Probs shouldn't have dismantled the national security apparatus and assigned a third of the FBI to mass deportation.

You sound like an unhinged person if you in plain words describe what’s happening, but the Trump admin demanded Anthropic’s AI be able to kill things for it w/out human approval and also do mass surveillance.

Anthropic said no, and now the admin is trying to destroy the company in retaliation.

F*ck this old man, next SOTU don’t let some influencers talk you out of your seats to stand in cold and dark to build their brands, sit amongst your Democratic Party peers and look this motherf*cker in the eye. YOU are our representatives.

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

The President shit himself on live TV. Melania bombed. The Epstein files are sending shockwaves through the Alt Right. Liam and his dad are back home. A Texas district that was DEEP red for 35 years flipped blue. Pretti's killers have been identified.

Small wins, but you can feel the change coming.

Oh, and TERFs on the other site are having fun trying to grapple with JK Rowling trying to invite Epstein to shit after he was already publicly convicted. (It's honestly so funny)

Getting the impression that ICE is gearing up for a pogrom in Springfield, Ohio, which was ground zero of Vance’s lies about Haitians during the campaign. Haitians lose temporary protected status on February 3rd. Reporters, lawyers, neighbors β€” please get ready.

Gov. Gavin Newsom: β€˜I disagree’ with calls to abolish ICE The 2028 presidential contender came out against calls to dismantle ICE after an agent fatally shot a Minneapolis woman.

What makes Gavin Newsom such a skilled politician is that he stands up to Trump’s bullying with piping hot memes AND is able to agree with Trump about policy

Naming someone is not doxxing. They aren’t undercover. They aren’t intelligence agents overseas. This is outrageous - we are supposed to be a free Republic and these people want an authoritarian police state. Lawsuits should be filed & ranking Dems in Congress should act.

Whether ICE gets yanked from MN next week will tell us who is in charge at the WH. Is it the coward who bellyaches every public slight and folds when he realizes he won't get what he wants? (Trump) Or will it be the smary racist who spits with rage in public and gets cucked in private? (Miller.)

Minneapolis protester as he's being brutalized by feds: "You're gonna have to kill me! You're gonna have to kill me! I've done nothing wrong! My name is Matthew James! I'm a US citizen! You're gonna kill me! Is that what you want?" (You can hear his wife screaming)

AOC: An agency that is attacking U.S. citizens, kidnapping five-year-olds and using them as bait, and privately circulating the idea that they can violate the rights of Americans by busting down their doorsβ€”they deserve to be defunded, and I’ll take any step in that direction.

Anyone out in that, protesting ICE and protecting their neighbors, is infinitely more badass and hardcore than all of Trump’s secret police combined.
