This is the Stolen Neighbors Quilt. Each of the 11,000 squares represents a person taken by ICE in Minnesota.

ICE must be abolished. By the next Congress. They have the power if they will use it. Congress needs to re-assert itself as the Article I branch on so many areas. This would be a great place to start.

“[Colbert] went on to quote Robert Hayden's famous poem: ‘We must not be frightened nor cajoled into accepting evil as deliverance from evil. We must go on struggling to be human, though monsters of abstraction police and threaten us.’” www.editorialboard.com/take-comfort...

Take comfort knowing Trump is the loneliest man in America
It's why he hates Stephen Colbert's joy.

Politics is often depressing everywhere, but in the US it's so utterly appalling that it's no longer politics, it's a kind of a parallel world led by a bunch of fanatics trying to replace the real world by imposing one of intolerance, racism, religious dogma and seeking personal profit

To everyone sweating gas prices, a reminder: we could have electrified the grid, gotten off fossil fuels, and replaced all vehicles with EVs for the same cost as the Iraq war. ɢɪᴠᴇ ᴀ ꜱʜɪᴛ ᴀʙᴏᴜᴛ ɴᴀᴛᴜʀᴇ

If you think he cares about gas prices, housing costs, home electricity costs, inflation, no jobs, troops getting killed, grocery prices, health care costs, or anything else that would improve the lives of most Americans, you are wrong.

“You're thinking of the $175 billion in tariff money all wrong. As if I had the money back in a safe. The money's not here. Your money's in the White House ballroom, the renaming of the Department of Defense, the $10 billion transfer to the Board of Peace, and a hundred other unauthorized actions.”
It’s a Wonderful Life bank run scene.

Trump is weak at home, and he can be stopped – so long as the domestic political logic of foreign intervention is recognized and turned against him. This act of war is about regime change in the United States. It only succeeds if Americans allow it to do so.
Text card reads: 
Thinking about...
Venezuela: The Precedents

At the moment, it looks much more like an American attempt to remove a rival for power and clear the way for an American imperialism directed not so much against Maduro as against Venezuelans as a people.

It was striking to hear Donald Trump describe the extraction of Maduro as an “extraordinary military operation,” since this is essentially the same language that Vladimir Putin used in his speech announcing the full-scale invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022.

The whole Third Term Project isn’t actually about Trump. The people behind it know he will likely be dead or enfeebled by 2029. It is about them, the vastly unpopular group around Trump, wanting to grift us forever without elections.

The United States could have great things like this. But we like to spend our money on kidnapping people and trafficking them to concentration camps instead. #Priorities

They launched a coup, suffered no consequences for it, won back power, and have used the power to pardon everyone involved while remaking the country through violence and intimidation. It’s just ridiculous to talk about the political violence of yelling at ICE agents within that context.

The food we eat, the air we breathe, the planes we fly on, and the accounts where we keep our retirement savings are all less safe because Donald Trump is President.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.

MONTHS AFTER Joe said he would not pardon Hunter, Trump won the election & appointed a man as FBI Director who has spent the last 4 years on every right-wing podcast ranting that he was going to go after Hunter. Obsessed with him. Were you aware of that, critics? Not relevant?

If you know the facts of the 6-year campaign leading up to Hunter's prosecution, it is very difficult to argue pardon is corrupt (which is what Biden says in his statement). Problem is most of you don't know those details, and as a result are involved in covering up Trump's corruption.
