Trump’s order to deploy Texas National Guard troops to Chicago is illegal, immoral, and must be stopped by the courts. ICE is already wreaking havoc in our communities. Let’s call this what it is: an invasion by out-of-state troops coming here only with the purpose of tormenting Chicagoans.

I refuse to let hopelessness prevail. This may just be one essay, by a lawyer few have heard of, in a newsletter read by a fraction of the public. But I will not stay silent.

Words & Phrases We Could Do Without ‘Armed Conflict’? Trump declares war on all of us

We face an open open question as to whether the president, anywhere, anytime he pleases, can execute or round up people he says are terrorists—without due process. That we are even entertaining such a discussion tells you how far Trump has damaged democracy open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

Mockler: I will only vote for the Democratic candidate that replaces Trump’s portraits with photos of him and Epstein.

Dems should be clear that post 2026 election any political prosecutions ordered by Trump will be investigated, line prosecutors called to testify, and if warranted, impeachment of AG and any other senior DOJ involved. There have to be consequences.

Is this supposed to be a threat? They did this exact thing while the government was open

This is the fishiest shit I've ever seen. We're supposed to believe the shooter wrote "Anti-ICE" in pen on a bullet and then shot detainees but not ICE officers?

🧵Indivisible Memphis Condemns National Guard Deployment in Memphis

Today, Indivisible Memphis unequivocally condemns the deployment of the National Guard to our city. This action is not about safety - it is a targeted attack on Memphis’ majority-minority community.

🪡Governor Bill Lee, Senator Marsha Blackburn, Rep. David Kustoff, and Sen. Brent Taylor have chosen fear-mongering and authoritarianism over real solutions. They voted to gut healthcare and food security from Memphians. Sending troops will not fix the failures they created.

but wait, Dear Leader was an FBI informant? that’s the story Holy Mike’s going with? fact check: “I have rep’d FBI informants, as well as agents. This is real easy to prove because Trump’s name would be in 302 and other reports. There are document policies that apply to informants.” ‘Donny’s an informant’ was such a dumbfuck thing for Holy Mike to blurt out — because one common way to become an FBI informant is to get caught doing a crime, and then agree to rat on your accomplices in return for leniency. so is that what you’re saying, Mike? that Donny was guilty of the same sick shit his dead pedo bestie was getting up to, and he got caught? also: come on — if Donny were an FBI informant, don’t you think he’d have bragged about it by now? of course he would have. Donny can’t shut the fuck up about anything. he would have spent the last two decades yammering about how he knows more about FBI informing than all the FBI informerators.

HOLY MIKE JOHNSON (CREEPY GOD-OBSESSED WEIRDO!) THINKS WE'RE ALL DUMB ENOUGH TO BUY HIS STUPID STORY ABOUT DONALD TRUMP RATTING OUT HIS DEAD PEDO BESTIE TO THE FBI. COME ON MIKE, WE'RE NOT AS DUMB (OR AS CREEPY) AS YOU ARE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO MY POST ABOUT IT: bit.ly/4p9axZH

We could have had cancer vaccines, and instead the United States will contribute nothing whatsoever to mRNA research, condemning millions of people worldwide to unnecessary illness and death

Well no, it's a vague, non-binding, unwritten non-statement about companies' future investment plans, not cash for him to personally control. But enjoy your weird demented fantasy, I guess.

That Kamala interview was heart breaking because it's one of the few times that I've ever seen a national political figure say the system is broken and that trying to work within it to change things probably wont work.

EXCLUSIVE: Someone Waived Ghislaine Maxwell's Sex Offender Status to Move Her to a Minimum Security Camp in Texas According to sources, you can't move someone with a Public Safety Factor (PSF) designation - which Maxwell had - without waiving it. That's what happened here.

I was raised by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. This is terribly tragic.

True story bro.

Everyone should say it:

The thing about Stephen Miller is not that he is the brains behind Trumpism.

Yes, he is one of the people who conceptualizes the impulses of the Trumpist movement and translates them into policy.

But that's not what's interesting about Miller.

It's not brains. It's bile.

Newsom responds to Homan statement on possibly arresting him: He's a tough guy. Why doesn't he do that? He knows where to find me. Lay your hands off four year old girls that are trying to get educated. Come and arrest me. Let’s just get it over with tough guy. I don’t give a damn

He has been atrocious. Why is he still in this job?

Warner Bros. Discovery Shareholders Vote Against CEO David Zaslav’s $52 Million Pay Package in a Symbolic Rebuke Warner Bros. Discovery shareholders voted against the 2024 pay packages of CEO David Zaslav and other top execs in a symbolic rebuke.

Good for Warner Bros. Discovery shareholders. My point of reference is from following @cnn.com, and if what he’s done there is any way representative of his talents, I would say that my Corgis could do a better job.

Cuts have consequences, illustrated. As seen on TV 📺

I have been sick for a week and I just read about "something going around" in a subreddit, which I guess is how I get my information now that the CDC is officially spending the next four years determining when and how microscopes became gay.

No kings, masters, overlords or any of that bullshit. Time to take the country back.

When do we start winning?

Beyond parody.

Phang: If you have to resort to deceit to get something done, that tells me what you’re doing is wrong.

What’s happening is a dup-and-scoop: people are being duped into going to court, their cases get dismissed, and then they’re scooped up by ICE and deported under expedited removal.
