As an American, there are always disappointments to register and arguments to engage; amid the chaos of our battered, monied attempt at self-governance, dissent is constant.
But this feeling of being utterly ashamed of America and embarrassed to the core by its president is new, raw and unnerving.
At one point in this video the agents throw the guy to the ground, but one of the agents is in a bad position so he smashes his own head on the pavement and appears to give himself a concussion or some head injury.
The defunding of public media, the gutting of the Washington Post and LA Times, and the cancelation of Stephen Colbert by Paramount is all connected. It's part of a hostile takeover of our entire information space by the oligarchs.

Post from JD Vance that says Everything else-—the CBO score, the proper baseline, the minutiae of the Medicaid policy-is immaterial compared to the ICE money and immigration enforcement provisions.
Oh nothing nothing just the Vice President of the United States saying aloud the truth.
In the MAGA system, cutting people’s healthcare is mere minutiae as long as you can keep up with your mass deportations and fund your concentration camps.

Imagine thinking your Heavenly Father has an interest in healing the division between two billionaire assholes who have ~20 children with ~8 different women.
I'd put this a bit more sharply than @steveinskeep.bsky.social probably can: Trump simply does not understand any boundary between himself and the government. He has no sense of the public interest and believes the government is an extension of himself personally. open.substack.com/pub/steveins...
Hey look everybody! Mad King Donald has decided Veterans Day doesn't exist anymore and now its "WWI Victory Day". 🙄
So many things Trump has done are confoundingly self-destructive unless you remember a major part of the plan for after January 6 was creating the conditions for mass civil unrest in order to justify invoking the Insurrection Act
Under Stephen Miller's premiership it will be the "Work Sets You Free Progress Administration"
If you don't want to see this horrible garbage happen in every future high-stakes election, make sure it demonstrably fails in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race by helping elect Susan Crawford
Banks are salivating over the idea of ransacking the mail service as Louis DeJoy resigns as postmaster. Per one analysis, privatization would raise postage prices, potentially doubling them, while also leading to mass layoffs.
I guess I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore. Fuck decorum. danieldrezner.substack.com/p/american-f...
This is absolutely one of the craziest things I’ve ever seen in American politics. “People who get social security won’t mind if the government misses a month.” —> That’s a thing this man said as though it could possibly be in the realm of anything like reality.
A competent Democratic Party would have this clip all over the airwaves and social media inside of 24 hours.
BREAKING: A federal judge temporarily blocked the Trump administration from deporting immigrants under the Alien Enemies Act immediately after we filed our lawsuit.
President Trump is not above the law.
BREAKING: Thousands of New Yorkers are marching to #StopTheCuts. Members of Rise and Resist and @bkindivisible.bsky.social carry tombstones to represent the two trillion (with a T) in cuts to healthcare and medicaid.
RIP. Killed by “Government Efficiency” ☠️

Today, Twitter/X, run by an enemy of democracy in the service of an enemy of Canada, is controlled by a government that is explicitly attempting to annex our country.
It’s high time the Canadian government banned the anti-Canadian propaganda machine X.

Zelenskyy responding to statements of support from world leaders
Starmer’s quiet thus far will have been noted
Zelenskyy understands Trump better than anyone asking this question
I've been in Washington for 32 years. I have often disagreed with U.S. administrations. But this is the first time in all that time that I believe the U.S. government is an enemy of the people of the United States and our allies.
“U.S. Food and Drug Administration employees reviewing Elon Musk’s brain implant company Neuralink were fired over the weekend as part of a broader purge of the federal workforce”
Watching ordinary Americans discover what it means to live without the rule of law in real time.
It feels like we're riding in an airplane that's been commandeered by a group of super stoned 18 year old bros who think they're just playing a video game...as they sit in the very real cockpit pushing one button after another just to see what happens while we all hold on for dear life.
Basically, all of Kash Patel's hearing was like this:
Dem Sen: You said on the "Tightest Whitie Podcast," quote, 'I'm going to use the FBI to hunt down Trump's enemies, period, full stop, it's as simple as that, no more, no less." Is that your intent?
Patel: That was taken out of context.
