Trump has deployed active military to help round up migrants and put them into detention camps.

The military forced us out of our homes at gunpoint in 1942 because we were considered possibly disloyal Americans. They sent us to internment camps for four years.

History is repeating. Pay attention.

What’s the difference between a gov controlling an algorithm, silently eliminating reach for things it doesn’t like, vs the same gov using its power, to demand that the platform remove the things it doesn’t like.?

In China they are overt. With TikTok in the US, they control silently

Er, um, say what now?

And even that wasn’t “conquering.” One of his Sugar Daddies bought it for him.

Some folks refusing to cede:

Michelle Obama.
Tammy Dickworth.
Liz Cheney.
Elizabeth Warren.

Maybe “masculine energy” isn’t what we need more of.

It's so fitting that Donald Trump's inauguration will be held in the Capitol Rotunda, the very place four years ago where his pack of lawless loons ransacked, looted, and smeared their excrement. What an apt metaphor for what the incoming administration plans to do to America.

The Capitol Rotunda has been traditionally used for presidents lying in state.

This Monday, it will be used for a president lying to *all* states.

My one wish for the inauguration is that there is a gift bag under the seats of Bezos, Zuck, Elon etc, with a single, embroidered , padded knee pad

Need to protect themselves when they are on bended knee, kissing the ring 🤷😆

Mr. Zuckerberg was amenable. He signaled to Mr. Miller and his colleagues, including other senior Trump advisers, that he would do nothing to obstruct the Trump agenda, according to three people with knowledge of the meeting, who asked for anonymity to discuss a private conversation. Mr. Zuckerberg said he would instead focus solely on building tech products. Mr. Zuckerberg blamed his former chief operating officer, Sheryl Sandberg, for Facebook’s culture, according to one of the people with knowledge of the meeting. He said new guidelines and a series of layoffs amounted to a reset and that more changes were coming.

It really is such masculine energy to blame things on a woman who no longer works at the company www.nytimes.com/2025/01/16/u...

Republicans Keep Insisting Civil Rights Laws Are Unconstitutional Because Racism Is Over In a new Voting Rights Act challenge, Louisiana argues that the landmark civil rights law is too old and outdated to be legal anymore.

either Section 2 of the 15th Amendment exists or it doesn't and if it exists then there's simply no basis for the idea that the Voting Rights Act is in anyway unconstitutional.

In January 20, 1961, the temperature at noon was 22 degrees and 8 inches of snow had fallen in the morning.

John F. Kennedy still had his inauguration on the steps of the Capitol.

I like @governorwalz.mn.gov’s version better.

If you have ever answered, “I know, but it’s cute/cool/pretty” when you were told an image you shared was Ai, perhaps you don’t need to be so concerned about whether Meta is fact-checking or not.

They never, ever worked to start with.

These confirmation hearings are just theater.

Do you honestly think Republicans, the party that thinks toxic imbecile Donald Trump is qualified to be president, is going to find *any* white person unqualified for *anything*?

When did blame supersede aid and compassion in America?
