@RichRaho Bigotry and hate fuels MAGA, it is the glue holding the movement together, it is the essence of MAGA’s ugliness.

Catholic priest at Mass this morning: “Let’s be honest. It was never about deporting criminals from our country. But, it was always about deporting people based simply on the color of their skin alone.”

when they say that everyone should have a right to carry a weapon in public they mean only loyal Republicans have a right to carry a weapon in public. if you don't agree them politically and you carry a weapon then that's justification for them to shoot you dead.

Pope Leo and Pope Francis were both right about JD Vance. His entire public service has been a mockery of our faith. thelettersfromleo.com/p/two-popes-re…

"The Saturday shooting of Alex Pretti, as he lay on the ground surrounded by ICE agents, is the worst incident to date in what is becoming a moral and political debacle for the Trump Presidency." - WSJ Editorial Board

As a norwegian i genuinely want to know what is psychologically wrong with the members of Congress who are silently watching the fascist downfall of America and doing absolutely nothing to stop it 🤷

Too obvious a point even to make, perhaps. But there was no “unrest” in Minneapolis before ICE and CBP showed up. ICE and CBP are the cause of the chaos…and the killings. Get them out of there.

We Are Now Under Authoritarian Rule. The government has sanctioned the use of deadly force against citizens who refuse to obey—even when the orders are unlawful and unconstitutional. This is not law enforcement. This is enforced submission. PAXIS.app helps with clarity and response below… When U.S. officials, agencies, or enforcers issue commands that: • Violate the Constitution, • Operate without due process, • Target people based on race, speech, or status, …those commands are illegitimate, even if backed by weapons or threats. Practical Ways to Refuse Illegitimate Authority 1. Do not open your door without a valid judicial warrant. 2. Do not comply with demands to show ID, answer questions, or consent to searches unless legally required. 3. Do not participate in or carry out unconstitutional orders if you are in public service. 4. Refuse to spread state propaganda or disinformation. 5. Withdraw labor, resources, and cooperation from systems breaking the law. 6. Document and publish every illegal command given. 7. Support others who refuse. Protect whistleblowers, resistors, and dissenters. Stand firm. Stay lawful. Refuse collapse. Support and learn more at: 👉 gofund.me/6e41243ac

Immigration enforcement, my ass. Bondi's letter below—essentially offering to stop attacking and murdering citizens in Minnesota in exchange for the state's voter rolls—shows what Trump, Miller et al. are really after: They want to fuck with the nation's elections so that they never have to cede power and never have to answer for their crimes. Trump needs to go. He needs to be impeached and removed. Now.

Not everybody who supported Trump and MAGA was a bad person at the start. But MAGA is a jealous god. It demands its supporters descend a path of degeneration to utter moral ruin. Police death squads today; who knows what tomorrow.

for the love of God are there no Republican senators with the decency and guts to stand up and force Trump to back off? nytimes.com/live/2026/01/2… via @NYTimes

Given current events, it bears repeating that when the Trump admin spreads disinformation, they’re not doing it because they expect you to accept their lies as truth. They do it to erode the notion of truth and destroy our ability to distinguish between truth & falsehood.

This is the grim, depressing reality Trump has made of American life. Instead of waking up on a Saturday, relaxing and spending time with your loved ones, you now have to watch American towns being ravaged and its citizens being murdered by violent secret police.

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

“The federal government is no longer bound by law. If agents of the state may kill people in public without being investigated; if they have—again, per VP Vance—“absolute immunity” from prosecution then we are living in an authoritarian regime.” open.substack.com/pub/thebulwark…

BREAKING: Jeff Daniels on Donald Trump: "We’re supposed to elect the best of us, not the worst of us. He’s everything that’s wrong with not just America but being a human being.”

The deadly shooting in Minneapolis today was a straight-up execution of a protester by Trump's federal brownshirts. The thugs wrestled him to the ground. They pistol-whipped him, then shot him multiple times. They murdered him. The videos don't lie. A man is dead, killed in cold blood. There is no conceivable justification for this intentional homicide. And make no mistake, that intentional, unjustified homicide was committed on behalf of Donald J. Trump. Trump's militarization of Minneapolis and other parts of our nation isn't about illegal immigration. It's not about enhancing public safety. It's about destroying any sense of that safety—to intimidate political opponents, and to punish dissent. It's about a corrupt, out-of-control regime's effort to provoke citizens in order to justify the violence it desires to commit against them so that it can expand and retain its power. That is fascism. It is tyranny. It is governmental criminality. And the ultimate legal check the Framers of our Constitution provided to stop this kind of tyranny and criminality in the executive branch is impeachment and removal of the executive. Congress needs to do its job. Now. Before it's too late.

@ChrisMurphyCT reddit.com/r/VHA_Human_Re…

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump. Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

@RichardAngwin Add to that our natural environment. Not only is DJT hellbent on destroying our country he wants to destroy the whole darn planet! Wake up Republicans, your denial of reality will lead us all to hell, stop this madness before it’s too late!

Wasn't Robert Redford spot-on ??

@GavinNewsom Republicans in Congress are impotent weaklings. vote them all out in midterms, they are enablers of a man seriously addicted to fame, power and greed who is hell bent on destroying everything good about America.

We're witnessing corruption under Donald Trump at a scale this country has never seen. Weaponizing our institutions against his enemies. Profiting off the presidency. How the hell are we putting up with this?
