House Democrats need to bring articles of impeachment against Kristi Noem, while Senate Democrats need to bring that chamber to a fucking halt.

A great way for Senate Democrats to protest what’s going on is to not have almost 40% of the caucus keep voting to advance a money laundering bill.

Shut down the Senate.

This "one thing to rule them all" is also what's broken with the tech industry in general these days. The goal of either being a monopoly or an acquisition is ruining innovation and society. It also explains why so many founders give off Sauron vibes...

“Safety is not the condition of being temporarily outside the grasp of your enemies, but of trusting yourself enough to know that your friends will never come to harm because of you, that you will never become something you despise. FREEDOM AND SAFETY ARE FACTORS UNDER OUR CONTROL.”

I'm just naturally going to gravitate towards the places where I receive the fewest rape threats and I really haven't thought about it much beyond that

THIS A UNITED STATES SENATOR ELECTED BY THE PEOPLE OF CALIFORNIA BEING PHYSICALLY SHOVED OUT OF A MEETING ABOUT WHAT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS DOING TO THE BIGGEST CITY IN OUR STATE.

When we throw up our hands and say none of it matters, we're doing the fascists’ work for them. They don't need to hide their corruption if they can convince us it's pointless to look. They don't need to silence truth-tellers if we've already decided truth is meaningless.

!!!! "In a previously unreported development, federal agents came to suspect that Bukele and members of his inner circle had diverted U.S. aid funds to the (MS-13) gang..."

Trunmp at -7% on immigration in the latest AP-NORC poll, with the exact same split as they found back in April. Sign that once again, when immigration becomes salient, it hurts him. That said, this poll was taken June 5-9, so the current situation in LA is not fully taken into account.

The cruelty in today's politics feels horribly corrosive. Bringing up that hard-working immigrant families — undocumented, yes, but not violent criminals — are being ripped apart based on immigration status doesn't bring compassion or even pause, but gleeful cheers.

The voters in Huntington Beach have spoken.

Today is the birthday of writer & editor Len Wein (June 12, 1948-Sept. 10, 2017). He cocreated Swamp Thing, Wolverine, & most of the new X-Men when he helped revive the team in 1975, and wrote virtually every major hero at Marvel & DC at some point.

I’m in downtown LA where a couple hundred anti-ICE protesters have just started demonstrating.

the thing about the "don't give them the excuse they're looking for" line is that they're not fucking waiting for one, they're not bound by permission or truth or honor or consistency or any kind of legitimacy or rules, they're not fucking vampires, you can't keep them at bay by not inviting them in

few things were more radicalizing for me than when I helped organize a protest with other high schoolers against a George W. Bush speaking event. We were literally just waving signs etc and a bunch of riot cops showed up and started beating us. Boston Globe ran with "Peace protest turns violent"

W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee: “Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”

well that's good *HARVEY WEINSTEIN FOUND GUILTY OF SEX ASSAULT AT RETRIAL

The United States like "okay here's the plan, we completely gut our scientific and medical research programs, spend hundreds of millions on occupying every city with more than eight brown people in it, fuck our trade economy, and kidnap our allies' citizens when they visit here. Then we win!"

Just want to express once again my contempt for all the mainstream and libertarian platforms that promoted this loathsome discount Goebbels. Shame on you.

your ass is scraping the floor if the propaganda you're writing for trump hinges on a quote from sean spicer who picked up before the first ring

Save and repost the next time Democrats get accused of paying their audiences to show up.

The internet has caused modern fascism by letting people pick their own truth. The only way to beat them is to assert our own truth more loudly

As someone said prior, the only reason Greta got released is because people were very loud about her specifically. There are still 8 other flotilla members detained, apparently without fresh water in bedbug infested prison. They all deserve to be fought for, too.

Why is ICE arresting employees but not employers? DOJ policy is to charge the most culpable people. The employers would seem to qualify.

If you’re worried about property destruction wait until you hear about climate change

Periodic reminder that every day is STFU Friday Also, sharing the location of cops in the public performance of their jobs is ironclad First Amendment-protected expression If you're concerned something you've said has you on the Government's radar, call your lawyer instead of posting through it

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

I’ve been reading about the rise of Nazism a lot and one thing that’s really clear is that Hitler at the very beginning was envisioning massive violence against Jews and others, and backfilled everything else to get there. That’s how fascism works. And it’s what MAGA is doing.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

Street Fighter 6 has sold over 5 million copies

“Putting on a Gas Mask.” Tag or send to your friend Chicago, Seattle, Philadelphia, Northern Virginia, New York. Sincerely, California.

Thousands of people marching through Lower Manhattan now demanding ICE get out of New York City.

Our whole society is going Nazi, and it's not because Trump has mass popular support - his support has barely changed in years - it's because our elites are unable to tolerate the uncomfortable experience of opposing bigotry, authoritarianism, and conspiracism in their own social circles.

Greta Thunberg, arriving back in Europe after her abduction by Israel in international waters, explains in 40 seconds why western governments are colluding in genocide:

At no point in this entire article of 16 paragraphs does ABC mention that another cop killed this cop by shooting her in the back. Nor does it mention the name of the cop who killed this cop. Nor does it mention that the civilians involved never fired at them. ABC might as well be state media.

NEW: The Trump admin has plans to send thousands of foreigners to Guantanamo beginning as early as this week, including citizens of close allies UK & France, with no intention of notifying their home governments in advance, per sources and documents
