Seems to be an increasing amount of Star Trek posts/memes in my feed so I'm just going to say this:

I don't believe in the no-win scenario either. The only way this will be humanity's Kobayashi Maru is if we let it.

How to buy yourself a needy malignant narcissist? Just offer him a phony, made up "Peace Prize" & he's all your's!!!
No need for a formal ceremony as he'll snatch from the box & put it on all by himself. Both laughably pathetic AND pathetically laughable. 🤡 🫣

From a Nazi gestapo standpoint, it makes sense to fall back and concentrate their "efforts" in the suburbs, especially now that the guard isn't backing them up. Resistance is scattered so there's less chance of anyone coming to the aid of their victims. ICE IS EVIL AND MUST BE ABOLISHED.
Not sure what others think but seems ICE has escalated in the Chicago suburbs as their activity lessened in Chicago. They obviously haven’t left the city either but seems they’ve gotten even more aggressive in the suburbs.

This is assault by ICE, what he is doing is extrajudicial, illegal, he has no jurisdiction to even be there. Immigration is a civil matter. ICE/CBP and all the people sending them into the streets are the criminals. They are the chaos they are the lawless. Indict and prosecute them.

In the face of fear and oppression, our greatest strength lies in unity. Despite being broken and humiliated, residents of a Chicago apartment building rise together, finding power through their struggle.

If you think Donald Trump is so stupid that he doesn't know what his right hand is doing, you've been fed a lie. He's a sadistic psychopath who enjoys watching people suffer. It's a good bet he watched these videos multiple times.

Project 2025 came out of the heritage foundation as did a majority of the Supreme Court justices. This is all corrupt and intended for Republicans to stay in control forever. The Supreme Court is a majority of right wing activist judges
🚨 BREAKING: The Supreme Court will decide if Trump can limit the constitutional right to citizenship granted to virtually all American-born children, despite several lower courts already ruling it violates the 14th Amendment.

If this corrupt Supreme Court decides to ignore the actual plain language of the Constitution, then we no longer have a legitimate Supreme Court, and the justices who vote to ignore the Constitution must be removed and replaced.

This is not optional.

Donald Trump could rewrite the Constitution and end birthright citizenship in the middle of Fifth Avenue and note lose a single conservative Supreme Court Justice.

In South Minneapolis, Minnesota, nearly two dozen neighbors confronted and surrounded ICE goons after rapid-response alerts were issued. The goons were questioning an East African man when the situation escalated, and they eventually left the area without making any arrests.

SCOTUS isn't necessarily under Trump's control, but it might seem that way to the casual observer. Both he and the Sinister Six are owned by the same special interest groups (the ones I and others often refer to as Christo-fascists).

If SCOTUS planned to uphold birthright citizenship, they would’ve left the lower-court rulings untouched. Taking the case is the tell. You don’t grab a 150-year precedent just to admire it. They took it because they intend to change it. Pretending otherwise is denial.

They have to maintain the illusion that they're out there "protecting" us from all the dangerous drug runners. 🙄

The murdering won't stop until every last Nazi is removed from power. Mark my words: it won't be long before they start targeting the "home growns".

This is why it's important to understand how Trump's mind is broken.

Laws do not apply to him because he views himself as perfect and incapable of doing anything wrong/illegal. If he's accused of a crime, the accusers are wrong, not him. If convicted, it's a problem with the system, not him.

Biden shows a bit of cognitive decline:

@jaketapper.bsky.social writes a whole ass book.

Trump falls asleep at his own cabinet meetings and daily acts like the most demented psychopath on Earth:

@jaketapper.bsky.social says "that's just Trump being Trump."

That's why Jake Tapper is a damn clown.

Bad framing: ACIP voted to scrap the universal hepatitis B vaccine recommendation for newborns.

Accurate framing: Anti-vax conspiracy theorists appointed to ACIP by Robert Kennedy Jr., who made a fortune as an anti-vax profiteer, voted to expose babies to a preventable, incurable, deadly illness.

Mike Johnson on the ACA: "I wish we could rip it out from the roots and start over but it's so deeply ingrained. It's sinister in that way. But it has broken the system and what we have to do is go in and reform in. We have lots of ideas."
