.... which is why we need to be supporting primary challengers right now - people who will vocally oppose this leadership, instead of supporting and going along with them.
A vote for an incumbent senator is a vote for many things, but one of those things *is* a vote for Chuck Schumer's leadership.

you read about the German, Austrian, and Polish social democratic parties being like "we can just wait these fascists out" and you shake your head, wondering how anyone could possibly be so obtuse. then you take a sip of coffee and read about what Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries are up to in 2026
U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

The discordant background in the second half of Olivia Rodrigo's Deja Vu is sometimes suddenly obsessed with. It's beautiful to have music where you don't connect with any of the lyrics, but you can connect with the music itself.

Someone said Republicans are school shooters and Democrats are the Uvalde cops and man…
Democrats want commonsense reform for ICE:
End the roving patrols and racial profiling.
Take accountability and abide by the same rules as local police.
Masks need to come off, body cameras need to stay on—no secret police in the United States of America.

In the south side of Minneapolis, community members have started setting up filter blockades- which are make shift roundabouts. The intent is to slow down the erratic ICE driving behavior among other things. Full report to come on @statuscoupnews.bsky.social

Here's the deal, @icegov.bsky.social: If observing your operations and alerting people about them is illegal, then you must arrest me. Because I'm doing it many hours each day.
But here's the deal, everyone else: if they DON'T arrest me, they don't have a case, and you should do what I'm doing.

ICE, if you're listening, please arrest Will Stancil, so he can skeet "I've been arrested!" and I can reply, "No you haven't." Look at these charts.
I’m physically following them around using my government name telling them to arrest me and they haven’t bothered to arrest me. Also half the US Attorney’s office here in MN just resigned! They do not have a case and they do not have manpower, but their only tool is trying to be menacing.

Even if Bovino gets fired, ICE has to go.
Even if Noem is out, ICE has to go.
Even when Trump leaves office, ICE has to go.
As protests grow and ICE's popularity drops, we may see concessions and leadership changes, like Bovino's departure. ICE still has to go.

So, legendary comics artist Sal Buscema drew Beebo! Because it was an odd request, it ended up taking him a little longer to finish, so by then, "The Good, the Bad and the Cuddly" had aired. You can see Beebo's steely-eyed determination in the piece. I love it.
