It's almost as if appeasement just makes the enemy bolder. Who could've foreseen that?

"I have searched the depths of Legal Arguments not yet articulated or vetted on this subject"

Good old fashioned capitalism?!

So the national emergency justifying this was "the lady was mean to me?"

We are not “moving on” till the victims get justice.

Listen to this. Not a penny more for this. Abolish and prosecute anyone who had anything to do with it.

Tim Walz was right, these people are WEIRD

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.

Hundreds of kids are still detained.

We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

One of the iron rules of American politics: Debt is only a problem when Democrats are in charge

Wow, really "delivering for America" there

JD Vance's "for what?" when asked if the government should apologize to Alex Pretti's family pretty much encapsulates the contempt and disdain the administration feels for the 99.9% of us that aren't well heeled donors or callous billionaires

“If you read or share only one article today, make it this:
HOW TRUMP HAS POCKETED $1,408,500,000 … Historically, one thing that has helped bring down authoritarians is public awareness of their use of power of the office for self-enrichment.”

They closed the CIA World Factbook and deleted it entirely.

60% agree

Anyone else out there have to let their university know if they contact government (any level), either for research or teaching?

What's an "urban canoe guide"? Sounds cool

One elite institution that hasn't failed us

Woah this NYC isometric map (looks just like Simcity 2000) is blowing my mind! cannoneyed.com/isometric-nyc/

More Than 10k STEM PhDs Have Left Government Since Trump’s Election, Analysis Finds

Wow. Unbelievable loss of knowledge and experience in the government since the start of Trump's term: www.huffpost.com/entry/ice-ki...

Senate Democrats plot strategy as DHS standoff deepens heading into shutdown week Two sources who were on a Democratic caucus strategy call Sunday said Minority Leader Chuck Schumer told the group the message must be to “restrain, reform and restrict ICE.”

Majority of the country now wants to abolish and/or dismantle ICE and yet Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. told the caucus the message had to be to “restrain, reform and restrict ICE.”

Once again it looks like Schumer is about to choke after getting a massive opportunity.

So pathetic and weak.

All to please a wannabe king who is demented and thrives on violence.

Don't count of Kevin Stii to do the right thing, he'll revert to ugly MAGA politcs as sure as the sun rises.

"You know, I believe that the Twin Cities represents the best of America on a fundamental level."
"Why is that & how so?"
"Because we represent this idea of embracing others from other places."
Minnesotans are enacting a powerful vision of America in the face of authoritarian state violence.
