Journalists often go on hand-fed ride-alongs with agents.

Seldom, though, do they get into the cars of everyday people protecting their communities from those same agents.

We just did exactly that, in ICE-occupied Minneapolis:

Did he say THE FBI is contacting media????

Possible to start to tell a unified story: "Trump is personally too old, crazy, and confused to run things, so at any given time the question is which co-president is in charge. At first it was Musk, & we got the crazy chaotic DOGE era. Then Navarro: a trade war that crashed markets. Now Miller..."

i hope other elected dems are taking note - this is where the bar is now. get out there and do something. put your own ass on the line for us.

We've reached the point in our descent into fascism where the Jewish governor's house getting firebombed on Passover by a guy trying to bash his head in with a sledgehammer is overshadowed by the story of the President saying he wants to build foreign gulags for US citizens.

The Avoidable Male Loneliness Epidemic. Men, We are Becoming our own Greatest Obstacle.

The Male Loneliness Epidemic might be almost entirely self-inflicted by men. Women are not here to take what is “rightfully” yours. The “trash world” is only a boogieman invented by men who lack the will to live within a world they are too scared to help change.

I do not like that man Ted Cruz
I do not like his far right views
I do not like his stupid chin
I do not like his smarmy grin
I do not like him with a beard
I do not like him freshly sheared
I do not like Ted Cruz at all
That man Ted Cruz can suck my balls

tim walz went to a restaurant in houston, bought food for a whole team of people, and asked the waiter "what's the order that's easiest on the kitchen staff" cause he knew it was a lot and i'm gonna allow myself a bit of mourning here that we could've had a guy who actually cares about others.

A screenshot of a post on X by user Suzie Rizzo (@SUZIERIZZO1 ). The post includes a text graphic with an orange background and black text that reads: "WHEN did America become a place where people take joy in suffering? Celebrating job losses, cheering immigrant arrests, ignoring terrified schoolchildren, and applauding when neighbors lose public assistance—what happened to basic human decency?" Above the graphic, Suzie Rizzo's comment reads: "Anyone want to answer this??? "

This is the result of decades of civic poisoning by Fox News and right-wing echo chambers and channels.

“Hey America, your money is no good here. Literally.

Hiring your brother is the original affirmative action for white people.

Based on the replies l, it looks like there a lot of fed workers on @bsky.app

I just wanted to say THANK YOU. I can't imagine the shit you are going through right now

Thanks for your service to our country

Job posting for Head Glazer at Krispy Kreme Donuts

He then closed with “so don’t worry your pretty little head about it.”

The most obvious lesson to draw from the leaked Signal chat is that these people really are morons. It's not a public act, it's not a schtick, there's not some secret back room where they drop the facade. They are genuinely stupid, incompetent people.

I regret joking about Jeffrey Goldberg because I think he may be in genuine danger.

I'm not saying anything novel here but it really is just truly despicable to watch them use THEIR OWN COLOSSAL SCREW UP to slander the reporter THEY INCLUDED ON THEIR CLASSIFIED GROUP CHAT

“Not like us” but the White House

the current administration

Leaked memo: DOGE plots to cut Social Security phone support Changes could break the system, former officials say.

So it appears DOGE has decreed that Social Security administration will no longer provide phone support. At all. This is in addition to shutting down a ton of local SSA offices. www.axios.com/2025/03/17/s...

The members of the Jan 6 Committee are all proud of our work.

Your threats will not intimidate us.

Or silence us.

It’s amazing that so many Christians who are adamant that they would’ve stood against the Third Reich are either silent before this administration or passively/actively supporting it.

It’s almost like they just be sayin stuff or somethin.

Don’t come to the United States now. I know that’s capitulation, because the fascist trash that runs the country wants to go full blood and soil and keep you out, but it’s not safe. Don’t do it.

Understand that this El Salvador gulag deportation was done partly in order to make the fascist video that the president now transmits, with his fascist message. The cameras are all set up in advance.

Scientists have just cured pancreatic cancer in some patients with personalized mRNA vaccines. Pancreatic cancer. And this Trump administration wants to throw it all away.

They’re throwing away a cure for cancer.

I found a ‘dead’ person collecting Social Security in Seattle “Dead” Ned Johnson turns out to be very much alive. It took him weeks to convince the system he was breathing and to start clawing his benefits back.

The richest man in the world took over $5K out of this guy's bank account, claiming he was dead. The richest man in the world said he was saving money.

He was not dead.
