John Cruezot concedes to Amber Givens in Dallas DA Democratic primary upset Despite the incumbent district attorney raising more in contributions than his challenger, Givens was ahead in the unofficial vote tally Wednesday morning.

one stunning down-ballot result in TX last night that folks might’ve missed was the ouster of Dallas’ two-term DA, John Creuzot, by Amber Givens, an embattled former judge who previously clashed w/ the DA in her court

Here we have: 1. An anti suffragist white women who believed that women should not vote or be involved in politics, 2. A Black man who advocated that Black ppl be educated on skills that make them better laborers (Black jobs?) but not push for civil rights, and 3.Charlie Kirk. Makes sense to me.

Paramount right now.

“We want to help our fellow Americans so we’re taking the social safety net away from people who can’t pay for medicine on their own.”

The guy who staged a failed coup last time is building a massive personal militia staffed with lawless thugs. At this point it’s just naïve not to see where this is going.

Meanwhile, in the real world…

Friends. White racists in America have always spoken about Black people in this way. This part is not imported from Germany, it’s homegrown.

Amid Trump crackdown on Chinese students, one US university appears to block them altogether Purdue says no ban on Chinese students exists, but reportedly rescinded dozens of offers after warnings from legislators

I want us to understand this in the context of these same people killed affirmative action using Chinese-American plaintiffs because they said helping Black people was discriminatory against Asian Americans and anti-merit. Once again: it was never about that. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Can't WAIT to see which justices show up to the State of the Union address Tuesday 🍿

Trump has ordered the Treasury to send him $10 billion in cash & $10 billion for a slush fund (on top of the $200 million in cash stolen from Venezuela for another slush fund), on top of $10+ billion gotten from foreign governments in exchange for favors, but do go on about not taking a salary ...

The Feds Targeted Charlotte. Now a Local Democrat Who Helped ICE Faces Voters. - Bolts North Carolina lawmaker Carla Cunningham voted to mandate compliance with ICE, and derided immigrants on the House floor. The Democrat faces an intense March primary.

NEW: When North Carolina's GOP wanted to pass a bill last year to require that local governments comply with ICE, they were one vote down.

A Democratic lawmaker gave that decisive vote—as she has on other GOP bills.

Now, she faces a primary challenge from a progressive activist... in 14 days.

MAHA: Eating a giant steak cooked in butter alongside beef tallow fries and washing it down with coffee spiked with butter

Not MAHA: Clean air, clean water, health insurance, vaccines, disease monitoring, scientific research, food assistance, food safety, bike lanes

I believe someone recently said something about “sending the women to breeding gulags”. Apparently, they exist in the now.

‼️

So the tariff money he brags about is just gonna go to covering the cost of Trump lawsuits against America? Filling his pockets while regular Americans prepare for massive job layoffs?

Madiba please 😂

They are hiding in homes from a paramilitary secret police force that is trying to ship them off to detention centers where others have been murdered. Where is the lie?

So Obama didn’t take your guns and Joe Biden didn’t take your guns but Trump “you can’t have guns. You can’t walk around with guns.” Unless you’re a Trump supporter who carries guns to BLM protests and murders people, of course.

And this should not be taken as an out for Senate Dems to waiver on refusing additional DHS funding. This is not a “one bad apple” scenario.

I am just gonna say it, these guys are completely emasculated by the knowledge that they have been out-organized by a group that is significantly made up of women, and all the bullshit call of duty nonsense is cope for their wounded egos bsky.app/profile/jeet...

A thread of MAGA protesting with guns and not getting murdered for it...

Arizona, November 2020

Yes, Kristi Noem should be impeached. What we're seeing in the news scares me to death.

DHS got $191 billion in the Big Ugly Bill, and she has not come before @democrats-judiciary.house.gov to explain to the American people and Congress how she's using that money.

I’m sorry. Did I miss the part where they called for DHS to remove federal agents from Greater MN as the first step to de-escalation? Cuz without that this is embarrassingly weak but on brand for every company listed.

Walz: "It's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of our state, and today that campaigned claimed another life. I've seen the video from several angles and it's sickening. But I have a strong statement here for our federal govt: Minnesota's justice system will have the last word."

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz: "I call on all Americans to see the decency that this state is exhibiting and the horrific cruelty, unprofessional absolute abomination that is passing for what these ICE agents are doing on these streets."

“This Administration is demonstrating an ongoing pattern of co-opting & misusing laws that were passed to protect Black people from white supremacy to, now, protect white supremacy by silencing its critics.” @jbrownedianis.bsky.social via @therootdotcom.bsky.social

This is literally what they said in the Washington Post about LA in June of 2025. The fainting couch disbelief that Americans will push back against tyranny would be funny if it weren’t getting people killed.

I know in my heart that the Siege of Minneapolis will go down as one of the biggest political blunders/grossest abuses of federal power in American history. Just a matter how long that consensus takes. Next week? Next year? Next decade?
