FYI: Judge Ellis (Chicago ICE case) noted in November that video evidence shows ICE "brake-checked other motorists in an attempt to force accidents that agents could then use as justifications for deploying force."
MAKE IT HAPPEN! NOW!

Jacob Frey: "To ICE -- get the fuck out of Minneapolis"
Remarkable statement from an elected official.
Frey: I have a message for ICE: Get the fuck out of Minneapolis
@chrislhayes.bsky.social: Trump “will try to take what he wants—that's true whether it's in a department store dressing room, or a majority of the American electorate telling him no, or the head of a sovereign foreign state telling him no, or our NATO allies, or the courts, or the Constitution.”
To parents across America...of every party and none...Donald Trump is steering the country toward decisions that could get tens of thousands of U.S. service members...your sons and daughters...slaughtered. Not for defense. Not for necessity. But to satisfy his ego.
I am pleased to announce that the Interim Authorities in Venezuela will be turning over between 30 and 50 MILLION Barrels of High Quality, Sanctioned Oil, to the United States of America. This Oil will be sold at its Market Price, and that money will be controlled by me, as President of the United States of America, to ensure it is used to benefit the people of Venezuela and the United States! I have asked Energy Secretary Chris Wright to execute this plan, immediately. It will be taken by storage ships, and brought directly to unloading docks in the United States. Thank you for your attention to this matter! DONALD J. TRUMP PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
If Trump is really stealing spending power from Congress then it would be insanity for Democrats to vote to fund the government later this month. Shut it down until the president stops wiping his ass with the Constitution.
The Trump admin is freezing ~$10B in social services & child care funding in five Dem-led states, alleging fraud, with no proof. The cuts hit TANF ($7B+), child care ($2B+), & social services ($870M) in CA, CO, IL, MN, and NY. If you want to hurt working families, this is how.
This is fucking nuts.
North Korea would be embarrassed by this propaganda

🚨BREAKING: The Department of Justice sued Arizona and Connecticut Tuesday, expanding its unprecedented campaign to force states to turn over their unredacted voter rolls.
The two new lawsuits bring the DOJ’s tally to 23 states and Washington D.C. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
As if we all don’t have eyes and didn’t witness this happen in real time. These liars continue to be a stain on our nation.
Sad and destructive. A betrayal of all who came before them. 🇺🇸
The Department of Defense will seek to demote Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.), a retired Navy captain, as punishment for reminding troops in a video last year that they are obligated to refuse illegal orders. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
How does an entire administration not understand this basic reality? Venezuelan oil is not profitable.
Heavy crude takes years to extract profitably. It requires massive upfront investment, specialized infrastructure, refineries configured for heavy oil, long timelines, and political stability.

In an attempt to distract from Convicted Felon Donald Trump’s criminal culpability, Republicans wasted time in SC Jack Smith’s depo asking about subpoenaed toll records of Republican lawmakers.
I explain why it’s just typical theatric Republican bullshit over nothing.
youtu.be/6qidzBwGl0E?...
He’s definitely talking about the insurrection act - that was always the plan if SCOTUS didn’t let him use the Guard as his personal military force. He’s going to look for a reason to invoke the Insurrection Act and bypass their ruling.
He’ll probably try martial law before he’s done. Won’t work.
Not if we do our jobs, it won’t. We need to make sure people are aware of the change, and we need to urge everyone to vote as early a possible in their states.
Barring that, we’re going to have to be willing to stand in line to vote on Election Day - we have a nation to save.
Smith has a raging hard on for Trump..
Jack Smith: There is no historical analogue for what President Trump did in this case. Fraud is not free speech.

Zohran gets right to work going after bad landlords on day 1
THIS ISN’T GETTING ENOUGH ATTENTION.
More than 100 immigration judges have been fired nationwide since Trump took office. 21 in San Francisco alone, many without explanation.
Why? Because these judges provided due process under US law.
The Trump admin doesn’t want hearings or fairness.

If I remember correctly, old Twitter, back when it had actual trust & safety people, had a process for archiving old administration accounts into a different account name before giving the incoming admin the name.
AOC: Zohran Mamdani will be the first Muslim mayor of our great city. He will be our first immigrant mayor in over a century. He will be the youngest mayor of New York City in generations. Most importantly, Zohran will be a mayor for all of us .
Thinking this is wrong is not radical.
Thinking it isn’t is.
Mamdani: I have been told that this is the occasion to reset expectations, that I should use this opportunity to encourage the people of New York to ask for little and expect even less. I will do no such thing. The only expectation I seek to reset is that of small expectations.
Smith: There was an exchange between the two where Epshteyn asked Bannon if he was in touch with him. The answer was affirmative, and it was something to the effect of, “He’s still on fire.”
So in 2026, the USPS will no longer process mail as it comes in. It will process mail when they feel like it. So they can deliver a letter or a package a month later. The Convicted FElon is doing this to prevent mail-in voting without outlawing it. He doesn't want the Democrats to win the Midterms.
Smith: We had also interviewed Boris Epshteyn… He corroborated that they were, in fact, trying to call senators. He dissembled and tried to imply that the president hadn’t directed him to do it, even though there was a text message saying specifically that they had.
Question: But the president’s statements that he believed the election was rife with fraud—those are statements protected by the First Amendment, correct?
Smith: Absolutely not. If they are made to target a lawful government function and are made with knowing falsity, then no, they are not.
