We know accidents happen, illnesses appear, chance defeats us all. But the greatest danger surely must be human passion & follies. We look for reasons & meaning in human behavior and they simply don't exist. We're left only w/ awe, despair, or foolish hope

I've said it before, I'll say it again: pitch it as increasing SCOTUS to at least 100 Justices, with randomly selected pools of 9 to hear each case, such that no single Justice matters so much.

Brownshirt ICE rolled up to my local Home Depot today and got the F-off treatment. Shoutout to this woman because this is exactly how it’s done. No badge, face covered = F*ck all the way off. 📌 It’s on us citizens to stand up for our vulnerable brothers and sisters.

BREAKING: SCOTUS over liberals' dissent, blocks district court order requiring process before carrying out third country removals. SCOTUS's order allows Trump admin to carry out third country removals without the protections required—notice and opportunity to raise a challenge. No reason is given.

BREAKING: Iranian State TV just said "Every American citizen or military in the region is now a target"

Personally I am unfamiliar with any legitimate activity that requires switching license plates, which by the way is illegal.

🚨Watch out for this story tomorrow (FRI). A group of Catholic bishops, priests & faith leaders are going to the federal court building in San Diego to stand in solidarity with migrants at their hearings. ICE has already assaulted elected officials. Will they beat up priests next?

Only 85 days ago.

DHS wants 72 hours notice before inspections of detention facilities. Kind of defeats the purpose, doesn't it?

Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium. ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.

“A horrible display of waste… rotting fruits and vegetables… store after store closed… if the ice raids continue be ready for even bigger sticker shock when you go grocery shopping…” 🍎 🥕

I don't know about you...but I'm disturbed by the amount of hell NOT being raised by leadership about masked individuals jumping out of unmarked vans, refusing to identify themselves...and just shoving people into a Goddamn vehicle and whisking them away.

It should be illegal for law enforcement to wear masks and not show ID. This makes it too easy to impersonate law enforcement and murder people in their homes.

SLOTKIN: Have you given the order to be able to shoot at unarmed protesters in any way? HEGSETH: What is that based on? SLOTKIN: It is based on Trump giving that order to your predecessor, who I give a lot of credit to bc he didn't accept the order. He has more guts & balls than you

When ICE agents look like this, it is ENTIRELY APPROPRIATE for state and local law enforcement to step in and demand they identify themselves and show judicial warrants before detaining anyone from an immigration court. Democratic mayor and governors can take action on this.

Can someone in immigration law explain to me how this is legal?

Don’s right. Trumpism not just permits, but demands, overt hostility to a wide array of American values, institutions, culture, and people. Trumpism hates much more of America than it loves.

Mark Carney announces that kids can visit museums for free - an idea from the UK where almost all of our museums are free all year round

Just a reminder that Trump was going to announce his sanctions on Russia for not negotiating “in two weeks” about 3.5 weeks ago. Taco

Hard to argue with that.

Fox News host Will Cain: "The 'No Secret Police Act' would ban local, state, and federal law enforcement from covering their faces when interacting with the public. Officers would also have to wear identifying information on them, like name tags. Hard to believe this is real!"

Context note: DOJ doesn’t turn over evidence to Congress if they have a viable investigation in the works.

Look who Carney gave Trump’s seat to at the G7. Message sent. 🇺🇦👏

i do like that we are probably cementing in rules that it's okay for the president to invade states they don't like. i look forward to president newsom rolling tanks into tulsa to enforce minority-owned small tech business empowerment zones

Hey there Scott Walker. I noticed you deleted this after learning that in fact the shooter was from the right. I don’t think it matters either way, violence is violence, so I’m waiting for you to tweet the same thing with corrected facts? Cuz you’re uh, to use your words, “being silent.”

Sound engineers pointing out in the comments that the applause is from an indoor audience on an outdoor event💀

White supremacist groups have started using the term “accelerationism” to describe their actions to create social chaos leading to a race war and the destruction of democracy, paving the way for a white ethnostate. buff.ly/e9hLd4a By @artjipson.bsky.social @universityofdayton.bsky.social

RFK Jr. says his new vaccine panel has a GW University professor. The school says he doesn't work there www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/r...

I think people are afraid to acknowledge that this is highly possible...

Honestly I still can’t stop laughing 😂😅🤣

It most certainly is!

😂

Fox News brings on Rebekah Koffler to talk about the military parade, but she seems to be heavily intoxicated so they cut away with quickness

Donald Trump does NOT want you to share this footage of his pathetically tiny birthday parade crowd.

Thank you to everyone forcefully, but peacefully, protesting today. We stand together. #NoKings
