New Reuters/Ipsos poll: - 35% of adults approve of Trump’s response to LA protests - 50% disapprove By net +9 adults say the president has “gone too far with arrests of immigrants” Other polls paint similar picture: www.gelliottmorris.com/p/all-the-po...

Also cannot be emphasized enough: Barack Obama successfully negotiated the shutdown of Iran's nuclear program. It exists today because Trump deliberately tore up that agreement. The deaths happening right now can be laid at his door.

For far too many in the U.S., Father’s Day is a grim reminder that incarceration affects entire families, not just the people behind bars. Keeping parents out of jail & prison is critical to protect children from the known harms of parental incarceration. (Made with Girls For A Change)

At least 55,000 Palestinians, over half women and children, have been killed by Israel in the Israel–Hamas war, with more than 127,000 wounded (many more trapped under rubble) and 2 million facing starvation under Israel’s aid blockade. Trump regime backs Israeli war crimes, threatens ICC.

need a shirt that says "I do not want to hear about your interactions with AI. No, not even just this one story. I do not care. You are a loser."

Reminder to everyone that if Trump and his administration succeed in changing this country over the coming year the way they're trying, it's not going to matter if he dies. When Trump kicks the bucket, no one on the right is going to say "okay, I guess now we'll go back to democratic rule."

I’m beginning to understand why corporate executives love AI so much. They are being disagreed with by subordinates and they don’t like it.

Oh. Salt Lake City. Ok.

For those of us at CEO this weekend it’s important to remember the tragedy that happened here on this day not so long ago and how much they DON’T want us to remember.

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

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.
