People in Minnesota are now using their key fobs to trigger their car alarms from the safety of their homes when they see ICE walking around.

I've seen some insisting we must rally behind whoever isn't the R in 2028 (yes) but also bitch about people vehemently rejecting Newsom as a 2028 D hopeful.
Shut up. The point is to make sure Newsom is absolutely never the nominee. Stop preemptively carrying water for him. He fucking sucks.

I'll vote for whoever vows Nuremberg trials for this administration.
I will favor anyone specifically who vows the nazis in ICE, CBP, and DHS in particular get someone like John C. Woods to be their hangman.

babe wake up, they're doing insider trading on war crimes
“What appears to be a newly created account appeared to invest $30,000 Friday in Maduro's exit. After Maduro went into custody Saturday morning, that same investor netted $436,759.61.”
Someone made $400K by predicting Maduro's capture. Here's what happened
The winnings come as the rules governing prediction markets are still evolving.

The Democrats helped shut down the government and showed you can exercise some real power in the minority. Then they gave it away for nothing rather than extracting concessions.
Americans who demand nothing of their elected leaders are some of the most pathetic people in the country.

Not only do we need to hold trials for every person in this administration and every single person in ICE and CBP and Homeland Security, but we absolutely need to find someone like John C. Woods to carry out the subsequent hangings.

And just like that, Trump hands what's left of Maduro's regime in Venezuela and the military a strong message to galvanize national support-- resist the imperialist Americans that want to occupy us and seize our resources for themselves.
He truly is the perfect idiot.

Trump just announces the US will be running Venezuela now, until the can do a "safe, proper, and judicious" transfer of power. Announcing an occupation before you've occupied a country is a new one.

Are we supposed to call our reps and tell them we don’t like when the president engages in overt war crimes, or can we trust them to get there on their own?

The consequences for lying us into Iraq were not only “nothing” but outright rehabilitation of Bush as a “compassionate conservative” who was part of a noble dying breed so why should anyone waste the time justifying this one

Big congrats to the Nobel Committee for awarding the prize "for her struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy" just so she could immediately conspire with a foreign government to murder civilians on the high seas then invade and stage a coup.
I feel like the history of western imperialism is often like this, where there's an almost-plausible case for resource-grabbing, an almost plausible geopolitical explanation (first Caracas, then Havana), and a sort of liberal imperialist fig leaf to keep democrats from being too mad (the Nobel shit)

Strange takes on Mayor Zamdani swearing his oath on the Qu’ran. It has nothing to do with church & state. The point of the oath is for the person swearing in to do so upon some text that is sacred TO THEM. Some Presidents swore in w/o any book. John Quincy Adams was sworn on a law book. His choice.

"AI isn't going anywhere so you might as well learn how to use it."
Easily one of the worst pro-AI pitches. One of the most ubiquitous aspects of AI is that it deteriorates associated skills and disincentivizes learning skills.
Actually knowing how to do things will never not be valuable.

The USPS faces a tight squeeze. With fewer people using the mail, it’s lost more and more money: $9 billion in the 12 months ending in September alone.

Too many people still don't get it. Attacks on trans people are attacks on everyone. See also all the cis women being hurt and humiliated by bathroom laws.
To be clear, protecting trans people is a good enough reason to fight on its own.
