Burgum on Greenland: "President Trump, the greatest dealmaker in the world -- world leaders meet him, they like him. He's never met the premier of Greenland before ... President Trump is absolutely right -- [Greenland] needs to be in control of someone who's even stronger than NATO. That's the USA."

I guess Covid cautious or immunocompromised people aren't allowed to protest. But it's ok for ICE to run around in balaclavas like assholes

Deported Cuban mother separated from breastfeeding 1-year-old daughter Cuban mother Heidy Sanchez collapsed into tears as she recalled the moment last week when U.S. immigration officials in Florida told her she would be deported and separated from her still-breastfeeding 1-year-old daughter.

They are sick fuckers and we should say so www.reuters.com/world/americ...

I don't know who needs to hear this, but EVERY FUCKING RETAILER needs to show the tariffs next to the price -- not just Amazon.

Walmart, Target, ALL OF THEM. It's a fucking tax, why shouldn't we see it?

I want to know exactly how much trump's tariffs are jacking my prices up. DON'T YOU?

this is straightforwardly concentration camp stuff.

just in very plain terms: we send people to camps now if we, the government, deem it necessary, without due process. you can file a habeas petition in the united states district court with jurisdiction over el salvador, i guess.

Brian Kilmeade calls for the end of due process: "It's not practical to think we can do due process on 8 million people ... if we're gonna give every one of these guys a day in a court and a lawyer, we can't do it. They don't deserve it."

Famously, the way to beat fascist bullies is to flop onto your back and say β€œmy vital organs are exposed, take what you want.” Certainly they will stop at the first vital organ.

The ACA was cool because it got 24 million people on to Medicaid.

This isn’t even vaguely acceptable.

Musk Retweets β€˜Hitler Didn’t Murder Millions’ Message Amid Ongoing Nazi Controversy Musk and Tesla have faced heightened criticism since the billionaire made a gesture likened to a Nazi salute during an inaugural event in January.

Elon is an unrepentant Nazi sympathizer, and this is simply a matter of fact

Trade unionists everywhere, defenders of the Constitution, of freedom of speech, of academic freedom, and of the right of free association, should be appalled and disgusted by the behavior of Columbia University, and should take it for the clear signal it is.

Bernie Sanders: "If you do nothing, you sit back and say, 'it's gonna be terrible.' And that's right. A shutdown will be terrible. But our job is to put the onus on the Republican president, the Republican House, the Republican Senate, the people who control the govt"

That measure just passed, with all House Republicans except Massie and Arrington voting aye. House Republicans are preemptively surrendering Congress' authority to revoke Trump's tariffs. They know about the economic risks here, and they know exactly what they are doing. bsky.app/profile/did:...

In 2009 GOP Member of Congress Joe Wilson screamed β€œyou lie” during Obama’s SOTU. No censure by the GOP, only β€œreprimanded” by Dems

At Biden’s SOTU 2022 Lauren Boebert and MTG heckled him, nothing..

But Dems will happily throw their Black colleague under a bus for white moderate voter pandering

Will never cease to amaze and appall that pretty much every USA problem can be boiled down to β€œwe didn’t want Black people to have it too so we rather not have it at all”.

Gavin Newsom can be reached by phone at (916) 445-2841 or messaged here if you'd like to tell him exactly what you think about his transphobic bullshit.

How Trump’s Immigration Crackdown Could Fuel a Prison Labor Boom Lacking an available pool of migrant labor, the United Stated has historically turned to another vulnerable groupβ€”incarcerated people.

β€œThe shift from forced labor… laid the groundwork for the contemporary reliance on incarcerated people to fill labor shortages, not just in prisons but in industries like agriculture”

7 in 10 US farmworkers are foreign born; 40+% are undocumented

The Trump deportations will be BIG for prison labor

EPA tells White House to strike down landmark climate finding The Trump administration is weighing whether to repeal the β€œendangerment finding,” which states that greenhouse gases pose a threat to public health and welfare.

Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin has privately urged the White House to strike down a scientific finding underpinning much of the federal government’s push to combat climate change.

This is extremely, extremely bad.

Our legal system cannot function if the govt retaliates β€” and if courts allow it to retaliate β€” against lawyers who take matters the govt disfavors.
