Trump issued an EO aimed at increasing production of glyphosate, a chemical in weedkiller that has been linked to cancer.

He’s also directed the rollback of environmental protections over our air, water, and how much pollution corporations can produce.

“Make America Healthy Again.”

In a sane timeline, this sentence alone would be the end of this guy’s career.

We can't fall into right-wing populism’s lie that the most vulnerable in society are to blame for wealth inequality in our countries. We need to build movements that tell the truth: the story of wealth inequality is not a cultural one, but a class one.

The Pride flag at the Stonewall Monument is re-raised!

New Yorkers won’t let Donald Trump erase LGBTQ+ history, or trample the rights of our LGBTQ+ neighbors.

Utterly unacceptable in a democracy. In a sane world, House Republicans would be drafting impeachment articles today and Senate Republicans would be preparing for a trial to convict and remove him from office

Federal judge rules DOJ can ‘no longer’ be trusted in voter roll crusade The judge pointed to a letter from Bondi to Minnesota that tied federal immigration enforcement to demands for voter data as the smoking gun.

NEW: A federal judge in Oregon issued a sweeping rebuke of the Justice Department’s nationwide push to seize state voter rolls, ruling that the department can no longer be presumed to be acting in good faith and warning that its conduct threatens voters and states’ rights.

Checks and balances” had a good run.

This will be, or should be, featured in a million campaign ads

📌JUST A REMINDER: The Biden administration had a sweeping, bipartisan immigration bill that had the backing of Mike Johnson. It was set to go to a vote until Trump ordered Johnson to renege, so he could stoke immigration fear on the campaign trail. "They're eating our dogs and cats."

Fuck the GOP.

Just days after a group of Trump-aligned billionaires officially took over TikTok in the U.S., users reported their videos criticizing ICE and the shooting of Alex Pretti were suppressed or delayed.

The oligarchy is tightening its grip over even more of our media.

Beware.

Screenshot of an X.com post by Acyn (@Acyn) quoting Wolfers: “This is the most interventionist government of my lifetime. It’s the least conservative government of my lifetime. When you are the richest country in the world, maybe you are not the ones who should be tearing down your existing institutions. That’s usually what countries that are lagging behind try to do. But that’s exactly what this president is doing.”

Screenshot of text continuing the quote: “This won’t show up in next quarter’s GDP. What it will show up as, a decade from now, is companies that were never founded. Entrepreneurs who couldn’t afford to go to business school. Immigrants with great ideas who stayed in their home countries instead. Whatever the next generation’s Google or OpenAI is, it may not be invented—or it may not happen on our soil.”

Screenshot of more text: “We’ll never see that absence directly. But our kids will feel it… lost opportunities: businesses never started, jobs that never existed, technologies never developed…” Below is a video thumbnail of a man speaking on a webcam-style interview set, with books and plants behind him. A lower-third reads “EXCLUSIVE” and “WOLFERS DISCUSSES TRUMP’S LONG-TERM ECONOMIC DAMAGE,” with MeidasTouch Network branding.

Trump’s true, horrifying economic legacy.

This is the high class way of firing someone. But understand this was not their plan. This is only happening because Minneapolis showed up and spoke out, and because all of us are working the phones and the emails and the channels of activism. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Raise your hand if you think ICE should be abolished and their murderers prosecuted 🖐️

Republicans built a system in which a person who is legally carrying a gun is not considered a threat to public safety. For them to now claim that a person doing exactly that is a domestic terrorist is the height of hypocrisy. They are claiming a license to kill.

I can't put into words the feeling of watching our government, a hive of evil antisocial filth, the absolute worst humanity has to offer, colliding with the best. Ordinary people trying to help each other, risking everything to stand up for what's plainly, unambiguously fair and right. It's unreal

The term “law enforcement” should not be used by media, except perhaps in quotations. It has sadly become an Orwellian term that is used to magically sanctify violence. Language matters. Be specific. Describe individuals with names and ranks. Say exactly what they did. Don’t repeat fascist hocum.

Healey: Whether it’s ballrooms, or masked agents, or attacks on Europe and Greenland…This is not normal. It’s not normal to have somebody who acts like a two-year-old throwing a tantrum. On any given day, we don’t know what he’s going to do.

This shouldn’t be normalized. It’s not right.

Repression almost never announces itself by targeting everyone at once. It begins quietly, aimed at minorities, those with less power, fewer allies, or voices that are easier to ignore. Their rights are restricted, their freedoms narrowed, and their suffering dismissed as exceptional or deserved.

Since taking office, Trump has canceled or halted enforcement actions against 166 corporations accused of illegal conduct.

At least a third of those companies have close ties to his administration, including over 30 that have donated to Trump's ballroom.

The "law and order" president.

Trump Administration Has Sued More than 20 States for Refusing to Turn Over Voter Files The Justice Department’s attempts to collect sensitive voter information are part of a plan to interfere with elections.

The Justice Department’s push to collect voter data nationwide is an attempt to take control of election administration — a job the Constitution leaves to the states, not the federal government.

Grinning like a 5-year old getting his participation trophy at the post-season T-ball pizza party.

NEW: Jonathan Ross, the ICE thug who murdered Renee Good, was NOT TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL according to police reports. He was taken to the Federal Building. He was NOT INJURED. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

Why Vance Committed So Hard to the Minneapolis Shooter The vice president knows what ICE means to MAGA.

"ICE is violence-prone because its main purpose has become theatrical. Under present leadership, ICE is less a law-enforcement agency than it is a content creator.

Trump Administration Live Updates: Noem Says ‘Hundreds More’ Agents Will Be Sent to Minnesota Over ‘Corruption’

We have cleaned up the crime scene and blocked a local investigation and hidden the perpetrator and invaded the state and that is how you know that we are acting in good faith and that everything was the victim’s fault.

Tom Homan pleads with Minnesota leaders to tamp down ICE rhetoric The White House border czar warned: “There will be more bloodshed unless we decrease the hateful rhetoric.”

Human to Minneapolis: Don’t make us hurt you again. Remember that we have more guns. www.politico.com/news/2026/01...

ICE “rules” include:

1. You are not allowed to record video of them ever

2. They get to murder you because they got mad

He didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.

Watching from a different country, it's always been a bit of an eye roll when all the gun freaks in the US kept saying we need them to protect against a bad government and it's been made clear with all this shit is what a lot of us knew...it was really about "protecting against brown people" racism.
