The Secret Police Are Here Trump is losing on policy and the law. But he’s winning on power.

“There are only two kinds of society in which armed agents of the government routinely conceal their identities:

(1) Lawless failed states…

(2) Authoritarian states…

Stable democracies do not allow agents of the state to operate under cover of concealment.”

This statement from Jonathan Joss's husband is heart breaking.

No, headline writers, he wasn't "killed in an argument with a neighbor." He was *deliberately murdered* for being gay right after his dog was decapitated.

Bet the murderer calls himself a "Christian."

THIS is why Pride is important.

Overheard: Apparently Zelenskyy had some cards, and he didn’t need a suit.

The ugly truth behind ICE agents’ masks | Will Bunch Newsletter Plus, is civility a good thing in college admissions?

Trump wants 1 million deported, but despite his lies there aren't many murderers and rapists. Instead, they arrest teens for Driving While Brown, or use a ploy to disappear refugees who come to immigration court

Guys, it's the oligarchs. If you want to blame someone for 2024, blame the oligarchs. Anyone telling you to blame someone else is part of the oligarchy. Dark money has been to blame since citizens united.

We acknowledge that many are not comfortable calling out Israel, whether its due to guilt or sycophancy, the point isn’t to attack Israel for their identity but actions & supremacist ideology. Israel is committing war crimes, land theft, and genocide. It doesn’t matter why, only that it stops.

Just completed my two hour call with President Vladimir Putin of Russia. I believe it went very well. Russia and Ukraine will immediately start negotiations toward a Ceasefire and, more importantly, an END to the War. The conditions for that will be negotiated between the two parties, as it can only be, because they know details of a negotiation that nobody else would be aware of. The tone and spirit of the conversation were excellent. If it wasn't, I would say so now, rather than later. Russia wants to do largescale TRADE with the United States when this catastrophic "bloodbath" is over, and I agree. There is a tremendous opportunity for Russia to create massive amounts of jobs and wealth. Its potential is UNLIMITED. Likewise, Ukraine can be a great beneficiary on Trade, in the process of rebuilding its Country. Negotiations between Russia and Ukraine will begin immediately. I have so informed President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, of Ukraine, Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, President Emmanuel Macron, of France, Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, of Italy, Chancellor Friedrich Merz, of Germany, and President Alexander Stubb, of Finland, during a call with me, immediately after the call with President Putin. The Vatican, as represented by the Pope, has stated that it would be very interested in hosting the negotiations. Let the process begin!

The Trump - Putin call ended in the usual bullshit, nothing substantial was agreed or moved forward. Trump isn't looking for peace, he's looking for a trade deal. This is about US and Russian oligarchs wanting to establish businesses, grab resources, and remove sanctions.

Statement from the NJAG Matt Platkin

Y'all must find a way to wake up your non-MAGA friends and family.

We don't have until 2026.

Unthinkable evil.

Imagine throwing away all of your political capital for this disgusting criminal.

Can’t imagine it?

Just ask Cory @booker.senate.gov

No.

Really.

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.

ive long held this view but the problem the post-clinton democratic party has is that it genuinely doesn't believe in anything. everything's negotiable, they're happy to veer rightward on crime, immigration, trans rights, fuck over labor, whatever they feel they need to roll over on they'll do it

MAKE NOISE ON THIS ONE‼️

They didn’t just deport him—they sent him to CECOT in El Salvador.

Agelviz came here legally through the refugee resettlement program—fully vetted. But when he landed in Houston, CBP snatched him over a tattoo: a clock and a rose.

No charges. No record. Just a suspicion.

Being wealthy isn't a virtue. Being poor isn't a character flaw.

I agree it is absolutely unfair to compare ICE to Gestapo when ICE has worked so hard to commit their own independent atrocities like 5000+ credible complaints of ICE sexually abusing migrant children and numerous cases of ICE deporting US citizen children while they were getting cancer treatment.

U.S. to pay nearly $5 million to family of Jan. 6 rioter Ashli Babbitt Babbitt was fatally shot by police during the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. The Trump administration’s decision to settle reverses the Justice Department’s earlier position.

BREAKING: $5M of your tax dollars will be going to the estate of criminal seditionist Ashli Babbit. UNCONSCIONABLE. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

So if you suddenly try to break into Congress to murder the VP you've supported for 4 years because he won't break the law and the police shoot you, your family gets 5 million dollars?

Do I have that right, humans?

These 350,000 will immediately be described as "illegal" by the administration — among other inevitable false descriptors.
