Let’s make sure Alaska Senator Sullivan is never allowed to walk quietly away from his record of enthusiastic support for Trump, MAGA, DOGE (he was proud of his membership in a Congressional DOGE caucus), his buddy Hegseth, and all the other bits of this trashy, destructive administration.

"It is difficult to comprehend the level of state-sponsored criminality we are witnessing because our country has never experienced anything like it."- #NYDailyNews

(wait'll ya experience the midterms...)

#AccountabilityIsComing ⚖️

Picture via a CNN reporter of a banner with Trump’s face going up on outside of DOJ building

Biden would’ve been instantly impeached in a bipartisan vote if he put his face on the freakin’ Department of Justice building

The Constitution says "No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law." Presidents who violate the Constitution should be impeached and removed from office.

Certainly an “insufferable tool.”

Marshall said of World War II "I doubt there was any one thing, except the shortage of LSTs, that came to our minds more frequently than the political factors."

On April 12, Hungary will hold parliamentary elections.
The hope is that Peter Magyar's Tisza will defeat Viktor Orban's Fidesz.
Orban opposes the EU & Ukraine, democracy, rule of law & media freedom, while supporting Putin & Trump. /1

The Trumpists like to present themselves as defenders of the West.

There is one country fighting against brutality and barbarism, and in defense of everything we cherish about the West: Ukraine.

The Trumpists are hostile to Ukraine.

The Trumpists are betrayers of the West.

We bought Article II of the United Nations Charter with the blood of a hundred million human beings, and less than a century later, it's being sold for nothing by people who don't even understand what they're doing.

Trumpists do not believe that people who disagree with them are entitled to a voice in government.

I realize media doesn’t think it’s a big deal that Trump, Vance & Hegseth continue to give partisan political speeches to troops, evidenced by the fact that they are never asked about it nor are members of Congress, but it is one of the most dangerous things happening right now.

You may laugh, but the Macbeths are a much better role model for a marriage than Romeo and Juliet. They discuss their problems (killing the king of Scotland), share their hobbies (killing the king of Scotland), and resolve their conflicts (by killing the king of Scotland).

Police don’t wear masks. State troopers don’t wear masks. The National Guard doesn’t wear masks. But you know who does?

White supremacists, militia groups, insurrectionists, and ICE.

If ICE and CBP don't want to be called secret police, then don't wear masks. 
 
If they don't want to be accused of kidnapping, then don't drag people out of cars & houses without warrants.
 
And if they don't want to be accused of being lawless, then start following the law.

Jen uses the right term here. "Ethnic cleansing." It is the goal of Trump, Vance, Miller and the entire white Christian nationalist cabal. It is not about immigration. It is about racism.

"The less funding for ICE and Border Patrol, the better," @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social tells @timmiller.bsky.social. "I think that's really where the power is... I'm fine with restrictions, but the restrictions are really less important than the funding."

ICE to begin detaining immigrants inside Social Circle warehouse in April Homeland Security plans to build warehouse detention facilities in other cities being met with opposition.

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps.

If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

MAGA doesn’t like America. They don’t like America as an idea, and they’re don’t like Americans as they are.

It’s only called a concentration camp if it comes from the Auschwitz region of Poland; otherwise it’s a sparkling detention center.

They did it to themselves. They deserve it.

Officials Pressed Schumer to Help Name Penn Station, Dulles for Trump

Illegally withholding billions in transportation infrastructure funding to get shit named after you isn’t just an instantly impeachable offense, it should get you laughed out of public life forever.

Instead it’s just, “Well, at least he isn’t killing people.”

VA Gov. Spanberger (moderate, was in CIA) and NYC Mayor Mamdani (left, is in DSA) both taking steps to block local law enforcement from helping ICE as it violently violates people's rights is a good example of how the relevant divide in the Dem coalition isn't center-left, it's fight-don't fight.

I am not a lawyer but this seems like a nearly complete acknowledgment by the lawyers of the DOJ that the system is collapsing at an alarming rate. They clearly admit that they are unable to follow the Constitution.

Reviewing video from Fulton County elections raid.

Taken aback by the dismissive & sneering attitude from FBI agents toward the cop politely asking to see the warrant.

Looked him up: He's an immigrant w/ a doctorate in philosophy. His thesis? "Force by police officers toward African Americans."

The entire anti wokeness nonsense of the past decade was about making this kind of gutter racism broadly acceptable again bsky.app/profile/adam...

And since Trump announces major policy actions from tariffs to war threats to killing people in the Caribbean, is a staffer posting these globally important policy moves unchecked?

To recap the White House's official position, the racist video was posted erroneously by a staffer and they took it down, but even if it was posted on purpose, the outrage would have been fake because the post was fine and inspired by the Lion King

So, first of all, of course it was Trump.

But even if they were telling the truth, "We give staffers who post videos of the Obamas as apes access to the agenda-setting, decree-sending, market-moving account of the president of the United States" is not the exculpatory statement they think it is.

Golly gee, oh well. They got me again. What can I do about?
