Well, this should be a record-breaking day nokings.org

The entire Democratic strategy debate — "moderate" or move left? fight or compromise? — is based on a misreading of data. Voters don't think Dems are too progressive; they think Dems are weak. The actual math on what to do about this isn't even close!

ICE Detention Contractors Are Reaping Massive Profits The largest immigrant deportation and prison contractors in the US are expecting an epic payout this year: for every $1

"The largest immigrant deportation and prison contractors in the US are expecting an epic payout this year: for every $1 that they donated to GOP campaigns in 2024, these private companies stand to reap more than $11,000 in increased annual revenue."

This isn’t about convicting Don Lemon. It’s unlikely that will happen. It’s about intimidating journalists & making them censure themselves out of fear of consequences. It’s about eroding the free press because the administration can’t afford the criticism.

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

Or how about this headline — “American citizen arrested without cause after exercising his Constitutional rights.” Very important that government propaganda not become the default framing.

There is no way in hell the United States under the Trump regime can host the World Cup in a few months.

They are murdering citizens in broad daylight, threatening war against NATO, and lawlessly kidnapping children and foreign heads of state.

The world has to organize a boycott. It’s not safe.

Abolish ICE, abolish DHS, redistribute the other agencies, prosecute actual criminals, such as people who commit execution-style murders of Americans in broad daylight.

How hard is it for a jackboot army to invade election places and seize the machines? State and local police will be needed to stop them — or better, deter them with shows of force.

Make no mistake. Trump will try everything to stop fair elections in 2026.

Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

AND IMPEACH AND REMOVE.

We need to clamor for that even if the votes aren't there—yet.

This lawless administration is now operating under the “what are you gonna do about it” doctrine. A John Roberts creation.

Walz: "We're no longer having a political debate. We're having a moral debate."

EVERY fucking Democrat in Washington needs to show and post this picture non-stop. This man was murdered in cold blood. Enough is enough.

So important. What they say is not the story. That is never the story. What happened is the story. Write what happened.

I stand with Minneapolis!

Today, Minneapolis had their annual Powderhorn Art Sled Rally. A community organized event that this time featured de-Icer sleds and bowling pins named for world leaders.

A very Minnesotan way to protest ICE. 😍🙌🏻

We are now 29 days beyond the statutory deadline for the full release of the Epstein files

More than 200,000 Danish citizens have signed a petition to buy California as a response to Trump’s attempt to take Greenland.

They say they will provide Californians with “rule of law, universal health care, fact-based politics, and a lifetime supply of Danish pastries.”

More proof that traditional media is out of touch:

The level of pearl clutching over Mayor Jacob Frey dropping a well-deserved f-bomb versus the outrage over the murder of Renee Nicole Good

30 Thoughts On The Illegal Venezuela War No war for royal.

If Dems can’t argue against the outcome here, their opposition to the process will be narrow and legalistic. Yet obviously if Trump HAD come to Congress, it would have been incumbent upon Democrats to deny him authorization, because the policy is fucking insane. www.offmessage.net/p/30-thought...

Today the Pentagon censured Senator Mark Kelly and moved to strip part of his earned military retirement benefits for stating the truth.

This administration is trying to convince Americans that truth is whatever it says it is—even when the evidence is plainly in front of us.

"Post-truth is pre-fascism, and Trump has been our post-truth president. When we give up on truth, we concede power to those with the wealth and charisma to create spectacle in its place."

This is Roy Cooper’s message today? That he’d rather not be in the Senate dealing with national issues? —

“I didn’t plan on running for federal office. I wanted to serve North Carolina from right here at home.”

Where’s the fired up, ready to go message?

Any thoughts on Venezuela?
