"Everything we do is legal, ethical, and moral."

Don't believe ICE and their lies, please help share what's happening in Minneapolis. youtu.be/W1dyNcRGRXY

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.

The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

Yes, that does say it all.

So an officer has his phone out recording obviously distracted, shoots a woman and calls her a “f’ing Bitch” and they think that HELPS the case?!?

Stephen Colbert on the ICE murder of Renee Nicole Good: “The message from this administration is clear. Only they determine the truth. And when their forces come to your city: obey or die. And if you die, you clearly didn’t obey. This should be an alarm bell for the entire country.”

He’s projecting SO HARD and doesn’t even realize it.

Scariest jack-o’-lantern I’ve seen this Halloween.

Raskin: "It's not lost on anyone that shutting the government down allows them not swear in our new colleague, Ms Grijalva from Arizona, who would be the 218th signature to discharge the Epstein files and to put a vote on that on the House floor."

Trump is the terrorist. They create the violence & blame us bsky.app/profile/chri...

Ha

YES on Prop 50 in California !

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

Semi-regular reminder that a sane country would have already impeached and removed. But then again a sane country wouldn’t have elected a maniac criminal twice in the first place.

What we are witnessing is an outright abuse of power.

This administration is attacking critics and using fear as a weapon to silence anyone who would speak out. Media corporations — from television networks to newspapers — are capitulating to these threats.

“people have got to stop framing simple policy disagreements in terms of existential threats to our democracy. you can’t call the other side fascists and enemies of the state and not understand that there are some deranged people in our society who will take that as cues to act.” the fucking nerve of this guy. Holy Mike is pissing on all of our heads right now, and going ‘mmm, doesn’t that refreshing rain feel great?’ tell us, Mike, what are these ‘simple policy disagreements’ that ‘our side’ is blowing all out of shape? is it ‘should the US military invade a state,’ is that a simple disagreement? how about ‘should states redraw their maps in order to rig elections’? oh, here’s one: ‘should a president get to declare that he “has the right to do anything he wants”’? maybe it’s just me, but all those things sound absolutely like ‘existential threats to our democracy.’ spoiler alert: yes, these are indeed literal existential threats to democracy. Donny Convict believes he should have all the power, and should be above the law at all times. he wants to remain in office indefinitely. all of this is fundamentally anti-American. our founders would shit their breeches if they could see what has become of their ‘grand experiment.’ Holy Mike wants to downplay all that. c’mon, he says, it’s just two sides bickering. what’s with all the rhetoric? hey, Mike — is this your guy? help me here, is ‘should Liz Cheney face a firing squad’ a ‘simple policy disagreement’? now Mike, what was that were you saying about how it’s unacceptable to call someone a fascist? I’m asking because ABC News has put together a supercut of the numerous times that Donny Convict has done exactly that.

MIKE JOHNSON, WHO I NEVER VOTED FOR, HAS THE NERVE TO FRAME DONALD TRUMP'S FASCISM AS "NO BIGGIE, JUST A 'SIMPLE POLICY DEBATE'." FUCK OFF, HOLY MIKE — THAT SHIT IS UN-AMERICAN. MANY ARE THANKING YOUR TO YOUR FAVORITE WRITER (ME!) FOR WRITING TODAY'S VERY STRONG POST. READ IT HERE: bit.ly/4mna03F

Donald Trump promised he'd lower grocery prices.

Today, almost all grocery products are more expensive than they were a year ago.

His tariffs are hiking prices and hurting American families.

Long-term unemployment at post-pandemic high, straining workers and economy The US economy is seeing a rise in long-term unemployment, with over 1.9 million Americans out of work for 27 weeks or more, sparking concerns about the labor market.

With the right folks in charge, it doesn't take long to get from a US economy that is "the envy of the world" to this:

"The long-term unemployment number is a post-pandemic high and a level typically only seen during periods of economic turmoil..."

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) on the shooting of Charlie Kirk:

"Political violence, unfortunately, has ramped up in this country ... I think there are people who are fomenting it in this country. I think the president's rhetoric often foments it."

I hope Charlie Kirk recovers quickly then, like James Brady, uses his megaphone to help advocate for common sense limits on firearms.

Grandparents for Vaccines launches to share stories of life before immunizations New volunteer group aims to educate parents about vaccine importance by sharing personal experiences with preventable diseases.

"The group brings together hundreds of grandparents nationwide who lived through diseases such as polio, tuberculosis and measles — illnesses once thought eliminated in the United States..."

Masked raids are tools of fear, not freedom. Despite what this administration wants you to believe, they are not about “safety.” They are about letting ICE agents hide from accountability while carrying out inhumane acts.

it cannot be stressed enough that it shouldn’t have to be this way. California shouldn’t have to do fuckery to counter Texas’ fuckery. in a sanely-run country, every state’s maps would be mandated by an independent commission that would divvy everything up in a fair and non-partisan way. y’know, true representational government. none of these fucked-up amoeba-shaped districts like the one that enables the shouty half-dressed degenerate wrestling coach Jim Jordan to be reelected over and over in perpetuity, despite being one of the most-useless pantloads ever to stalk the halls of Congress. but we don’t live in a sanely-run country. we live in the United States of the Stupidest Bullshit Ever, where every fucking thing has to be a battle. it’s the dumbest possible way to run a country. but this is a battle the Republican Party started — because they know their policies fucking suck, and they can’t win free and fair elections. so they’re all the hell with playing fair, let’s just cheat our way to victory. it’s the Donny Convict way.

SORRY, REPUBLICANS (STUPID LOSERS!), IT'S NO MORE "MR. NICE GOVERNOR" FROM THE DEMOCRATS. YOU STARTED THIS REDISTRICTING WAR, AND IF YOU WANT TO "PLAY DIRTY," FINE, SO BE IT, SAYS YOUR FAVORITE WRITER (ME!) JEFF TIEDRICH. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO READING MY POST WHICH IS HERE: bit.ly/3JvPtvQ

Good morning. Trump is protecting Epstein files. The confederacy lost and they were traitors, mRNA vaccines are the future, cops shouldn’t wear masks, Trump cut taxes for the rich and ripped benefits from the poor.

Have a weekend

What CBS' disgraceful termination of Stephen Colbert illustrates is how quickly a Republic can fall when the media chooses cowardice instead of courage.
