The World Cup and the Olympics should cancel. America is not safe, not welcoming, not a democracy.

Personal freedoms The personal freedoms accorded throughout the Constitution and its many amendments are an essential protection against government tyranny and reflect the inherent rights of every person in the United States. These include, -Freedom of expression. Democracy depends on freedom of speech and the press. The government has no right to intimidate or punish anyone simply on the basis of their views and ideas.  -Criminal justice. Those suspected and accused of crimes are protected by many provisions of the Bill of Rights, including those limiting police searches and arrests, ensuring the privilege against self-incrimination, and providing for fair trials.  These rights are imperative to protect individual freedom and prevent abuses by the government. -Personal autonomy. Our society respects fundamental aspects of autonomy, including the liberty to make important decisions about one’s life. the Constitution, and its chief safeguard of our liberty, is avoiding the concentration of power by separating and placing limits upon the legislative, executive, and judicial powers of government among three branches that check, balance, and respect each other’s power.   -Responsibility of each branch of government: Congress alone possesses the legislative power, which is limited to that authority enumerated in the Constitution. The President is not a King; his power must come from the Constitution or a statute passed by Congress and may not be applied to violate the constitutional rights of others. And it is “emphatically the province and duty of the judicial department to say what the law is.” -National defense: The federal government must provide for the common defense, which today means protecting the United States, supporting our allies overseas, and preventing foreign interference from disrupting our political system. But whether the federal government is protecting national security or fulfilling its domestic responsibilities, it must adhere to the limits of i…

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Mr. Fetterman, it's really this simple: you're receiving $174,000 a year for a position to which you were elected after asking people to trust that you'd be an unwavering champion for working class families.

I don't give a fuck that you missed your beach trip. Stop whining and get back to work.

No talk of lawsuits. I’m shocked.

Here’s the thing, if they are picking up folks working in the country illegally, I’m going to need to see some white guys also being arrested for employing people working illegally in the country.

Otherwise, it’s just racism.

Treating a new Covid strain like a crime and not a public health issue is deranged.

This is the most professional instructive and empowering fuck you I’ve seen. And I’m all in.

We are way past impeachment time

Breaking News: Canadian officials are being hampered by their search for things to tariff in Red states. "After you put tariffs on booze, what can you do with a place whose main products are incest, domestic violence, and addiction?" said one official.

How to Think (and Act) Like a Dissident Movement AOC, solidarity, and people power.

This piece from @jvl.bsky.social is one of the most important insightful I have read since January 20th 2025.

So who decides now if someone is a gang member or if someone has a valid asylum claim under the law? Tom Homan? A random ICE agent? A local Sheriff’s deputy? A neighbor? An informant? So they just say a person is in a gang and they get disappeared to a prison in El Salvador?

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.

We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.

They own what happens next.

“Let’s put our morals above our manners.”
Yes, yes.

I was expecting al green to be thrown out, sure, and then other people to have stood up with him, and one by one they all get thrown out like Spartacus. They make them be removed. I was expecting that because movies have made me expect courage, solidarity, and honor

Complete batshit lunacy on the president's Truth Social account. Yes, he really posted this.

My monthly car insurance just jumped from $278 to $410. One claim and one traffic violation in ten years.

If I were a Democrat, and I saw Trump do a purge of high-level generals who were women and people of color and wouldn't be "yes men," I wouldn't vote to advance JD Vance's college friend for Secretary of the Army.

And yet....16 Democrats just did so

New MSNBC Bloodbath of Non-White Anchors After Joy Reid Forced Out Jonathan Capehart, Katie Phang, and Ayman Mohyeldin have all lost their shows.

Plus Joy and Lester Holt? Looks like the slide deck of a Power Point presentation at an employment discrimination webinar. Not a good look @msnbc.com
Not a good look at all.
A betrayal of your loyal audience & a disaster for your network.

Do this. Say this. 👇🏻

Days in office: 30. Days spent golfing: 9. Time spent golfing: 30%.

Another day (not) at the office.

American planes are crashing almost every day and the Secretary of Transportation is visiting the Daytona 500 and tweeting at Pete Buttigieg.

Military fighter jet crashes into San Diego Bay off Point Loma coast An ABC 10News crew was at the scene reporting on another story when they saw what appeared to be a military aircraft crash into the water.

NEW: A military fighter jet has crashed into San Diego Bay. This is the sixth plane collision and the second military collision since Donald Trump took office.

Tulsi Gabbard has just been confirmed as the Director of National Intelligence. 😫

Twitter/X is a dangerous propaganda site. It's beyond me why anyone is still there. I had deleted all my tweets and locked my account... but deleted it yesterday. Please leave Twitter, everyone.
