When people are hired, not for their honesty or competency, but for their ability to be snarling trolls on TV for the delight of their immature and unpleasant boss, you get an AG like Pamela Jo Bondi.

USA is now an authoritarian state. We can rectify this only by massive general protests across the country. However, the spotty protests against ICE are a muted response against the dictator. Sadly, the people have spoken.

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.

Yeah cool. Pull even more federal agents off counterterrorism, child porn, sex trafficking, drug trafficking, and fraud investigations to do absolutely nothing.

Whoa! The shutdown’s ripple effect starting to hit.

Burbank Airport in LA County has no air traffic controllers on duty due to sick calls, last-minute day-off requests, and staffing shortages.

If you’re flying anywhere in the country, check for delays.

John Oliver: "If ICE can bother some guys at a roofing job, bystanders can bother ICE at their state-sanctioned kidnapping job."

I hate to say this, but if the choices are to break the rules and save democracy vs follow the rules and live under authoritarian rule (because they broke all the rules), I say break some rules. People's lives are in jeopardy! 🤷‍♀️

Should Democrats disregard rules as Republicans do?

There’s just not enough attention being paid to how unqualified, psychologically unfit, and dangerous so many of these new ICE hires potentially are.

If we had a Congress, there’d be investigations & oversight into this.

The reason we should speak out is not to convince anyone. MAGA is impervious to facts or logic. No, the reason we should speak out is to show others that they too can speak out. With our courage, we can encourage our friends and allies. We can support each other.

If you are silent, you are complicit. And obedient.

He's totally going to pardon Ghislaine Maxwell by the way.

We can’t out-Republican Republicans, nor should we want to.

Democrats need to say what they believe — and actually believe in something.

We are just following the "correlation" between brown skin and the people we hate.

I want you to doubt my evidence, so you will look it up. The evidence is in your Bible. All I did was to reconstruct the order of the texts, which revealed the story. The story will shock you. The meaning of the story will shock you more.

We should remain peaceful. However, one of these days someone will return fire.

There will be trials.

Can Miller really believe this? If so, he is delusional. If not, then he’s a reprehensible demagogue.

Most food on a farmer's table is from a supermarket, and that food passes through a "blue" city. Just food for thought. Since we will have civil war, let's do it right.

We must have trials for the fascist kidnappers. These groups of agents are not acting under the Constitution nor the laws. They are not law enforcers but law breakers. As such, they are just thugs kidnapping people. Treat them as such!

Image of an X post from @JessicaTarlov showing a screenshot of her on "The Five" on Fox News, with the chyron "DEMS SHOOT DOWN BILL THAT WOULD END GOVT SHUTDOWN" and the time "2:02." The post reads: "Republicans can mock Democrats all they want, but the numbers don’t lie. By a 17 point margin, Americans blame the GOP for the shutdown. And Americans overwhelmingly back extending ACA subsidies—71% in WaPo, 78% in the KFF poll. This has nothing to do with 'healthcare for illegal immigrants,' and Trump knows it."

End the shutdown, GOP. Extend the ACA subsidies. Stop shoving more money at the billionaires.

The Threat That Shakes My Faith The Rise of Christian Nationalism

The rise of Christian nationalism. It’s real, it’s antithetical to America, and it must be confronted.👇 open.substack.com/pub/socialco...

When "The Sound of Music" is shown, I suspect that as each Trump year passes, fewer Americans are cheering during this scene.
