This is exactly the problem with a majoritarian democracy split along two party lines. Multi-party coalitions are more democratic. The US is no longer a LIBERAL democracy. It is an AUTHORITARIAN democracy. Trump is playing havoc with a norms-based political system. Not enough checks to power.

Grim.
They refused to probe a murder. The people with consciences walked out.

🚨 NEW: At least four leaders of the DOJ Civil Rights Division resigned because the section's head, Harmeet Dhillon, decided not to investigate shooting of Renee Good.
Frey: "You cannot drag pregnant women through the snow. You're not allowed to take teenagers out of their car and detain them when they are in fact American citizens. That is against the law in every state. That is against our US Constitution."

Close to 90 million people did NOT vote in the 2024 election.

90 million.

It bears repeating over and over and over.
As ICE terrorizes communities, remember that some of Trump's biggest supporters are private prison corporations making bank off his deportation agenda.

Trump has unleashed billions of dollars worth of funding for these companies while offering them "no-bid" contracts.

Cashing in on cruelty.
Pretty willd how the DOJ just straight up stopped releasing the Epstein files even though they're legally obligated to do so.

The head-spinning events of the past week indicate that either Trump is stark raving mad or his elevation to the US presidency was the greatest undercover coup in the history of Soviet and Russian intelligence. www.irishtimes.com/opinion/2026...

Kristi Noem was selected for the ICE leadership role BECAUSE she is prepared to deceive, lie, demonise and hate. Truth is for suckers, in her twisted world.
TAPPER: “You called Renee Good a "domestic terrorist" shortly after. Why did you not wait?”

@KristiNoem: “Everything I've said has been proven to be factual.” 🤥

@jaketapper: “What you said is not what happened.”

NOEM: “It absolutely is.” 🤥

A regime of shameless liars.
Yes, that does say it all.

He didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.

Y'all Qaeda gave up on books long ago, but you really should consider taking up reading again. This shit is why that's important.

If ICE can murder white suburban moms in broad daylight while being filmed, they can come after you and your children.

Fuck Kristi Noem and these domestic terrorists.
For those keeping score, Bellingcat, The New York Times Visual Investigation Team, & Washington Post's Visual Forensic team have all published analysis showing the ICE shooter wasn't in the path of Renee Nicole Good’s vehicle when he shot her, contradicting statements by the President & his cronies

The GOP ratcheted up their criticism of — and pressure on — the federal judiciary Wednesday, arguing at a Senate Judiciary Committee panel that some of the judges who have ruled against President Donald Trump’s administration deserve to be impeached. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Forensic analysis of objective video evidence. This is how you serve readers searching for clarity.

Did Adelaide exceed them both, or just Melbourne?

Owners must have deep pockets.
WITNESS: "I just can't let this narrative of self-defense go any further. That’s absolutely not what it was… ICE agents didn’t let anyone help her for 15 minutes, then medics couldn’t get through with their ambulance.”
What can Europe do to deter America from seizing Greenland?

1. Making the U.S. aware of the implications of seizing Greenland

2. Preparing a deterrent package, by threatening to:

- Suspend U.S. trade deals
- sell-off of U.S. debt holdings
- Invoke EU mutual defense clause preemptively

Boffin in Australia definitely means you’re an expert. 👍

The Internet doesn’t forget. So, Rubio needs to be reminded again and again that he’s a friggin hypocrite. Hammer that home. Keep posting this tweet. Make it so he can’t escape scrutiny. I live in hope.
'Batsh*t crazy': Democratic representatives sound off on the White House publishing a website about January 6 that calls the insurrectionists “patriots” and blames officers for the violence. @pabloreports.bsky.social reports.
No amount of gaslighting will convince sane and rational Americans that we didn’t see what we saw on January 6, 2021.

Let’s cut through some of the bullshit and lies…
.@PabloReports: What do you make of the White House blaming the police for the violence on January 6th?

McGovern: That’s offensive. What kind of sick human being would say that? I was here that day.
Samuel Alito flew two flags used by insurrectionists.

Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election.

Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the January 6th plot.

It's a stain on our nation that this has effectively been forgotten.
