How can this go on for another 3 years?

20 years ago this statement would spawn multiple Michael Moore documentaries

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

Please read.

Future headline: "Democrats demand legislation that avatar-based healthcare must be run only from US data centers"

Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum.

Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum.

Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum.

ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.

General strike now.

Incredible, no notes

The uncomfortable truth is that the president of the United States is a man with the mind of a spoiled child. His debilitating solipsism is a threat to the stability of the entire world. A functional Congress would impeach and remove him. But the Republican majority is in a codependent relationship with the president, unable to separate his identity from that of their party. And the president’s advisers are either cowed supplicants desperate to please or scheming viziers eager to use his power for their own ends. There is no one, then, to pressure Trump to resign like there was for Nixon. In John McTiernan’s 1990 film adaptation of “The Hunt for Red October,” Fred Thompson, in the years before he was elected as a Republican senator from Tennessee, delivers a haunting warning as he, and Alec Baldwin’s Jack Ryan, observe a deadly naval disaster. “This business will get out of control. It will get out of control and we’ll be lucky to live through it.” We have three years left with a mad king. It does not feel sustainable.

Congressman Shri Thanedar @RepShriThanedar A baby was hospitalized after being tear gassed by ICE. The family was not illegal, and not even protesting—just driving home from their son's basketball game. This can't be reformed. Time to abolish ICE.

Every Dem should be saying it

Federal agents allegedly drive off with baby in car after father detained in Cypress Park raid The father, who is a U.S. citizen, was detained for allegedly throwing rocks at agents. He says agents then drove off in his car, with his 1-year-old daughter in the backseat.

"Federal agents allegedly drive off with baby in car after father detained in Cypress Park raid."

This is 10th-grader Arnoldo Bazan.

A citizen.

Immigration agents grabbed him and put him in a chokehold.

"We're from the United States bro!' he screamed.

Agents took and sold his phone

And when he finally got home hours later, his shirt was ripped, he neck had angry, red welts, and he sobbed.

The boy holding a bag of haribo confectionary is questioned by a masked IcE agent while three others with weapons stand by

The boy has head bowed, holding his confectionary, as he is taken away.

A teenage boy was walking home in Minneapolis yesterday when four masked men jumped out of a van & questioned him - with no parent or guardian present.

He was bundled into the van & taken away.

Bystanders heard the boy say: “Can I just go home?”

I don’t know how America comes back from all this.

It would take a two-word amendment to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 to subject ICE agents and other federal law enforcement officers to the same liability for constitutional violations that local and state officers currently face.

If Congress actually cared about what it's seeing, it could pass that overnight.

Democrats bring gift cards to knife fights

Woman comes to US at age 6. Graduates nursing school. Work permit. No criminal record. Snatched and imprisoned by ICE for 6 months now. About to be forced back to Honduras. A life destroyed and one less nurse. Merry Christmas.

Wow. Tracy Beth Høeg, the FDA's new acting director of the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) just put this slide up during her presentation to ACIP.

We have left reality.

Dublin suburb shops in the '80s were pun central

we have got to destroy ICE and salt the earth

I will not vote for any federal candidate who doesn’t vow to abolish ICE

I will not vote for any state or local candidate who doesn’t agree to fight ICE

Millionaire Tax That Inspired Mamdani Fuels $5.7 Billion Haul in Massachusetts A millionaire levy in Massachusetts that New York City mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani holds up as a model for taxing the rich has generated $3 billion more in revenue than expected without forcing...

NEW: The first two years of Massachusetts' millionaire tax has raised $3 billion more than expected.

And rather than driving the rich away, IPS researchers found that the number of millionaires has *increased.*

Tax the rich. Greg Ryan in @bloomberg.com:

There’s a young southern woman on tt doing an experiment: calling churches & asking if they can help her get baby formula, saying she can’t afford it. Of the 30+ she’s called, nearly every church has said no. The ones who said yes were:

Black Baptist Churches
A Mosque
A small Appalachian church

Europeans recognize Zohran Mamdani’s supposedly radical policies as ‘normal’ Critics of New York City’s mayor-elect have said his pledges of free bus service and universal childcare are unrealistic, but in Europe it’s a given

"Europeans recognize his vision about free public transit and universal childcare. We expect our governments to make these kinds of services accessible to all of us,” said Verbeek. “We pay higher taxes and get civilized societies in return."

As great as the results are, I am not thrilled about the back-patting which Dem party leadership will do next, as if they had done anything to deserve it. Today represents a rejection of Trump and MAGA horrors, not a run towards the Dem party as supporters of the working class and social welfare.

Extremely efficient terminal layout here at Newark airport

The little eye monster in Alien should have been named the Optopus, thank you I will not be taking questions at this time
