had never before considered that the inflatable costumes offer pepper ball protection

This is the lesson of 2025

Live look of everyone who made free speech their pet issue over the last decade:

"We took the freedom of speech away," says the president

Everyone can set aside partisanship, psychologizing, pathologizing, whatever, and—I would hope—still see that it’s incredibly dangerous for a political leader to be this disconnected from the real conditions in the country.

You cannot force a cultural zeitgeist shift and Republicans are getting increasingly angry at that fact

All this admin knows how to do is double down and make more content. It's literally falling apart in front of them and so they just buckle down and poast harder.

Just openly cheering the destruction of any representation of gay people in public space. They think their power is totally unrestricted, and the entire country will support them rolling back society to the 1950s, or maybe the 1850s

Let me emphasize once again that if you’re inclined toward “no deal is possible with these guys” then trying to make a reasonable deal and getting this reaction demonstrates that far better than just asserting it and refusing to try would have.

The situation in America is not great. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

"There’s even one skip — because to Taylor, it’s conceptually crucial for every flawless pop statement to have one bloodcurdling gaffe in there somewhere."

This has to be satire right?

we gotta stop using “democratic run” or “blue cities” and start saying donald trump is invading “american cities”

There is no budget "deal" to be made President Trump has so broken the constitutional framework as to make joint normal, responsible government impossible.

If appropriations bills are not seen as enforceable contracts, why should any Member of Congress vote to fund any part of the federal government under Donald Trump? You're voting to provide money for lawlessness. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/there-is-n...

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

this is literally stuff King Charles did, like not only did the American colonists have a revolution to not have this happen, but they did so in the wake of the English revolution, which was about not having stuff like this happen

Supreme Court: of course states can regulate, and restrict access to, medical procedures if there’s a compelling public interest

Colorado: (bans conversion therapy for minors)

Supreme Court: no not like that, we only meant abortion

will never get over the Washington Post Editorial Board recommending confirming Pam Bondi

I know we’re going in circles but it is abundantly clear that they have literally no idea, let alone a plan, to fix their own mess.

Nobody is at the wheel, it is the first social media AI presidency and they drove themselves into a blind alley.

Claim: 10 cars rammed ICE
Truth: No cars rammed ICE

Claim: She boxed ICE in
Truth: ICE boxed her in

Claim: She shot a rifle at ICE
Truth: She did not have a rifle

Claim: ICE returned fire
Truth: Only ICE fired

Claim: She drove herself to the hospital
Truth: Paramedics found her

Work requirements are going to cost a ton to implement, at a time when states will have less administrative resources, and despite evidence that they don't work

They literally just fought a Supreme Court case for the right to racially profile. It was in the news!

I've been saying this for months. I remember the entire Obama era was marked with concerns about martial law and federal overreach by conservatives, and now they're just speed running the point to get to martial law.

Jesus. You think it can’t get any worse, then you read these stories. US citizens and legal residents illegally arrested and held for days. **Native Americans** getting detained and held for days because ICE agents are too stupid/racist to know about tribal IDs.

Jesus Christ. DHS has held this guy in the hospital handcuffed to a bed and under constant guard for over a MONTH without ANY warrant or even ANY steps taken towards putting him into the removal system!

There are lots of more glaring and physically brutal basic violations of rights going on but it’s weird how ICE just seems to be freely stealing and wrecking people’s possessions too

I like how this thread makes it clear that none of what the Trump admin is doing with ICE and federal troops is actually about safety.

Tell me again how Democrats are going to take the blame for layoffs when every Republican is saying 'WE WILL FIRE YOU ALL AND LAUGH'

yeah this is the kind of shit that will turn the tide of public opinion
