_murica • > Iran Strikes 12h If you're not in the military you have no idea how fucking bad it hurts to hear your Commander in Chief 1) unilaterally declare war without so much as a press conference 2) observe that war from their mansion in Florida and not at their place of employment 3) glance over the deaths of three of your fellow servicemen women without so much as a live speech 4) follow up the announcement of those deaths with "more will die" My heart is fucking breaking. ramona.hall.714 6h Marine Corps family. We are feeling the same. Just tragic.

Trump has no plan. This is a damning summary from The Economist’s Middle East Correspondent Gregg Carlstrom.

Is This Trump’s Biggest Scam Yet? The Trump-Republican “Big Beautiful Bill” is actually a “Big Ugly Nightmare.”Much of what’s included in it will begin in

Last night, Trump bragged about how he and Republicans "lifted" 2.4 million Americans off of food stamps.

The reality is that their Big Ugly Bill kicked 2.4 million hungry Americans, including many children, off of vital food assistance programs.

Here's what else it did.

Schiff: I've not missed the State of the Union in the 25 years I've been in Congress, but we have never had a president violate the constitution every day with seeming impunity.

We can't treat this as some new normal, so I'm here boycotting...

Warnock: "We heard tonight the rumblings of a desperate man who's trying to present case he can for the midterms. It was half lies, half grievances. He knows he is quickly losing power."

ABSOLUTELY AGREE 💯%.......

once a year the brunchlords at Semafor host a "restoring trust in news" conference where they unironically platform most of the people responsible for destroying trust in news, then lob softball questions at them

this year's lineup is a real doozy

(notice the complete absence of indie media)

oops. White nationalism is a helluva drug.

I don't think it's a good thing for society that everything is now gambling

Any maga that has a problem with the peoples state of the union event I point you to January 6th 2021. Trump the insurrectionist, started his coup with his charade down the block from the capitol.

The Peoples State of the Union protest is on CSPAN 3

Shirley Chisholm was the 1st Black woman elected to Congress in 1968 & the 1st woman & 1st Black candidate to seek the Democratic prez nomination in 1972.

Her #CupOfJoe broke barriers as she fought for racial & gender equality.

It’s not too late for states and Congress to stop Trump from subverting the midterms. I recently explained three things states can do and four things Congress should insist on in order to protect the 2026 midterm elections. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/its-...

S.F. private school cancels in-person classes amid active tuberculosis cases Riordan students in San Francisco will have to switch to remote learning for a week followed by a hybrid learning option as the school grapples with at least three tuberculosis infections.

"I was only following orders" wasn't an acceptable excuse at the Nuremberg trials & won't work now.

#AccountabilityIsComing

Wow! I can’t believe we got this done! Now call your senators and tell them restrictions are nice, but they should strip the BBB funding of ICE and CBP.

You read that headline right. VA Secretary @secvetaffairs.bsky.social needs to resign.

I’m really surprised that Barron isn’t looking to join the military to carry on the Trump family’s proud tradition of military service to the United States.

SUPERBOWL WEEK OF ACTION

Your presence is requested in the run up to the big game! There are so many opportunities to show up & show out, so get plugged in now.

The San Jose community defense coalition is organizing a week of action to keep our neighbors safe & say once again: ICE OUT OF THE BAY

A black-and-white graphic that reads MINNESOTA STRONG alongside a small common loon, which is Minnesota’s state bird

I’m taking the Senate floor to share the story of what’s happening in Minnesota at the hands of ICE and CBP – but more importantly, I’ll be imploring my colleagues (regardless of party) to use our power to rein in ICE’s lawlessness.

Tune in at 3:10pm CT/4:10pm ET

So important. What they say is not the story. That is never the story. What happened is the story. Write what happened.

US Boycott

A global boycott on US continues to grow, Canada leading the front has already nearly collapsed US tourism industry since 2025 and reduced US alcohol purchases by 90%; now Denmark & Greenland have joined to cut off US products. Europe & Mexico also joining. #3E #BoycottUSA

ICE is a secret police force. No warrants. No courts. No lawyers. And no appeals. People vanish in the night, not because they broke the law, but because the law no longer means anything. The knock on the door is the sentence.

Screenshot of an X post by Acyn. The post quotes a dialogue: “Jennings: Let’s not get our knickers in a twist here” followed by “McGowan” saying the attitude is “insane,” calling for bringing people down regardless of party, and alleging a “giant cabal” that doesn’t have to listen to the law. At the bottom is a TV clip still with a man on the left and a woman speaking on the right, with on-screen text including “SUDDEN REVERSAL.”

She nailed Jennings to the wall with this. Good for her.

From Senator Chris McDaniel: “Lately, some folks have taken to calling ICE “the Gestapo.” It sounds fierce. It feels righteous. But it isn’t true, and it isn’t harmless. The Gestapo was a secret police force. No warrants. No courts. No lawyers. And no appeals. People vanished in the night, not because they broke the law, but because the law no longer meant anything. The knock on the door was the sentence. ICE isn’t that. Not even close. ICE is a public agency enforcing laws passed by elected officials. Its agents file reports. They seek warrants. They lose cases. Judges stop them. Lawyers challenge them. Some detainees go home. That’s not tyranny. That’s bureaucracy, for better and worse. You can hate immigration policy. You can argue enforcement is too harsh, too sloppy, or too broad. You can work to have the law changed if you wish. That’s a republic doing what it’s supposed to do. But when you call ordinary law enforcement “the Gestapo,” you cheapen real evil. You turn history into a slogan and suffering into a metaphor. And once every badge is tyranny, no tyranny is left to recognize. In Mississippi, I was raised to believe words should earn their weight. This one hasn't yet. It throws around the language of dictatorship while living under a system where courts still rule, lawyers still argue, and the government still loses. That difference matters. Because the day enforcement becomes secret, unchecked, and answerable to no one, we won’t need to borrow names from history. We’ll know exactly what we’re dealing with. And we’ll wish we’d kept our words honest.”

“ICE isn’t the Gestapo. The Gestapo was…” (proceeds to describe qualities that apply to what ICE is currently doing)

Sen Ted Cruz is very sensitive to cold!

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"

Call to Action: This Friday, Minnesota is being called to stand together in real, visible solidarity. Labor unions, faith leaders, and community organizers are urging people across the state to plan ahead and take part in a Minnesota Economic Blackout do not work, do not attend school, and do not

Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."
