Brooklyn Park police chief Mark Bruley: "We're hearing people being stopped with no cause & being demanded to show paperwork to determine if they're here legally. We started hearing from our police officers the same complaints. Every one of these individuals is a person of color... it has to stop"
folks, this is some really weird shit. the president is not well.
As Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis stated in 1933; “We can have democracy in this country or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of the few, but we cannot have both.”
Today, at a time of unprecedented income & wealth inequality, his words ring truer than ever.
As it turns out, the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun *isn’t* a good guy with a gun—it can be a good guy *without* a gun. Just another NRA lie.
U.S. Senator John Fetterman & A @SenFettermanPA ICE performs an important job for our country. Any calls to abolish ICE are 7 inappropriate and outrageous.
Fetterman on ICE.
Steny Hoyer: "Is this infantile bill to rename the Gulf of Mexico really this House's top priority?
*phone rings*
I think Saturday Night Live just called me. They want me on."
BILL GATES: “The picture of the world’s richest man killing the world’s poorest children is not a pretty one.”

MERKLEY: Are you gonna launch an investigation of the reported violation of the due process of several hundred people?
P: It is not for me to call the balls & strikes
M: You haven't read the Constitution? It says 'all persons'...it concerns me you're not familiar w/the core concept of due process
You dumbfucks said Biden wasn’t “really in charge” and then you handed Trump’s presidency to Elon fucking Musk?
Truly wild to see how Trump is playing second fiddle to Elon Musk. Musk is clearly acting as the de-facto president while Trump just fires off social media posts as if he is Musk's assistant.

At what point does the military step in? Isn’t that what often happens in dictatorships where the dictator goes insane? Isn’t the US military supposed to have a plan for everything?
A memo listing all of the clubs eliminated by USMA.
The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.
This is so incredibly insane
Murphy: "We need to act like a real opposition party in the middle of a constitutional and democracy crisis. That means we should not be moving forward nominees or legislation in the Senate. Ds should not be giving votes to nominee or legislation in the Senate until Rs get serious about this crisis"
Measles, mumps and rubella like this post.
Our United Airlines pilot made sure to emphasize *Mexico* when he said we'd be flying over the Gulf of *Mexico* today.
It's the little things. Microdose hope.
I don’t fucking think so.
In my world, “the talk” is what Black parents have w/our kids, about how to survive an encounter w/police who see them as a threat because of our skin color.
Latino families have their talk, w/kids even younger, about ICE who see them as criminals: “If we disappear…”
Different fear. Same America.
“If the freeze is not stopped, I might lose my house."
Some NSF-funded postdocs are having trouble paying rent and credit card bills because their salaries were paused this week, even though the federal funding freeze memo was rescinded.

Another January 6 insurrectionist Trump pardoned is heading back to prison—this time for killing a woman in a drunk driving crash. Emily Hernandez, pardoned last week, had already pleaded guilty when she caused the fatal wreck. She was sentenced to 10 years today.
Gosh, I remember when we had an actual president instead of a loudmouth bully who won't take responsibility for his actions.
Oh. Interesting 🧐
Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.
Opportunities are everywhere.
Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉
The convict-in-Chief has the nearly $900,000 it costs per plane to deport people, but kids with cancer can apparently F off.
Are we “great again” yet?
The days ahead will be tough, I won't lie to you.
But we're Illinois — we're strong, we hang together, and we will win.
Really love this cartoon from the great Michael De Adder. The outpouring of support coming in has been truly amazing! Thanks everybody!
