also, i can't believe we aren't still talking about the assassination of an opposing party law maker by someone posing as a cop. Would what happen be more clear if she was randomly hit with a falling air conditioner?

🚨🚨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‼️

Major media have a short attention span. The huge "No Kings" protests were good for photo ops on a Saturday, and coverage was eclipsed by the Minnesota assassination. But what's really lacking are step-back stories about what 2,000 protests in 50 states mean for Trump's standing and the resistance.

Trump likes to say he’s bringing in trillions of dollars in investments to the US from foreign countries, but his spending legislation would allow the federal government to impose taxes on foreign-parented companies and curtail foreign investors. apnews.com/article/trum...

I ran an experiment, simultaneously posting articles on Bluesky and X, and then testing to see how many people actually clicked and read them. The numbers on Bluesky are higher, both because the X algorithm downranks journalism, and because Bluesky attracts readers, not just shitposters.

As someone whose cancer may be returning (ovarian cancer is obnoxious like that) I, too, think curing cancer should be something that the United States is committed to. I (an American citizen, fwiw) am far more likely - BY ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE - to be killed by malignant cells than any immigrant.

One argument I tried to make to centrist, right-leaning folks during 2024 was that if you really hate street protest and unrest and chaos, then you should absolutely not vote for Donald Trump, because he 100% guarantees more.

First they illegally deport citizens. Then they unleash ICE to terrorize communities. Now they’ve got the National Guard in L.A. to silence protestors. This ain’t about law and order. This is what authoritarianism looks like.

And there you have it. ICE didn't target migrant workers in Kristi Noem's farms or Sarah Huckabee Sanders' meatpacking plants because they wanted to create a riot in LA as a pretext to declaring martial law. They don't care about undocumented migrants, they only care about controlling US citizens.

Now the Trump administration is using social media to spin that people who are standing up to ICE are "insurrectionists" funded by ActBlue, so the main Democratic grassroots fundraising arm is to blame. THIS WAS THE PLAN ALL ALONG. shero.substack.com/p/trump-sets...

The return of Abrego-Garcia to face due process in the US, after Trump officials swore he would never ever return to the US, is a reminder that politics matters and pressure works. Don’t give up. Don’t let the fascists relax.

Carrot win. Remember to make your daily calls to your senators demanding they vote down Trump’s big death bill that ridiculously forbids state AI regulation for ten years. You don’t want to be livestock on Palantir’s election-fixing bank account-stealing factory farm. #HandsOffOurDataPeterThiel

#ProudBlue Every word that Scott Galloway said 👏👏👏👏👏👏 I feel it all to my core. I’ve been screaming this since Trump came down the escalator. Why are we excusing their abhorrent behavior? Musk & Trump are morally bankrupt. Kevin O’Leary doesn’t even know what to do with his face.

Don't be fooled by any of Trump's performative BS. Unless he actually pushes for sanctions, this is the crocodile tears of a narcissistic sociopath. Also, note that he blames Zelensky as much as Putin for the war--those bad Ukrainians, asking to be invaded!
