The amount of money and influence spent to prevent progress in this country is staggering.

Same here, but we don’t have that luxury. This Celtics fan greatly appreciates the way you use your platform.

Take two minutes and watch this. Please.

Right now from the far left to center right the only divisions I care about are: Team fight vs Team don’t fight. Opposition vs politics as usual.

and it’s not a division that maps to precious ideological categories.

Really need everyone to take a good look at how well the richest people in America have done in the last year.

The rest of us got higher healthcare and electric bills, food assistance cuts, price hikes, and ICE terrorizing our communities.

What are we doing here?

Call me whatever you want, but it sure seems like a cabal of billionaire pedophile Nazis seized control of a global superpower…and now they’re murdering Americans in the street, arresting journalists, and setting up a network of concentration camps across the United States.

I think what both the second Trump administration and the Epstein files have taught us is that there’s very little need of covertness or secrecy if everyone with power pretends you aren’t doing what you’re doing when you openly tell them what you’re doing

Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.

Finally, someone gets it.

there is no hell hot enough

I don’t think we should make concessions to the Masked Murderers Guild of America. I don’t think we should compromise so the Masked Murderers Guild of America stops using kidnapped kids from schools as bait. I thought this was already illegal. The Masked Murderers Guild of America should not exist.

Trump Holds 2-Hour Meeting With Noem Amid Backlash to Minneapolis Shooting

Stephen Miller wasn't in the meeting, but the comms team was. This tells you this isn't a policy shift, it was just a meeting to figure out how to sell the bullshit better. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/26/us/noem-trump-meeting-minneapolis-ice.html

In all seriousness, how can it be that the official now in charge in Minnesota was caught by the FBI on video taking $50,000 to steer government business, and walking out with the money, which we still haven't seen. How is he still working in Administration, not to mention not behind bars?

If only this were satire.

Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him.

“When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

Exactly right.

this message to minneapolis from comedian zach woods is profane and also wonderful

jaderemedy • 4h ago And now comes the most nauseating part of this whole goddamn mess: the hypocrisy. The same loud-mouthed idiots who spent years screaming about tyranny are suddenly dead fucking silent, or worse, cheering, now that it's their side doing it. "ThEy'Re cOminG fOr OuR gUnS!" "GoVerNMenT oVerReAch!" "ShAll nOt bE inFrinGeD!" All that chest-thumping bullshit evaporated the second armed federal agents started terrorizing people they don't like. Let me get this straight: a civilian gets shot dead by federal agents, and the only thing you brainless cunts can muster is "well, DHS says he had a gun"? THAT'S your red line? Guns are sacred when they're strapped to your waist, but magically become a death sentence when they're used as a post-hoc excuse by the government? Either the Second Amendment applies to everyone, or you never believed in it at all. Fucking pick one and own it. This is exactly what tyranny looks like, by the way. Not jackboots marching in formation, but armed agents roaming neighborhoods, stopping people, killing civilians, and then daring the public to question it. Tyranny is execution followed by a press release. Tyranny is labeling the dead a "threat" so the state doesn't have to explain why someone's life just ended in the street. Tyranny is demanding obedience while shredding due process and calling it order. And all you so-called "freedom lovers" are fucking fine with it, as long as it's brown people, immigrants, protesters, or anyone you've already dehumanized. Turns out "don't tread on me" actually meant "tread on them." You weren't afraid of tyranny. You were afraid of losing dominance. There's a difference, and this moment exposes it completely. "Just comply" isn't a principle. It's cowardice dressed up as common sense. It's the language of people who have already accepted that the state gets to decide who deserves rights and who doesn't. And once you make that deal, don't act shocked when the line moves, because it always fuckin…

Absolute banger of a comment on r/military:

Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.

Why is it so hard for so many Democrats to say this?

“don’t give them an excuse, they’re waiting for a reason to invoke martial law” too often sounds like “dont make too much trouble or they’ll do to the rest of us what they’re currently doing to brown folks”

Funny how the Fourth Amendment keeps getting treated like a suggestion box.

Grouping these guys together is unfair to Mitchell. That guy is a warrior and a winner. Does he need to be the No. 2 guy to win a title? Maybe. But they used to say that about Jayson Tatum. Build the right team around him, and it works. Trae & LaMelo are losing players. Talented but flawed.

I agree with Never Trumpers on a lot, but split hard on this: I do not think the Democratic Party needs to convince swing voters that Democratic candidates aren't too liberal. I think the party needs to convince swing voters that they themselves are actually quite liberal. They just won't admit it.

What a depressing summary.

We're gonna need a truth and reconciliation commission and Nuremberg style trials to reckon with all of this evil, and any Dem candidate for office who shies away from a full reckoning in the name of "moving forward as a nation" can get well and truly fucked

This is incredibly accurate😬

A “Maga Years” explainer…

The attorney general and the FBI director, a manosphere podcaster bro, pulled into the situation room a member of Congress best known for getting kicked out of a Beetlejuice musical for drunkenly giving her date a handy, in order to pressure her about the president's child sex trafficking scandal.

The credulous way people keep accepting he's paying for the ballroom with private funds blows my mind. Are you kidding me? Eventually we'll see he's using our money. And he'll keep the $230 million shakedown. He will die or leave office (sure) having stolen billions from us.

Your parenthetical is my biggest complaint. As a Celtics fan, I feel like the media participation from those on the beat and around the team is lacking here, which seems strange. This site trends young and male (NBA-friendly), NBA fans lean left (I think), and the team is in a solidly blue state.
