All the President's Men is playing on TCM tonight.

Ah, how far the once-mighty Washington Post has fallen.

Along with pretty much all their legacy media cousins.

Thank goodness for the current wave of independent journalists, and for Bluesky as an organizing principle for them.

Courage, friends.

These two things are true:
1) Shooting National Guard members is horrific and criminal.
2) So is putting National Guard members in harm’s way to score political points.

The problem with ICE is not that it's targeting people who aren't criminals. The problem with ICE is that it's an unaccountable secret deportation police. It cannot be reformed under a better president. It can be made less terrible, but the instrument of repression remains for the next tyrant.

Yesterday, a masked man pointed his rifle at protestors in Minnesota. Instead of protecting their community, St Paul PD protected him & assaulted peaceful protestors with physical force & chemical agents.

A real community defense force would fight off ICE’s masked kidnappers, not beat their victims

A 'flag covering his face' ICE 'agent' points a gun at protesters in St Paul, MN. This 'patriot' (yeah right) is lucky his partner stopped him from killing innocent people.
Shit St Paul ICE agent aims gun

I've been following politics long enough... to know what happens in 2025 truly doesn't matter. As angry as you may be, as motivated as you may be...

A LARGE % of voters in November 2026 will base their vote on what happens in Fall 2026. Not what angered them in 2025.

Interesting and hopeful: some Republicans are not only retiring or quitting, but also planning to skip upcoming votes. A few are even talking about impeachment. Why don’t they just start doing their job?

I’ve heard many stories of how ICE is not following the law or honoring due process.

I'm at the Tacoma ICE facility to come see for myself and hold ICE accountable. From my visit, it was abundantly clear that ICE is lying.

And if our current leaders won’t do it, they need to step aside for people who will.

Three things about the Witkoff tapes:

1) It appears Western intelligence services have decided to let Witkoff (and Trump) know they have recordings of their traitorous conversations w/Russia.

2) This Ukraine "deal" was all Witkoff's idea.

3) Congressional leaders should demand he be fired.

Trump just ended a rule limiting a type of pollution that causes heart and lung disease.

The rule was expected to save thousands of American lives every year.
