AOC: An agency that is attacking U.S. citizens, kidnapping five-year-olds and using them as bait, and privately circulating the idea that they can violate the rights of Americans by busting down their doors—they deserve to be defunded, and I’ll take any step in that direction.

We all want to get violent criminals off our streets, and the State of Minnesota has never wavered in doing so.
The federal government’s propaganda machine is taking credit for work that happened long before thousands of untrained agents showed up to put on a show for Trump.

Crucial from @profsaunders.bsky.social: Trump's Greenland threats are also deranged because not only are we already getting what we want from there, it would *cost us more* to take it over than it now costs us to get our way!

Trump has been in office for one year. We at @nature.com did a deep dive looking at the administration's disruption of science in numbers.

Americans are realizing that unfettered federal power to detain and arrest is a very dangerous thing. I learned that lesson as a child when they put us into internment camps just for looking like the enemy. Don’t go further down this road.

See, in the NFC when a receiver's knee is down, a subsequent strip of the ball by the defense doesn't count. In the AFC, a receiver can be stripped of the ball even if his ass is on the turf. #NFLPlayoffs

🇩🇰🇺🇸 More than 280,000 Danes have signed a petition to buy California from the US.
The petition promises to bring the Danish concept of “hygge” to Hollywood, bike paths to Beverly Hills, and organic Danish sandwiches “smorrebrod” to every corner.
The petition was created almost a year ago.

Again, I’m going to keep banging the drum that the fact we are threatening the territorial sovereignty of our closest allies is not only a gross violation of our UN & NATO treaty obligations & poses a massive threat to national security & world order but also should immediately end this presidency.
Miller: Denmark is a tiny country with a tiny economy and a tiny military. They cannot defend Greenland… Under every understanding of law that has existed about territorial control for 500 years, to control a territory you have to be able to defend a territory…

the only good thing about this part of the horrible shooting story is that it may turn out to be a gut shot for the carcass of @cbsnews.com and that's great. and unlike the ICE goon CBS has real internal bleeding.

It used to be that victims of murders in the U.S. would be smeared by InfoWars and Gateway Pundit as a way to fetishize guns and violence for ad dollars and supplement sales, with the added benefit of cozying up to far-right politicians. Now that work is done by CBS News.

We can’t “just ignore” people like Ezra Klein and Matt Yglesias, because their very stupid world views hold enormous sway at the highest levels of the Democratic Party and make things worse for the rest of us.

The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew and act anew.
