wow -- with Trump standing behind him, a man (not sure who he is) offers this prayer: "We pray that he would be mindful of the poor and that he would be invested in the alleviation of suffering happening in the families preparing to bury their loved ones in Minneapolis."
His enemies spend a lot of time attacking that Mamdani’s a “social democrat.”
What makes him special, I think, is that he’s an authentically moral person with empathy.
That’s sadly rare in politics these days.
Mamdani: "I speak of Renee Good, whose final words to the man who murdered her were, 'I'm not mad at you.' I speak of Alex Pretti who died as he lived, caring for the stranger. ICE shot him bc he did something they could never fathom ... let us offer a new path: one of defiance through compassion."
Stephen Miller went from doing TV hits 24/7 to the witness protection program. Not that I mind, but it’s pretty obvious someone has figured out that his face, his voice, his words and his deeds disgusts every non-MAGA cultist in America. I’m sure he’ll be back though.
An internet search looking for articles of large media outlets who have reported on the president posting a video depicting the Obamas as primates should leave you disgusted with large media outlets. There are a few who did stories, but not many. I guess nothing matters anymore.
They didn’t delete the meme or blame a staffer because they realized it was racist and the right thing to do.
They didn’t because of public outrage.
They did it because Republican senators FINALLY spoke out and they backed down.
There’s a lesson in that if they will learn it.
Demonstrating that Trump believes his cult will believe anything he tells them to believe, the White House announced that the shockingly racist meme posted on Trump's Truth Social account was posted by "a White House staffer."
It was posted in the middle of the night, so which "staffer" is that?
ICE is no longer an immigration enforcement agency. It has become Trump’s domestic army.
If my “conservative” colleagues truly believe in small government, they should join us in demanding an end to masked federal agents terrorizing communities across this country.
When we talk about authoritarianism, it’s not just Donald Trump.
Musk owns X
Bezos owns Twitch
Zuckerberg owns Instagram and Facebook
Larry Ellison controls TikTok
Billionaires increasingly control what we see, hear and read.
This is what oligarchy looks like:
Elon Musk, the wealthiest man alive, spent $290 million to elect Trump.
Since Election Day, Musk became $548 billion richer while his companies (SpaceX & Tesla) paid $0 in federal income taxes last year after making $13.7 billion in profits.
What should alarm us about the Epstein files isn’t just the appalling details, which are horrific and criminal.
It’s that here is a growing sense that there is small number of elite who see themselves as above the law.
If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.
Democracy dies in oligarchy.
A publisher who lays off a reporter whose pen is freezing because she's covering a frigid war zone while dodging missiles is not an editor you want to work for, in a more perfect world
James Comer is bringing Hillary Clinton before his committee to testify about Epstein despite having zero contact with him, but not Epstein’s neighbor Howard Lutnick who lied about his connections to Epstein over many years which is proven in the files.
02/03/26 AM! You can put me on mute & block me. I don't care. I'll not stop! There're NO Civil Rights in Trump & Kimberly Richey’s Deranged America! I'll repeat this Every Day until Reality Sinks In. No children's rights, women's rights, disability rights, minority rights! 150 yrs gone! Get Louder!
Leigh Wambsganns devoted her professional life to Trump and his movement.
On Friday, he seemed to reward her loyalty by endorsing her campaign for Texas senate.
But after she lost a safe GOP seat by double digits, Trump says he’s never heard of her: “What can I say? I have nothing to do with it.”
Q: In Texas, a Democrat won a special election in an area you won by 17 points. Your reaction?
TRUMP: I don't know. I didn't hear about it. Somebody ran -- where?
Q: In Texas
TRUMP: I'm not involved. You mean I won by 17, and this person lost? Things like that happen. I'm not on the ballot
Unreal. He’s shutting down the Kennedy Center, after his flunkies caused mass defections of artists?
Everything the man touches turns to ash. Our cultural heritage; destroyed. Our national treasures; plundered.
Trump: "I have determined that the fastest way to bring The Trump Kennedy Center to the highest level of Success, Beauty, and Grandeur, is to cease Entertainment Operations for an approximately two year period of time, with a scheduled Grand Reopening that will rival and surpass anything."
This is a 31 point swing, y’all!
Like every state in the nation, Texans hate what the Trump regime is doing — stripping our healthcare, jobs, affordability, education, safety net, and the shredding of our constitution.
And we want brownshirt #ICEoffOurStreets NOW.
This video warrants reposting again & again. ICE is not slowing down in MN. They’re just changing tactics that you must be aware of.
Please, please listen and pass this on.
#StandTogether#Pinks#ProudBlue#OneV1
ICE and CBP agents seem to enjoy gratuitously breaking glass—from car windows to store fronts to homes. It’s an expression of unchecked power and dominance: “We’re in charge. We break and shatter what we want.”
And nights of broken glass have been a harbinger of worse to come.
DHS should be embarrassed that their ICE agent hires are so soft they can’t handle being videotaped, even while masked, so they resort to pepper spraying women at close range.
And we should be proud of the Santa Barbara women who stood their ground anyway.
I'm skimming through mentions of Trump in the Trump-Epstein Files, and there's one thing that I'm thinking over and over:
All we had to do was believe the women.
There are dozens of stories in here that make me ill. Do you really believe these are all lies?
It's near-white out conditions in Chicago as the snow comes down, and tonight's anti-ICE/CBP rally is wrapping up in front of city hall.
But not before the crowd bounces and chants, "I believe that we will win!"
Mockler: Do you agree with Kristi Noem’s characterization that she made, like an hour after Alex Pretti was murdered?
Seat: Can you just wait until the investigation is done?
Mockler: That's such a good point. Can you say that to Kristi Noem?
MINNEAPOLIS: “Thousands and thousands— the people of Minneapolis are not letting up. Despite Tom Homan saying there’s a drawdown, these people don’t believe it. They want ICE OUT COMPLETELY.”
#GVerse#Minneapolis In an attempt by this regime to divide the nation and turn us against one another, it appears the country is instead beginning to unite against the regime.
Now if only Congress would do the same.
ICE’s tactics have been terrifying and tragic, but Minneapolis is responding in incredible ways. Residents are organizing, feeding and housing their neighbors, and putting real social infrastructure in place. What’s taking shape isn’t just a reaction, it’s a blueprint for resistance.
MINNESOTA — Mom goes outside to warm up her car, ICE grabs her: "Please, my car kids are all alone in the house!”
So nothing has changed and Homan was just to put a new face on the cruelty, got it
(H/T longtimehistory)
Puppy k1ller could have said "no, I don't want this so-called job" and left the regime. She did nothing of the kind. #endthegop as no "party" deserves to politically survive this.
A retired Minneapolis couple who had guns pointed at them by ICE in a church parking lot.
"They were obviously not trained at all. I've known many police officers in my life. These people were right off the streets."
"They had the professional demeanor of criminals."
