Trump: "I'm not happy with Israel...We basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don't know what the fuck they're doing."

Lander and Padilla have set the standard that absolutely every Democratic politician should meet or exceed if they don't want to get primaried.

Okay. The world can see this. Why it so hard for 30% of Americans to continue holding out hope a leopard will change it's spots?

I am watching Sen. Alex Padilla talk on the Senate floor about being assaulted last week, as I watch New York City controller Brad Lander get assaulted at immigration court. In between reports on the two MN Democrats shot, one murdered, last weekend. But both sides, people, both sides.

Brad Lander Detained by Masked Federal Agents Inside Immigration Court The arrest came in his latest visit to the courthouse to speak with migrants there.

"A reporter from @thecity.nyc had overheard one agent say to another minutes before Lander’s arrest, 'Do you want to arrest the Comptroller?'"

Re: Lander being detained by ICE, it’s important also to understand that Lander is, while I wouldn’t say “abolitionist,” extremely anti-carceral and a strong proponent of changes to the carceral system and alternatives to incarceration. He’s probably the most powerful person in NYC with those views.

Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani is now here calling for the release of Lander (his fellow mayoral candidate)

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds.

He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings.

He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights.

This is political intimidation.

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered.

Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again.

Their inaction is deadly.

If ICE is arresting a US citizen that is a comptroller and a mayoral candidate, imagine what they are doing to regular people. Fuck ICE!

So, like, it's really clear that the GOP is trying to isolate us from the rest of the world like an abusive stepdad.

Carney: "The old relationship we had with the United States based on deepening integration of our economies and tight security and military cooperation is over."

"The urgent necessity of this moment is perfectly clear. Trump’s ability to operate, act, move and wreck must be constrained by the American people through peaceful protest, economic boycotts, strikes, civil disobedience, and ultimately, electoral repudiation" --------Steve Schmidt

thinking of one of abraham lincoln's great quotes this morning:

"As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master. This expresses my idea of democracy. Whatever differs from this, to the extent of the difference, is no democracy."

Dear American citizens, whatever you wish more German citizens would have done in 1933, do that now.

If you haven't figured it out, Trump is seeking an arctic partnership with Russia, in order for Russia to declare total control of the region and its resources, Canada, Greenland, and Nordic Europe (all in NATO) need to be taken out. Trump's invasion threats make more sense if you piece it together.

The image is a screenshot of a post on X by a user named Pete Buttigieg (@PeteButtigieg ). The post reads: "Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously. Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that."

Keep the Congressional switchboard number handy these days: (202) 224-3121

This is what he wanted 😅

As bad as the Houthi PC Group Chat is, and as bad as the DOGE stories leaking by the minute are...what's happening under the radar is so, so much worse.

I mean very obviously Hegseth should resign, and if it were a Democratic administration this would be quickly be a consensus position.

Tulsi Gabbard is giving me Cruella de Vil vibes

Frank Constanza in the back of a car with both arms raised shouting. The text says “Severance now!”

Me, every Friday evening.

I want to remind all queer people we have been through much worse and we overcame it! It seems hopeless right now but we must have hope. We must have each other. It’s going to be ok.
