He's in panic mode. Tried to invoke riots with ICE raids, hasn't worked.
We are going to learn some things about this admin that are going to cause a cold civil war.

One part of this claim was refuted by SA. But I think the organization as a whole will continue to struggle given the realignment with the military and recent events in Iran. Being known as an Army recruitment pipeline will not work in their favor.
Profoundly sad for me. Scouting was a massive influence on my development and helped me see a world where we could truly take care of each other without reservations, lifting all of us up.
Attacking, not supporting, vulnerable people is completely opposite the philosophy of Scouting I grew up in.
Ossoff: We were told that MAGA was for working-class Americans. But this is a government of, by, and for the ultra-rich. It’s the wealthiest Cabinet ever. This is the Epstein class. They are the elites they pretend to hate.
Screenshot of an X.com post by Acyn (@Acyn) quoting Wolfers: “This is the most interventionist government of my lifetime. It’s the least conservative government of my lifetime. When you are the richest country in the world, maybe you are not the ones who should be tearing down your existing institutions. That’s usually what countries that are lagging behind try to do. But that’s exactly what this president is doing.”
Screenshot of text continuing the quote: “This won’t show up in next quarter’s GDP. What it will show up as, a decade from now, is companies that were never founded. Entrepreneurs who couldn’t afford to go to business school. Immigrants with great ideas who stayed in their home countries instead. Whatever the next generation’s Google or OpenAI is, it may not be invented—or it may not happen on our soil.”
Screenshot of more text: “We’ll never see that absence directly. But our kids will feel it… lost opportunities: businesses never started, jobs that never existed, technologies never developed…” Below is a video thumbnail of a man speaking on a webcam-style interview set, with books and plants behind him. A lower-third reads “EXCLUSIVE” and “WOLFERS DISCUSSES TRUMP’S LONG-TERM ECONOMIC DAMAGE,” with MeidasTouch Network branding.
Trump’s true, horrifying economic legacy.
#alexpretti was murdered in cold blood by an ICE agent. The videos from different angles show that he was not acting in a threatening way. That agent signed up to kill people.
This is the main takeaway right now, and always. Change comes from the people, not the institutions.
@bynum.house.gov Caught your CNN interview. Well done.
"Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them, and these will continue till they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both.”

"And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family?"
— Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Why did you crop out the timestamp?
This feels like Iraq all over again. Make up a reason to go in (drugs), sell it to the patriotic base, and spend endless taxpayer resources making a few people even richer while at the same time insulating them from any kind of consequences. Military and Venezuelans will pay with their lives.
Republicans think releasing the Jack Smith deposition on New Year's Eve will make it get lost in the fray. Prove them wrong by spreading the word; here are some key takeaways to get us started. www.rawstory.com/jack-smith-2...
Mind-blowing show by Yasmin Williams and Amber Russell at The Get Down in PDX tonight. Unbelievable talent and skill!
He seems nice. And educated.
We're gonna need a truth and reconciliation commission and Nuremberg style trials to reckon with all of this evil, and any Dem candidate for office who shies away from a full reckoning in the name of "moving forward as a nation" can get well and truly fucked
Pssst! VPNs are the last bastions of privacy online and vital for people resisting authoritarian regimes. Pass it on!

Before the Storm by Rick Perlstein. Draws the links between the mid-century conservative thought through the Reagan era.
12. Before the rally, the Republicans said protesters are:
*“Hamas terrorists, illegal aliens, violent criminals.”
*The "most unhinged in the Democratic Party.”
*"Pro-Hamas wing, the antifa people.”
In reality, No Kings featured millions of mostly white, mostly middle-class citizens over 50.
JD Vance says the fact that Biden and Obama haven't been prosecuted (yet) is proof that Trump's DOJ isn't targeting its opponents.
Vance's soul left his body long ago. He's just a robot spewing disinformation at this point.

21. So the more liberals (like Erza Klein but not only Ezra Klein) pursue strategic politics, in the hopes of “turning down the temperature,” the more strategic politics looks like complicity.
They have gone to great lengths and spent endless money to generate chaos and hardship for one catalyzing purpose: to remove constraints on their ability to gather money, and therefore power. And along the way, they have made it increasingly difficult for citizens to fight back.
Republicans have claimed, for my entire life (chalk another one up to Reagan) that big government doesn't work, and can't. The last election gave them the final weapons they needed to fulfill that lie, so they're tearing it down from the inside and claiming that they were right all along.
So they're activating somewhere between 100 and 300 NG troops? I suppose that's enough for a photo opp near the ICE dungeon, but not much else.
Starting to think that this is just revenge for Wyden going after the Epstein money trail. Everything comes back to Epstein eventually.
This isn't serious journalism. If this is what my donations are funding, I will have to rethink my contribution.
