A striking feature of Trump and his team is: they somehow imagine a world in which they are the only actors, only ones with power, and whether it's Tehran or Minneapolis are surprised when it turns out others do. There are many kinds of power and many nations with power.
Pretty crazy how important the blockade of a trade route is right now
The worst thing about the prequels is that George was right.
"Who gives a shit about foreign countries targeting American soldiers in the reckless war we started?" is just a hell of a take for a White House press secretary
ALERT: I'm seeing headlines like this claiming victory on the Big Bend border wall. THIS IS COMPLETELY FALSE. All DHS did was change the color of a line on a map. DHS engineers have mapped out a course for the wall in Big Bend National Park. They showed their cards. (thread 1/6)
Absolute fucking clown show.
This sounds silly but it is the emotional core of maga. You don’t like me? Obviously some vast conspiracy is responsible bsky.app/profile/ster...
There's been a lot of debate within the Democratic establishment about what rhetoric to use via ICE.
Well, an incumbent doesn't lose by 48 percentage points very often—and her vote on collaborating with ICE was the defining issue here.
So. Add. That. Commentary. To. The. Repost.
Nobody is misunderstanding the point. The point is not giving a Nazi undue oxygen.
Boosting him without comment is not responsible behavior by someone of her import from the left.
The part where she boosted a Nazi. Boosting Fuentes is not it. Write the words you want to see yourself, COMMENT on the irony of the right eating itself perhaps, boost someone who isn’t a Nazi saying similar words maybe, but under no circumstances is boosting the Nazi without comment a good look.
This may not end up being decisive in the Democratic primary for Senate, but regardless it’s a bad sign for what Texas Republicans may try to suppress voters in the general election
This has been expected since the minute Menefee won his current seat. They both should have their own district, but the redistricting forced this race. I’d say it’s less about progressivism and more about starting this new district with a fresh, energetic candidate.
If you were at work today and you got a phone call from your wife that France just blew up your kid's school, your lifelong opinion of France is probably not going to be anything other than "Death to France"
things every single republican president of your lifetime has done
- started a war in the middle east
- completely destroyed the economy
I promise you that the government that murdered Alex Pretti and Renee Good does not give a flying fuck about the protests in Iran.
Taking away a service that American voters paid for directly, on top of their taxes, because you want the already loathed armed employees of your department to keep operating on American streets by the standards of a Third World dictatorship's secret police is beyond galaxy-brain thinking by Noem.
Plenty of reason to abolish CBP entirely, but let's add to the list "facilitating trafficking of minors for sex."
The regime is now dictating what political views are acceptable to air on television and paramount/cbs are collaborating in that censorship bsky.app/profile/ditz...
Happy Mardi Gras to all the Heaux, Breaux, & Enbeaux out there 🎭
Every single time a story like this is reported, we must assume that there are many many more that do not.
I think there is truth to this and if the Dems win the House they must not lose sight of consequences for ICE and CBP.
Re: Minnesota I think it's important to both recognize they're lying about a full retreat and recognize it as a victory that they're cognizant enough of the PR disaster to feel the need to lie.
The fact that Bad Bunny's halftime show made white bigots angry and feel excluded is A GOOD THING. It's one of the best things about it. It's not a problem to solve. It's a solution to pursue. Bigots *should* feel excluded. We should find *more* ways to celebrate the reality of USian diversity.
LFG!! 🍊🥍🍊🥍🍊
Bad Bunny’s performance began in the plantation, featured broken electric poles, and ended by centering a hemispheric understanding of “América”—among many other things—and some Anglo journalists are like “his performance wasn’t political.”
This is why we need to be telling our stories.
Trumpworld is attacking Bad Bunny as an "elitist" who disdains "law enforcement." But it turns out that ICE's paramilitary war on Americans has broken all the old culture war signifiers. The old tropes are failing. Trump is losing the culture on this. 6/

Every Super Bowl ad was just “HEY REMEMBER THIS SHIT? HUH? YOU REMEMBER THE POP CULTURE YOU CONSUMED THAT ONE TIME IN YOUR LIFE WHEN NOT ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING FUCKING SUCKED. REMEMBER THAT?? brought to you by a company causing your electric bill to increase 287%”
Striking from new Quinnipiac poll:
*Voters prefer path to legalization over deportations for most undocs by 59-34. Among independents it's 61-33
*Majority says Trump on immigration is making America less safe
Again, there's broad rejection of the whole project, not just ICE tactics (see below)
one thing the trump era has made clear, i think, is that the american people themselves are far more committed to the values of our founding documents than our elites
