‘You Are All Terrorists’: Four Months in a Salvadoran Prison

40 men Trump sent to CECOT tell the NYT they were beaten, tortured, and sexually assaulted. The details are worse than you can imagine.

We can’t let them get away with this. Miller and the other architects of this sadism need to go to prison.

I’ve come to believe that we need to gather considerable forces and a campaign to demand the removal of face masks by ICE, Border Patrol, FBI and police.

It is a practice in conflict with the principles of transparency & accountability that are central to the concept of democracy.

It's incredible that we let billionaires bloviate about their policy views without throwing tomatoes at them. We know what they want, they want policies that work for a few dozen people and immiserate the other 300 million. Not interested!

Not ICE. Border Patrol. They’re wearing Border Patrol uniforms with clear Border Patrol patches on them.

There are many videos of ICE officers doing outrageous stuff but a lot of the absolute worst videos are of Border Patrol, who are basically Bovino and Miller’s most aggressive tool right now.

Makes this alum feel sick. I’m a monthly donor. I was proud to be an alum! I was proud that they hadn’t given in! I’m canceling my donation. Very sad.

A Confederacy of Toddlers The Trump administration is a regime of troubled children.

Trump’s voters have become like the members of the administration, delighting in the crassness and obscenity that pours out of the president and his circle whenever they are challenged. But policies suffer and the public is poorly served.

He orders extrajudicial killings. He sent troops into our cities. He terrorizes citizens with ICE raids. He raised taxes without congressional approval. He has ruined American farmers and ranchers. He plans to starve the vulnerable. He demolished our house.

Remove him from office.

1776 to 2025 and FOREVER. NO KINGS

Here’s my handwritten, construction-paper sign

When he said that, it sent a shiver through me because it felt to me that he was confirming he is in fact an antichrist figure.

He’s still stewing over it. HA.
It should be our mission to irritate him as much as possible.

Reminder: We spent YEARS reading thousands and thousands of articles on the Tea Party and how it was a true expression of the American people's will, and it never mounted anything nearly as big as Saturday's No Kings rallies. [1/3]

At least 10 gun industry businesses, including Glock, Smith & Wesson, Remington and Mossberg, secretly handed over names, addresses and other data to lobbyists, who used the details to rally firearm owners to elect pro-gun politicians.

Somehow it's only "demonizing half of the country" when Democrats mildly criticize Trump supporters. This just doesn't count

Shorter Mike Johnson:

Beating up a woman isn’t “really serious.”

I don’t know about you, but the more they talk like this, the more I want to march.

I really believe that huge majorities of Americans don’t want masked soldiers shooting priests in the street. They don’t want naked children ripped out out of their apartments in the middle of the night and handcuffed. We win by making sure these stories get told.

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

Trump in 2011: "If there is a shutdown, I think it would be a tremendously negative mark on the president of the United States. He's the only who has to get people together!"

“.. In what appears to be a copy of Epstein’s itinerary, Musk had a tentative trip to Epstein’s island on Dec. 6, 2014. A note appended to that plan reads, ‘is this still happening?’”

(1/2) One component of Malignant Narcissism is Sadism. People don’t fathom how deeply Trump is driven by it. In normal people, those types of impulses are offset by caring emotion. Trump has none. He is a Black Hole. He enjoys chaos and actually takes glee from others' suffering.

This is the playbook, folks.

If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.

Do not be quiet in this moment.

How about a pat on the head and a cookie too? Good lord, man

Those engaged in "brand protection" are the folks in politics who believe there's a decent chance we'll get through this, but they don't wanna spend any political capital to proactively help because they wanna come out on the other side of this thing stronger than ever, so they stay low-key.

Brian Kilmeade endorses euthanizing homeless people: "Involuntary lethal injection, or something. Just kill them."

Losing my goddamned mind.

We can condemn political violence without valorizing a destructive, hateful bigot.

Oct 12, 2022 - Screen grab of a tweet from Jason Campbell: Still from the Charlie Kirk show Charlie speaking. Underneath the quote from Charlie reads a quote from Charlie’s broadcast that day: “I can’t stand the word empathy, actually. I think empathy is a made up New Age term that does a lot of damage.”

Without comment:

The effort to paint Charlie Kirk as some sort of model for practicing politics and a beloved figure across the spectrum is bizarre.

Just a month ago, South Park was mocking him pretty mercilessly.

Our current NIH director complaining about carrying papers in 2020.

The supreme court just said it's ok for ICE to ask for your papers.
