BLANCHE: There's a lot of things that President Trump is the first of. No president had been indicted 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 times either COONS: Correct. No president has been indicted

always bears repeating that this is NOT a financial decision. jeff bezos is worth over 250 billion dollars. he can afford to lose many millions and never even notice it. this is, at its core, a political and personal decision by bezos to destroy the post

The ethos of Trumpism is the ethos of the most pathetic schoolyard bully: I can say and do anything to you, but if you say anything back, I will run mewling to the teacher. Just despicable liars nad snivvelers.

Ilhan Omar is an American hero. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...
Ms. Omar, visibly shaken after the assault, insisted to her staff and security that she would continue. She asked for a napkin and told them: "Just give me 10 minutes. I beg you. Please don't let them have the show."
Ms. Omar then turned the crowd. "Here's the reality that people like this ugly man don't understand," she said. "We are Minnesota strong, and we will stay resilient in the face of whatever they might throw at us."
Someone in the crowd later thanked Ms.
Omar for staying and continuing after the assault, which had shaken not only her but the entire room.
"I learned at a young age you don't give in to threats," Ms. Omar said.

"You raise your voice, I erase your voice." ICE in Minneapolis are erasing your rights. Please share our new video of what's happening in our city. youtu.be/W1dyNcRGRXY

The telling phrase here is "any sort of protest." We've all seen right-wing protestors open carrying. But if there's one thing Donald Trump believes, it is that people who protest him & his administration aren't real Americans and don't have real rights.

“My name is Matthew James! I’m a United States citizen! You’re gonna kill me! Is that what you want?” ICE isn’t about immigration. It’s about violence, fear and control.

Two women trained as first responders were abducted by three ICE agents. One of the agents starts seizing. The other two don’t know what to do. The women jump into action and save the agent’s life, only to be re-handcuffed and processed. www.startribune.com/detained-by-...

Detained by ICE, two women became first responders during agent’s seizure
The women say they guided agents through the emergency, later raising concerns about medical protocols, weapons safety and accountability.

🧵ICE's tactics for arresting and holding observers and protestors is ever-shifting, and I'm hearing lots of different stories. Right now, my perspective is that these are your best practices:

Minnesotans have been talking about that damned Halloween blizzard for decades but I didn't live here then. I missed it. To my eternal shame. Trust me- marching against ICE during a polar vortex is NOT to be missed. If you go, no one can ever "out-Minnesota" you again. Layer up. See you there.

Good piece about Job Corps, that strange building across the street from the State Fair. minnesotareformer.com/2025/07/23/c...

Closing Job Corps is not just bad policy — it’s a profound abandonment • Minnesota Reformer
Job Corps is a cost-effective strategy for building a healthier, more resilient workforce.

I actually resent when a reporter puts a microphone in front of 47s face. It’s simply giving him a platform to lie. I don’t care what he has to say. Some of us know who he is at this point. We knew it long ago. His words mean nothing. He is the bottom.

I haven’t seen nearly enough people talking about this. The levels of greed and inhumane thinking on display is actually terrifying. America really is dystopian as fuck.

I don't know what it's gonna take for Democrats to start taking this fight seriously. This is video of regime agents literally arresting Democratic staffers in a congressional office.

This One SCOTUS Ruling Unleashed the Trump Chaos We’re Living In Now. Will John Roberts Do Anything About It?
Trump’s willingness to ignore the law is thanks to a pet project John Roberts sneaked into a ruling last year. We’re all paying the consequences now.

Political pressure must be brought to bear—through the courts, the press, and the states, but also applied to legislators while they still have any power left.

Nothing to worry about here, just a political purge of our national security apparatus that will replace long-serving experts with dimwitted bootlickers. I'm sure our safety and security won't be impacted at all.

Yes. It’s because they invaded a peaceful neighbor and began killing, raping and destroying. How is this hard?
