A thought I never expected to have: House of Windsor currently beating the US government on transparency and accountability.

“some people abuse SNAP” your soul is rotten

I'm so sorry to beloved American artist, Prince, who does not deserve this

Yes. All the empirics on misinformation indicate that the way to defeat bad ideas is to mock and marginalize them. Constantly declaring "hey the far right isn't so bad" is a terrible strategy both morally and electorally.

Dems should be way more comfortable saying "look at these fucking psychos"

We've gotten so many of these pieces where a liberal engages in a good-faith effort to understand Trump voters. Every time, they discover that there's no deeper sympathetic reason they hold their views. They're just misinformed and hateful. My own efforts have found this too.

a plainclothes federal agent walked into a brighton park barber shop pretending to be a customer this morning.

the agent came back half an hour later with two other feds and abducted someone, then threatened to arrest anyone else who stepped in.

"X shouldn't be political." OK but it is. Now what?

“we will rule you forever with an iron fist of suffering” is maybe not the most compelling message any administration has ever had

just cannot say enough how much people should not care about this and should continue to publicly demonstrate contempt for the idea that saying mean things about the president is treason

I was right about her 10 years ago.

DHS still can’t or won’t say what they did with the two U.S. citizens they detained on 9/30 and called CPD to request a vehicle for.

They first sent a statement about the South Shore raid—an entirely different incident—and when I asked again they sent this deeply unserious response.

(nazi) German engineering is when you have 6 different procurement chains for the same platform because everyone needs a kickback so no one can actually get an economy of scale going while you're getting the shit bombed out of you

Souvannarath is likely a citizen, ICE kidnapped him, he filed habeas, a judge ordered he not be deported, and *the next day* DHS deported him.

DHS told the press they didn't get the order, which is undoubtedly a lie and will be perjury when they say it to the court.

How an ICE shakeup will bring Chicago-level terror to Philly | Will Bunch The brutal arrest tactics and stepped-up immigration raids that have roiled Chicago are coming to Philly after an ICE shakeup.

A big shakeup at ICE isn't reshuffling the deck chairs on the U-Boat. More "Kavanaugh Stops," more violent arrests, and more tear gas chaos is coming very soon to Philly and a slew of other big cities

The terror we see in Chicago is going national. My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/ice-...

Republicans weaponizing hunger: Trump refuses to use billions of dollars in the SNAP contingency fund, Senate Republicans block a bill to fund SNAP & WIC, and the House can’t even pass a bill to fund SNAP because it’s Day 41 of Speaker Johnson keeping us out of voting session. #GOPShutdown

To be a Republican is to be a traitor to this country.

Yeah cause they're a bunch of fucking confederates who wish Lee had gotten the chance.

IMO democracy becomes impossible in the absence of any social or political norms against lying.

This is fucking obscene. This is an explicitly evil thing to do and it would make the world a worse place. This is flat out unacceptable and must not be allowed.

That's ~1/8th of what the subway system does on any given weekday.

Mainstream pundits repeatedly scolded Dems, telling their viewers and readers that the polling would turn and Dems would get blamed. Didn't happen. The pundits are living in an alternate reality mediated by Twitter and have lost touch with reality.

Notable that the people carrying Trumpism don't act like they believe they're carrying out the will of the public, they act like dictators terrified of a spontaneous uprising so swift and massive it overwhelms their protective services before assistance can arrive.

Known puppy killer Kristi Noem can't promise she won't tear gas trick or treating kids, which is wild because that's something any human being with any sense of morality could figure out within nanoseconds.

The degree of callousness and cruelty to be able to leave a toddler in a car is frightening.

Call me crazy but I really just don't think a president should be able to veto Congressional judgments that he's abusing his powers

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

This is a flat-out lie. ProPublica even ran a major piece two weeks ago on the 170+ American citizens held by immigration agents since January.

Worse than a lie, Noem is deliberately undermining trust in journalists that don't tow the Trump party line.
