As much as I wish what she said were true, it is not.

As much as I wish what she said were true, it is not.

Not gullibility, not exactly. Nor personal agreement.

A deep psychological need and professional incentive for normality, with both sides equal, where we share basic values but disagree about how.

Because if it really is this bad, good people would be biased against it, not neutral and “balanced.”

The Dem politicians are surrendering at every step. They have more power than they are willing to wield. It’s not the people being doomerish, it’s the politicians themselves.

Identified: the El Paso BORTAC crew rampaging through the Midwest One violent duo in particular, U.S. Border Patrol agents Michael Sveum (EZ-2) and Edgar Vazquez (EZ-17), have been frequently seen alongside former commander-at-large Greg Bovino terrorizing crowds wi...

NEW: since last year, a pair of "highly trained" feds have been involved in an array of incidents attacking crowds with chemical weapons.

We used public records and open source analysis to identify Edgar Vazquez and Michael Sveum, alongside some other members of their tactical team.

DC is actually being treated thoroughly as occupied territory. Tearing down monuments/media institutions, hostile takeover of its core economic engine and industry, suppression of its local municipal government and security forces

btw, this was in the downtown jail, where the agents all stayed inside

you might have seen that tom homan is allegedly drawing back on about 700 agents; it’s also been known that he made that conditional on capitulation

Vance is actually a counter example to Kant’s claim that there can be no such thing as diabolical evil. For Vance clear wills evil as a universal law.

You need complete dismantling, what do ppl think? You think if you get rid of Noem it'll all be okay? Trump will get another person to take her place and continue what she's been doing. That is nowhere near enough.

Everything DHS said about Chicago & the people who live here is a lie. DHS even continues to defame CBP shooting survivor Marimar Martinez months after it was proven that everything they said about her case was false.

as soon as you become a political correspondent in America they take you into a little room in the White House and hit you on the head with a mallet until you lose the ability to retain long-term memories.

Incredible work here by local Chicago journalists investigating two of the especially violent DHS agents terrorizing people in Chicago & MSP. Using body cam footage, after-action reports, social media videos & much more, @unraveledpress.com tells a jarring and must read story:

Virginia’s New Governor Ends ICE Program. Local Contracts Remain, For Now. - Bolts Abigail Spanberger left the 287(g) program, which empowered state law enforcement to detain immigrants. Will Democrats also bar local police and sheriffs from the program?

NEW: Abigail Spanberger this afternoon ordered that all state agencies leave ICE's 287(g) program.

This means that the state police (and some other agencies) will no longer be empowered to detain and arrest people for ICE.

Big, big move by the governor within weeks of coming into office.

If they run Shapiro or Newsom, it will just relitigate the whole palestinian genocide again, which now around 80% of dems agree is a genocide, and a majority of the country too. There’s very little constituency for the Israel or bust camp

an ex-Republican pastor is one of the central organizers in the anti-ICE effort in Springfield OH www.nytimes.com/2026/02/03/o...

Another way out: Power, force, and far-right rewards for killing The far-right’s celebration of killing and the state’s complicity in it show that violence is one of America’s sustaining forces

“The high-profile killers celebrated by the right-wing sign autographs and get crowdfunded. They actually get paid, but we don’t make them pay nearly enough in return. They walk around safe and unscathed while liberals try to appeal to moral sympathies.”

Jacob Frey: "The continued presence of 2,000 federal agents in a city that only has 600 police officers is still not deescalation"

we can’t save democracy unless we also get rid of these billionaires. One doesn’t even need to be a socialist to recognize this. We’ve been warned about how destabilizing excess wealth is to society since antiquity

they don't have enough guys, and if the response in Minnesota shows anything it is that trying something like this is going to drive a much larger backlash than anything they hope to gain out of it

"oh well I guess we'll just stay home" is not how this is going to go

cool

The Trump regime's plan to rig the 2026 election is becoming clearer:

- Send ICE to polling locations to intimidate voters
- Attempt to federalize the elections and seize control of administration in critical states
- Cast doubt on the results and declare they've won
- If needed, seize ballot boxes

worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

California and New Jersey have set up online portals where residents can report ICE crimes. The states will keep these databases so they or the federal government can conduct prosecutions in the future.

This seems endemic to the act of murdering someone in broad daylight in the middle of a crowded street

These sheriffs are also fascist gestapo filth and need to face the gallows as well.

lizzie johnson @lizziejohnsonnn · 49m I was just laid off by The Washington Post in the middle of a warzone. I have no words. I'm devastated. Quote lizzie johnson @lizziejohnsonnn · Jan 25 Waking up without power, heat, or running water. (Again.) But the work here in Kyiv continues. Warming up in the car, writing in pencil — pen ink freezes — by headlamp.

INBOX: Washington Post Ukraine Correspondent Lizzie Johnson announces that she has been laid off in the middle of a below-freezing war zone without power, heat, or running water.

Congratulations to the six!

But also this really underlines the danger of long running periods of the UK govt imprisoning activists on remand while they sow malicious narratives about them in the media. Thank goodness they were all acquitted.
