NEW: Video shared with me from a bystander in DC shows multiple masked federal agents (at least one of whom appears to have an ICE badge) violently attacking and handcuffing a delivery worker in the street outside Bluestone Lane cafe near Logan Circle this morning.

Please take care when watching.

My radio show in downtown Chicago ended at midnight. By the time I walked out of the building, it was closer to 1 am. The only thing that ever made me feel unsafe walking to my car were the bros who harassed me online; most of whom were MAGA

Despicable. Despicable to write it. Despicable to run it. Despicable to defend it. Denying the genocide in Gaza is enabling it, providing cover for war criminals…no matter the equivocations. But the argument that’s put forth—that if it were real genocide the death toll would be higher—is nauseating

“It turned out, I had made a terrible mistake: I had remained friends with someone who had appeared on Kash Patel’s enemies list. How did Bongino find out about this private friendship? I honestly don’t know. … I faced a choice: get demoted or resign.”

Remember Biden's State of the Union speech when he rightly said the GOP was gunning to cut Medicare/Medicaid, which he promised to never sign, and the Republicans all boo'd and MTG called him a liar? So who was lying, again?

YouTube video by FRONTLINE PBS | Official The Rise and Fall of Terrorgram (full documentary) | FRONTLINE

Every time a far-right MAGA commits a heinous crime, they like to "lone wolf" the guy. This documentary covers the radicalization of young men online, complete with manifestos and violent, deadly directives.

This Frontline documentary "Terrorgram" is worth your time.

Are Dems going to do anything about the fact that pro-Trump PACs continue to run ads pushing his tax cuts, school choice, etc?

If you live in Louisiana Congressional District 04
You need to know that Mike Johnson is aware of this 👇
And still has plans to push the OBBB through anyway
You need to know that Mike Johnson isn't serving your best interests

Juli was able to make a phone call late Friday and told her family that: She is in a warehouse, but she does not know the location She believes that the people who picked her up are bounty hunters There are many others being held where she is being held.

Yuriana Julia Pelaez Calderon, an organizer with the Los Angeles-based Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment, was picked up by men in an unmarked car last Wednesday, and nobody knows where she is. She made a phone call late Friday and the information she gave is chilling:

Maybe Jake Tapper should focus on this…the guy currently in office destroying the country.

what federal agents did to a father of three Marines while he was cutting grass in Orange County on Sunday has happened in some form daily — and deliberately — all over Los Angeles for 18 days.

We Better Pray That No Unexpected Crisis Hits While Trump Is President It’s a world exploding with crises waiting to happen. Donald Trump has made us less prepared for every one of them.

If you live in the US, you are in greater jeopardy today than you were 6 months ago. So is your family. So are your friends & neighbors. Virtually all the important parts of the U.S. gov't created to protect us are being shut down, gutted, or marginalized. My latest. newrepublic.com/article/1968...

I wrote about how the 2020 protests hurt Trump politically. I also wrote about how counternarratives about left-wing violence are just spin — and wildly at odds with the reality of extremist violence. Gift link: wapo.st/3SOEv6e

There’s always a tweet.

Two of the three states with the largest population of people in the U.S. illegally are the red states of Texas and Florida. Trump, notably, does not name their cities when calling on ICE to execute more aggressive immigration raids. He does, however, name LA, Chicago and New York.

NBC's Jacob Soboroff reports from the Los Angeles protests as law enforcement fires flash bangs NBC News correspondent Jacob Soboroff was reporting on the ground in Los Angeles when law enforcement started using crowd control tactics against protesters, including firing flash bangs. Soboroff spe...

here’s the moment LASD advanced on protestors with horses and used flash-bangs as we reported live yesterday. www.msnbc.com/msnbc/amp-vi...

This is what our folks on the ground are saying too

I think there were more people at the protest I went to in Falls Church this morning 😂

When Los Angeles actually *was* burning down six months ago, these people didn't give a damn about us. Now they're spreading fake AI videos showing LA burning

The Washington plost Democracy Dies in Darkness Trump White House opens door to historie military deployment on U.S. soil

the word "constitution" does not appear in this article

nor does any indication that the Trump regime's actions might be illegal

it does however note "White House officials maintain that the president is ... standing up for 'law and order' as Democrats go soft on violent agitators."

We can't let this story die. This is seriously crazy.

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

I was a medic at the Santa Ana protests in OC today.

I watched police fire tear gas, flash bangs, & rubber bullets into crowds of men, women, & children.

Other medics and I were clearly marked with red crosses, and the police were targeting us.

One of the most fucked up things I’ve ever seen.

When President Johnson activated the Nat'l Guard in Alabama in 1965 over Gov. Wallace's objection he did it to protect protesters advocating for voting rights for Black people who had previously met violence at the hands of state troopers. Very different situation.

Federal Judges Are Begging Us to Pay Attention A Data-Driven Analysis of nearly 300 Federal Cases Reveals Judges Quoting Kafka and Warning of Democracy in Peril

NEW: I analyzed nearly 300 federal cases involving the Trump administration. Federal judges—across the political spectrum—are using language I’ve never seen before. One called government actions “unconscionable.” Another quoted Kafka. They’re begging us to pay attention.

ICE crossed a line in LA

“A 2010 study that analyzed 40 years of protest coverage in five major newspapers, including The New York Times and The Washington Post, found that the papers depicted protests — even peaceful ones — as nuisances rather than as necessary functions of democracy.”
