were gonna need a sizable majority to fix all this and the GOP seems deadset on giving us one

I want Trump to double down on this shit all the way to November. I dont want him to realize how fucked he is until its way too late.

Yeah I’m not going to read too far into this when these doofuses only ever know how to double down. This is just a sign they’re losing and they know it.

Lotta people who don’t live here demanding that Minnesotans respond to violence with violence or we’re not resisting correctly. Setting aside for the moment whether that is effective or moral, come here and put your own bodies on the line then, you keyboard warrior fucks.

ok he might be cooking

i know the cool snarky leftist thing is to be like "as if dems will do anything when theyre in power" but i really do think well have a different democratic party in 2028. for the better

I have lost all patience with self-proclaimed cynics desperate to pretend that their quisling cowardice in the face of evil is wisdom.

the "and you're surprised by this?" guys have never been less vital than they are right now

What DHS is doing is so repugnant that not even a rubber-stamp moron ideologically aligned with the regime can talk themselves into signing off on them.
What happened today was awful. The reality that we will win is unchanged.

It’s no comfort, but the official DHS line being “he can be killed by masked agents of the state because he had a legal gun” is such an interesting new frontier in how Trump has made the conservative movement very publicly and embarrassingly abandon every principal it once claimed.

in darks times like this its important to ignore doomslop grifters like brynn tannehill.

It's tough for folks to internalize the fact that a murder like this is the exact opposite of a sign of regime strength. Galvanizing millions of Americans into a stance of "They might murder me and that's *exactly* why I'm going to keep getting in their faces," does not end well for fascists.

If one democrat says anything about affordability or hiding from the Epstein files today, they should never hold elected office again.

Congrats to the 7 Democrats that voted for more ICE funds the other day! Its not like you could have possibly predicted that the agency that has shot multiple ppl would do so again, right?

American Democracy Is Showing Signs of Life One year into Trump’s second term, the country’s institutions and civil society are still checking his authoritarian impulses.

Trump has likely wasted his opportunity to consolidate durable authoritarian rule in the United States. But he can still do a great deal of damage.

Spanberger ends relationship between ICE and Virginia State Police “This is an absolutely huge first step because it sends a message that she cares about the trust that the community has with the government, not just law enforcement,” immigration advocate Luis Aguila...

that’s right

If you work for ice please understand that your kids will laugh at a character based on you dying in an action movie before the end of the decade. They’ll be in movies for really little kids. Like Phineas and Ferb shit. There will be an action figure of you with a detachable head

they’re not gonna do any of this lol

You lying piece of shit. I chaired the Minnesota DFL for all three of your runs here. I watched you lose. Three times. Minnesota never bought your con. And now, as Chair of the DNC, I’m looking forward to ending Trumpism for good in 2028 — not with lies, but with votes. Again.

i mean, sure, but that is a rapidly dwindling number of people *because they keep doing shit like this*. this does not win new adherents, and it does not play well with all existing adherents, it is extremely net negative for the support of their ideological project

The New York times interview where trump proclaims that the only person who can stop me is me is one of those profound moments of "I wish people would stop taking Trump at his word."

Trump is getting stopped a lot! He's losing all the time! These are desperate moves to portray himself as powerful

If you're a Trumpist Christian nationalist brown shirt, you can probably watch the Iran protests and just spike your shit and go home, because whatever Trump and those assholes are going to put into their authoritarian vision, it's way less than the Iranian government, which is going up in smoke.

This is also becoming enough of a crisis that the admin is having to send out the VP to talk about it.

I’m seeing a lot of people predict that “the right wing media is going to turn this story for Trump” and “they’re going to work overtime to make America forget this” and you should tell that to all these people out there in Minnesota in fucking January. This can matter. This will matter.

publicly rejecting it, on every social media account you have, and amplifying every other rejection, is also signaling. they’re a weak regime, getting weaker, in a mix of false bravado and panic and fear, and who they fear is us. they should.

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy.

She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

Guys, with understanding that everyone is angry right now, I am honestly going to start blocking people who say things like, "Who cares? The law doesn't matter anymore," or "They can do whatever they want, they can't be stopped" etc. I mean, if you really feel that way, you're a part of the problem.

i agree that this is what they’re trying to do. i don’t think it works out for them the way they think it does.

James Talarico: When we win, we will launch a full investigation into ICE and we will haul these masked men in front of the Senate so the world can see their faces.

We will pass a law requiring ICE agents to identify themselves and ban them from kidnapping people off our streets without a warrant.
