LET ME REPEAT THAT: ONE OF HIS OWN MAJOR SUPPORTERS IS COMPARING HIM TO MANCHIN & FETTERMAN…AS A COMPLIMENT.

YouTube video by Face the Nation Watch: Abigail Spanberger's full rebuttal to Trump's State of the Union

Dems should pay close attention to what Spanberger developed here: A forceful anti-Trump politics that speaks to people like grownups about ICE, grasps the political/cultural significance of Minneapolis, and doesn't shrink from defending immigrants and democracy:

And she won VA in a romp, WITHOUT abandoning trans people (as centrist pundits demanded).

This is the Washington Post’s current top. It’s sanewashing.

This is the NYT’s current top. It’s sanewashing.

This may be the best SOTU response in...ever? Nailing all the right points: affordability, ICE abuses, corruption, Epstein.

Not sure it matters, but Spanberger is providing Dems a good template for assailing Trump and offering alternative values and policies.

At some point we’re going to need to confront this reality. The entire Republican Party is committed to advancing the cause of fascism in the US.

Another word for this is treason.

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Donald Trump declared during Tuesday's State of the Union that "we're winning so much," saying he'd sparked a jobs and manufacturing boom at home while imposing a new world order abroad — hoping that offering a long list of his accomplishments can counter approval ratings that have been falling.

This is the AP’s current top. It’s sanewashing.

Listening to the Attorney General of our country sitting as a witness in an Oversight hearing screech, scream and call sitting Representatives “that woman,” and refer to a Representative who is questioning her as “she” is truly a testament to how low Trump has brought all our institutions.

Every American needs to watch this:

Again, this is FALSE. Administrative warrants are NOT signed by an immigration judge (or any judge at all). They are generated and signed by ICE officers themselves with no external oversight whatsoever.

Here is a blank sample warrant. Note who signs off on it; an "immigration officer."

@davidfrum.bsky.social

THIS ⤵️from @sifill.bsky.social is true for individual journalists AND news organizations as a whole. Either you stand with journalism & the First Amendment or you don't. There is no in between. Speak up just like the Minnesota journalism community is doing right here:

We did not properly punish the confederates. We did not properly punish the insurrectionists on January 6th. We have to punish ICE.

They can’t be allowed to slink back into their communities quietly. Expose them. Arrest them. Convict them. Imprison them.

“Over the course of a lifetime, we face only a few moments where the decisions we make and the actions we take will shape our history for years to come. This is one of them. If we give our freedoms away after 250 years, we might never get them back.”

If you're a soldier in the 11th Airborne Division being ordered to prep for deployment to Minnesota or Greenland, remember that you have the right to apply for conscientious objector status.

Call the GI Bill Rights hotline: 1-877-447-4487

Russia loves Trump’s message on Greenland, as Putin has openly said. It is worth asking whether this was a Russian idea. It certainly divides and could destroy NATO, and it distracts from Russia’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine.

Stars & Stripes is a great paper.

Markey: Vance said that he was just doing his job. Murdering a young mother and orphaning her child is not a job. It is a crime

This is a travesty of journalism — it doesn’t matter and does nothing to excuse ICE killing her.

Trump admits that this is nothing but political retribution. Minnesota voted against him three times and now he’s punishing us – putting lives at risk and wasting enormous resources in the process.

ARMED THUGS BREAKING AND ENTERING HOMES NOW.

Hey MAGA—why are you against the Constitution?

Trying to end birthright citizenship by executive order? That’s unconstitutional. MAGA needs www.PAXIS.app

The 14th Amendment guarantees:
— Equal protection under the law (yes, even for undocumented people)
— Citizenship for anyone born in the U.S.

If your officers ate not well enough trained to be able not to kill people who insult them, then not only should they be off the street; you should be out of a job.

One of the POINTS of training is to teach people to respond well to things that might fluster, anger, or terrify the rest of us.

All across the country, we want to give a huge shout-out to everyone who showed up, organized, and stood together in the streets Minneapolis, St. Paul, Chicago, New York City, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Atlanta, Miami, Los Angeles,

The decision has been made to break an American city. It is an experiment. We must do all we can (legally) to help Minneapolis hold on.

We cannot be more clear. Leave us the fuck alone.

Make it viral.
