“War crimes don’t hide sex crimes”

Highway sign in Boston. How can we make this slogan viral?

Goodbye and good riddance.

But don’t take the bait. Firing Noem alone won’t halt Trump’s campaign of terror.

The atrocities happening by ICE behind the walls of detention facilities and in broad daylight have proven that ICE cannot be reformed.

Abolish ICE NOW.

I suppose we must wait and see what this 'Shield of the Americas' (ed. che cazzo?) entails?

BREAKING: Bob Rucho resigned from the North Carolina State Board of Elections on Thursday after revelations he had made political contributions in apparent violation of state law.

TODAY ON @thisguysucked.com: if you forgot that Richard Bruce Cheney was an unabashedly evil human who wanted nothing more than unchecked executive power and forever-war in the Middle East, Nicole Hemmer @pastpunditry.bsky.social and I are here to remind you.

Well would you look at that

This ghoul has finally been fired. But make no mistake, Stephen Miller is still in charge of DHS and especially ICE.

Every idiotic thing Mullin has said should be aired in his DHS confirmation hearing. At a time when Trump has launched an unprovoked war of aggression on a state known for its sponsorship of global terror, it's time to get the thugs off our streets and take security seriously.

Reminder: This is #MarkwayneMullin running for the exits, like a scared schoolgirl, during the Jan 6 #maga insurrection.

aging brain is old enough to remember Sens Harris and Boren as well as Rep and Speaker Carl Albert (all D-OK)

I truly do think all of the "Noem out, Mullin in" posts and stories are failing American democracy right now!

Trump is announcing his nominee.

That's it.

If the Senate majority wants to confirm him, they're a part of this—even after knowing what they know now.

And that matters come November.

Tim Sheehy was funded by one of Israel’s top donors, Stephen Schwarzman of Blackstone, to build his company, get a government contract, become a millionaire, and take Jon Tester’s seat, giving Republicans a majority.

For anyone who is unfamiliar with Tim Sheehy, here’s a thread of his past actions

Mullins defended Ross shooting Good.

@amyklobuchar.com & @smith.senate.gov should oppose his nomination. No support for DHS until prosecute all violent agents, claw back all ICE/CBPs funding, and get all our neighbors out of unsafe detention centers.

I'm afraid we should not underestimate the capacity of S**ners to produce an even bigger sh*thead as replacement

permit me to observe that N*em was moved to other 'employment' so remains in the picture but under less scrutiny

glad (but unsurprised) to see NYS Senator Hinchey's signature here

the problem is that Peabrain M*llin has a 'veneer of respectability' like 'Little Marco' by virtue of Senate 'service' but looks a 'straight swap' for incompetent (and crooked) N*em

Apparently a member of the Cherokee Nation, here's our numbskull in action

This is a great article and got too little attention when it first came out. @propublica.org is doing amazing work.

After Trump’s pardon freed him from prison, Jan. 6 rioter Andrew Paul Johnson repeatedly sexually abused two young kids.

“We were scared,” one victim testified.

Johnson tried to buy their silence - promising to share J6 restitution money.

Today, Johnson got life in prison.

But he's a Mixed Martial Advocate! 😑

as if anyone needed another reason to ignore FIF*-fest 2026

The Trump administration and its supporters have suggested the president might order ICE to the polls. After former Trump adviser Steve Bannon said ICE will surround polling places, White House press secretary Karolina Leavitt said she couldn’t guarantee an ICE agent wouldn’t be near a polling place

Who can blame them for being emotional? They are in range of over-staying and becoming liable to pay income tax.

thanks, again, Duke University; you must be so proud at having graduated this exemplar of humanity [ed. massive sh*thead] 😑

this attack on Ft William and Mary (14 Dec 74) not nearly so dramatic as 'Patriots Day': mob--sorry, Sons of Liberty--compelling surrender of 6 defenders (several were ill) and making off w/powder, etc (king's or province's?) doesn't make for gripping reading/viewing

Kristi Noem Misled Congress About Corey Lewandowski’s Role in DHS Contracts Testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Noem denied that Corey Lewandowski had any role in approving contracts. But internal DHS records and interviews with current and former agency staffer...

#ICYMI: Noem denied that aide Corey Lewandowski was involved in approving DHS contracts.

But DHS staffers say Lewandowski has approved numerous contracts at the agency and often needs to sign off on large contracts before any money goes out the door.
