat-fuckers and liars. Everything is a grift and con to make themselves and their buddies richer while blaming any non-white Christian male for literally every single thing they insist is bad, evil, or woke.
Vance: "If you're an American citizen & you've been to the hospital in the last few years, you've probably noticed wait times are especially large & very often somebody who's there in the ER is an illegal alien. Why do those people get healthcare benefits at hospitals paid for by American citizens?"

Bold move releasing this decision right before a shutdown fight. Why should anyone engage with legit dialogue if the courts will let Trump do whatever he wants with a congressionally approved budget?

there's a weird feedback loop where the media's reaction to kirk's death pushes you to speak more ill of the dead than you otherwise would because it's the only reasonable response to the simpering praise they're heaping on him

Another thing: the people lining up to say “but he was nice to *me*” are to a person white guys in powerful positions. I got news for you: he did not respect your ideas, he respected your power and enjoyed proximity to it. Of course he was nice to you.

In conclusion, if Dems aren't talking about how Trump et al are stripping Secret Service protection from their politicial enemies—and aren't imposing political consequences on those who use violent threats to expand their power—then Dems aren't actually serious about stopping political violence.
