- Reposted by MikeOh is woke back? Has it risen from the dead? Did the people rise like lions after slumber in unvanquishable number? Is the old world dying? Is the new world struggling to be born? Babe, wake up, now is the time of monsters.
- Listen, in light of Platner - I’m advocating that white dudes running for political office have to do at least one hot tub interview with Zach Galifianakis or if he’s not available that guy from the hot take train interviews.
- You know what else came down and crashed the system? A Worthy Sacrifice - the original AWS - Jesus Christ
- @govpritzker.illinois.gov talks big when it comes to stopping Trumps overreach but can’t seem to rein in his own state police.
- Police escalated the situation here in Broadview incredibly quickly. Saw multiple brutal arrests. ISP jabbing protesters with their batons like battering rams. Here ISP lifts @katmabu.bsky.social by her feet to flip her over a concrete barrier.
- Reposted by Mikeit really is astonishing how quickly it goes from “civil war” and “blood in the streets” to “wow guys it’s just a sad tragedy” when it becomes inconvenient
- Reposted by MikeWSJ just retracted its report that the shooter’s ammo was engraved with “transgender and anti-fascist ideology.” It smelled like bullshit from the beginning, and every conservative who ran with it should be shamed into obscurity.
- Reposted by MikeSo after two straight days of Republicans saying trans people and the Left did this, threatening full on violence, it turns out the suspect is a politically unaffiliated white dude who was trained to use guns by his Republican law enforcement dad? Do I have that right?
- Reposted by MikeThe Wall Street Journal needs to issue a full retraction and apology to the trans community for this. Nothing less will suffice. They put us all in danger and recklessly put out incorrect information.
- Reposted by MikeOssoff: "There is at some point is going to be a reckoning for all of this. These folks who are working at these private prison companies who are on Kristi Noem's staff right now, they are at some point going to have to testify under oath about what is happening in the facilities they're running."
- Reposted by MikeIt is increasingly clear that the majority of federal law enforcement officers do little or no real work, hence having the time and resources to do what they've been doing under Trump. Whole agencies need to be zeroed out, with employees sued to pay back salaries and benefits wrongly obtained.
- I don’t want to incentivize billionaires to do the right thing like pampered little Fauntleroys. They should be met with legal demands and statutes that don’t rely on their questionable goodwill. Tax them, force corporations to pay living wages. Wealth hoarding is a societal and moral failing.
- Reposted by MikeI don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
- Reposted by Miketrump should’ve been in handcuffs in jan 2021 and there is no way to quantify just how much human suffering will result from the disastrous decision to slow walk his prosecution or even avoid it altogether
- Reposted by MikeWow. So he votes to gut Medicaid and throw 17 million people off of their healthcare and then dumps his Medicaid related stock to cover his own ass? That’s just evil and cruel.
- Reposted by Mikecrush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of their consultants
- Reposted by MikeDemocratic politicians & consultants should spend less time yapping about the effect of random leftist social media posts on their branding, and more time dealing with the Democratic Senator taking a pro-Trump position with a mere 16% popular support then adding, for flair, the language of genocide.
- Reposted by Mike"Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Virginia) on Monday filed a joint resolution to Congress to “direct the removal” of the U.S. armed forces from any involvement in Israel’s war on Iran, and to prevent a unilateral decision by President Donald Trump to enter the war." good. every democrat should back him.
- Reposted by MikeThe stupidest people are in charge because we couldn’t prosecute a political crime because it would look too political.
- Reposted by MikeMine eyes have seen the glory of the strolling of the dudes They ambled up the street today before the crowds so few There wasnt much to see maybe an abram tank or two This parade is kinda mid Glory glory what a bullshit way to serve
- Reposted by MikeThat arc toward justice won't bend itself
- Reposted by MikeWe know what we have to do to save our city from Andrew Cuomo. We're cross endorsing 🤝 @bradlander.bsky.social
- Reposted by MikeIf you're not bringing Articles of Impeachment to remove Noem, or you're not going to grind the Senate completely to a halt, then really, don't bother. We don't need speeches.
- Reposted by Mikethis is a good wake up call for elected Dems to realize what’s happening and what’s going to happen not generally, not in the abstract, but to them personally shut it all down and start acting like you’re in immediate danger, because you are
- Reposted by MikeThey should shut down the Senate until Noem and several layers of DHS leadership are removed
- @democrats.senate.gov it’s time for y’all to quit pretending this is normal. do something. No more votes, obstruct procedure in any way possible, if it could happen to @padilla.senate.gov it could happen to any of you.
- Reposted by MikeMove to hold the agents who assaulted a sitting senator in contempt of Congress. Call for articles of impeachment against Noem. Stop working on crypto legislation. Demonstrate the stakes of what is happening in LA with your actions.
- Reposted by MikeIt’s completely insane that US troops are illegally deployed to suppress domestic opposition and it’s not uniformly condemned by the press and political elite.
- Reposted by MikePossible 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..."
- Reposted by MikeEvery flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.
- Reposted by MikeI will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.
- Reposted by Mikei think southern baptists should probably consider a ban on being led by child predators
- Southern Baptists overwhelmingly endorse a ban on gay marriage — including a call for reversing the Supreme Court's precedent legalizing it nationwide. Read more: cnn.it/45jI6R9
- Reposted by MikeProtests across the country are a sign of weakness. Attempting to turn the military against the American people 6 months into your term is a sign of weakness. Don’t believe the anti-anti-Trump people in both parties who have always been in awe of Trump. They’re still wrong.
- Reposted by MikeDemocratic politicians and liberal pundits bemoaning the LA protests need to understand that as *their* failure. None of this would be happening if they had offered effective resistance to mass deportation (extraordinary rendition, in truth) instead of considering undocumented people expendable.
- Reposted by MikeIf a Democrat takes Musk money I won't vote for them, it's that simple. Nope fuck you sorry done.
- Reposted by MikeThe important CNN story on the left, published for Memorial Day, is locked behind a paywall. The Fox News propaganda on the right is free to all. See the problem with our media and information environment?
- Reposted by Mikethe deportations are not final. the regime and security forces fuck up constantly. escape and survival are not just possible but probable. this nightmare engine can be fought and is being fought. don't forget.
- Reposted by MikeThis passed 215-214. We're going to lose our healthcare because 3 senior Dems have died this year. We lost Roe because Ginsburg didn't retire. We lost the election because Joe ran for reelection. Our country is being destroyed because geriatric Dems can't retire and let go of power.
- The Republican-passed “big beautiful bill” takes away health insurance coverage from ALL transgender people, regardless of age. HRC President Kelley Robinson calls it "cruel." www.advocate.com/politics/ant...
- Reposted by Mikei think it should be a bigger story that the president held a meeting with a foreign head of state where he ranted about the most gutter white supremacist propaganda you can find on the internet
- Reposted by MikeNewsletter: We are in the era of the Business Idiot, where middle management has seized power, breeding out true meritocracy and value-creation in favor of symbolic growth and superficial intelligence.

- Reposted by Mike“Abolish ICE” is the moderate position. Radical is “prosecute every ICE employee under RICO.”

- Relevant to some back and forths I’ve had on here. Yeah - we need to primary these people. 13 terms is enough. I don’t want this guy running the oversight committee.
- Reposted by MikeProvidence City Councilor Justin Roias: “Yesterday, ICE tased & detained a Providence resident with a pregnant U.S. citizen wife & a green card interview that same day.”
- Reposted by Mike"Abolish ICE" and "defund the police" are both reasonable and correct on the merits but were absolutely neutered by centrists smearing them as radical activist overreach.
- Reposted by Mike"ICE is a rogue federal agency operating with impunity-destabilizing families, terrorizing neighborhoods, and eroding the very principles of justice it claims to defend. What happened yesterday ... is not an accident-it is the deliberate outcome of a system sliding deeper into authoritarianism."
- Reposted by MikeFully on board with dems running for office promising to reinstate fired federal employees and jail this administration’s various criminals, but let’s go ahead and add “we will seize by eminent domain any national parkland sold to developers”
- Reposted by MikeThe default Dem position should be that nothing under Trump is valid. Trump didn't honor his predecessors' agreements. He didn't even honor his own trade agreements. He didn't honor Congressional appropriations. He doesn't follow laws. Clean slate. If you rely on him, your loss.
