Itโ€™s not leadership anymore itโ€™s a circus, and everyoneโ€™s fighting for center ring.

The ICE surge in Minnesota cost $280M to detain 4k people. Of those- only 30 were accused of violent crimes.

$9 million per capture of the "worst of the worst".

As the world reels from the president's rant and threats of additional tariff chaos, I'd just like to remind the UK that they recently arrested someone who could probably bring down this entire house of cards with very little incentive.

More of this, please. The folks in this grassroots group are heroes.

Haven Watch lives by the promise, โ€œNo One Walks Alone.โ€ Day or night, they show up. When people are released from ICE detention, volunteers meet them in the cold, disoriented, and exhausted.

Beautiful and devastating all at once.

"The A" as we call it has a list called "Shopping". I created a list and named it "grocery" hoping to have a degree of separation between me and the overseer. Probably should rename it "giraffe" or "chiffon" or something irrelevant. ๐Ÿค”

โ€œโ€˜I am begging my fellow politicians, my fellow Americans to realize that right now in this country we are not fighting over policy or political party,โ€™ Pritzker said. โ€˜We are fighting over whether we are going to be a civilization rooted in empathy and kindnessโ€”or one rooted in cruelty and rage.โ€™โ€

The UK arresting Andrew.

South Korea tossing their wannabe dictator in jail for life.

John Roberts better be getting a really nice Edible Arrangement from the White House.

All I see on my Twitter timeline are reporters parsing every quote from AOC in Germany, trying to mock them for incoherence or inaccuracy, while a demented old man who canโ€™t string sentences together or stay awake sits in the Oval, while the legacy media happily sanewashes his quotes.

If this country was truly โ€œpro-life,โ€ we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage.

The right-wing agenda isnโ€™t about โ€œlife.โ€

Itโ€™s about control.

Ossoff: "Among today's false prophets are the election deniers who indulge this president's obsession with overturning the 2020 election. Hear me when I say this -- they tell a lie so absurd, and therefore so debasing, that the act of telling it proves the teller's total and humiliating submission."

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. Itโ€™s always a matter of will not resources.

This whole Epstein File episode has really brought home how much weโ€™ve lost our empathy on a massive scale. There is actual evidence both documented and verified by survivors of horrific crimes. Committed by people at the highest levels. Yet not one of them has been punished.

So the United States will only use empty warehouses to house people it wants to terrorize, not people it wants to shelter from the cold.

We really are not a very good-natured country.
