This has nothing to do with crime. This is an attempt to crush political dissent.

Never before, in our entire 250 year history, has the military or immigration agents been used like this. It's dystopian, illegal, and it should stop.

What's happening in Chicago is not normal.

The arrest of Alderperson Fuentes is just the latest example of how far Noem and Bovino are willing to go to ignore the rule of law. We must all speak up.

Everything Trump is doing now is a preamble for his regime's real goal: to invoke the Insurrection Act.

I don’t want to unduly alarm you, but you need to be aware of this imminent danger. It’s unfolding very rapidly. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/trumps-plan

We gave 20 billion away to Argentina thanks to this clown.

Focus groups of moderate Independents showed us they wanted everyone to hug it out and work together, so we're going to allow this little bit of crushing economic pain this time. And now we can all go have a drink together before heading home for a long weekend.

Chicago priest Father Michael Pfleger: "The state of emergency is in AMERICA, not Chicago. It's birthed from this president and his admin's reign of terror."

No. Most Americans don't pay any attention to what's actually going on in the world. Then they go vote based on their tribe.

"Man, why do you keep running into my fist?"

This is one of their strategies. "How dare you!" "You're a nasty person..." Make the reporter feel guilty then change the subject.

A sane country would be impeaching and removing Donald Trump tonight

It reminds me of something I heard so much during the Bush years... "why do you hate America?"

Republicans: why do you hate America so much? Why do you spend all your time bashing half of America, taking away healthcare from people, and letting a nut throw tariffs on everything until we're broke?

Shame, shame on the Supreme Court and Republican majority for allowing this to happen. They have abdicated their Constitutional responsibilities.

The orange felon sent troops to Oregon because he’s a vindictive dangerous bully wannabe dictator who is hellbent on revenge as well as doing everything he can to keep the Epstein Files hidden. He should have been sent to prison for life, not given full power.

The difficult part is... virtually all corporations in the US are aligned with the Republican Party. So then you have to decide where to draw the line... just the ones that kiss the ring at the White House? Or all of them enabling this shitshow?

That's because Britain still has an actual free press.

Someone needs to narrate a Civil War style letter from "war-ravaged Portland" with the tune of Ashokan Farewell in the background. 🤔

The image shows an X post by Garry Kasparov (@Kasparov) from 14 hours ago. In the post, he warns that critics, opposition groups, protesters, or anyone targeted may be labeled as extremists, Antifa, or left-wing terrorists. He suggests that laws on extremist speech and actions could be passed, with emergency powers invoked if necessary.

The image is a screenshot of an X post from @BulwarkOnline. The post quotes Stephen Miller saying, "This is the first time in American history that there is an all-of-government effort to dismantle left-wing terrorism, to dismantle Antifa...We are now going to use the entire force of the federal government to uproot these organizations root and branch." The image shows a group of people in a formal setting, likely a government office, with an American flag in the background and a person signing a document at a desk.

Listen to someone who has been through it under Putin.

Because of the immediate assault from all the forces trying to eliminate democracy right now. The oligarchs will never give up trying to control our government, so the old ways of Schumer and the moderate Dems must be abandoned.

And of course, the bellyaching from the right needs to be met with an avalanche of truth. Get ads on TV before even pursuing any reform. The public is easily swayed by oligarch messaging. Counter it with the cold hard facts. Even if the Democrats get back in power, it will be fragile...

But he's a deeply stupid man so...

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

A new, impeachable offense every day! 🎉

This is the perfect encapsulation of Trumpism -- because of its obsession with imagery, the White House crew caused a problem but blamed it on other people, leading to MAGA making threats against the United Nations for their own screw up

"Democrat Party"?

One minor correction. It's okay ONLY if it's a Republican doing it, and only okay to hardcore Republican voters. They would suddenly discover the Constitution if it were a Democrat.

mm, cannachloramorphahol.

Just imagine you've been hypnotized and now believe every single word that comes out of his piehole. That's 30% of the country. It doesn't sound crazy at all to them.
