SAM is a major pillar in the fight against this whacked combination of Christian nationalism and Authoritarianism. People unified and resolute shifted the balance of power in Minneapolis, not with guns, tear gas, threats or intimidation but with humanity, dignity, and a commitment to the truth. They modeled courage and compassion by standing up for each other and for what is right against people who cling to weapons and lies because they have nothing else. I stand with Minnesota and SAM!
Why did it take a white man to be killed for this to happen? I’ll tell you why, Ms. Good was a gay woman. Two strikes against her in this misogynistic, racist, homophobic regime. Scott Bessent and Tim Scott are their token gay and black guys. And ALL of the women that surround him are abject psychopaths. The whole: “One of my cabinet members is gay. One of my cabinet members is black….” thing does not work.
Yeah. Sad. But the perfect is the enemy of the good, remember. Once we rid ourselves of the murdering goons and their enablers, we can start burnishing the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Shoulder to shoulder, Kay.
Yep. It stinks and has bugged me all week, but I'm choosing as a matter of pragmatism not to dwell on the shit, but rather on the forward progress, however it comes. When I went to a protest after Renee's killing I saw a little girl of around 9 carrying a big bourquet of white roses, which she later placed on a memorial we made out of snow in the park. Her father had bought the roses and held onto them during most of the walk from downtown into the park. I think of that, for now.
WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Taking decisive action to stem a spiraling crisis, on Tuesday the White House replaced an asshole with a different asshole.
Stephen Miller, widely regarded as the senior asshole in the Trump administration, masterminded the sociopath substitution, White House sources said.
Minutes after the decision was made to swap psychos, Miller assembled an array of qualified miscreants in the White House Situation Room, including Kristi Noem, Pete Hegseth, Pam Bondi, Karoline Leavitt, and Marco Rubio.
“Anyone who thinks this administration is going to run out of assholes any time soon better think again,” Miller told reporters. “We have a very deep bench.”
It's like replacing diarrhea with a semi-solid turd ... totally performative and pretty much no difference between the two! Bovino still works with the agency, so he's not gone completely. We still have a lot of work to do!
Say it loud and say it proud. Authoritarian regimes always overreach, and it's almost always the beginning of the end. We've seen illegal killings on the high seas, killings by neglect with the cancellation of aid programs at home and abroad, the suffering of untold numbers of Federal employees, including high ranking military officers of valor, the invasion of a soveriegn nation, bombings of several such, the proposed invasion of a long term ally's territory, the beginning of a raft of gaudy, unnecessary and expensive, self-glorification projects for the POTUS, a burgeoning attack on our voting rights, and medical malfeasance at a scale unmatched in history. Twice. And now murders in Minnesota. Time to take out the trash.
Rumor has it, they are sending Bovino back to work in CA. A man who orders murders, is not going to be held accountable. The trump mafia is just moving him out of site, and sending in the bigger boss, Tom Homan, who orders daily torture like the rest of us order coffee. Homan proudly reported that Alligator Alcatraz met the highest standards and conditions. When you think trump’s regime can’t get worse, wait a minute.
Here is a letter that anyone can send to their specific US Representative and Senators. It's origin is from a previously posted letter of similar wording. I added some stronger words, but absolutely no cussing, no vitriol, or threats of violence. You may find the names and email addresses of your specific US Rep or Senators on this link: https://www.usa.gov/elected-officials
Find a spine. Find a vertebra. Find some strength in yourself to stand up for this Country and the people who live here! When you stand for Donald Trump, you are indeed standing for a proven dysfunctional and out-of-control DHS regime. When you stand for Donald Trump, you are standing for the poorly-trained federal militia in our streets, some who shoot citizens who have doing nothing wrong. America is not a nation that kills its own citizens and then lies about it. We are not a nation that allows unaccountable, masked, and heavily armed federal agents to walk American streets in open violation of the First, Second, Fourth, and Fourteenth Amendments.
If you cannot find it in yourself to do something about this horrific situation, then please know my beloved country will find new leadership. If you will not stand to keep us safe, we are not afraid to work peacefully and tirelessly to remove you from office, including the other spineless Congressional members who cower in a silent fear of a tyrannical president and his narcissistic policy of targeted retribution.
Please, do your job that you swore an oath of office to; not to a President, but to our Constitution and it’s democracy. Do it with an ounce of bravery. All it takes is a hundredth of the bravery that Renee Good or Nurse Pretti had or the bravery shown in the tens of thousands of Americans who fought and died defending our Constitution, it’s democracy.
I restacked David Jolly's speech, embedded in Charlie Sykes's always excellent post today. It is remarkable and should be read by ALL Americans. He's really nailed it!
Midget Mussolini Bovino, Noem, Homan, Miller, Kevin Roberts and the Heritage Foundation, Congressional RethugliCons, the Trump Crime and Terrorist Regime have all not only burned the Constitution and the Rule of Law to the ground (key note-that works BOTH WAYS so be on notice), they are burning the Republic to the ground and trying to push us to literal war. Heritage Foundation funds and architected what is happening and they pushing full force ahead on their P25 and indoctrinating a swath of MAGATS to war. All of these fascists and Christo-Fascists MUST BE STOPPED. And they must receive severe and significant consequences for their words and actions. The People’s Tribunals and US Nuremberg 2028. They MUST be implemented.
He'll just be replaced by another Nazi thug. It's all theater with a lawless president. Many more will die before this is over. Thank you, SAM, for shining the light nonetheless! Recurring donor here.
Minnesota has the juice. Bless the courage and persistence of the people on the streets of Minneapolis.

Agreed it is an excellent first step. But one that is tainted by bullshit.

Keith Porter, Renee Good, and Alex Pretti are heroes of the resistance. Iam so sad it took their death fir us to make some heaway in our pushbck.
We WILL FIX THIS! Vive le Resistance.
Beautiful.
Major point about those women. So like Iowa's GOP female legislators. The men are also toxic, or course.
OMG. Joni Ernst. WTAF.
Replacing Mr. Bovino with Mr. Homan is just PR. I would be surprised if the ICE agents behave differently!

Time to sweep this grotesque amalgam of putrid monsters into the dustbin of history.

Do better, or do a different job.

I want to repeat your words
They are not invincible
When we refuse to back down, when we stay in the streets
When we refuse to let them normalize their vioLence
LET'S KEEP THAT TO HEART AND ACT TOGETHER
Don’t kid yourself. Homan is worse. Just not the fun gruppenfuhrer outfit.
When they name the killers that will be a sign of progress. Right now it's just a shell game.
Gouge their eyes out and
The blinking will stop.
Where is the Alex Pretti Phone 📱?
Who has his evidence?
Great question!!!
IDK, but am assuming Noem's shop.
They probably destroyed it!
I put nothing past them. Phone calls can be accessed surely?
