- Reposted by William LeisnerEvery damn day he does something crazy and the entire MAGA leadership bends over backwards to pretend it wasn't crazy and to explain it away. And then a few hours go by and he comes out and says "no, I did the crazy thing on purpose." And repeat. And the media never seems to remember that.
- Reposted by William LeisnerI suspect there are a lot of House Democrats in their 70s or 80s who think they're going to coast back into a comfortable leadership position by keeping their head down and riding the blue wave, but they're going to have to navigate these kinds of challenges first and most are not ready at all.

She began to unravel soon after arriving at a detention center in Texas, wetting the bed after years without accidents, crying through the night and begging to breastfeed again. Most of all, she wanted to be reunited with her cat, Milo. 1/
- Reposted by William LeisnerUPDATE: The court granted Ramos' family a continuance at today’s asylum hearing, per school officials in his district. "Today’s ruling provides additional time, and with that, continued uncertainty for a child and his family," says Zena Stenvik, superintendent of Columbia Heights public schools.

Nathan Empsall. “What you are voting for is not moral.”

- Reposted by William LeisnerAfter many instances of the Trump administration lying to the courts as well as flouting dozens of court orders Judges are beginning to realize that it is, in fact, a criminal organization.
- Reposted by William LeisnerVA Gov. Spanberger (moderate, was in CIA) and NYC Mayor Mamdani (left, is in DSA) both taking steps to block local law enforcement from helping ICE as it violently violates people's rights is a good example of how the relevant divide in the Dem coalition isn't center-left, it's fight-don't fight.

- *checks ticket* "Wait, I thought this was the southbound train! Shit, let me off!"
- It's like there's some sort of "most reprehensible" competition being run out of Whipple.
- Reposted by William LeisnerSo, first of all, of course it was Trump. But even if they were telling the truth, "We give staffers who post videos of the Obamas as apes access to the agenda-setting, decree-sending, market-moving account of the president of the United States" is not the exculpatory statement they think it is.
- Reposted by William LeisnerWas the post that was made from Trump’s account promising to “rescue” protesters in Iran before they will killed posted by a staffer? Were the tariff threats that moved markets? Threats to members of Congress and media? How do we know if any posts are from the President?
- Reposted by William LeisnerWoke 2 is firing on all cylinders and ahead of schedule, I didn't have "the president has to retract his nakedly racist social media posts" on the calendar until july

- Reposted by William LeisnerSay what you will about ol' Amy, but accepting an award from a guy who specifically said he will do nothing to oppose the ICE agents who are currently brutalizing your constituents is a brilliant move. Now no conservative can say you're not tough on crime!

- Reposted by William Leisnerover the next 3 years, be ready for seeing a lot of coverage of Republican lawmakers, business leaders, university leaders who did absolutely nothing to stall Trump (on the contrary) — about how *actually* they were wringing their hands all along. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/05/u...

- Reposted by William LeisnerIf 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.
- Reposted by William LeisnerThe transcript of the MN hearing where an AUSA said “This job sucks” is remarkable for more reasons than that. It’s a searing portrait of a crisis perpetrated by depraved & oblivious high-level officials. Read it all. ... 1/7 www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

- Reposted by William LeisnerSpanberger is a moderate Democrat who used to work for the C.I.-fucking-A. It should put the actions of Schumer and Jeffries into perspective for everyone. Are they Republicans? Because they sure act like it. They need to get the fuck out.
- Reposted by William LeisnerNot enough. Every single ICE and CBP agent should be out of Minnesota. The terror campaign must stop. ICE must be abolished.

- Reposted by William Leisneragain we do not really do a good job of explaining how wealthy people like Jeff Bezos are his net worth is $253.2 billion. so he could take one million dollars, and just light it on fire and then do it again tomorrow and again the day after that and then do it every day for 693 years and 8 months
- Reposted by William LeisnerWait wait wait, this "drawdown" is because sheriffs agreed to break state law to help DHS with nazi crimes on the stipulation their legal costs are covered when people rightly say hey fucko thats illegal? This isn't a drawdown, it is just replacing some DHS goons with regular cops
- Reposted by William Leisner#Minneapolis Personal Me: This is so much b.s. This AM, neighbors on my friend’s block foiled a kidnapping despite being assaulted and gassed. A school bus driver had to block the door to keep them from entering the bus while they were at it. 4 legal observers were kidnapped near us yesterday. 😡
- Reposted by William Leisneri keep seeing "protestors" referred to again and again in ICE coverage and I wish the media would understand that is right-wing framing and just call them what they actually are which is *residents*
- Reposted by William LeisnerPulling 700 agents out of Minnesota is nothing—if it's even true. Tom Homan, the man who took $50k in fast-food bag from undercover FBI, is a liar and a crook. There should be exactly three DHS/ICE/CBP agents in Minnesota: the three who are in jail without bail for murder. End the occupation.
- Reposted by William Leisneralways bears repeating that this is NOT a financial decision. jeff bezos is worth over 250 billion dollars. he can afford to lose many millions and never even notice it. this is, at its core, a political and personal decision by bezos to destroy the post
