It is clear now that the Omani foreign minister's sudden media blitz last night was an attempt to shame the United States by putting into the public record how readily Iran was prepared to reach a deal.

1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

Saying there must be trials isn't just an emotive aspiration.

Congress can:
- Create a new court (complying w/ 6A jury vicinage)
- Give it jurisdiction over defined category of crimes
- Also create dedicated prosecutors for the same
- Strip SCOTUS of appellate jurisdiction

It can be done.

ICE are abducting 5 year olds, using them as bait to get to their family, and shipping them to a Texas concentration camp all in a single day.

We need a Nuremberg for everyone involved. Abolish ICE isn't enough.

Respectfully, look at this fucking bullshit that we’re dealing with, not a single person here has “taken the bait.” We have born witness as little kids are used as bait and neighbors are kidnapped on our streets. A mad dipshit is going to invoke the Insurrection Act regardless and you are blaming us

5-year-old boy among four students detained by ICE, according to school leaders School district leaders argue ICE agents are following students and their parents while driving to and from school.

This comes just after the president publicly demanded that ICE should start showing the public how terrible the people are who they're grabbing and arresting.

In this case, his name is Liam. He's five years old.

LOTR, two panels.

Bottom panel: Sam, facing Frodo (seen from behind), responding: Sheer fucking spite, Mr. Frodo.

Let’s call this what it is: a disgusting abuse of power and a farce.

As his agents terrorize Minnesotans, as prices rise, as he fails to deliver for Americans, he is also weaponizing the DOJ against his perceived enemies.

This is not a banana republic and justice will prevail.

If ICE agents were obeying the law, Miller wouldn't have to claim they have "federal immunity." If Trump's misuse of ICE was legal, they wouldn't need immunity. Either way, they remain subject to the Constitution and can be charged at the state level. They can all be charged, including Trump.

Men who look upon themselves born to reign, and others to obey, soon grow insolent; selected from the rest of mankind their minds are early poisoned by importance; and the world they act in differs so materially from the world at large, that they have but little opportunity of knowing its true interests, and when they succeed to the government are frequently the most ignorant and unfit of any throughout the dominions.

Trump just stole $3 billion in oil from Venezuela and he is keeping it for himself. This is called piracy.

The US Navy is Trump’s privateer force to seize ships from other countries and enrich the Trump family.

A Robin stands on vibrant green moss, its head tilted dramatically to one side, wide-eyed and curious. Its bright orange chest seems to puff out slightly as if mid-protest, while its gaze meets the viewer with an adorably pleading look. The pose perfectly captures the mood of someone reluctantly facing the return to work after a cosy winter break - with a hint of stubborn charm.
