I think @normative.bsky.social made this point yesterday, but once you get beyond the outrage of the brutality of the original “arrest” here, you also have to confront the fact that a D.A. CHOSE TO PROSECUTE THIS and a judge SENTENCED HIM TO A YEAR IN JAIL. Total system fail. WTF

It’s not just words/ memes from this sick tyrant. It’s his horrible racist actions brutalizing communities across our country. Trump has the Black and Hispanic community in his cross-hairs. This must stop. I’m running for the U.S. Senate to be the fighter for all Floridians.

There’s the winning message. They finally nailed it.

BREAKING: The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.

This is funny, but also brilliant. Once people go down the path (of any wrong decision), it is sooooo hard to turn back -- because it is tantamount to admitting you were foolish. As hard as it is, we need to offer soft landings and gentle off ramps (which is what we'd want too)

This Epstein drop is HUGE and utterly disgusting. I don’t see how this man is allowed to remain in office. Where are the evangelical leaders, the soccer moms, the folks stocking up on eggs, the farmers, the small business owners.

Decide. Who are you?

Stephen Miller is a very sick person, more so, IMO, than the president. And he is calling the shots.

I remember when Terry Moran dared to make this observation and got fired from ABC for it.

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

Updating my LEGO White House

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

We're witnessing the most aggressive, fanatical crackdown on free speech in my lifetime. The speed and breadth of government censorship and private sector and nonprofit capitulation has been astonishing. As has the lack of urgency/silence from people who've long claimed to care about this stuff.

Exactly 💯

Picked up a birthday gift at Target yesterday for my nine year-old grandson. The invoice showed the increased cost of the toy due to tariffs. Average Americans will suffer.

Actually, quite flattering.

Note to editors and producers: If an executive order demands action that is illegal or outside of the president’s authority, then you should not describe it as ordering something. You should say it seeks to achieve some outcome and then note it is illegal or beyond the power of the president.

Yes, Pete Hegseth and Michael Waltz violated all sorts of national security protocols by sharing military secrets with a journalist. But at least they were White when they did this.

A reminder in dark times: kindness, mercy, decency, and respect towards the least of us enrages Trumpists. It burns them. It’s like a mirror that shows them how they fall short of humanity.

Kindness and decency towards the people Trumpists hate is not just right; it torments Trumpists.

His track record speaks for itself. While we continue to resist, we should take comfort in that he is deeply incompetent, not very bright & his policies are hurting even his most devoted supporters. Let's not get in the way of his inevitable self-destruction.

Never say never.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

We have spent trillions to posture against Russia over the years.

Now we have a chance to send them into the ash heap of history by supporting Ukraine.

It’s a good deal, unless you want Russia to win, in which case god help you

Deserved

Dusting off my old Oxford English Dictionary and consulting carefully, I could not find "attack friends and submit to enemies" as a definition of the word "strength."

Yup.
