The best time to abolish ICE would have been in 2021. The next best time is if we win in 2028. At this point, any Democrat unwilling to abolish ICE must be drummed out of the primary.
ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase.

The President is building an army to attack his own country.
This administration doesn't feel the need to prove anything, and frankly isn't being required to by anyone.

AOC: And they are able to radicalize a generation of young boys in particular, away from healthy masculinity and into an insecure masculinity that requires the domination of others who are poorer, browner, darker, or a different gender than them.
Have you ever figured out why so much of the Democrat leadership seems lackadaisical about defending their own voters?
The concept that actions have consequences is considered unfair by too many people.

It's wild that we've reached a point where the President openly admits to firing people for political reasons, and his OMB director tweets about it like it's a victory. This is page one of the authoritarian playbook, happening in plain sight.
The last sentence is the important one. Making sure everyone is aligned with a shared vision. In other words the news will be reported the way she thinks it should be presented.

Be nice if any single national Democrat promised to hold these fuckwads accountable for malicious prosecution should the wheel ever turn around.

But, whatever. Everybody who opposes Trump will just have to weather this bullshit.

/6 If you are stuck in the McArdlian view "we can't think of the other side of evil" -- which I view as sociopathic -- I have to ask, is there ANYTHING they can do that will make you call it evil? Is there ANYTHING they can do that won't make you say "I should focus on finding common ground?"

In MD, a burial plot is discovered with the bodies of more than 200 black boys linked to a state juvenile detention facility with a history of abuse & neglect from the late 1800s.

Delegate @jeffrielongjr seeks the truth behind what happened to these young boys.

They don't care about hypocrisy. Just keep spewing hate. Their base loves it. Despite all the excuses made for their base by "understanding democrats", this is what rallies their base. Not the economy, healthcare, education or anything else. Watch a rally, this is what they cheer.

The South Korean Ministry of Defense has awarded medals of merit to 11 officers for disobeying direct orders of superiors during the martial law fiasco, orders that they deemed to be contrary to the constitution and endangerment to democracy.

You're in good company. Eddie Glaude has swore at least twice that I've seen. May not be correct or polite, but sometimes those words are needed for catharsis. 🤣
Trump is thinking about giving them a bailout because he likes their President. He wants him to stay in power.
Still waiting on the klan to be designated.

Crockett: "I'm gonna honor someone who decided they were going to proclaim I was involved in the 'great white replacement'? Yeah, I'm not honoring that ... it's unfortunate more of my colleagues even on my side couldn't see the amount of harm this man was attempting to inflict upon our communities"

Dana Carvey parodied George HW Bush on SNL — “Nah, wouldn’t be prudent” — the President called him up and they became friends. .

Daryl Hammond imitated Clinton through his Presidency, including savage stuff during his sex scandal. Clinton invited him to do a “dueling Presidents” gag.
President Johnson, in a November 9, 1968 letter to the Smothers Brothers:

“It is part of the price of leadership of this great and free nation to be the target of clever satirists . . . May we never grow so somber or self-important that we fail to appreciate the humor in our lives.”
Yep, charisma has always been important, but can we have a little substance. Pretty please. 🙏🏾

While Trump is getting rid of U.S. Attorneys who won’t gun up prosecutions against his enemies, his Justice Department is quietly closing investigations into members of his own administration (apparently at Bove’s direction) www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t...
Tom Homan was investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. Trump's DOJ shut it down.
The FBI and Justice officials closed the investigation, which a Justice Department appointee had called a “deep state” probe in early 2025.

A white man killed another white man, but Black people are catching death threats.
So, instead of talking about white feelings again, I explored my own death threats, and tips for others who are unused to white America.
