“Watchfulness is the most dangerous form of resistance because it obstructs the Trump regime’s project of habituation. Fascism works by making the extreme normal.” @fotoole.bsky.social

“The sin of civic “interference” is in fact the saving grace of democracy.”

DOGE actions caused the loss of 294,000 jobs in 2025, beating out market/economic conditions, business closings, cost-cutting, AI, and restructuring.

Congratulations, Elon Musk! The #1 cause of US job loss in 2025!

This certainly rings true with my observations.

I hope this gets a lot of attention and kaitlancollins.bsky.social asks Trump about his pardons of J6 criminals.

Pam Bondi’s Epstein Testimony Exposed the Whole Game - Slate
Excellent piece that gets to the core of Trump’s and Bondi’s use of federal law enforcement to protect the powerful, aid Trump, punish those who don’t bow to Trump, and fail everyone else, especially the most vulnerable.

👏👏Bravo!

Less than 2% of immigration deportation orders during Oct-Dec, 2025 were prompted by crimes committed other than illegal entry. Billions of $s, countless violations of civil rights, many deaths & injuries, millions traumatized. This isn’t about public safety.

“I will not apologize because I did nothing wrong” defines who Trump is as a human being.

The fact that so many people voted for and continue to enable this is sadly defining what America is as a country.

DHS has requested expedited deportation proceedings against family of Liam Conejo Ramos The federal government has filed a motion seeking to end asylum claims for the family of Liam Conejo Ramos, according to the lawyer representing the family.

The United States government is retaliating against 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos and his family for having the temerity to challenge their unlawful detention with a habeas petition.

That’s retaliation. This is Kilmar Ábrego García all over again. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

I’ve got a herder, too. Herders are going to herd. You’d think a dog daycare business would understand and accommodate.

I have this, too.

They are getting rid of one of the best things about The Post and one of the best sportswriting teams of any newspaper.

A souvenier in more ways than one. This freaking sucks.

I can’t think of a crime that ever dropped this fast, yet nobody is talking about it. Obviously, I’m very curious what is driving the drop.

The Melania Trump Documentary Is a Disgrace The exorbitant film captures the rotten state of the entertainment industry.

I gasped:

"Melania shows off her custom-made inauguration gown, stark white with black ribbons overlaying it, a dress that now looks unavoidably like the redacted Epstein files." www.theatlantic.com/culture/2026...

Minnesota shooting scrambles America’s gun debate - The Washington Post
The WaPost spin: both sides are being hypocritical! But the inconsistencies are mainly from the right. They’re fine with bugaloo & militia pals at political events with AR-15s. Dems aren’t praising Pretti for carrying a gun.

That “appears to” drove me batshit crazy!

Minneapolis Live Updates: State Seeks Access to Evidence as Federal Officials Blame Shooting Victim

www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...
It’s nice to see MN corporations and pro sports teams speak out; but what a lame statement, to call for a deescalation and for federal, state, and local govt to work together. Push them further, to call for ICE & CBP to leave and stop their lawless reign of terror.

👇This.

Van Hollen: "They really think the American people are stupid. I mean, we can all see the video. We saw the video with Renee Good. We saw the video with Alex Pretti. The real domestic terrorists are in the White House right now."

Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti.

Minneapolis Police Chief O'Hara: "The video speaks for itself. We have identified this person - 37-year-old, white male, resident of the city. The only interaction that we are aware of with law enforcement has been for traffic tickets and we believe he is a lawfully gun owner with a permit to carry"

Republicans: everyone must be able to carry any gun at all times,
up to and including high powered rifles, to protect themselves against tyranny

also Republicans, without batting an eye: carrying a gun is unquestionable justification for federal agents to shoot you dead in the street

Looks that way

FBI Field leader to NYT: "I remember praying that we didn’t have a terrorist attack, mass shooting or cyberattack slip through the cracks because my agents, who were highly trained to protect against such threats, were assigned to immigration enforcement."

Absurd.

Justice Department weighs rollback of gun regulations
Trump & Bondi cloak their gifts to the gun industry, especially its worst actors, as some sort of respect for the 2nd Amendment. It’s such BS. None of the regs they’re rolling back infringe on 2A rights. The regs keep guns from violent ppl.
