I cannot express this enough: If and when the tide turns away from fascism, you cannot mistake a ceasefire for peace. They never, ever want peace. You must persecute those responsible to the ends of the earth. You must make future generations fear a repeat of their fate.

Instead of sending expensive American jets to bomb a far away country, can’t we just fix our airports. I am sitting on another delayed flight. But hey there’s always money for war. What a joke.

When we moved into this house a couple years ago, my very kind neighbor was like “oh FYI my husband is a concert cellist so if it’s ever too loud or disturbing you or anything, please just let us know.” You know what, hasn’t been a problem.

Iranians are already victims of this insane theocracy of the Ayatollahs, don’t make them also victims of an unjustified war.

Your Cherokee words for today. The top word is English followed by how it is written in the Cherokee language followed by how it is spelled in English then how to pronounce it phonetically. A hunter had been tramping over the mountains all day long without finding any game and when the sun went

A bill creating a minimum wage for farmworkers in Maine has been signed into law. Starting next year, farmworkers' minimum rate will rise to $14.65 an hour. Currently, their minimum wage is only $7.25/hr.

I agree with John Major on this: "One of the things I think that has really damaged the public's understanding of politics is the lack of the long interview. "Nobody [is] given an hour to sit the PM or senior member of government or opposition down, and probe deeply into what they're going to do."

Senior US officials are preparing for a possible strike on Iran in the coming days, signaling Washington’s readiness to directly engage in the conflict with Tehran. Plans for a weekend strike and federal agency preparations are underway.

🧵 To our elected representatives, especially @kaine.senate.gov and @markwarner.bsky.social: We are currently in the year 2025, not 1983. 1. Out of the blue today, @kaine.senate.gov sent me an email rationalizing his confirmation vote for puppy killer and KJU fan fiction author.

Concerned citizens have turned to the Neighbors app, once used largely to look for lost deliveries, to make public service announcements about ICE raids in their communities.

Hard to argue with that.

Sir John Major at the Institute for Govt conference just now: "Britain [once] enjoyed a very good global reputation for being as free of corruption and bad practice as any nation in the world. "I think that's a little less true today, and so it's in our national interest to regain that reputation."

open.substack.com/pub/jefftied... when the sentient cockroaches who inherit the Earth from us try to figure out how it all became a smoking, radioactive ruin, they’re not going to believe the truth: that a vindictive, score-settling psychopath went postal because his handlers hustled

WATCH: Five Beaver kits have been born in the wild within Cairngorms National Park 🦫 Park rangers said they were ‘delighted’ to discover the new arrivals which have been captured on their camera traps at two separate sites

Call your Representative tomorrow demand they get louder and more assertive about these masked, unidentifiable thugs who are ripping people off the streets. The current pushback is as “hardcore” as a bowl of warm pudding.

Markwayne Mullin suggests he's privy to secret intelligence indicating Iran is close to having a nuke (the US intelligence community says this is not true)

Hey FIFA Welcome to the World Cup!

ICE is largely not ICE - They are bounty-hunters. Early in January the administration started contacting bounty-hunters offering them $1000-$1500 per immigrant. I think what we keep seeing is likely a mix of bounty-hunters and militia. It would explain outfits, masks, aggression, no badges

Good night 😴 The beautiful thing about learning is that no one can take it away from you. B.B. King

Fuerza responds to scenes where alleged ICE enforcement is reported. If officers are indeed with ICE, they hit record and spread the word. They also speak directly with those being detained. They are part of a growing scrappy network of volunteers protecting neighbors from ICE. bit.ly/4lgke5N

People are like, "Wow, so the Supreme Court can just decide what medical care you get instead of you and your doctor?" Yeah man. That was Dobbs. They don't give a fuck about us, about precedent, the actual text of the law, the intent of the law, or anything else. The law is fake.

Pretty comprehensive public backing for assisted dying in latest YouGov poll -75% believe that assisted dying should in principle be legal in some form in the UK, compared to 14% opposed. Interestingly, this is basically identical to opinion last November.

The MAGA youth might get sent to Iran because Joe Rogan got them all worked up over 10 trans athletes across 50 states.

In 10 short years we've let Propaganda and disinformation take over. I'm really not sure Technology is a good thing.

Remember all the fuss made when President Obama, looking good, wore a tan suit? Yet there is nothing said about a man in our country's highest office wearing a baseball cap?! You can't make this shit up...

“What about interviewing the victims of fascism?” “But the fash girls seem mysterious” “Folks are losing their rights” “But they’re flatironing their hair and hating abortion” “They’re getting ethnically cleansed” “But they’re like, girlbossing about being chained to the kitchen”

I will never again see an ICE agent without assuming they're from Proud Boys or Oath Keepers, a pardoned Jan 6 rioter or a member of the KKK.

The other day, The Washington Post condescendingly mocked me for stating that President Obama should speak out about what Trump is up to. Apparently, Barack Obama's thinking aligned more with mine than The Washington Post's.

I joined Nicolle Wallace on Deadline White House to discuss former President Barack Obama’s warnings of the U.S. being “dangerously close” to autocracy and the recent arrests of Democratic officials. I hope you watch and enjoy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8e8...

Great point 👇 #ResistTrump

Victor Avila, a 66-year-old legal assistant — and a green card holder for 58 years — was detained after visiting his son, who is a member of the U.S. Air Force.

Let God be clear. The people who want war in the Middle East to bring about the “End Times” are MONSTERS.

ICE deports Florida pastor's wife even though judge issued stay of deportation order. She was denied her medication—shackled by wrist, stomach & ankles, leaving severe bruising. Daughters: "We paid everything they asked us, filled out forms, and not skipping anything.”

🚨🚨The White House is pissed off about this ad so you know what to do, share it everywhere! ICE is disappearing people just because of the color of their skin! No Warrant! No Due Process! This is not who we are as Americans! #MAGAKidnappers want an all white America, fuck that‼️

"THE END OF OUR CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC AS WE KNOW IT COULD BE HAPPENING NOW"

It’s extremely telling that oligarchs are all “we love New York” and #NewYorkStrong until someone might make them pay one cent more in taxes and then they’re instantly like “this place is a shithole, we’re outta here”
