AOC: An agency that is attacking U.S. citizens, kidnapping five-year-olds and using them as bait, and privately circulating the idea that they can violate the rights of Americans by busting down their doors—they deserve to be defunded, and I’ll take any step in that direction.

Federal agents abduct two teenagers (15 & 16) from a doctor's appointment

At one point, it appears an agent tases one of the children

Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."

Marco Rubio: Bible-Humping Backslider in a Brooks Brothers Suit He Traded Conviction for Cowardice, Scripture for Servitude, and Now He Can’t Hide From the Ruins He Helped To Build.

Fuck Marco Rubio.

"Remembering the Christmas Spirit and Saving it From Trump"

MAGA and Donald Trump continue betraying and abusing Jesus and Christianity to further serve the perverse agenda of the right-wing, whose true God is wealth, power and white supremacy.

Folks I promised y’all that we’d have a big kickoff. Well today’s the day and it’s no accident that we’re making this happen 8 years to the date of our Senate victory in 2017 when we set the political world on fire. Join us for a livestream starting at 5 pm CT. The link can be found at dougjones.com

Food bank director: “for every meal that a food bank provides, the SNAP program provides nine. There’s no way we can meet that gap.”

Trump has done many many many many many things that are worse than this, but I bet this is one of the things that turns people.

To quote @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social, I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win

In a less insane time, if it was discovered that the President of the United States said this privately to their AG, it would’ve triggered an all-encompassing, impeachable corruption scandal.

Here, Trump is saying it publicly and it’s just another Saturday.

Vaccine method vilified by health officials is in clinical trials all over SC, including shots for cancer It was the breakthrough vaccine technology that allowed for the rapid release of COVID-19 vaccines. But as top health officials vilify mRNA use, SC testing goes on in cancer and viruses.

As the US backs away from supporting these cancer trials China will be stepping in and advancing these technologies without us. RFK and trump are going to allow us to die when many could have been saved. 🫤

A picture of the National Mall in DC, with practically no people in sight.

The latest thing Trump has done to DC: Scare the visitors away. Damaging all the businesses, large and small, that depend on them.

Along the National Mall today, 1pm, on a stunningly beautiful Saturday afternoon in late August.

Greenland breathes sigh of relief as it turns out Trump has decided on a military occupation of the United States instead.

AP: Even at the grocery store, Texas troopers don't let Democrats out of sight after walkout

What would you call this if you saw it happening in another country?

I am a proud American. I helped to raise five incredible children to adulthood. They are all amazing humans with compassion and loving hearts. I am a social worker and learned that everyone is not given the same hand in life. I will not be silent and I will do all that I can to help save democracy

VON DER LEYEN: Every single child has to go back to its family. This should be one of our main priorities in these negotiations.
TRUMP: I was just thinking we're here for a different reason but we just a couple weeks ago made the largest trade deal in history. Congratulations. #cdnpoli

Trump to Zelenskyy: "During the war you can't have elections? So let me just see -- three and a half years from me, if we happen to be in a way with somebody, no more elections. That's good."

Just for those who may be a little confused: This is how an American president should treat Putin.

Trump wants voters to believe America is ungovernable, and that the only solution is an authoritarian like him taking over.

The more chaos, lies, and misinformation he spreads, the more likely people are to tune out completely. 

Do not.

The correct news headline for this is not "Trump to Lay Out His Plan for Reducing Crime in Nation’s Capital" (Bloomberg) or "Trump to speak at White House on violent crime in D.C." (CNBC), but rather "President Lies About Crime in DC."

News outlets are obligated to maintain a grip on reality!!

NYT: Trump team deepens purge at FBI, ousting top agents with ties to previous Trump investigations

Make no mistake: the President wants the Bureau to be his secret police.

The purges take us one step closer.

Amen!

Aid Groups Blame Israel’s Gaza Restrictions for ‘Mass Starvation’

The distance between what is in happening Gaza, fully backed with US dollars and political support, and the reaction of American politicians who by and large just don’t seem to care or support it is just completely brain-breaking.

This breathtaking statement by @timmiller.bsky.social encapsulates so much of how I feel, especially now that the transparently stupid cruelty shown toward Andry is becoming widespread, replicable, commonplace, & entrenched.

#FreeAndry

We live in a nation where I am now sending out alerts about what the U.S. attorney general is doing in our name.

It’s a lot to sit with.

It’s going to get a lot darker before it starts getting lighter, but I will keep doing what I do. And, it will get lighter again.
