We are a nation of laws, not of men. This banner symbolizes a disgusting betrayal of our values.

We’ve got well intentioned but feckless vs. aggressively evil. Really no comparison

The $38.3 billion they are going to spend for interment camps could fund the annual budget of NASA, the EPA, and all clean energy R&D at the Department of Energy—combined.

ABC headline: Trump's tariffs cost American households $1,000 last year: Research group The Tax Foundation said the cost may be even higher in 2026.

Do not forget this when they ask you to thank them for giving you a couple hundred bucks back on your tax return in April.

Apparently, Tesla moved from California to Texas so they can dump toxic waste water on their neighbors without fear of any consequences.

Badly underrated post!

How Not to Defeat Authoritarianism Moderation used to help Democrats win, but its advantages now have been greatly exaggerated.

This @bostonreview.bsky.social piece by @adambonica.bsky.social and @jakemgrumbach.bsky.social is an absolute must-read, as are many of the responses to it.

Spread this one far and wide.

NYC voted against this regime in a landslide.

(around an image of a masked ICE agent holding a gun) Republicans "One Big Beautiful Bill' nearly tripled funding for ICE. That money came from your benefits: paid for by cuts to reproductive health care paid for by cuts to Medicare & Medicaid paid for by cuts to SNAP paid for by cuts to clean energy projects paid for by cuts to obesity prevention paid for by cuts to disaster response paid for by cuts to energy tax credits

A reminder that the Kennedy Center is the literal and legal and congressional designated presidential memorial to JFK. This would be like Trump tearing down the Lincoln Memorial to build something “better.”

Seems like one of those issues that should greatly concern everyone regardless of their politics.

ICE’s excuse for wearing masks has never actually manifested There have been incidents of harassment and threats. But there are no apparent incidents in which identified ICE officers have been assaulted off-duty.

DHS says ICE agents need to wear face masks because doxxing is happening and assaults are spiking. But, according to their press releases, no agent has been doxxed and assaulted since Trump came back to the White House.

This is the BEST explanation I have seen so far.

The U.S. is on the verge of losing its measles elimination status Last year, the CDC confirmed 2,144 measles cases across 44 states — the most since 1991 — and nearly 50 separate outbreaks.

Experts fear the vaccine-preventable virus has regained a foothold and that the U.S. may soon follow Canada in losing the achievement of having eliminated it.

ICE needs to mask to protect their identities, but ICE will publicize the names of protesters

ICE demands to be addressed respectfully, or ICE will call you a "fucking bitch"

ICE demands to be treated civilly, or ICE will fly into a rage and kill more innocents

ICE, the biggest snowflakes of all

Maine organizers and residents, get ready.

Whistleblower Reveals SECRET ICE Programs Created to Terrorize Americans

ICE is being funded and weaponized to create a massive paramilitary force that will operate with complete impunity to serve the Trump Administration and its white nationalist agenda.

UNARMED WOMAN: “Shame on you.”

ICE GOON: “Have you not learned from the past few days?”

UNARMED WOMAN: “Learned what? What’s our lesson?”

ICE GOON: *VIOLENTLY SNATCHES HER PHONE*

(H/T @Mollyploofkins)

The way ICE officers approached the vehicle involved in today's shooting was counter to their training, a senior Department of Homeland Security official told NBC News. The official said ICE officers are trained: — never to approach a vehicle from the front; — to approach vehicles or possibly armed people in a “tactical L” 90-degree angle to prevent injury or cross-fire; — not to shoot at a moving vehicle; — only to use force if there is an immediate risk of serious injury or death. ICE officers are also instructed that firing at a vehicle will not make it stop moving in the direction of the officer.

This seems significant: not a FORMER DHS official, but a SENIOR (current) one saying the officer who fired acted counter to training.

This is not an admin that admits mistakes. And they are hanging this guy out to dry on Day One.

I think they know this is bad. Really bad.

Uh… check out what ChatGPT allegedly told a man before he killed his mother and then himself.

A USPS mailbox in New York City

USPS quietly changed its postmark rules — mail is no longer dated when you drop it off. The “official” date is when it hits automated sorting — sometimes days later

Which could have major implications for mail in voting — it’s a clever way to disenfranchise voters that’s going largely overlooked

For many of these Republicans it has to be more about participating in the gaslighting campaign than actually believing the BS

Health officials in Denmark and Germany said they were baffled by the Trump administration’s push to emulate their countries. Traditionally, they have looked to the United States as a leader for its meticulous process of review and recommendation of vaccinations. The officials noted that the childhood vaccination schedule in the United States had been tailored for the country’s large and diverse population and patchy system of medical care. Denmark and Germany have comprehensive free prenatal care and an infant mortality rate that is about half of that in the United States. “It’s not at all fair to say look at Denmark unless you can match the other characteristics of Denmark,” said Anders Hviid, who leads research on vaccine safety and effectiveness at the Statens Serum Institut, Denmark’s equivalent of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

2/ The Danish head of its CDC is like: are you fucking crazy? We are a small country with universal healthcare. You shouldn't do what we do. We should do what you used to do.

UPDATE: Trump Jr.-backed startup receives $620 million Pentagon loan In October, Popular Information reported that the Pentagon awarded a contract to Unusual Machines, an obscure drone comp

A startup backed by Donald Trump Jr.'s venture capital firm just got a $620M loan from the DoD, months after the Pentagon gave a major drone contract to ANOTHER Trump Jr.-backed company.
