Congress is not powerless. Democrats must unify around an actual agenda.

1. Vote no on DHS funding bill.

2. Repeal the multi-year $75 billion funding for ICE.

3. End qualified immunity for ICE agents.

4. Investigate and prosecute every single ICE agent who broke the law.

Now seems like a good time to remind everyone that the officer who m:rdered Philando Castile was acquitted, so if we want to see accountability we are going to have to work really hard to build a system that actually holds them accountable.

After the president’s slobbering incoherent speech where he said we are going to take over “Iceland” multiple times when he meant Greenland, this is not surprising.

We’re going dooooowwwwnnn. We tried to warn them. We told them so. The Cassandras are fkn tired.

Our president’s speech at Davos is the rantings of a stark raving lunatic and I have never been more ashamed to be an American than I am right now.

“They called me Daddy.”

No. We call you insane.

This is a helpful, horrifying reminder of this nightmare year
On January 20th, one year into Trump's second term, do I really need to remind you?

Trump’s unhinged letter to the Norwegian prime minister proves that HE IS INSANE.

“You deplore the demonstrations taking place in Birmingham. But your statement, I am sorry to say, fails to express a similar concern for the conditions that brought about the demonstrations.

Truly banana pants insane. Every time a federal law enforcement official shoots anyone it should be investigated fully (investigations dont nessacary mean they will be charged, that is why you investigate!). This is the bare minimum for a functioning society instead of a dictatorship
BREAM: Is the FBI investigating the ICE agent who shot Renee Good?

BLANCHE: What happened has been reviewed by millions of Americans bc it was recorded. We investigate when it's appropriate. That is not the case here. We are not going to bow to pressure. So no, we are not investigating.

Sweden is over Trump's nonsense about Greenland and is sending in troops.

SWEDEN, PEOPLE.

No words
Q: The premier of Greenland said today, 'We prefer to stay with Denmark.'

TRUMP: Who said that?

Q: The premier of Greenland

TRUMP: Well, that's their problem. I disagree with him. I don't know who he is. Don't know anything about him. But that's gonna be a big problem for him.

And Kegsbreath just announced that Grok is being integrated into US military systems. What could possibly go wrong.
Take away the tool!

Imagine a nonconsensual image of someone you love being spread.

This has to be stopped

If the only way is dropping the app, then that's what happens

Thank you Senator Lujan.
X’s Grok AI tool is being used to generate nonconsensual sexualized images of women and children. This is unacceptable. @wyden.senate.gov, @markey.senate.gov, and I are demanding that Apple and Google remove X and Grok from their app stores until Elon Musk addresses these heinous violations.

This is fascism, pure and simple.
Breaking NYT:

Federal investigators assigned to the killing of Renee Good are looking into her possible connections to activist groups.

It's in line with the admin's strategy of deflecting blame toward opponents they describe as domestic terrorists — without providing evidence.

"The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first attack on a 'drug boat,' killing 11 ... the laws of armed conflict prohibit combatants from feigning civilian status to fool adversaries into dropping their guard, then killing them. That is a war crime."
