An ICE officer said, "I don't need a warrant." Things are escalating. We may end up striking simply because we all fear going out. Soon, they will get anyone off the streets for "harboring" people. The ones they released didn't get their phones back. Glendale, CA.

😭

If what Republicans do when they’re in office is considered “fiscally conservative,” then fiscally conservative means making the economy worse & adding to the national debt. Maybe we need to be branding lowering the debt & improving the economy as “fiscally liberal.”

BREAKING: PLEASE SHARE Christian Stephen, a member of the US military was placed on a 72 hold in a psych facility for posting this video stating that he wants to uphold our Constitution.

ICE Please Note: “Protests won’t stop while these arrests continue.” ✊

Instead of CUTTING Social Security benefits, Congress should INCREASE payments by $200 per month and extend the solvency of the Social Security program by 75 YEARS. How? Make the wealthiest Americans pay a fairer share. I’ve got a bill to get it done.

“ICE in just a few weeks has transformed itself into the closest thing that the US has ever had to a ‘secret police,’ with more seemingly culturally in common with the Klan nightriders of Reconstruction than their federal agency brethren like the FBI or ATF.” @garrettgraff.bsky.social

The emotional pain being inflicted upon families by Trump’s ill-conceived & poorly executed “mass deportations” is unconscionable But—of course—he doesn’t care.

The thing about the Khalil case is that it's very very good that he's free now but you can't have it take three months between "the government kidnaps you off the street for no basis reason whatsoever" and "a judge makes them let you go." You just can't.

If you think it can’t happen here, remember that it already did. In 1942 soldiers came with rifles to our home and ordered us out. They put us in internment camps. Most of us were citizens.

Now she has a chance to possibly stop a regime change war and is doing… nothing.

an easy disguise: all you’d need are some black masks

It’s despicable that people with their faces covered are allowed to arrest anyone they want without ever identifying themselves. That should be a crime.

Happy Bob and Willie Day to all who celebrate. The Outlaw Tour resumes tonight in Clarkston, Michigan.

Found this today, courtesy of new follow. The Anti-Autocracy Handbook. Academics & scholars will want to refer to it frequently in the period that lies ahead. Stay strong, & keep showing up. zenodo.org/records/1569...

Happy Juneteenth, everyone!!

This doesn’t surprise me at all…

I missed Bloomsday, but I’m always delighted when people bring up Joyce’s filthy, filthy fart letters

Good morning bluesky!

I think if you’re a lawmaker calling for U.S. military action against Iran, you should be required to post a verified video of yourself pointing it out on an unlabeled map and offering at least an undergraduate level summary of the past five years of Iranian foreign policy.

We are well into reject the evidence of your own eyes and ears as state policy.

Melissa Hortman was only 55 years old. She had a lot more to do. It is so bitter and so sad that her life was taken - assassinated for fighting for what she believed in. It will now be up to us to carry on these fights.

Sen. Alex Padilla (D-CA) Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-NJ) Mayor Ras Baraka (D-Newark) Judge Hannah Dugan (WI) Controller Brad Lander (D-NYC) This is not normal. This is not okay. We cannot let them convince us that this is normal or okay.

Note to Congress: YOu have the power of the purse. If you don't want US to enter a war against Iran don't fund it.

Prayers for an “allergic reaction.” But mockery and hateful conspiracies for murder victims who aren’t in your tribe. With no apology or remorse. Fake Christian, small man.
