The Washington Examiner (the conservative news outlet) reports that Stephen Miller screamed at ICE officials: "What do you mean you're going after criminals? Why aren't you at Home Depot? Why aren't you at 7-Eleven?" Kinda blows up the narrative that they care about public safety.

BREAKING: ICE RAID reported at Buona Forchetta tonight about a mile up the road in San Diego. Smoke bombs were used to disperse the crowd. FUCK ICE. WTF?!

Unbelievable! Today, San Diego witnessed a government-sanctioned kidnapping. ICE stormed Buona Forchetta in military gear ripping workers away, then unleashing tear gas and smoke on the terrified community. Full on police state, fascism now used on American citizens. Stay aware. #OnYourSide

The decline of large seed-dispersing animals has serious implications for trees and other flora. It's also further proof of how very short-sighted it is to view forests as merely bunches of trees, rather than the complex *ecosystems* they are (or at least, should be). www.nature.com/articles/s44...

Internal documents revealed that Trump and Musk have been LYING about Social Security fraud. So I sounded the alarm about DOGE slowing down Americans' benefits based on those lies—and they backtracked. We're not letting DOGE get away with messing with Americans benefits.

Trump just let a ketamine addict spend the last three months plundering every American’s personal data, so I’m really glad Jake Tapper came out with a book about Biden

The return of wolves to the West Coast is an inspiring conservation success story – one made possible because legal protections have allowed them to disperse into new territories. At the end of 2024, there were 75 known wolf families across the three-state region. Learn more ➡️ biodiv.us/4dXGIWR

"What countries do they come from" is really saying the racist part out loud. But the racists and the people who are okay with racism are so used to it at this point that they won't even recognize the problem.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

During the Holocaust, some people responded to calls to Free the Jews with statements that although they thought Hitler went too far, calling for equality and freedom for Jews was the same as calling for genocide against Germans. Those people were called Nazis. Free Palestine.

Reminder this shut the fuck up Friday: "I INVOKE MY RIGHTS TO SILENCE AND COUNSEL AND WILL NOT ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS WITHOUT MY ATTORNEY PRESENT" is the only thing you should say to law enforcement besides asking if you're being detained and providing ID in a stop and ID state. Seriously.

Passed over @aoc.bsky.social for Connolly. Cause...terrifying...new ideas. Many Dems are similar in that regard the GOP - terrified of new ideas, with that age old parental cry, "Turn it down." No, baby, turn it up.
