I think we’ve reached a boiling point when it comes to ICE. Today in Minneapolis, a militarized task force raided the beloved Lake Street taqueria, Las Cuatro Milpas—and the community was not having it. Agents from ICE, the DEA, FBI, ATF, IRS and HHS rolled up looking like they were ready for war.

idly wondering if the shocked 'i didn't vote for this!' people being interviewed are actually aware of the whole leopards eating my face meme or is it just another one of those things only the terminally online understand

Protect trans kids.

Lyft driver picked me up from UNC, turned out he was a medicinal chemistry post-doc in a building near mine, until his grant got cut last month. Worked on novel antivirals.

Bannon Betrays Big Beautiful Bill

Goldman on Trump's travel plan: "It's pretty consistent with what his 'immigration policy' is, which is just essentially to keep anybody who's not white out of the country."

Goldman: "The idea of focusing on President Biden is a way of distracting from Donald Trump's efforts to completely undermine our democracy, to grift and engage in corruption, and to help out his billionaire buddies by cutting their taxes while taking Medicaid away from the American people."

🚨🚨🚨 In the last two hours, the Trump admin: - Banned all immigrant visas from 19 countries, including Cuba, Haiti, and Venezuela - Banned all student and researcher visas to Harvard - Colluded with Texas to kick 20,000 undocumented college students off of in-state tuition.

This is the correct response to this fascist incitement: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Good God. These people (first pic) look like they're ready for Fallujah. It's actually ... the Twin Cities. COWARDS. It's our new Gestapo, "HSI." Remember the famously brutalizing Alabama police of the Selma March in 1960s? Second pic is how they looked. Now, cosplayers and cowards.

BREAKING: Donald Trump has imposed a travel ban targeting 12 countries.

seems silly to tell him this in an article, just talk to him

being intimidated by bluesky is so funny. yeah i keep getting my ass kicked every time i go to bath and body works

the enemy of my enemy is also my enemy. can't have too may enemies.

This exchange is revealing, terrifying, and intellectually bankrupt. No world leader would ever want to enter a room to deal with this guy because he's a crank.

Someone should make a movie where a 1994 Geo Metro becomes a serial killer and use this hype video as the trailer.

What’s the play here? Bait him by shaming him for not doing something you don’t want him to do? Then what?

They're literally doing the meme

Russia’s casualties to date are on a par with the entirety of Britain’s losses in the second world war. How is the country able to shrug off such staggering losses? https://econ.trib.al/TLhZiR7

Hey @thesixler.bsky.social , your discussion with @brennanleemulligan.bsky.social was fantastic. Hope you guys do indeed play D&D. Oh to be a fly on the wall...

RESULT: Democrats easily defend a state House seat in South Carolina in a special election tonight. Keishan Scott, the 24-year old Dem nominee, won 71% to 29%, so by 42. (Harris had carried the district by 5% last fall; Biden won it by 15% in 2020.)

Yep, that should do it.

Damn @kateshaw.bsky.social got hands

There's a marauding gang of masked men terrorizing our neighbors and they're threatening to jail the parents of trans kids. The fight back against it is comically flaccid and useless. It's not brand building, it's what I actually believe. I'm allowed to believe better things are possible.

Why read the puff piece in the NYT when you can read this?

Clearly, there are not enough avenues to bribe Trump. He needed another.

Russia is on track to suffer its millionth casualty since its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. The staggering figure is a testament to Ukraine’s stubborn defence against a far stronger power. It also poses sobering questions for Europe https://econ.trib.al/nTlZswe

"the first-term Democrat “has missed more votes than nearly every other senator in the past two years” and “regularly skips committee hearings, cancels meetings, avoids the daily caucus lunches with colleagues, and rarely goes on the Senate floor”

i've never gotten into short form video or chatgpt and im so hyped to eventually be one of the last remaining people with attention span and analytical skills, i think it's really going to increase my value to enterprising warlords during the water wars

I would like to imagine he’s drawing up X’s and O’s over the top of it like it’s Monday night football lol

So damn proud of these kids for their courage. 💥 Hundreds of Milford, MA high schoolers walked out in protest today after ICE detained their classmate Marcelo Gomes Da Silva. Detained on his way to volleyball practice. Illegally. These students aren’t backing down—they’re rising up. #OnYourSide

Cuts have consequences, illustrated. As seen on TV 📺

Ron DeSantis stranded drivers at a bridge with no warning just to stop rainbow colors from appearing on it.

Whether it's liberals putting fliers on the windshield of Chris Cillizza's Tesla or conservative zip-tying toddlers and sending them to torture prisons, both sides could use a lesson in basic civility.

wonderful to see so many companies celebrating pride month this year

Given the way the admin has interpreted these agreements, I'm not sure how you can say you have no conflict if they are ever adverse to the government If one client says you owe them a $2 trillion in legal work and they get to pick the cases, how can you tell another client there's no conflict?

A brutal 2–1 decision from the 5th Circuit forcing the removal of a young girl to Venezuela even though she has lived in Texas for years and it is the only home she can remember. The dissent verges on incandescence in its fury and despondency. Incredibly bleak. www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...
