anyone choosing this moment to be all "here's what you get with republicans: bombs in the middle east" needs to grow up rapidly, considering what the last dem admin did in gaza & their current support for trump's actions right now. this is what you get with (wholly bipartisan) american imperialism

If Keir Starmer had been programmed, Manchurian Candidate style, to rise to power and destroy the Labour Party from within, he couldn’t have done it more effectively than he has done.

An official letter from the Kansas Division of Vehicles dated February 23, 2026, with a redacted recipient address. The letter notifies the recipient that due to the enactment of Senate Bill 244, all Kansas driver's licenses and IDs must reflect the holder's sex at birth. It states that the recipient's current credential will become invalid immediately upon the law's publication on February 26, 2026, with no grace period. The recipient is directed to surrender their current ID to receive a new one matching their sex assigned at birth. The document concludes with instructions on how to appeal the notice if received in error, along with contact information for the department.

Kansas is sending letters to trans people telling them that their licenses will be revoked as of tomorrow and that they risk arrest for driving on a suspended license.

This is pure cruelty.

Pretty clear that the line in the sand for the Roberts Court is the neoliberal economic order. The executive can do what he wants with democracy and the regulatory state, but threats to capital trigger a strong institutional response.

Notice how the popular media narrative has moved on, while people on the ground in Minneapolis are still struggling and crying out that things are as bad as ever. This is how fascist regimes operate β€” overreach, recalibration, normalization. Get louder, not quieter.

This is overt racism. Full stop. There’s no β€˜misinterpretation’ and no excuse. This is who he is, who he’s always been, and why he should never be anywhere near power again. And there’s a reason the tapes from The Apprentice have never been released.

Minnesota shifting narrative from "rabble rousing protesters" vs "law enforcement" to "people of conscience" vs "evil regime." This is essential to defeating authoritarianism - exposing who, what & why they are by demonstrating who, what & why we are.
And MAGA knows it.

His name is DAVID EASTERWOOD and he’s not just β€œreportedly associated,” he’s the Acting Director of the ICE Field Office here.

They want to be badass warrior spies with no mercy, no rules until they face the *tiniest* bit of accountability, then they cry like babies who got their juice box stolen.

Minnesota doctors say immigration crackdown is forcing patients to hide, endangering lives "The only other time in history I can remember having a group of physicians standing in front of you (like this) was during COVID…this is a moment of crisis in our state."

"Minnesota doctors say immigration crackdown is forcing patients to hide, endangering lives."

"Jaundiced babies missing appointments. Appendicitis festering untreated for days. Expectant mothers laboring in hiding."

I wonder how long it will take the media to catch on to the fact that ICE’s recruiting spree has effectively deputized every white supremacist hate group out there.

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic.

The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.
