NANCY MACE: What is a woman? Have you learned that lesson?

WALZ: I'm the governor of Minnesota. I'm not here to be a prop for your obsession.

many such cases, i'm afraid

The federal government is executing American citizens in the middle of the street for exercising their constitutional right to freedom of speech.

This is tyranny. No free people can accept this kind of government. We need to bring an end to the Trump regime.

ICE break into famiy's home—detain son while threatening to shoot his parents.

"Please don't shoot!" the mother cries out in Spanish.

She then starts praying to "God in Heaven" for help.

Agents enter their home without warning—or a warrant.

this guy worked as a nurse and his final act was putting himself in harm's way to help a woman being brutalized by a gang of masked men

Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."

From Senator Chris McDaniel: “Lately, some folks have taken to calling ICE “the Gestapo.” It sounds fierce. It feels righteous. But it isn’t true, and it isn’t harmless. The Gestapo was a secret police force. No warrants. No courts. No lawyers. And no appeals. People vanished in the night, not because they broke the law, but because the law no longer meant anything. The knock on the door was the sentence. ICE isn’t that. Not even close. ICE is a public agency enforcing laws passed by elected officials. Its agents file reports. They seek warrants. They lose cases. Judges stop them. Lawyers challenge them. Some detainees go home. That’s not tyranny. That’s bureaucracy, for better and worse. You can hate immigration policy. You can argue enforcement is too harsh, too sloppy, or too broad. You can work to have the law changed if you wish. That’s a republic doing what it’s supposed to do. But when you call ordinary law enforcement “the Gestapo,” you cheapen real evil. You turn history into a slogan and suffering into a metaphor. And once every badge is tyranny, no tyranny is left to recognize. In Mississippi, I was raised to believe words should earn their weight. This one hasn't yet. It throws around the language of dictatorship while living under a system where courts still rule, lawyers still argue, and the government still loses. That difference matters. Because the day enforcement becomes secret, unchecked, and answerable to no one, we won’t need to borrow names from history. We’ll know exactly what we’re dealing with. And we’ll wish we’d kept our words honest.”

“ICE isn’t the Gestapo. The Gestapo was…” (proceeds to describe qualities that apply to what ICE is currently doing)

Brooklyn Park police chief Mark Bruley: "We're hearing people being stopped with no cause & being demanded to show paperwork to determine if they're here legally. We started hearing from our police officers the same complaints. Every one of these individuals is a person of color... it has to stop"

Quite the statement from the Prime Minister of Poland

I'm just spitballing here, and maybe I'm an optimist but I'm somehow convinced that this whole anti-trans thing will end at some point with the complete defeat of TERFism. Can we do some post-mortem whereby we shun whoever was banging the drum for that side?

The ultimate irony: the nationalist right decided to jettison thousands of years of culture just to slavishly imitate American culture war nonsense

It's so funny when Polish rightwingers desperately try to make the war on Christmas a thing in Poland, given that the traditional "merry Christmas" in Polish literally translates as "happy holidays".

Epstein survivor Sarah Ransome on Ghislaine Maxwell. Listen to the survivors.

Look, our President may be a felon pedophile with no regard for the Constitution, but I’ll be just damned if that delivery driver wants to make a life for himself! I simply won’t have it!

Epstein survivor Sarah Ransome on Ghislaine Maxwell: “I have spent the last 17 years in my own prison for what she, Jeffrey, and all the co-conspirators did to me. I was raped three times a day. Ghislaine must die in prison.”

Anyone who belongs to any minority group needs to be aware that what is being done to trans people can and will be done to them. In a decade we have been stripped of our rights to exist in public spaces by a press campaign and a well funded lobby.

Any Labour MP, any Labour member, who actually believes in human rights needs to resign or become compicit in several genocides.

Scientist on green card detained for a week without explanation, lawyer says A Korean citizen studying in Texas on a green card was detained in San Francisco after a trip overseas. His lawyer says authorities won’t give a reason.

A Korean-born researcher and longtime U.S. legal permanent resident has spent the past week detained by immigration officials at the San Francisco International Airport without explanation and has been denied access to an attorney, according to his lawyer.

Democrats wrestle whether to kill ban on trans care in Trump’s ‘Big, Beautiful Bill’ Democrats have an opportunity to protect transgender people’s health care. It also comes at a time when Republicans see anti-trans policies as a winning issue, Eric Garcia writes

This means that Democrats will have to raise a point of order on this part of the bill. This would force a vote on the amendment that would require 60 votes. Republicans have 53 Senate seats, so it means they would need to pick off 7 Democrats for this.

There is one place, however, where Musk, with the help of his minions, achieved his goals. He did indeed shred U.S.A.I.D. Though a rump operation is now operating inside the State Department, the administration says that it has terminated more than 80 percent of U.S.A.I.D. grants. Brooke Nichols, an associate professor of global health at Boston University, has estimated that these cuts have already resulted in about 300,000 deaths, most of them of children, and will most likely lead to significantly more by the end of the year. That is what Musk’s foray into politics accomplished.

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty.

West Point grads got some rambling advice today on selecting a trophy wife after their second divorce from a draft dodger in a red campaign hat before he hauled ass to play golf.

Call me a cynic but it's weird how the EHRC issues weird and openly contradictory guidance about trans people.

Only for a week or two later an openly anti-trans billionaire to offer to fund court cases against trans people.

Is there be a connection? or a big coincidence?

Or am I mistaken?

“The government of the United States is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion.” — Treaty of Tripoli, signed by the United States in 1797.

What's a DBS?

America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

A lot of the things you just talked about in the outside, in the scientific community, I think part of it stems from the fact that so much of the scientific community is on the left and they didn’t vote for President Trump. And so almost any change made is going to end up causing, you know, anxiety.

NIH slashes overheads, fires directors and staff, freezes funds, halts trials, interrupts research, stalls grant review, and terminates 100s of grants on infectious disease, vaccines, mRNA, DEI, LGBTQ health.

NIH director, to Bari Weiss: Scientists are just upset because they didn't vote for Trump.

"Let's not take the soul-sucking path of sacrificing the most persecuted for that which we deem to be most popular. I know that there are transgender children right now looking out at this world and wondering if anyone is going to stand up for them and for their simple right to exist. Well, I am."

Yes. This really happened. They used a group chat to plan strikes on a foreign country. No, Signal is not an authorized platform for national security information.

NEBRASKA CROWD: “TAX THE RICH! TAX THE RICH!”
