It's extra depressing b/c I know normies just won't care about this. But closed archives is a thing only authoritarian regimes do. It's a thing that absolutely prevents any sort of real history from being written.

If you need a mask to enforce the law, you don’t deserve a badge. Federal agents are snatching people off the streets—faces covered, names hidden. This isn’t safety. It’s secrecy. It’s not America. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/why-are-fe...

I can’t speak for every city, but here in LA, ICE bounty hunters aren’t going after gang members. They’re hunting the vulnerable: gardeners, street vendors, day laborers. Easy money, no risk. Folks need to stop pretending this is about crime. @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social—thank you for your words.

Know who gets richer off wars? Rich fucks. Know who dies in wars? Poor fucks.

FUCK YEAH 💥🤬

“It’s the largest redistribution from poor to rich in a single bill in American history.” It's a play in three regressive parts: 1. Tax cuts for the rich. 2. Spending cuts on the poor. 3. Tariffs that hit low-income folks hardest.

Its time all cities and states do this. Masked and armed? No ID or official documents (or specific warrants)? Arrest and Jail and impound their vehicles... The arrest record should provide their ID for the public as well...

In case you didn't know there's a group that's already got this going #generalstrikeus.com Over 355,000 people have already committed. When they reach the right number they're ready to go please share this everywhere with everyone.

"The Constitution grants Congress the sole power to declare war." . . to ensure the balance of power and prevent the president from unilaterally initiating military conflict. This power is a check on the executive branch. 🤦‍♀️

Pope Leo to politicians: You have a “responsibility to promote and protect, independent of any special interest, the good of the community, the common good, particularly by defending the vulnerable and the marginalized.” www.vatican.va/content/leo-...

Masked ICE agents spotted swapping out license plates this morning in Bell Gardens, CA

"Our Constitution, written by our founders, is intended to protect us against a threat identical to Donald Trump – someone who seeks power at all costs to get more power." Al Gore

There have been a lot of low moments in this country because of hate and racism-this shit is up there…

No bullshit, the safest thing to do in the eventuality that some armed masked man in ill-fitting body armor attacks you or someone else is assume they are a criminal. This is unsustainable. People are going to get hurt or killed with all this cosplay going on.

I don't think we're in a democracy anymore. Unmarked secret police kidnapping people off the street? A dictator mobilizing the military against civilians? Defying court orders? Ignoring due process? Arresting political opponents? Democracy has left the building. We CAN & MUST get it back, though.

LA RESIDENT: “The cruelty is staggering. People are hiding in their homes from the federal government like Anne Frank. If you’re a Christian and you’re still supporting this you’ve lost your mind. You’re not gonna get a job because of what they’re doing. Absolute brutality.”

I don’t know, I just don’t think we should be making decisions with geopolitical implications that could result in millions of deaths and catastrophic damage based on a passage in Genesis.

So Starship Ship 36 just detonated *before* the static fire test - fueled and waiting for the test. Looks like the top tank lets go and sets off the whole stack. It would be bad enough if it let go during the static fire test, but it just blew up. And it's cooking off the fuel tanks on the pad.

This country has to do more to stop this useless, expensive cruelty. Hey, what if our inert and feckless MAGA Congress worked with Dems to pass an immigration reform law? I’m so sad and mad.

BREAKING: The White House lashed out at the creators of this ad for "fear-mongering". It must have really struck a nerve. Maybe they don't like being outed as fascists. You know what to do: SPREAD THIS EVERYWHERE! #MAGAKidnappers

perfect timing, Maghats When Iranian sleeper cells attack us here at home, that shits on you Kool-Aid drinking Maghat Morons

Punishing blue cities. Denying healthcare to Dem veterans. Penalizing schools for teaching ideas associated with Dems. Denying federal revenue/support to institutions associated w/Dems. Trump is effectively criminalizing opposing him. Big time dictator energy. www.thedailybeast.com/why-trumps-u...

We The People do not consent to POTUS’ declared war on cities. There is NO emergency requiring federal occupation by a more aggressive ICE and DHS. This is a ploy to normalize Peter Theil’s electronic surveillance state. Palantir is being used to locate people as it vacuums up our personal data.

Luv this… and the strong women who take no shit

Twitter is losing its mind over Vance Boelter Here's what I found: Vance Boelter is a register rep. A hit list was found in his car that had at least 70 names of Democrat lawmakers and pro-choice activist and groups. He was an ordained minister and was very vocal on his Christian Nationalist stance

No King protest in San Diego. Incredible. 💙👊

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Sound familiar?

😡😡😡😡

Lies never stop

The joke of the weekend is going to be a man who was so scared that he had his daddy keep him from having to fight in a war...and is now having a military parade to try and convince people that he is brave. #BoneSpurs
