The State of the Game Show In this week’s Elie v. US, our justice correspondent explores how Trump’s State of the Union turned authoritarian violence into a titillating event. Plus Kansas’s vile ban on driving-while-trans and X...

Trump’s SOTU revealed the only thing Suzanne Collins got wrong when she wrote The Hunger Games: the idea that the game show is a function of the government rather than the WAY the government functions. You can find this & more in this week’s β€œElie v. US.”

Just look at our sweet little Mochi making amazing progress in his foster home! This sweet baby came from a one of our community cat colonies and is starting to show his playful nature in foster. We knew this guy was going to win some hearts once he got comfortable!

Anyway I saw someone post a photo the other day with a cat desk bed and was like "CAT DESK BED?!!?" so I forced my brother to buy me one (sorry buddy) and attached it to the desk about 15 minutes ago

Uptake is 100% so far!

"The agents gave her an ankle monitor and let the family go a few blocks from Federal Plaza on a frigid night with a dead cell ... Her 8-year-old son wakes up crying at night. Her daughter is sent home each day with a new stuffed animal that teachers have given her to try to quell her meltdowns."

First they killed children and Republicans did nothing because they were not children.

Now they’re killing adults and Republicans will do nothing because they are not adults.

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.

The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

I helped to establish DHS in 2002 and 2003 and later had the homeland security portfolio as a White House Counsel and served as General Counsel of the Department.

I am enraged and embarrassed by DHS’s lawlessness, fascism, and cruelty.

Impeach and remove Trumpβ€”now.

The deadly shooting in Minneapolis today was a straight-up execution of a protester by Trump's federal brownshirts. 

The thugs wrestled him to the ground.  They pistol-whipped him, then shot him multiple times.  They murdered him.

Beyond helping establish DHS itself in 2003, Mr. Mitnick was a senate-confirmed Trump choice for General Counsel for DHS in his first term. I've talked with him a few times, and he's not a man for hyperbole. So bear that in mind when you see him calling out DHS's "lawlessness, fascism, and cruelty."

Alex Pretti Was a Union Member - Another General Strike Now Likely - NBA Game Cancellation Could Spur Player Walkout Again Alex Pretti was an ICE nurse at the Minneapolis VA and, according to AFGE, a union member of AFGE Local 3669.

Alex Pretti was a union member of AFGE Local 3699

His murder increases the likelihood of another general strike in Minneapolis.

The CBP agent pushes a woman onto the ground and peppers sprays her, the man is trying to protect her from them and help her up, which they respond to by pepper spraying him, tackling him, and then shooting him from behind. It’s one of the most upsetting things I’ve ever seen happen in America

this is how you create a state identity that supersedes national identity.

like, if you wanted states to start seceding, this would be the first step.

TAKE ACTION NOW

Today, Gray Wolves in 44 states still have federal protectionsβ€”but those protections are under attack. The U.S. House just passed a bill that would see wolves delisted nationwide.

Join us NOW in telling the Senate to oppose any anti-wolf bills! app.sosha.ai/s/9DSVAK5K

Friends, I need your advice
I want to raise funds to buy a charging station for my friend Maryna and her cat Xenia
They live in a dangerous area of Kyiv and fully depend on electricity
No gas, only an electric stove, and central heating also depends on power
Would you support this?

The ICE agent who shot Marimar Martinez in Chicago tried to goad her out of her car.

He said β€œdo something b*tch” and shot her 5 times.

The ICE agent who shot Nicole Renee Good did the same thing. Stood right in front of her vehicle and yelled β€œf*cking bitch”.

They hate women & it shows.

When Renee Good said "I'm not mad at you" what the ICE goon heard was "I'm not scared of you."

That's what enraged him. The populace wasn't fully terrorized and cowed into submission yet, so he acted to make that happen.
