We need not always mourn what is dying.

The default position of the democratic coalition has to be this:

Everyone. Gets. To. Be. Free.

Everyone.

We do not throw members of our coalition to the fashy wolves.
We do not concede that some state-sanctioned bigotry is okay.

Nope.
None of that shit.

We. All. Get. To. Be. Free.

That's it.

My heart breaks for Maxim Naumov. Just the strength to have made it to the Olympics, let alone competing, after losing his parents last year. I don't know how he's been able to do it.

And then you look at how basically every academic institution in the US was headed by guys hanging out with Epstein, eagerly chatting with him about his love of child sex trafficking and eugenics, asking him for advice.

Laurence Krausses and Laurence Summerses all the way down the whole pipeline.

I was a prosecutor. I negotiated pleas. I believed my ability to threaten economic harm was key to my power. Never stopping to ask why I had that power.

Iowa courts ended these fees. Prosecutors want them back. For the 2.3% collection rate? No. Just to cudgel people. #EndJusticeFees

77% of people detained by ICE in MN had no criminal record. This was all about intimidation, stagecraft, fear, and normalizing a military presence in the streets.

Police state. Fascism. Un-American.

The funniest thing about ICE agents making fake accounts and trying to inflitrate BlueSky is that they're gonna learn about what's actually in the Epstein Files pretty fucking quickly.

Congrats, dipshits. You literally work for the kiddie-rapists.

ICE agents making fake accounts to spy on BlueSky: "I'll bet we're gonna find so many criminal conspiracies. All these shitlibs must be getting paid by Soros or something."

Actual BlueSky: "Coffee memes, indie porn art, and brainstorming the redemption of democracy. You're welcome, ICE goons."

Dear "undercover" ICE agents making new accounts on BlueSky,

I'm sorry your dicks fell off.
Like, for real. I'm truly sorry.
ICE has been authorized to covertly infiltrate and interact with social media accounts under a new program called “masked engagement.”

Legit looking forward to all the witnesses who will clamor to testify against Noem and Lewandowski at their criminal trials.
“.. Noem and Lewandowski frequently berate senior level staff, give polygraph tests to employees they don’t trust and have fired employees—in one incident, Lewandowski fired a U.S. Coast Guard pilot after Noem’s blanket was left behind on a plane ..”

I did my practicum at MSU Sexual Assault Crisis Center. I've worked with a LOT of victims of CSC. (A legal term -- Criminal Sexual Conduct. There are five levels of CSC and trump is guilty of all of them.)
Please read this post carefully. I can assure you that it's absolutely true.
I always believe the women/girls/boys.

False reports are very rare, & when there's more than one?

100% I believe them.
And we believe the women in Canada!

Because of course Jared Kushner is a perpetual national security threat to the United States.
Breaking WSJ:

The highly classified whistleblower complaint against Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard is related to a conversation intercepted last spring in which two foreign nationals discussed Jared Kushner, according to U.S. officials familiar with the matter.

Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.

yep, they're still at it in LA and Portland too

the media is gonna be like "time for a new narrative" and it's so important to keep talking about how none of the cities they invaded have become more safe since the spotlight shifted away from them
ICE “left” Chicago in November, but they’ve disappeared three people from my community in two days this week.

Don’t believe the hype about them, leaving Minnesota, either.

Feel free to call ICE facilities either "prison camps" or "concentration camps" because those are both accurate.

She didn’t turn around. She didn’t look at them.

They were right there.

She could have arranged to get their contact information.

She could have shown a scrap of sympathy.

But Pam Bondi wouldn’t even look them in the eye.

And that was a defining moment.

The administration was hoping for the theater of its paramilitaries squaring off against black bloc street fighters.

And instead it got this.

Hard to label the lady in a bathrobe as a “terrorist.”
Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones.

Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.
