And I’m proud to be an American where at least I know I’m বিনামূল্যে.

I think one of the things that makes me the most Unhinged is that the government is dragging people from their homes in the middle of the night, ramming people with their cars and shooting them for fun, and everyone is just doing the same discourses we always have

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

@realDonaldTrump on Truth Social: THE TRAITORS THAT TOLD THE MILITARY TO DISOBEY MY ORDERS SHOULD BE IN JAIL RIGHT NOW, NOT ROAMING THE FAKE NEWS NETWORKS TRYING TO EXPLAIN THAT WHAT THEY SAID WAS OK. IT WASN’T, AND NEVER WILL BE! IT WAS SEDITION AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL, AND SEDITION IS A MAJOR CRIME. THERE CAN BE NO OTHER INTERPRETATION OF WHAT THEY SAID!

I'm surprised betting markets haven't begun accepting wagers on which U.S. military unit ultimately detains and arrests Trump and his coterie of advisors.

It's great that Fox News does this. It adds to the shock when media-bubbled fascists enter blue cities as liberators, then get swarmed and run out.

All this shows is that the US has no idea what it’s doing and it’s being played by Moscow. Complete humiliation.

Scoop: Democrat requests police investigation into Trump over "threatening" posts "All of these posts are intimidating, threatening, and concerning," Rep. Jason Crow's office wrote.

Rep. Jason Crow's office is seeking a Capitol Police investigation into Trump for what they described as "intimidating, threatening, and concerning" social media posts.

It's highly unusual for a member of Congress to request a police investigation into a sitting president of the United States.

It's like Mamdani pushed his shopping cart up and down the aisles of Trump's mind and loaded up on stuff to bring back to his city. Protecting his city from ICE even before he takes office is huge (I mean, obviously Trump is a man of his word salad, but it was worth a try; see link below).

How AP News whitewashes genocide.

TESTING THE CEASEFIRE??

Israel is *BREAKING* the ceasefire. Do you really think this would be the headline if Hamas killed 24 Israelis?

AP doesn’t even have the integrity to say Israel killed Palestinians. “Are dead” is passive to avoid attributing liability.

Not only is the U.S. military too small to occupy California, New York, Illinois, Colorado, etc., but it's hard to deploy the military when you can't pay them after the Treasury runs dry.

New Jersey may stop paying federal taxes under new governor Gov.-elect Mikie Sherrill said on a podcast with Jon Stewart it's a "great idea."

Soft secession is certainly one way out of this if Democratic governors unite.

““If they’re not gonna run the programs, then what are we paying them for?” she said. “It’s like, you know, you’re paying us for a service and they’re not delivering. So let’s stop paying for it.”

Dipshit is smashing out a car window with his gun, barrel first. Just rogue, cowboy stiff.

There were two US citizens in the car. They were apprehended and detained for “obstructing” ICE by honking their horn to let people know ICE was in the neighborhood.

When we take our government and country back from the fascists, every single one of these thugs must answer, in court, for the crimes they are currently committing. Hold them all accountable.

Sarah Hurwitz Profanes the Holocaust Holocaust education has worked too well for the Obama speechwriter, since when she rationalizes Israel's genocide, "I sound obscene." Maybe sit with that, Sarah

I felt like I was losing my mind watching this person's remarks and had to write about how disgusting they are.

I've gotten in professional/political trouble many times over the years for writing far less incendiary stuff. People literally do not care what anyone says about ICE today because everyone hates them.

As a rep on the Dallas Police Oversight Board, I've said on camera two separate times that ICE is a menace to our community and its loathsome agents aren't public servants. No one has batted an eye. Council members, the press, the police department, residents. Everybody shrugs and is like, "yeah."

No, he isn’t. There is literally no legal means by which he can do this. It’s not presidential power. TPS by law cannot be terminated early, and Somali TPS is not set to expire until March 17, 2026.

It's dry and boring, stripped of any emotion, it occasionally emphasizes weird stuff and it leaves out fascinating individual stories in favor of endless battlefield movement descriptions.

Plumb Martin wrote a good memoir, but there are so many quotes and anecdotes from others we don't hear.
