Watching grievance governance bounce off courts, markets, and the Constitution is grim and oddly instructive. When intimidation meets competence, the results look a lot like #slapstick. #uspolitics #doj #kakistocracy #authoritarianism

#Trump rewrites history, subsidizes chaos, and threatens the world while Americans demand accountability in the streets. Nostalgia isn’t healing. Forgetting isn’t unity. #uspolitics #dueprocess #authoritarianism #kakistocracy

Trump used a steakhouse dinner to justify the National Guard and prove DC was “safe.” Protesters ruined the shot. Cue the blame game #mtg #kakistocracy #authoritarianism

Stephen Colbert on the ICE murder of Renee Nicole Good: “The message from this administration is clear. Only they determine the truth. And when their forces come to your city: obey or die. And if you die, you clearly didn’t obey. This should be an alarm bell for the entire country.”

I’m not going to sit quietly while people lie about this. Renee Good was kind. She was leaving. The sounds at the end are bullets being fired into her car from the side. Watch the video and stop pretending this was justified.

Frey: "I think [Vance] also asserted that because you work at the federal government you somehow have absolutely immunity from committing crimes. That's not true in any law school in America, whether it's Yale or Villanova or anywhere else. That's not true."

Our health care system is collapsing. Housing is unaffordable. 60% of people are living paycheck to paycheck.

Instead of trying to "run" Venezuela, Trump might try to do a better job running the United States.

If you had any questions about this shooting, they should be cleared up now. It was murder. Point blank. Period.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.

This could be you.
Distraught woman says ICE killed her wife in video after deadly Minneapolis shooting "They killed my wife," the distraught woman says, adding, "They shot her in the head." An ICE agent shot and killed a 37-year-old woman who was driving an SUV in Minneapolis on Wednesday. / Screenshot/@Breaking911 "They killed my wife. I don't know what to do," the woman says through sobs in the footage, with a damaged SUV visible in the distance behind her. "We stopped to videotape, and they shot her in the head," the woman cries. "We have a six-year-old at school," she says, almost unable to breathe, as a chaotic scene in which federal officers prevented at least one doctor who was on the scene from assisting the shot victim unfolds. "We're new here," the distraught woman says in despair.
