The MAGA crowd seems very triggered that yesterday’s protest was historic, their comments are everywhere. In total, 22 MAGA individuals were arrested for attempting to attack peaceful protesters. Arrests were made in OH, KY, CA, SC, NC, MI, OR, FL, VA, TX, and PA.

Rubio promised to betray U.S. informants to get Trump’s El Salvador prison deal To secure U.S. access to President Nayib Bukele’s notorious CECOT prison, Rubio agreed to turn over several MS-13 leaders central to a long-running Justice Department investigation.

This story is extraordinary even by 2025 standards. Marco Rubio, the nation's top diplomat, made a deal with Bukele and agreed to renege on informant agreements in a years-long DOJ investigation into MS-13, totally undercutting credibility of such agreements.

"KNOW YOUR PROTEST RIGHTS You don’t need a permit to protest in response to breaking news and you don’t need a permit to march in the streets or along sidewalks, as long as you’re not obstructing traffic or access to buildings. When you are lawfully present in any public space, you have the right to photograph anything in plain view, including federal buildings and the police. If you believe your rights have been violated, when you can, write down everything you remember, get contact information for witnesses, and take photographs of any injuries. If you get stopped by the police, ask if you’re free to go. If they say yes, calmly walk away. If you get arrested, you have a right to ask why. Otherwise, say you wish to remain silent and ask for a lawyer immediately. Don’t sign, say or agree to anything without a lawyer present. If you get stopped by a member of the military or any law enforcement office at a protest, you have the right to remain silent or to tell them that you’ll only answer questions in the presence of an attorney — no matter your citizenship or immigration status."

If you're taking to the streets to protest today, know your rights.

So if you're a Republican and kiss Trump's ass, you can commit crimes and get pardoned by Trump. And if you're a Democrat, you get charged with crimes you didn't commit.
Again, fascism to the core.

I’ve gifted this because I’m bribing you to read it

You down with with your storm troopers doing this shit to people, @govpritzker.illinois.gov?

Cops be like

If I'm a one-issue voter it's accountability for January 6 and pretty much every single day of this administration.

We can't move on without putting a stop to the corruption and that's going to require accountability.

Don't engage. Just block. They want to push their rage bait on here. Don't give them the satisfaction.

Also, ayo @jay.bsky.team and the BlueSky team, if you’re gonna permaban Link and Palestinian aid accounts, it’s not a good look if you also don’t ban government accounts engaged in obvious violations of the Hatch Act, which is an actual federal law.

He gets to leave prison but the conviction remains on his record.

JFC 🤦‍♂️

Andreeson looks like the viral JD Vance picture without the curly hair.

"You see it doesn't count because the prosecution was wearing white, and as everyone's aware it's long after Labor Day."

@DHSGov account says "Ratio." They are QTing a post that I wrote (next picture reproduces in full) asking, with a fair amount of snark, why DHS was blaming Governor Pritzker for the Hanover Park PD having hiring someone who allegedly was a visa overstay. They post two headlines about an Illinois law which authorized noncitizens with valid work authorization to become cops.

The post that set this off, in which I too was QTing the DHS account. The DHS post about the Hanover Park PD incident reads as follows: ". @GovPritzker doesn’t just allow illegal aliens to terrorize Illinois’s communities, he allows them to work as sworn police officers. Radule Bojovic overstayed a B2 tourist visa that required him to depart the U.S. on March 31, 2015. Over a decade later, he was still illegally in the U.S. working as a police officer for the Hanover Park Police Department earning a salary of $78,955. Criminal illegal aliens have NO PLACE in our communities, especially on our police forces." My QT response to this was: "What the heck does Governor Pritzker have to do with a local police department hiring decision? Do the people running @DHSgov not even know the basics about how state governments work?"

Excited to inform you all that the Department of Homeland Security is currently attempting to ratio me (and failing, as of more than two hours later).

With a heavy sigh, I repeat: bring back professionalism. For the love of god. You're running comms for the government of the USA. Act like it.

Just keep your eyes open if you're driving on the I-5 near Camp Pendleton. 😬

Brown shirts and all.

This morning, I was hit in the face by a baton.

I’m going to have a pretty gnarly bruise but we need to remember why this is happening: Trump and ICE are rounding up our neighbors, treating them as subhuman, and shipping them off to labor camps in foreign countries. It has to end.

So then does Leavitt's ‘Hamas terrorists, illegal aliens, and violent criminals’ statement encourage violence or no?

You can't have it both ways.

They don't like algebra - it was invented by a Muslim mathematician.

"Why are you surprised, this was all in Project 2025."

I've already seen MAGA defenders call it AI. Our shared reality seems to have fractured.

Cthulhu did it, with unspeakable horrors, in the caldera.

Or Colonel Mustard, I can't tell. I was never very good at Clue.

Kinda seems like whether or not the president has the power to assassinate people with no due process, no input from Congress, no review, no oversight, and with no obligation to provide anyone with any information or evidence other than “trust me” is an important test of our democracy.

Is it CYA or outrage fatigue? I honestly can't discern the reason for the self-censorship.

Swearing in isn’t some ceremony. You aren’t a member of Congress until it happens. He knows that.

No phones, no staff, nothing.

I had to escort her into the Capitol on Wed bc Capitol police must treat her as a public visitor until she’s sworn in. And solo visitors aren’t allowed during shutdown!

I bet they didn't smash his windows in either.

And he's just getting started. Leavitt just called the Democratic base “...Hamas terrorists, illegal aliens and violent criminals."
