Kristi Noem is flat-out lying when she claims no U.S. citizen has been arrested in her violent crackdown. Do a web search on “immigration citizen arrested” and you’ll see. Here’s one of the many documented reports we found.

"Diversity weakens" is just bald racism and bigotry on the face of it. Nothing to argue, it should just be named for what it is in every outlet and by every platform. Either this is racism or nothing is.

fucking monstrous

Yep, it’s the food stamps.

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

So the billionaire president with the billionaire cabinet supported by billionaires gives tax cuts an sweetheart deals to billionaires and tears down the White House to build a billionaire ballroom while making food and healthcare unaffordable for everyone else? And half America is ok with that?

The government is shut down. Trump is LITERALLY demolishing the White House. Kristi Noem just spent $348M on private jets. People's health insurance premiums are skyrocketing. Millions will soon lose food benefits.

These fuckers think they're royalty. #NoKings

people should start shouting "SCHULTZ!" every time they see Speaker Johnson in public

Watch my supercut of things Mike Johnson doesn’t know. You can see the whole show here: www.youtube.com/live/Ams4OLn...

Republican rhetoric all week was clearly aiming to either depress turnout or inspire visible maga pushback. Neither happened and the press doesn’t seem particularly interested in exploring the implications of that.

Frankly if a multibillion dollar news company can't think of a next day story about a 7-million-person protest that ended with the president of the United States posting a video of himself shitting on America, everyone there should find a new line of work.

Historians of the future: Rest assured, millions of us know all this in real time. We are horrified, shocked, enraged, and ashamed. We are acting, in a thousand ways, to oppose it. This cannot, and will not, be how the United States ends. trib.al/0islLh9

I’m old enough to remember when it was a scandal to say that a portion of your opponents were “deplorable.” This seems a lot worse?

It's going up to $40 billion.

USAID's budget last year was $28 billion.

By the time you get to the point where the Transportation Secretary is complaining about political protests, you know the administration is truly scared of the public backlash.

The shameless GOP lying about the No Kings gatherings scheduled for next Saturday reveals how deeply hostile much of the Republican Party is to “the right of the people peaceably to assemble.” I look forward to our local No Kings event, and urge my fellow Americans to attend in their communities.

The correct response to Republicans widely depicting the coming protests as terrorism is to go out and protest. Each person should get 10 more people to do so. If Republicans are going to hint at violent state responses to legitimate protest, the only answer is bigger numbers.

@sanders.senate.gov: "No, Speaker Johnson, the #NoKings Rally on October 18th is not a 'hate America' rally. ... It’s a rally of millions of people who believe in American freedom and are not going to allow you and President Trump to turn us into an authoritarian country."

the gop is going to try their damndest to make it illegal to be a democrat. and this is why as effective as the health care attack is, it cannot be the only thing democrats talk about.

The Median Experience Of Tyranny If the politics of tyranny were self-discrediting, we wouldn't need mantras like "never again."

This is excellent from @brianbeutler.bsky.social & captures a lot of what I'm sensing in the first year of Trump's second term

The same people who insisted devout Catholic Joe Biden was leading a “war on Christianity” are now cheering Trump on as his armed goons assault clergymen.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

What's happening in Chicago is not normal.

The arrest of Alderperson Fuentes is just the latest example of how far Noem and Bovino are willing to go to ignore the rule of law. We must all speak up.

This is great. The absurdity of this moment captured. Make it go viral.

The “dual state” theory was invented to describe Nazis. The Supreme Court could take us there. Authoritarianism—but make it look like the rule of law.

In the Third Reich, Hitler’s will replaced German law. Whatever he wanted, he did.

Life in the early months of Trump’s second presidency hews to this framework in important respects.

Every crisis is an opportunity. This is the moment for Dems on Capitol Hill to call a news conference and make clear: Not one dime to fund the federal government until Trump withdraws his unlawful orders and agrees not to send troops to occupy Democratic-run cities

Why we can’t allow Trump to ban that other f-word | Will Bunch The column the Trump regime wants to ban: America has to call out surging fascism in order to defeat it.

The reason Trump, Vance and Miller want to make it un-American and maybe even illegal to mention "fascism" or make comparisons to Nazis is because they are aggressively doing fascism, with Gestapo tactics in the streets of Chicago
