- And here we are.
- The opening ceremony made me unexpectedly emotional tonight. I think because I was watching a beautiful exhibition of love, peace, inclusion and harmony, which my country is currently not participating in. Some day again.
- Reposted by David PetroffImagine a CEO posting that racist video on their personal account, their chief spokesperson defending it and keeping it up for 12 hours, then blaming a “staffer” for “erroneously” posting it… and neither the CEO nor the spokesperson having to resign.
- This might have been the last time the dunk contest actually mattered. Also Dominique was better in this event. Jordan got the hometown bump.
- 2026 GOP campaign slogan just dropped:
- Reposted by David PetroffThe President shit himself on live TV. Melania bombed. The Epstein files are sending shockwaves through the Alt Right. Liam and his dad are back home. A Texas district that was DEEP red for 35 years flipped blue. Pretti's killers have been identified. Small wins, but you can feel the change coming.
- The next day that happens would be the first.
- Everything he touches dies
- I see we are at the arresting journalists stage of the fascist takeover.
- Reposted by David PetroffI wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free
- Reposted by David PetroffThe starving crocodiles that have been released onto this ship full of children need better training, proper monitoring, and also must cease any unnecessary eating NOW. No children on the lido deck or 1st class should EVER be consumed. That's why I'm voting an additional $44B for crocodiles.
- Never let them off the hook. They know this is bad.
- Gov Greg Abbott (R-TX) openly criticizes ICE and distances himself from their operations in Minnesota, suggesting he things they are a spectacular failure and that the GOP needs to find someone to blame other than the people of Minnesota. www.elpasotimes.com/story/news/2...
- Repeat to yourself when you feel alone: I have friends everywhere. #Andor
- TACO and claim victory. Ignore the devastation and damage left behind. Same as it ever was.
- Reposted by David PetroffThis can’t be repeated enough. Not only won’t they investigate, they may never even tell us who did this. Think about the message that sends to the next ones. Nobody is safe.
- Reposted by David PetroffWe have reached the point where any statement made by a Trump administration official must be assumed to be a lie until proven otherwise.
- The good news is we can probably end the whole affair if someone just hands him a paper bag with $50K in it.

- Reposted by David PetroffOn both the Renee Good and Alex Pretti situations: If the federal agents ever had to go under oath in front of jury questioned by a real lawyers about what they did they would get absolutely destroyed. They are only getting away with this because the govt won’t allow that.
- Reposted by David Petroffi think this attitude — that all opposition is illegitimate and nothing we do can be questioned— is probably pervasive in the white house and helps explain why they keep making terrible political choices
- Shit isn’t changing until a critical mass of Republican lawmakers say “enough is enough”. I doubt there is enough collective spine among them.
- Hey there media and journalists. When it’s a lie, call it a lie.

- It’s not law enforcement if they are breaking the law.
- Reposted by David PetroffIt’s -9 degrees. Downtown Minneapolis is packed for the anti-ICE rally and the crowd keeps growing
- I tend to believe we do not need to fund an undertrained, undervetted, secret police force that willfully ignores the laws of the nation in order to detain 5-year old children and shoot mothers in the face.
- Reposted by David PetroffIt’s so interesting that the comet pizza-Q-Anon folks have disappeared just as their deeply held concerns about a widespread elite child trafficking conspiracy has been proven correct

- Reposted by David PetroffThe is the biggest national embarrassment in American history.
- Reposted by David PetroffThe choice is impeachment and removal or calamity for the United States. I don't see how anybody watching Trump's speech in Davos can draw any other conclusion. He's a senile madman.
- No trust me, we got it.

- Yes. This articulates what I’ve always felt.
- This is biggest thing to happen in Bloomington since the Cutters won the Little 500.
- Can’t think of anywhere I would like to be less than where @nauerbach.com is.
- Reposted by David PetroffHalf the battle with this guy is just reiterating government can and already does good things that are so ubiquitous they’ve become invisible. He’s able to remind you in a way that you understand that good government can exist outside of a 24/7 vengeance operation, and in NYC already does.
- When the people of Wisconsin traded Feingold for Johnson that was the biggest own goal we could have ever created.
- He learned territorial law from playing Risk.

- They could leave. That would do it.

- Reposted by David PetroffAOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

- They're trying to turn Minnesota into District 13.
- And when is Trump subpoenaed?

- You can guarantee every pitcher she ever faced would love to go back and throw a fastball right in her ribs.
- Reposted by David PetroffBrandon McManus made fewer that half of his kicks in the 40 yd range this year. It’s not the Packers coaches’ fault he missed his kicks yesterday, but it is the organization’s fault that he was their kicker to begin with.
- Reposted by David PetroffDoc Rivers: "What happened in Minnesota was a straight-up murder"
- Reposted by David PetroffThis kind of thing does point out a real ethical dilemma: block or mute?
- Reposted by David PetroffA Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.
- Because NFL seeding is dumb.
- More of this.

- Reposted by David PetroffThe “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.
- No. He said controlled himself. That’s not the same.
- Reposted by David PetroffThis is the kind of thing that the Founders explicitly designed our constitution to prevent; a president who has seized wealth for his own benefit without any intervention from Congress, which in our system is supposed to be the holder of the power of the purse.
- Yes
- Reposted by David PetroffFive years ago, Donald Trump instigated a violent insurrection in the Capitol to prevent Congress from certifying Joe Biden the winner of the 2020 election. The fact that the GOP coddled him, protected him, renominated him, and now support him in office, is a stain that will never be erased.
- Reposted by David PetroffThe American people electing Trump after he staged a coup attempt 5 years ago was a nail in the coffin of our democracy. You can rationalize it all you want - But inflation! But wokeness! - but ultimately it was a societal suicide attempt and probably the dumbest collective voting decision ever made
- Do we often kill 40 people in an arrest operation?
- Yeah I think I’ve become pretty adept at identifying the members of Congress we can’t trust.
- That’s how we arrive here.
- We are the bad guys.
