“Tesla’s driverless ‘robotaxis’ could launch in Austin as soon as June 22. But a demo in Austin today showed a $TSLA, manually driven to test its Full Self-Driving system, failed to stop for a child-sized dummy at a school bus—and hit it.” @cbsaustin @velez_tx

Trump said he was imposing tariffs to get rid of illegal fentanyl use. Anyone know how that's working out? What? Oh. Well, at least we've got peace in the Middle East, cheap gas, and economic stability, amiright?

On 6/12, DHS Sec’y Kristi Noem said “We are staying here to liberate [LA] from the socialists and the burdensome leadership this governor and mayor have placed on this country and this city.” This use of military force to displace a democratically elected is the very definition of a coup.

I personally have gotten a lot of mileage out of pretending to not know what they are talking about and derailing them into defining some talking point, which usually them sound deranged as the underlying claim isn't real. It can backfire though if you arent careful so ymmv

After emancipation, Green Jones testified that he was dragged from his home & brutally beaten by white vigilantes for daring to rent land & employ other formerly enslaved people. The men told him "that they would not allow negroes to live off to themselves."

also worth knowing that hitler actively supported a newspaper that repeatedly demonized jewish people as a criminal element that had to be removed and purged and if this sounds like fox news talking about migrants, black, and trans people... yeah. www.oliverexplains.com/p/the-nazi-f...

My latest scoop: ICE has rescinded its accountability policy for warrantless arrests, giving agents “free license to make any arrest,” per one lawyer representing victims. It follows @theguardian.com exclusive that the agency was told to “push the envelope” to meet Trump’s 3k arrest quota.

This administration is full of sociopathy (antisocial personality disorder): • they are liars •they are deceitful/manipulative • they violate the rights of others without guilt or remorse • they are incapable of empathy • they think they are above the law just like their authoritarian supporters.

They have to act fast. Every one of these complicit GOP reps is up for reelection next fall. They have a 7 seat majority (was 5 before 2 Dems died). This shit can turn around on them just like that, and then they'll have to answer for their role in Trump's criminal rampage. Lock these fuckers up.

Trump admin wants the judge's order, no matter what it is, to say "preliminary injunction," not just so they can appeal and do their typical stall tactics...they want to spin it as a "win." Having the words "restraining order" makes that harder on even MAGA propaganda. Such a weasel ask imo, lol.

Mark this for the history books: “We’re talking about the president exercising his authority, and the president is of course limited to his authority. That’s the difference between a constitutional government and King George,” said Judge Charles Breyer.

Putting their bodies on the line is pretty much all Dems can do, given minorities in the Congress, but it's powerful insofar as they're seen as the legitimate representatives of the people. These are YOUR representatives they're grabbing & shoving! These are YOUR representatives they're silencing!

I traveled to Oxnard the day after immigration raids caused chaos in farming communities. Organizers say they know of at least 35 people arrested, many Indigenous farmworkers. Organizers are reeling and staying on high alert, unclear of what happens next. www.latimes.com/california/s...

"It's not really about the girl, it's not really about abuse. It's not really about a sense of what the victims are going through, that is a pretext." Why anti-migrant riots in Northern Ireland are the result of online radicalisation and racism

RFK Jr. is attempting to circulate a justification for his insane recommendation that people not get the COVID19 vaccine during pregnancy. Fam, I’m sure you won’t be surprised to know that the science he employs in the justification actually says the opposite of what he claims.

The Department of Homeland Security is lying. @padilla.senate.gov identified himself. Urging everyone to go out and righteously and peacefully exercise your freedom of speech and assembly. That’s how we take back our country.

Following the outrageous and violent detainment of Senator Alex Padilla by FBI agents at Kristi Noem's presser, House Speaker Johnson calls for the Senate to "censure" him for "wildly inappropriate behavior." Trump 101: Accuse your opponent of what you are actually doing.

This is a lie. We all saw the video. The Senator clearly identified himself, and he did not "lunge" toward anyone. If these miserable propagandists will lie to you about roughing up a U.S. Senator in a room full of reporters, what won't they lie to you about?

We will not sit on the sidelines. We will speak out when we see wrong. We will speak up to make things right. The president directing DOJ to investigate political rivals is dangerous and unprecedented. Full statement here: www.lwv.org/newsroom/pre... @lwvus.bsky.social @thecelinafactor.bsky.social

A joke right? While Russia bombs Ukrainian cities, U.S. Secretary of State Rubio congratulates Russians on "Russia Day" and says the U.S. remains committed to a "bright future" for the Russian people — and seeks "mutually beneficial relations" with the Kremlin.
