In reality, who’s going to enforce this and how?

This shouldn’t be complicated. Some things are fundamental rights protected by the constitution and don’t need to be filtered through a message about taxes and affordability.

Don Junior’s coronation will be held there.

Again, not once has the media asked “Can we afford ICE?” the way they obsessed about affordability with Biden’s student loan debt relief or Obama’s health care plan. And the media surely isn’t going to ask “Can we afford this?” about this crazy military spending increase 🤔🤷‍♂️

This is always useful.

What happens when the rule bound system ceases to function or others within it cease to behave as they’re bound by rules?

Bill Kristol, once again to the left of Democrats.

“Oh, we thought you said BTK!”

Following this story from @musicologyduck.bsky.social really made my morning. Please don’t tell me that this duck enjoys milkshakes.

they abolished the department of education, we do not need a trojan horse to abolish ice we can just do it

There should be public dialogue from Dem leaders about what the medium-long term political strategy against Trumpism is. They don't want impeachment (not enough votes) so what can a Dem congress do that's more effective? Is there a philosophy other than "Vote for us and hope something good happens?"

They all left quite a legacy.

100 percent agree with this. All respect to Jamelle, but they only *say* it’s exculpatory. I don’t think that they *believe* this exonerates the shooter, only that she “had it coming.” They’re well past any good faith arguments, no matter how flimsy.

Jonathan Ross identified as ICE officer who fatally shot Renee Good in Minneapolis Ross was assigned to the Enforcement and Removal Operations special response team and has years of experience, two sources familiar with the investigation told MS NOW.

Not nearly the most salient thought this week, but mark my words, this guy will be Trump’s guest at the state of the Union and get a round of applause from republicans.

not getting shot in the face by a government thug after dropping your kid off at a school is a kitchen table issue, probably the most talked about issue at kitchen tables right now honestly

We need to get it lodged more firmly in the discourse that Trump and Stephen Miller are prioritizing removing nonviolent immigrants over public safety. They are sinking so many resources into their ethnic purification project that they're putting us in more danger.

I hate to break it to you, but heavily-armed government militias are roaming unchecked through US cities and shooting human rights observers dead in the streets. That's happening in our country.

“There are anonymous federal agents in the streets committing acts of wanton violence” is itself probably a very prescient kitchen-table issue.

It’s just a different sort of one.

Democrats need to understand that they can just say “It’s insane to threaten Greenland” and “I don’t think ICE should murder Americans in the street” and you don’t need to pretend to link it to the affordability crisis.

Say bad things are bad.

they ran on no more wars and are now pitching global conquest. they ran on protecting kids and are now paid subscribers to a deep fake kiddie porn generator. a competent opposition party would find a way to use this to their advantage

he's just gonna keep doing illegal shit as long as everyone keeps letting him

The SCIF at Mar a Lago is a gazebo with a thin curtain pulled around it?

What an amazing analogy of life under Trump!

Despite all the advances in technology, you still can’t smell pictures

It will look great in pictures though

Not to be controversial but I think we should use tools and resources to make people's lives less miserable instead of more
