remember, it’s not the heat that gets you… it’s the authoritarian dismantling of US democracy.

A great point about those um sleeper cells is that now any terrorist can just dress up as ICE and walk straight into any building, even federal buildings and boom. And it’s all because ICE refuses to identify themselves or take off their masks.

Israel isn't in control of the United States. This is just who the US is and has always been. Saying we're controlled is just a way of saying we're victims. We're not. We're an imperial power that likes war because it's profitable and enriches our oligarchs. That's it.

This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.

just saw a group of masked men stuffing masked ICE agents into an unmarked car, who were saying "we're ICE we're ICE!" but the abductors shouted to the crowd "no we're ICE!" no one knew who was ICE, so no one in the crowd said anything.

Genuine Question because I Do not understand… so if these men roll up in plain clothes and masks, grab a human being… even a child, and throw them in an unmarked vehicle I am just supposed to look the other way and say nothing ?? Ask Nothing ?

Having a bit of a hard time with the concept that if a guy in a police uniform who has a police vehicle shows up I should lock the doors and call 911, but if a guy in a ski mask with an hGH gut appears to be kidnapping my neighbor, I shouldn’t ask who he is if I don’t want federal charges.

For Dems to even consider a comeback for Cuomo after his serial predation of women, is for Dems to also say that EVERYTHING they claim to believe about equality and women’s rights to be safe in the workplace was bullshit. Do they even get the level of hypocrisy?

PSA for everyone protesting this weekend, the moment you are in cuffs is the moment you need to COMPLETELY stop talking. Do not answer questions, do not volunteer details, don't even talk about the weather. Lawyer up asap and give them nothing. Stay safe y'all!

Possible to start to tell a unified story: "Trump is personally too old, crazy, and confused to run things, so at any given time the question is which co-president is in charge. At first it was Musk, & we got the crazy chaotic DOGE era. Then Navarro: a trade war that crashed markets. Now Miller..."

Whatever problems you're experiencing in your life and in our country, I promise you that undocumented migrants are not the source. Harassing, detaining, and deporting migrants will not alleviate your problems. Leave them alone.

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.”

More people should be talking about the utter freak that is Stephen Miller and his white nationalist worldview. He's the architect behind most of this chaos as Trump is golfing, falling asleep during meetings, making money of memecoins and tripping while climbing stairs.

Probably don't need to worry too much about finding the appropriate form of anti-fascist protest because there is no form of protest that fascists will find acceptable

there is no strategy behind ICE's crackdown on Los Angeles. it is the product of a stephen miller temper tantrum prompted by the fact that, even with a permission slip to do whatever it wants, ICE was not deporting enough people to satisfy him. www.wsj.com/us-news/prot...

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

As someone who has participated in social change movements since literal childhood (>50 years), I’ve heard countless iterations of protester behavior discourse. I encourage people to be wary of provocateurs but to focus on their own actions and on the STATE violence to which people are subjected.

There are moments with authoritarian takeovers where resistance is met with state power and violence in order to intimidate a population into compliance. What happens then literally defines everything. Stay strong. Stay safe. Stay focused.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but doing ketamine, shrooms, and ecstacy on a daily basis while wielding immense political power and a security clearance is bad on multiple levels, and saying so doesn't stigmatize reasonable uses of these drugs or get Musk off the hook for his behavior.

It's really not. When Dems bother fighting back with arguments, they easily win this issue every time. When they stick their head in the sand and ignore it, they lose.

Pretending that laws of society are like laws of physics is problematic for two reasons. First, it makes people think that "illegal" and "impossible" are synonymous; I seriously explain every day that people doing illegal things doesn't make them not illegal.
