My giddy reaction to news of Victor Orbán’s demise is what’s known as a rehearsal.

People heard. This wasn’t a secret. It just didn’t make national news. YOU didn’t hear - that doesn’t mean they didn’t tell people.

How do you know they didn’t?? We only see this kind of coverage when someone deems it newsworthy and is willing to do the work to find, connect, and amplify the stories. That starts when someone believes an individual woman. The statewide race amps his profile, and thus we finally hear the story.

I have lived in many countries and every single one is "just like us." The food, clothes, and traditions might be different, but every country is full of people who just want to live ordinary, peaceful lives and pursue their passions. And every single one has issues with terrible people in power.

BTW the people who spent the last few years advocating for Palestine were clearly 100% right that normalizing war crimes and genocide there would just increase the likelihood of inhumane actions elsewhere. Just saying.

"What can Democrats do?"

When the South Korean president attempted to declare martial law, South Korean lawmakers literally fought through tanks and military forces and climbed fences to get into their Parliament building to stop him.

So, you know, that.

The Next Coup Attempt And How to Stop It

If you think a Trump electoral false flag terror incident is impossible, keep in mind that Vance arrives in Hungary tomorrow — right in the middle of Orbán’s electoral false flag terror operation, which Vance will presumably endorse.

The president speaks genocide The words, the law, the future

“A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.”
These are the words of the president of the United States, today.
The president speaks genocide. And so we too must speak. Not only about crimes, but about their legal punishment.

Given Trump’s Easter threats to carry out new war crimes in Iran, we should think one or two steps ahead about a coup attempt connected to the war. And then deter it. (1/17)

The Next Coup Attempt And How to Stop It

We are seven months away from the most consequential midterm election in US history. Meanwhile, we are fighting a war. These are the structural conditions for a coup attempt in which a president tries to nullify elections and take permanent power as a dictator.

Border Patrol official Gregory Bovino to retire from federal service, sources say Border Patrol official Gregory Bovino​ was pulled away from a high-profile role leading immigration raids in major U.S. cities, including Minneapolis, earlier this year.

Bring on the prosecutions!

what a crazy night for sam altman to be like "yeah we got that dept of war deal, and there's no moral concerns here"

The MAGA Ellison family is about to buy CNN and hand it to Trump. This is BEYOND concerning.

Courts have ruled 4,400 times that ICE jailed people illegally. It hasn’t stopped. The decisions amount to a huge legal rebuke, but the administration has continued jailing people indefinitely.

Yes it’s Valentine’s Day. But it’s also the chosen birthday of Frederick Douglass who was born in 1818 on a plantation in Talbot County, Maryland. He escaped from slavery & rose to become the most eloquent and forceful voice for the abolition of slavery & for Black voting rights in the U.S.

So, do I have this right? The official Dem response to masked federal agents killing Americans in the streets and abducting people, including children, to put in concentration camps is:

“We need ICE to be more like the rest of the violent, often unaccountable militarized police around the country.”

Trump openly telling America he is moving to steal the November elections and end our democracy.

DHS: Our officer was ambushed and beaten with snow shovels and broom handles. This was an attempted murder of federal law enforcement.

ICE says federal agents appear to have lied about confrontation that led to shooting

Agents had initially said that two men — Alfredo Aljorna and Julio Sosa Celis – assaulted them with a broom and a shovel before one of them shot Sosa Celis. But that account was quickly called into question, and prosecutors now say “newly discovered evidence” contradicts the officers’ story.

The default assumption should be that they’re lying

Believe that they're really ending the surge in Minnesota when people on the ground say it's happened but also *even* if this is nothing but more face saving, it's a huge acknowledgement that they know they're losing and that the people of Minnesota are never going to stop protecting their neighbors

US border czar says immigration crackdown in Minnesota will ‘conclude’ Tom Homan says that Trump has backed ‘significant drawdown’ in the state, where two US citizens have died

The Trump administration said it is ending its deployment of immigration agents to Minnesota. They’re framing it as Minnesota agreeing to cooperate, but most of their statements are false. It’s Minnesotans standing firm and refusing to back down. The resistance only grows. Minnesota strong 💪

Play through the whistle, Minnesota!

This entire administration has very little to no credibility. Homan can talk all he wants. Proof is in the pudding.

ICE MUST GO‼️

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

I 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.
